[Trend] A Collection of Vocaloid Songs We Used to Listen to—Nostalgic Picks (71–80)
Hello/How are you?Nanou
This song is sure to resonate when you face feelings that only you can truly understand—your honest, innermost thoughts.
It’s a track by Nanou, a Vocaloid producer also known as Hoehoe-P.
With a mid-tempo pace that feels as if it’s matching your walking speed, the sound carries a sense of warmth.
The gentleness of the vocals is likely one reason it feels that way.
In the course of social life, there are true feelings that are hard to tell others and impossible to put into words.
I believe this song will clear away the tightness caught in your throat.
CendrillonSignal P
You can’t help but listen, enchanted by the romantic atmosphere.
This song, by Vocaloid producer Signal-P—also known for “Rin Rin Signal” and “Adolescence”—was released in 2008.
Its strong narrative lyrics and the duet by Hatsune Miku and KAITO are the song’s biggest draws, evoking a thrilling, heart-pounding tension and a bittersweet love story.
In 2018, ten years after its debut, an anniversary version was released.
Be sure to listen to it alongside the original.
Online Game Addict SprechchorSatsuki galore
A Vocaloid track born from the internet age, sung over a drum’n’bass beat about the lifestyle of an online gaming addict.
It’s a signature work by Vocaloid producer Satsuki ga Tenkomori, released in October 2010.
A rearranged version was published in 2022 and drew attention.
It’s got a strong “hardcore grinder” vibe—real, in a way—and if you’ve been into PC gaming for a long time, you might find parts of the lyrics particularly relatable.
Love wordsDECO*27
It’s a catchy and pop message song that colors a band sound with lively, chiptune-style synths! It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to introduce DECO*27 as a composer for whom “every song released is a hit,” with works like “Mosaic Roll,” “Hibana,” and “Vampire.” This track was released in July 2009.
While the title and lyrics are crafted like a love song, in truth it’s a song of gratitude from DECO*27 to the fans who listen to his work.
The warm atmosphere that comes through the whole track really fills your heart with comfort.
clock lock worksBee
“Clock Lock Works” is a work released under the name Hachi, the Vocaloid producer alias of Kenshi Yonezu, a singer-songwriter active at the top of the Japanese music scene.
Published in November 2009, its whimsical, fantastical world instantly captured listeners’ hearts and quickly joined the ranks of popular songs.
Beyond the track itself, the animated music video by Minakata Laboratory also drew attention.
In the chorus, Miku playing the bass moves incredibly smoothly.
It has the feel of a nursery rhyme with a hint of darkness, a quality that connects to Yonezu’s current style.
Chill, fluffy Sea-of-Trees girlstone bath
“Yurufuwa Jukai Girl” is a smash hit by Ishifuro, released in October 2011.
Its appeal lies in the gap between the catchy melody and the slightly negative-leaning lyrics.
Sharply portraying the feelings of young people, it resonated with many Vocaloid fans.
This track is also included on the album “Teenage Nekra Pop.” It’s a song we especially recommend to anyone who feels stifled by everyday life.
Ordinary World ConquestPinocchioP
PinocchioP is a Vocaloid producer who creates songs with unique themes and has many signature tracks.
Active since the late 2000s in the early days of Vocaloid, he produced the 2012 song “Arifureta Sekai Seifuku.” It resonates with a sound where electro synths intertwine with passionate guitar riffs.
The song is themed around students in a school classroom, and its message—addressed to a “someone” who exists somewhere—is striking.
It’s a Vocaloid track that conveys emotion through Hatsune Miku’s somewhat wistful vocals, which compellingly express a sense of frustration.
