Heavenly Musicyūyu
Wagakki Band’s cover version is cool too, isn’t it? It’s a hard rock number by the Vocaloid producer Yuuyu, also known as the creator of “Deep Sea Girl,” released in August 2009.
The fiercely distorted guitar sound, the surging bass, and the powerful drum work are all compelling.
Rin Kagamine’s vocals layered on top have a touch of sensuality, and as you listen, you get drawn into the world of the song.
The explosive power of the chorus is top-notch! It might not be an exaggeration to call it one of the pinnacles of Vocaloid rock.

Please give this mature, Japanese-style Vocaloid song a listen.

As you listen, the scenes come to life—and it can really bring you to tears.
The song’s worldview pairs perfectly with the arrangement, which incorporates the tones of traditional Japanese instruments.

Double LariatAgo Aniki P
“Double Lariat” is a song by Agoaniki-P, memorable for its surreal MV in which the Vocaloid character Megurine Luka just keeps spinning.
The lyrics talk about “the range your hands can reach” and “flying around,” and if you listen from the perspective that it’s a metaphor for the scope of what you can do—and for expanding that scope as you pursue your dreams—it all makes sense.
Of course, there seem to be many other possible interpretations as well.
