Unknown Mother Goosewowaka
The Vocaloid track that wowaka released for the first time in about six years is filled with a charm that resonates deeply with people’s hearts.
The lyrics, which question love, loneliness, and the meaning of existence, seem to awaken the “story no one knows” hidden within each listener.
Characterized by its rapid tempo and relentless phrasing, the song was included in the 10th anniversary Hatsune Miku compilation album “Re:Start” in August 2017.
The track, which became wowaka’s final work after his sudden passing in 2019, went on to surpass 10 million views on Niconico.
It’s a perfect song for those struggling with self-expression or seeking to unleash the emotions buried deep inside through music.
Exploding Brain Girlrereriri
Despite its seemingly pop and cute melody, this song is distinguished by lyrics imbued with deep meaning.
Delving into themes such as social pressure, inner conflict, and the absurdity of reality, it possesses a depth that allows each listener to form their own interpretation.
Since its release on Niconico in 2012, it has enjoyed great popularity, surpassing 1.5 million views in just five months, and it was even adapted into a live-action film in December 2015.
Known as one of rerulili’s signature works, this piece captivates many with its addictive melody and lyrics that defy simple interpretation—truly a track worthy of being called a Vocaloid number.
slow motionPinokio P
It’s a song that teaches us to accept life’s changes and how important that is.

Karakuri Pierrot40mP
A song whose bittersweet lyrics and catchy melody resonate with the heart.
The expression that likens the pain of heartbreak and self-loathing to a “clockwork clown” is striking, and it grips listeners and won’t let go.
Released in 2011 as one of 40mP’s signature works, it drew major attention, including over 40 million views on YouTube.
It was also included on the major second album, “My Small Self and the Big World.” A coming-of-age track that stays close to those carrying the sting of romantic failure and a sense of loss.
It’s also a great choice for karaoke.
Lost Time Memoryjin
One of the songs from Jin’s Kagerou Project series, released in March 2013.
It portrays, in a straightforward way, the protagonist’s regret and sense of loss after losing someone important, powerfully conveying the aching feeling of repeatedly looking back and thinking, “If only I had made a different choice back then.” The guitar rock sound is also striking, starting quietly and then exploding in the intro.
It’s a piece that stays close to those who are trying to move forward while carrying memories of someone dear.
Panda Herohachi
It’s a track with a distinctive worldview and an addictive melody.
Set in a city that feels like ruins, it unfolds a story about a panda hero wielding a metal bat.
It skillfully portrays the darkness of society and the inner conflicts lurking within people.
This song is a rock arrangement of a track from Kenshi Yonezu’s second album under the name Hachi, “OFFICIAL ORANGE,” and as one of his signature works from his Vocaloid producer era, it earned strong support from many listeners.
It may be the perfect song for times when you want to escape reality or when you feel out of sync with the world.
EveR ∞ LastinG ∞ NighTHitoshizuku P × Yama △
This is the final installment of the “Night ∞” series, released in 2014.
Created by Hitoshizuku and Yama△, its greatest appeal is the grand story woven by eight VOCALOIDs.
You’ll be drawn into the mysteries and truths that unfold in a Western-style mansion.
The unsettling tones of the organ and strings are also memorable, making it feel almost like watching a musical.
Highly recommended for those who love a gothic atmosphere.
