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.
Let’s meet the adorable Hatsune Miku once more!
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.
This is the Happiness Assurance Committee.utatata P
A futuristic track draped in nostalgia.
Utata-P’s work resonates deeply with listeners.
Its dystopian worldview and electronic sound are a perfect match.
Released in June 2012, it quickly became popular.
Its compelling message invites reflection on what happiness and freedom truly mean.
Ideal for those who question modern society or are interested in Vocaloid culture.
It’s sure to leave something with your heart.
Electric AngelYasuo P
Combining a driving rhythm with a wistful melodic line, this is Yasuo-P’s “Electric Angel.” Hatsune Miku’s voice library was released on August 31, 2007, and the short version of this song was uploaded on October 1, 2007.
Although it’s no longer available to listen to now, another version had been released even before that—meaning this is one of the works that truly helped shape the very beginning of the Vocaloid scene.
Listening to it not only brings back the excitement around Vocaloid but also evokes the broader internet boom centered on Nico Nico Douga.
