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!

Pierrot – KEI feat. Hatsune Miku

clownkei

It’s a bittersweet yet warm song that portrays the inner world of a circus clown.

Composed by KEI, it was released in June 2010.

The lively tempo and rock-tinged sound are striking.

And the depiction in the lyrics—of a clown who, through his interactions with a young girl in the audience, gradually regains his true self—is deeply moving.

The kindness conveyed through straightforward words is truly wonderful.

I think it’s a song that especially resonates when your heart is tired.

Parameter40mP

This is a bittersweet Vocaloid song that portrays people bound by the quantified evaluations of modern society.

Created by 40mP, who has long been active at the forefront of the Vocaloid scene, it was released in November 2011.

It features a breezy, pop-influenced melody line; however, the message woven into the lyrics runs deep and resonates with listeners.

The track was also included on the compilation album “EXIT TUNES PRESENTS Vocalodream feat.

Hatsune Miku.” It’s perfect for times when you want to reflect on your own worth and reason for being.

Hoehoe-P, a Vocaloid producer known for signature songs like “Hello/How Are You,” created “Asayake, Kimi no Uta” in 2009—a rock number that gained popularity in the early Vocaloid scene.

It portrays moments when feelings overflow for someone special, singing of a bittersweet longing that warms the heart.

The passionate band performance driven by a four-on-the-floor beat conveys raw emotion, and together with lyrics that evoke vivid scenes, Hatsune Miku’s vocals gently resonate as a moving Vocaloid track.

A captivating track featuring a distinctive electronica-based sound and profound lyrics.

Released by Sasanomaly in 2011, the song has continued to be loved over the years, with new versions produced since.

It explores inner conflicts such as oppression in human relationships and the loss of self, creating a deeply resonant experience.

It’s a piece especially recommended for those who tend to suppress their feelings or struggle with maintaining the right distance in friendships.

Take the time to savor it once again.
