[Latest & Classics] Rock Vocaloid Song Showcase [VOCAROCK] (121–130)
rollerkairiki bea
This work was born from Raison d’être, a project to create songs based on legendary creatures illustrated by Nou, an illustrator.
The track was composed by Kairiki Bear, the composer behind numerous hit songs such as “Darling Dance” and “Venom,” and was released in June 2023.
The theme is the familiar “werewolf” from board games, and the lyrics are filled with words that evoke that image.
The distorted chorus is particularly striking, sonically expressing a chaotic space of deception and being deceived.
KingslayerMaiki P
Maiki-P, a former member of YouTuber Takeyaki Sho’s unit Ratrat and an artist active not only as a Vocaloid producer but also as a singer-songwriter and drummer, showcases his diverse talents.
His original track “Kingslayer,” released in 2023, features aggressive lyrics and an intense sound that makes for a refreshing, exhilarating listen.
It’s also highly recommended for those choosing songs for ‘utaite’ cover videos, so be sure to give it a try!
It’s damp.Shikiura Sōgo
Sogu Shikiura, who delivers numerous songs themed around the real-life love and daily lives of young people.
His 2023 work “Damp, Isn’t It?” paints a sultry portrait of two lovers.
Opening with spoken phrases by Utaai Yuki, the sound heats up as a passionate guitar riff kicks in.
Set against the sweltering heat of summer, the slightly thrilling worldview woven into the lyrics adds a palpable tension.
It’s a track where Utaai Yuki’s girlish vocals, carried by a driving, rhythmic band performance, convey the ache of a bittersweet love.
desire for leewayInabakumo
This Vocaloid song exquisitely blends a sense of floating and tension.
“Yoyuyoku” by Inabakumori, an artist known for numerous popular releases, was unveiled in October 2023 and quickly became a hot topic.
It uses Yamaha Corporation’s voicebank “nagiβ,” whose calm, placid tone—true to its name—leaves a strong impression.
It fits perfectly with the understated mood of the sound and melody.
The lyrics, which depict the gap between “having leeway” and “having none,” invite reflection on ways of living.
The more you listen closely, the deeper its flavor becomes.
As expectedInabakumo
This is a Vocaloid rock track that balances coolness with a touch of ennui.
Created by Inabakumori—also known for the smash hit “Lagtrain”—it was released in June 2023.
That same month, it was featured as a demo song for the VOCALOID6 Voicebank AI “Otomachi Una.” The theme of “surpassing your past self” is expressed in words that are very characteristic of Inabakumori, and I think it will especially resonate with Vocaloid producers and anyone who loves making things.
It’s also a song that really brings out Otomachi Una’s solid, distinctive vocals.
Love Trial40mP
A light, stylish rock tune themed around romantic troubles.
It’s one of the signature songs by 40mP, a Vocaloid producer known for many classic tracks, released in 2014.
If you follow just the storyline, you’ll see a setup where a cheating protagonist is judged by his girlfriend.
But perhaps… that might actually be part of her plan.
The true intent becomes clear in the final chorus, so be sure to listen to the end.
It’s an endlessly cute piece that lets you enjoy both the music itself and its narrative.
