Tondemo Wonderssasakure.UK
Also known as Sasakure-P, sasakure.UK is a Vocaloid producer highly acclaimed for works that fuse a sci-fi- and fable-focused worldview with chiptune-style sounds.
This track was written for the unit Wonderlands×Showtime in the mobile game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.
Hatsune Miku,” and is also known as a hit that reached Hall of Fame status about 4 days and 4 hours after its upload.
The piano melody that amps you up from the intro and the driving beat are truly addictive.
It’s a number that lets you feel the comfort of piano sounds, with superb phrases that color the melody.
I wish the seasons wouldn’t turn.Nakase Miru
An emotional piece where sensitive feelings are conveyed through a fleeting melody.
Showcasing Miru Nakase’s delicate musicality and keen sensibility, this work was released in August 2023.
Its avant-garde sound, rooted in electronica, blends beautifully with Uramei’s whispery vocals.
The lyrics overlay a sense of loneliness onto the changing seasons.
It’s especially resonant on contemplative nights or when your heart feels a little tired.
The VOCALOIDs just keep repeating two chords.GYARI
A song by GYARI, a Vocaloid producer who also works under the name Cocoa Cigarette P on Niconico.
As the title suggests, it’s a simple composition that progresses with only two chords for much of the piece, yet its rapidly shifting moods keep it from ever feeling monotonous.
Despite being over 20 minutes long, it has achieved Hall of Fame status, which speaks to its high level of craftsmanship.
It’s an engaging, never-boring number that showcases the piano’s expressive range across any style.
Torinoko City40mP
The bittersweet yet warm song Torino City, in which a technical piano overlays a rock band sound, was released by 40mP in 2011.
Perhaps you’ve had moments of wondering, “Am I the only one being left behind in this world?” The gentle piano resonates as if to stay close to the hearts of people who feel that way.
The staccato in the vocals is incredibly pleasing, and its synergy with the backing band is outstanding.
The performance evokes jazz piano, and the refined composition reminds you that you are not alone in this world.
Envy BabyKanaria
A Vocaloid producer, Kanaria, who began activities in 2020 and drew attention after the second track “KING” achieved a million sales.
The thoroughly crafted worldbuilding—felt in the medieval European-inspired lyrics and musical style—is outstanding.
The piano, which creates a mysterious atmosphere, colors the entire piece with a melody that is at times lyrical and at times tight in its phrasing.
With a piano sound that offers both depth and expansiveness shaping the overall mood, this is a short yet compelling Vocaloid number.
Umbrellas and RainMachigerīta P
This is a song by Aoki Lapis released in 2012.
True to its label as “depressing piano,” the piece stokes a sense of fear right from the introductory piano, to the point that people with fragile mental states might want to run away.
Both the lyrics and the piano are extremely heavy—it’s a yandere song that keeps you on edge until the very end.
It’s there properly.Kasamura Tōta
In music production, great emphasis is placed on VOCALOID tuning, and the breath-like expressiveness that results has earned support for the Vocalo-P, Tota Kasamura.
The depth of the piano sound—reflecting the creator’s background of playing piano since childhood and a fondness for ballads—enriches the world of the lyrics and melody.
The dynamics in the chorus create ebb and flow in the track, giving the sense of being encouraged by its powerful message.
Despite being arranged solely for voice and piano throughout, its dramatic arrangement makes this a stirring VOCALOID number.
