The Howling of the Lost OneNeru

Neru – The Wail of the Lost One (Lost One’s Weeping) feat. Kagamine Rin
The Howling of the Lost OneNeru

A track included on the major album “World Domination.” It’s Neru’s second song to reach a million.

Its uptempo, dark style is striking, and it once sparked a boom in the utaite (cover singer) community.

By the way, “号哭” is read as “goukoku” and refers to crying out loudly in wails.

Ghost RuleDECO*27

The song “Ghost Rule” by DECO*27, who has supported the Vocaloid scene since the early days of the boom.

After it was posted, it made history by staying at No.

1 on Nico Nico Douga’s category rankings for about a month.

The chorus, with lyrics that sound like a cry of one’s own existence, is especially captivating.

Sing it out loud and blow off some steam.

This is a popular song featuring melancholic, story-driven lyrics and music video, paired with an up-tempo sound you never get tired of.

It’s also Kemu’s fourth song to reach a million.

The buildup leading into the final chorus is especially cool.

NurseryDancerYugika

NurseryDancer / Mikoto Narukaka

It’s a downer, electrifying electronic tune.

Released in October 2024, this track is a number produced by Vocaloid producer Yugika.

The noisy singing voice of Narukami Mikoto pairs perfectly with the mad, love-obsessed lyrics.

I think it’ll hit right in the heart for those who love a dark vibe.

The difficulty is on the higher side, but why not take on this insanely cool song at least once?

The song that demands the characteristically ultra-high notes of Vocaloid in its chorus is “Asu no Yozora Shoukaihan” by Orangestar.

The basic melody is simple, so while the rapid phrases are tough to sing, it’s perfect at karaoke for those who can at least manage the high notes.

If you’re going to sing a Vocaloid song at karaoke, you might as well take on something challenging! For those people, I recommend “Buriki no Dance.” Its cryptic lyrics and ultra-fast melody make you wonder, “Can a human even sing this?” But if you look it up, there are plenty of cover videos that are really helpful.

Hearing someone make it all the way through this song might just make you burst into applause.

HibanaDECO*27

DECO*27 – Hibana feat. Hatsune Miku

Among Vocaloid songs, rock tracks are especially suited for karaoke.

Many of them have relatively easy-to-sing melodies, and fast-paced guitar rock is perfect for boosting the vibe.

In particular, Hibana doesn’t push the chorus too high, so I think many people will feel they can just about manage it.

If you make it to the end, it’s sure to get everyone hyped.
