[Latest & Essential] Rock Vocaloid Songs Special [VOCAROCK] (151–160)
listAsai Umi
A piano rock number that blends a sense of speed with bittersweet emotion, evoking the end of summer.
“List,” produced by Vocaloid creator Asai Umi, was released in 2019.
Its powerful yet fragile band sound is deeply moving.
Pay special attention to Una’s high-tone vocals in the chorus—they’re one of the elements that amplify the song’s momentum.
Caught up in the protagonist’s wish to “see someone important,” I can’t help but transpose it onto my own feelings as I listen.
Turn up the volume and enjoy.
Caligula on the G Stringnanaemu
Be sure to check out this stylish, razor-sharp rock number.
Nana-M, a group formed by characters from the YouTube channel “Tsukareta Ore to Kurokami Shinrei Soudansho,” which features animated videos, released “Caligula on the Battlefield G” in July 2023 under that name.
Its addictive sound arrangement, with a subtly mature vibe, is a major draw.
Unpredictable song developments are another highlight—it’s a cool, electrifying Vocaloid track!
Your songichi ni san
Vocaloid producer Hifumi, known for hit songs like “Hana ga Ochita no de,” “Moudoku ga Osou,” and “Yokuyoku,” released “Anata no Uta” in 2023.
It’s an up-tempo number featuring a captivating Japanese-style melody and sound.
The lyrics poignantly depict a woman who can’t handle alcohol becoming intoxicated by love.
When she isn’t noticed, she longs to be chosen; yet when she finally is, she suddenly feels afraid.
That emotional nuance feels so real and utterly absorbing.
Ghostly glow, the flicker of 1/fUbanaroku
A rock tune that fuses wistfulness with fiery passion, piercing straight to the heart.
“Yuko, 1/f no Yurameki,” produced by Vocaloid P Uhahana Roku, was released in August 2023 and was written as an image song for Leo/need, a unit from the smartphone game “Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! feat.
Hatsune Miku.” Miku’s somewhat melancholic vocals over an emotional band sound leave a strong impression.
You can enjoy it in the context of Leo/need’s story and relationships, of course, but even as a standalone track with a clear message, it’s a song that will especially resonate with listeners in their teens.
Sayonara ChainsawWada Takeaki
From the very first guitar riff, your excitement skyrockets—this is an upbeat, high-energy rock track! Composed by Takeaki Wada, aka Kurage-P, it was released in 2012 and included on the compilation album themed around “weapons,” Shoujo Sensou | ARMS.
There’s just something about that powerful, razor-sharp band sound that sets your heart on fire! Yuzuki Yukari’s strong, centered vocals are another big draw.
It’s a highly addictive Vocaloid song that makes you want to crank the volume, feel the rhythm with your whole body, and just lose yourself in it!
overkillNatsuyama Yotsugi
A high-speed, irresistibly addictive Vocalo-rock track.
It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Yotsugi Natsuyama, released in August 2023.
It participated in the VOCALOID Collection 2023 Summer TOP 100 ranking.
“Stylish” feels like the perfect word for its vibe! The way the band sound and staccato-release piano drive the rapid-fire progression is insanely cool.
Miku’s slightly husky vocals fit the tone perfectly.
Great for when you want to boost your mood or sharpen your focus.

Lost UmbrellaInabakumo
A blend of ennui and coolness—once it hooks you, you can’t escape—this is irresistible Vocalo-rock.
It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Inabakumori, who won over overseas Vocaloid fans with the smash hit “Lagtrain,” and it was released in 2018.
Despite its sense of speed, it feels different from an upper-tune, likely thanks to the understated melody and Yuki’s whispery vocals.
And the arrangement—centered on two chords that create a wide dynamic range, as heard in the intro—deserves nothing but admiration for its finesse.
