I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

There are various coined terms in the Vocaloid scene, and among them, Vocaloid rock songs are written as “VOCAROCK.” In this article, I’ve put together a selection of popular VOCAROCK tracks.

From timeless classics to newer releases, it’s a well-rounded lineup.

So I can confidently say it’ll resonate with both rock fans and Vocaloid fans! If you read through to the end, you might just catch a glimpse of the history of rock in the Vocaloid world.

Be sure to find your new favorite track!

Dust; desperately and recklesslyYuri Kuriyama

Waste, Recklessly / Flower & Kasane Teto SV

Waste; Yūri Kuriyama at all costs

This is a work released by Yuri Kuriyama—an artist who captivates fans with a wide range of sounds—in July 2025.

The piece weaves together self-denial, encapsulated in the feeling of “I’m worthless,” with a powerful impulse that says, “Even so, I have no choice but to charge forward.” Its painfully realistic inner struggle fuses beautifully with a driving rock sound.

Many listeners will be drawn to its aggressive sonic character.

When you’re tormented by a sense of helplessness, it will surely knock powerfully on your heart.

Sleep, Cotton Candy / Hifumi feat. Kanade Kanon β

Sleep, Cotton Candy Hifumi

Hifumi, a Vocaloid producer known for many rock-style tracks.

His “Nemure Watagashi” is a song that conveys the feelings of a woman who just can’t fall asleep, set to a Japanese-style sound.

As you listen, the structure gradually reveals why she can’t sleep.

It’s also fun how it incorporates relatable details like “being bothered by the sound of cars driving outside” and “the sky starting to get light outside.” They’re points anyone can relate to and nod along with.

Post-Zunda Rock: The World’s Power

A sophisticated piece of post-rock and poetry reading that you might not expect from the title.

It’s a work by the Vocaloid producer World Electric, released in 2022, and it was their entry for the event “Mushoku Tōmei-sai” held the same year.

The floating guitar arpeggios and understated drumming feel incredibly good.

And the final development is wildly emotional! Crank it up loud and you’ll surely feel your heart surge with emotion.

I’m not mentally unstable!whale

[MV] I'm Not a Menhera! / Isana feat. Hatsune Miku & Otomachi Una

I'm not mentally unstable! Isana

This is the sixth work by Vocaloid producer Isana and a breakout hit in the Vocaloid scene.

It’s an addictive track that fuses cute lyrics and melodies with a heavy rock sound.

The arrangement in the pre-chorus, where a characteristically rapid-fire Vocaloid melody blends with rock’s sense of speed, is truly worthy of the name “VOCAROCK.” What’s more, the series of sudden turns—from the high-speed pre-chorus into a meter change that flows into a poppy chorus—should provide plenty of excitement for rock fans.
