A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

In recent years, Vocaloid songs have become widely recognized across many age groups.

Many creators—such as YOASOBI, Kenshi Yonezu, Eve, Yorushika, Yoh Kamiyama, and TOOBOE—have expanded their activities while engaging with Vocaloid, and there are plenty of singers who first gained popularity through “utaite” covers of Vocaloid tracks.

You’ll even see Vocaloid songs ranking high on karaoke charts.

So for those thinking, “I want to sing a Vocaloid song, but I’m not sure which one to pick…,” we’re introducing Vocaloid tracks that are guaranteed to hype up the room when you sing them!

This is a carefully curated collection of fail-safe hits by our editorial team!

Yukopi is a Vocaloid producer whose music stands out with a unique atmosphere that also carries a certain cuteness.

The individuality of the melodies is so distinctive that you can tell a song is by Yukopi at first listen.

“I Want to Eat Naan (feat.

Kaai Yuki)” is renowned as one of Yukopi’s masterpieces, and compared to other works, it stays within a relatively narrow vocal range.
