[Trend] A Collection of Vocaloid Songs We Used to Listen to a Lot—Nostalgic Picks (31–40)
Romeo and Cinderelladoriko
Released in 2009 by doriko, also known by the alias Kiritan-P, “Romeo and Cinderella” is a song that expresses a woman’s determination to make the man she likes notice her by any means necessary.
The music video, which features slightly sexy illustrations of a woman, also leaves a strong impression.
Musically, the track is full of clever touches that keep it engaging, such as a “beep” right before the chorus that momentarily stops the song for emphasis, and guitar and piano phrases panned left and right.
Another highlight—unusual for a Vocaloid track—is a fast, shredding electric guitar solo.
If you haven’t heard this song yet, be sure to pay attention to the instrumental section when you check it out!
World Is Mineryo
For those who have been watching the Vocaloid scene since its early days, this is an unforgettable work.
Ryo, who is also the composer for the creator unit supercell, released “World is Mine” in May 2008.
It’s a cute and romantic song featuring a selfish girl who says, “Treat me like a princess.” The dynamic band sound meshes perfectly with the mood of the lyrics—it really projects the feelings of the girl.

The Last Confession of the Earthkemu
This song is memorable for its story of an immortal protagonist reflecting on a past love.
It’s a number that fully showcases kemu’s talent, carrying a profound message and strong narrative.
Released in 2012, it features the VOCALOID GUMI.
Through themes of love that transcends time, lingering attachment to the past, and the end of the world, it resonates deeply with listeners.
It’s a recommended track for those who want to savor feelings where nostalgia and bittersweetness intertwine.
melancholicJunky
Melancholic by the Vocaloid producer Junky is a bright yet slightly nostalgic song featuring Kagamine Rin.
Its charm lies in how it refreshingly conveys the feelings of a tsundere girl’s unrequited love through a pop sound that centers on a band setup while effectively using synthesizers.
By the way, this track also became Junky’s first song to surpass one million views back in 2011.
Thanks to its catchy melody, it’s highly recommended for karaoke!
ECHOCrusher-P
Initially performing under the name Childhood Crusher-P and now using a shortened version of that name, the Vocaloid producer CRUSHER-P released ECHO as the second installment of CIRCRUSH, a unit with Circus-P.
The track became their first to hit a million plays.
Its hysteric synth sound and heavy four-on-the-floor beat create an unforgettable impact, and the cool English lyrics perfectly match the song’s atmosphere, making it a stylish Vocaloid number.
