Illustrator Noh planned a project called “Raison d’être.” In it, artists compose original songs for characters modeled after legendary creatures that Noh has drawn.

For the werewolf-themed character, Vocaloid producer Guchiri created the track “Rapacious.” Since the character is set to belong to a visual-kei band, the sound matches that style.

It’s great how the character’s personality really comes through.

A track by Tsumiki—known for hits like “Phony”—whose style compellingly fuses their own artistry with the fast-paced tempo of Vocaloid.

It was written specifically for the relaunch of the official Hatsune Miku YouTube channel.

While it carries the quintessential Vocaloid vibe as a dance tune, it also evokes imagery reminiscent of Sakanaction.

The lyrics, themed around Vocaloid culture and internet culture, are fired up as well! It’s an easy song to get hyped to, so be sure to sing it together with your fellow Vocaloid fans and amplify the fun!

It’s a mixture rock tune that colors a band sound with crisp, snappy piano phrases.

The track is by popular Vocaloid producer and singer-songwriter Takaaki Natsushiro, released in 2022, and it was chosen as the theme song for the anime “Hanabi-chan Is Often Late.” Its light, lively melody shines over a pop and catchy arrangement.

And the lyric “Let’s go meet a new me” is just wonderful.

If you want to brighten the mood at karaoke, this is the one!

MizanBarūn × Nuyuri

If you want to project a cool image, the Vocaloid song you should sing at karaoke is “Mizan.” It’s a 2022 collaboration by Balloon, a Vocaloid producer who also works under the musician name Keina Suda, and Nuyuri, a Vocaloid producer known for signature tracks like “Lower.” The story-like lyrics, which unfold dramatically, leave a strong impression.

The bittersweet yet beautiful vocals by flower and KASANE Teto spread throughout the track.

The trick is to sing in a conversational tone from the first verse to the pre-chorus, then deliver an emotional vocal in the chorus.

Why not try this urban-tinged uptempo number?
