Challenge your limits! A collection of Vocaloid songs with high keys and soaring high melodies
Many people probably have the impression that “Vocaloid songs have high keys.” In fact, the pitch range you can manipulate with synthetic vocal software is quite wide.
If you own one, you know—you’ve probably tried making it sing at absurdly high pitches, right? In this article, I’ve put together a list of Vocaloid songs with high keys! I think it’s a playlist that can help you choose songs for karaoke or cover videos.
Strictly speaking, in music theory there’s a difference between “a melody that includes high notes” and “a song with a high key,” but I’ve kept things loose here to be more accessible.
By all means, challenge the limits of your own vocal cords!

Alien AlienNayutan Alien
Speaking of Nayutan Seijin, they’re a well-known creator famous for crafting songs characterized by digital rock sounds that make heavy use of electronic tones.
This track is a pop tune with those very traits, and as the title includes “Alien,” it takes on a slightly mysterious air as well.
You might brace yourself, wondering what kind of message rides on such a sound—but the lyrics, filled with irresistibly cute feelings, will surely leave you warm and fuzzy.
A love in tempo: sprightly, adorable, and a little uncanny.
It’s a song not only to listen to, but one you should try singing, too.
Shattered HeartKairiki Bear
A high-sense, stylish four-on-the-floor dance rock track.
It’s a piece by the Vocaloid producer Kairiki Bear—also known for “Venom” and “Alkali Rettousei”—released in 2018.
It’s packed with charm: a light, snappy rhythm, razor-sharp guitars, and a growling, funky bassline! The lyrics are full of catchy, great-sounding words that make you want to say them out loud, too! Throughout the song, the melody almost never drops in pitch.
Think of it as basically high the whole time.
It might be good practice for maintaining your high range.
Ungray DaysTsumiki
Vocaloid producer Tsumiki, whose debut work “Tokyo Diver Fake Show” shot straight into the Hall of Fame and drew attention for its stylish musicality, has been making waves.
His seventh track, “Ungray Days,” released on May 16, 2020, features a tight rock ensemble with edgy guitar sounds that really get your energy up.
With its high key and relentless, driving melody, it truly embodies the essence of a Vocaloid number.
While it’s quite challenging for a flesh-and-blood singer to tackle at karaoke, it’s a track that lets you experience the fun of singing Vocaloid songs.
The Skeleton Band and LiliaToma
It’s a song that immediately lets you know from the intro that it’s “nothing but fun.” As the title includes the word “band,” the sound layers the timbres of various instruments, and together with the rhythm, the cohesion is superb, radiating a charm that makes you want to sway your body.
However, for a song that seems purely fun, there are unsettling words—starting with “skeleton” in the title.
While pondering the hidden message, I want it to be sung with the energy dialed all the way up—that kind of song.
NeroismKairiki Bear
Kairiki Bear, a Vocaloid producer known for supplying songs to many creators—including the YouTuber P-Maru-sama—has also gained popularity for edgy tracks laced with irony.
His 2020 release “Neroism” is perfect for those looking for high-key Vocaloid songs.
The rhythmic guitar that pulses through the uptempo beat is striking, and the cute, girlish vocals of Nekkara Mikoto are a must-hear.
Try singing the uniquely humorous lyrics with your own high-tone voice!
Junky Night Town OrchestraSorry
If you’re looking for a stylish Vocaloid track, this is the one.
It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer Surii, also known for the hit “Telecaster B-Boy,” released in 2019.
The title hints at it, but the glamorous sound that evokes a city night is insanely cool! The arrangement never gets old, featuring phrases with hints of jazz and rock—another big part of its charm.
The key is high, but don’t worry about that—just sing it with full energy and groove!
