I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.
Music writer / guitarist / Certified web writing practitionerHoshino Takashi
Drawing on over 30 years of experience with guitars and bands since my high school days, I specialize in music-related articles and have handled many feature pieces to date. While my tastes lean toward genres like hard rock and heavy metal since I first picked up the guitar, I make a point of listening to a wide range of styles, both Japanese and Western, on a daily basis. I began working as a freelance writer in 2018. I hold a Web Writing Practical Certification, and in addition to writing, I’m also studying video editing. In my private life, I’m raising an elementary school child and stay active while supporting their extracurriculars, such as parkour and dance.

Vocaloid, a synthetic voice technology that often carries a cutting-edge image, actually dates back to 2007 with the release of Hatsune Miku.

When you think about it that way, quite a bit of time has passed since the scene first took shape.

There’s even a term for the generation that has been listening to Vocaloid songs since childhood: the “native Vocaloid generation.” In this article, we’ve put together a collection with the theme of “nostalgic Vocaloid songs”! It may especially resonate with those who “used to listen to Vocaloid a lot back in the day.” Let’s unravel the history of Vocaloid together!

Miracle PaintOSTER project

This is a big band jazz-style Vocaloid song that’s sure to put a smile on your face with its bright vibe! Created by OSTER project, also known under the name Fluffy Cinnamon, it was released in November 2007.

The piece is filled with gratitude for a friend who drew the illustrations, and its happy mood shines through both the arrangement and the lyrics.

The walking bass and light, sprightly piano really get you grooving.

At the time, the technique of having Hatsune Miku scat was also an unusual approach to tuning.

This song is by sasakure.UK, one of the leading Vocaloid producers who has continued to be active at the forefront of the Vocaloid scene and has also worked on pieces like “Tondemo Wonders” and “Future Eve.” It was released in February 2009.

The work is characterized by its unpredictable song structure and avant-garde sound that incorporates chiptune.

Even back then, it already had that distinct “sasakure.UK sound,” which is great.

Even now, long after its release, it still feels “new.” A remake version was uploaded in 2019, so if you haven’t heard it yet, definitely check it out!
