[Carefully Selected] Hidden Vocaloid Masterpieces (31–40)
AgarueTakoyakiKZY
It’s a sharp, mix-driven rock tune that reveals a decadent worldview.
Created by Vocaloid producer TakoyakiKZY—also known for the hit “Reika”—it was released in 2022.
The sounds are incredibly satisfying, from the sci-fi-tinged synth leads to the guitar cutting and slap bass.
Before you know it, you’ll be swaying, snapping your fingers, and locking into the groove.
And the emotional guitar solo in the outro is absolutely outstanding—so make sure you listen all the way to the end!
A life of meat lumps, by meat lumps, for meat lumpsHarukawa at the edge
It feels like everything is packed into the title.
It’s a work by Vocaloid producer Hashikawa Hashikko, released in 2022.
Super pop, very catchy, the lyrics are a love song—and then there’s this title.
When you listen, your emotions strangely get all jumbled, and you end up reflecting on all sorts of things.
What kind of person is the protagonist who describes humans as “chunks of meat”? Or maybe it’s uncouth to even ponder that… It grabs your heart and won’t let go.
DaammmmmnnnnnnPIPPO
The rhythm is striking, as if it’s walking forward slowly and steadily, step by step.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer PIPPO, released in 2020.
Built on a band sound, the piece unfolds with a dynamically resonant piano tone that lingers in the heart.
Despite its warm musical mood, the lyrics are pessimistic.
Singing about an unreachable future over a catchy melody—the combination, that gap, really gets you.
It might even prompt you to reflect on your own life.
Alter 17Puhyuneco
Why is it that the more I listen, the more I feel like crying? This track by Puhyuneco, a Vocaloid producer known for highly artistic works, was released in 2019.
From an opening that carries a subtly oriental atmosphere, the sound gradually spreads as if slowly melting.
The ambient soundscape is so well-crafted that it feels almost philosophical in meaning.
Surrender yourself to the sonic imagery that stirs the emotions sleeping deep within your heart.
In conclusion
I think every one of them was a highly sophisticated track.
