We recommend listening with headphones or earphones! This track by GESO, a Vocaloid producer who drew attention at BokaColle 2022 Autumn, was released in July 2021.
You’ll be overwhelmed by the dynamic sound arrangement, as if a thick curtain of sound is spreading out before you.
Just when a crisp timbre rings out, a siren-like synth comes in, and over it layers GUMI’s delicate, fleeting vocals… It has a depth that’s hard to put into words.
The more you listen, the more charms you’re sure to discover!
episode FlowerA_II
An alternative rock number that draws you in with jagged, distorted guitar sounds and a speedy beat.
Created by Vocaloid producer A_II, known for their edgy musical style, it was released in 2021.
Despite the sharp sound design, it has a sense of weightlessness, likely thanks to the vocal work that leaves large gaps, almost like a round.
In the latter half, it shifts into a section where ambient piano resonates.
In the final chorus, be sure to pay attention to the breaths as well.

A love that vanished somewhere before I even noticed.
This is a Vocaloid song that reveals a bittersweet story about the end of a romance.
Created by Vocaloid producer Hanade-dera and released in 2021, it’s a ballad marked by a gently resonant piano tone.
The overall mood feels warm, but when you lower your gaze to the story told in the lyrics… the contrast tightens your chest.
Miku’s clear, translucent voice also seems to carry a feeling akin to resignation.
It might be the companion you need to soothe the sorrow of your heartbreak.

The crisp, taut sound arrangement leaves a strong impression—“hard-edged” feels like the perfect word.
Even the snare’s airy snap is satisfying and addictive.
And KAFU’s singing makes you think, “So she can produce this kind of voice too.” The lyrics, which assert the legitimacy of living while hiding your true self, are highly relatable.
Pure-White MemoriesIdo Remone.
This is a sophisticated work that unfolds dramatically from a poetry reading.
It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Lemon Ido, released in 2022.
The composition is built around a foundational rhythm pattern from which the sounds expand outward.
It incorporates various musical elements such as EDM, leaving quite a deep impression.
You can also see Lemon Ido’s brilliance in the way the poetry reading is fitted into the rhythm and established as a single vocal phrase.

Nawa ni Kamareta unfolds with an unpredictable, irregular rhythm.
Created in 2021 by Vocaloid producer Fugnika, who not only writes and composes but also produces the videos.
Featuring the androgynous vocals of flower, who freely delivers lyrics depicting inner anxiety and conflict.
The singing resonates deeply—mechanical yet tinged with a certain poignancy and loneliness.
This Vocaloid track is packed with charm, from the synths and bass that deliver aggressive performances in step with the song’s development to its overall sound design.
Immerse yourself in a worldview that feels suspended between fantasy and reality.
404 Ressentiment GirlMINO-U
If you’re looking for a highly addictive track, this is it! Composed by MINO-U, a Vocaloid producer also known as the creator of “Starry Sky Chronograph,” this song was released in 2022.
It’s a cute, fast-paced four-on-the-floor tune.
The groove is irresistibly catchy, and the chorus hits with explosive power! The rhythm drop in the pre-chorus lands with weight and sounds incredibly cool.
There’s even a touch of jazz in the interlude, making it a track packed with treats from start to finish.
Add it to your playlist for those moments when you want to boost your energy!
