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!

Summer Ice Fade-Outsoshina

Comedian duo Shimofuri Myojo’s member and also active as a Vocaloid producer, Soshina, presents his summer love song “Summer Ice Fade Out.” Set in summer, the piece portrays the passage of time through melting ice that disappears.

You could also interpret it as syncing the ice with a fleeting summer romance.

Listen closely and try analyzing the lyrics yourself—and then sing it with feeling.

It’s a very cool Vocaloid track that pulls you in with its release-cut piano riff and slap-style bassline.

It’s one of producer Tachisu Kanna’s signature songs, released in 2020.

The sound is so sharp and refined—you can’t help but call it “razor-edged.” It’s insanely cool! Crank the volume and prepare to hit repeat.

The philosophical lyrics, which depict the frustration of not getting your feelings across, are another hook.

The original key is on the higher side, so it’s relatively hard to sing, but nailing the chorus feels absolutely incredible.

Try adjusting the key on your karaoke machine and give it a go!
