It’s an upper tune that makes you want to call it downright addictive.

The track is by Mafumafu, who’s also popular as a vocalist, and it was released in 2020.

It’s a mixture rock number built around a four-on-the-floor rhythm that makes your body start moving on its own as you listen.

The sound of the words in the lyrics is insanely good—you’ll want to say them out loud.

The philosophical message about what true justice and evil are really gets to you, too.

The version on YouTube is sung by Mafumafu himself, so be sure to use it as a reference for karaoke.

Let’s clap along and sing! “Strong Wind All Back,” by Vocaloid producer Yukopi, was released in 2023.

The song and its humorous music video became a hot topic and sparked an explosive boom online.

The idea of turning the experience of “your hair getting slicked back on a windy day” directly into music is laugh-out-loud funny.

The bright tone of the recorder is another addictive element.

The highest notes aren’t that high, so especially for women, you might be able to sing it in the original key.

Popular Vocaloid producer DECO*27 is arguably the most well-known Vocaloid P out there.

Among DECO*27’s songs, “Hello Sekai feat.

Hatsune Miku” stands out as particularly easy to sing while still capable of getting the crowd excited.

It’s a lyrically rich piece, and the vocal line falls within the typical range of J-pop.

In fact, the highest note is D#5, which isn’t especially high, so adjusting the key should make it comfortable to sing.

Rather than being a song that gets everyone hyped in a high-energy way, it’s one that can really resonate with people who have strong Vocaloid knowledge.

If you’re planning to go to karaoke with folks from the community, definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Victormei-chan

This is vocalist Mei-chan’s first Vocaloid work.

It’s a song that lets loose a full-throated cry of emotion, and once you hear it, you’ll feel like shouting your heart out too.

The up-tempo, ever-unfolding melodies are endlessly stimulating and exhilarating.

Just like the song itself, the PV keeps shifting from one development to the next—enjoy them together.

This song overwhelms you with a sound arrangement that cuts and splices audio like collage art.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer You-man, released in 2020.

The composition is impressive, of course, but you can also feel incredible taste in every single word choice in the lyrics.

The top recommended point is the chorus: it delivers an exhilarating sense of release that subverts the preceding mood in the best possible way, like your field of vision suddenly opening up.

Why not sing this song yourself and dive headfirst into the world of You-man?

Balloon, a Vocaloid producer who rose to fame with the hit song “Charles,” one of the defining tracks of the late 2010s Vocaloid scene, released “Hana ni Kaze” in 2023.

Known for crafting story-driven music, he portrays a protagonist struggling with love, weaving in a poignant message sung as if to confirm the presence of their beloved.

Listeners can sense a range of emotions from the transparent synth tones and the intertwining, girlish vocals of Hatsune Miku.

From monologue-like spoken passages to a passionate chorus, it’s a Vocaloid track that showcases a wide vocal palette.

I’ll literally knock you out.Pinokio P

PinocchioP – Kick-ASS Literally feat. Hatsune Miku / KICK-ASS *LITERALLY
I'll literally knock you out.Pinokio P

A song by PinocchioP, a VOCALOID producer who’s also active as an illustrator and character designer.

The lyrics feel like they were scrawled straight from raw emotion, blending with a pop melody to create a strangely captivating track.

The melody stays in a high register from start to finish, but it actually flows more slowly than you might imagine when listening, so it should be easy to sing as long as you adjust the karaoke key to suit yourself.

In the pre-chorus, there are rapid-fire lines with little to no breathing room, so taking a quick, deep breath during the breaks in the melody and powering through will help you capture a vibe close to the original.
