[Carefully Selected] A Special Feature on Hidden Vocaloid Masterpieces
Musicians who started as Vocaloid producers—like Kenshi Yonezu, Ayase, and Eve—have been doing amazingly well lately, haven’t they? They’re always near the top of the Japanese music charts.
In this article, we’d like to introduce some hidden Vocaloid gems.
It’s perfect for anyone looking for music they haven’t encountered before! We’re using the phrase “hidden gems,” which basically means “songs that deserve much more recognition.” This is a playlist our editorial team confidently recommends!
