BeyondManmes
It’s a chill dance tune that makes you want to snap your fingers to the rhythm.
Created by Vocaloid producer Manmes and released in 2021.
If you like city pop, this will definitely hit the spot! The spacious synth sound and Len’s laid-back vocals are irresistible.
The funky bassline that occasionally steps forward is another highlight.
The romantic, space-themed lyrics are wonderful as well.
Perfect for listening at night while gazing at the cityscape!
Fantasy Old Streetasa
Gensou Rojie stands out for its cool, live-performance energy and power.
Its composer, Asa, is a musician also known as the bassist for Wagakki Band, a group that performs rock using traditional Japanese instruments.
Since 2012, he has also been active solo as a Vocaloid producer, and his tracks are characterized by high quality befitting a musician well-versed in band sounds.
Gensou Rojie is also memorable for its lyrics, sprinkled with a deliberately jumbled sense of the seasons, so be sure to immerse yourself in its unique world!
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.
You’re such an idiot, I can’t stand it.tou kasa
A cool Vocaloid track where release-cut piano and guitar intertwine.
Created by Touka-sa, a popular Vocaloid producer known for “CatDog” and “White Spring,” it was released in 2022.
KAFU’s mature vocals match the sultry sound, and while the song is rhythmic throughout, it leaves a chic impression at the end.
The lyrics, themed around “irritation,” are startlingly sharp, making you wonder if people might be thinking that way about you, too.
Sweet ValentineEO
If you’re looking for a track with a mature vibe, “Sweet Valentine” is a great pick.
It’s a song by EO, a Vocaloid producer who debuted in 2020 with “Screams,” and it was also included on the 17th anniversary album from KARENT, the largest Vocaloid label.
The acoustic guitar in the intro and the piano in the accompaniment sound classy, creating the perfect mood for an adult Valentine’s.
It pairs wonderfully with bitter chocolate, too, so let it elevate your Valentine’s spirit!
