Farewell / Hatsune Miku

The scent of fragrant olive drifts softly through the air, bringing on a faintly wistful feeling of autumn.

This is a song that slips seamlessly into that atmosphere.

Created by Ahab, its refreshing yet lonely rock sound is captivating.

Alongside scenes like clear autumn skies and red spider lilies comes a sense of impending farewell with someone important.

Still, it doesn’t feel merely sad; it carries a warm prayer for the other person’s future.

If you like it, be sure to listen to the self-cover version as well.

Rapid Tune / DIVELA feat. Hatsune Miku

An emotional rock tune that sweeps you away with a breathless sense of speed.

Created by the Vocaloid producer DIVELA, known for works like “Vocalo Colosseum,” it was released in August 2025.

The intense sound pairs perfectly with Miku’s dignified vocals.

The lyrics convey the protagonist’s strong resolve to sprint toward the light despite inner turmoil.

Be sure to immerse yourself in its world!

Me vs the WorldOmoi

Me vs. the World / Hatsune Miku

An emotional rock piece that overwhelms you with the powerful presence of guitars and synths.

Created by the musical unit Omoi, it was released in August 2025.

This work is a “song of rebuttal,” crying out a steadfast will: even if the whole world becomes your enemy, I alone will never give up.

The protagonist’s resolve to stand alone for “you,” refusing to yield to loneliness or injustice, is deeply moving.

Give it a listen when you feel an inescapable sense of stagnation or a surge of defiance against society.

Elegy for an Absolute Old FriendRo2noki

Absolute Old-Friend Elegy / Kasane Teto & Yokune Ruko (♀)

An emotional track with an irresistible interplay between two voices and a bittersweet melody.

It portrays the lingering feelings and helplessness toward a dear friend who’s gone.

While looking back on an irretrievable past, there’s an impossible-to-shake wish to meet again somewhere… These complex emotions are carried by a nostalgic band sound.

The song is a work by Vocaloid producer Ro2noki, released in August 2025.

I think it’s a Vocaloid track that perfectly fits a sentimental mood.

Vivid Violencerushino

Vivid Violence feat. Hatsune Miku / “Vivid Violence” ft. Hatsune Miku

This is a work by Vocaloid producer Rucino.

It was reportedly sparked by a friend’s comment, “Why don’t you make regular J-pop too?” but it ultimately turned into a thrilling rock tune bursting with his signature personality.

It carries a message that powerfully pushes listeners forward: “Don’t imitate—fight with originality.” The sound—featuring explosive rapid-fire lines on the so-called ‘mock programmed guitar’—perfectly matches a worldview that screams, “Slam your own color onto the canvas.” If you’re looking to find your own form of expression, this song is sure to set your heart ablaze.
