A dance-rock tune with a four-on-the-floor beat and razor-sharp guitars that feels insanely good.
Created by R Sound Design, who has captured the hearts of Vocaloid fans with refined tracks like “Teikoku Shoujo” and “flos,” it was released in April 2023 and is sung by the voice library Ci flower, which was released the same year.
The high-speed progression of the sound sends your mood soaring—it’s like honed, gleaming tones stream right past your eyes.
The lyric “Let’s just dance without thinking” aligns perfectly with the song’s vibe.
If it’s a lovers’ double suicide, then with the snake-woman at the mansionSLAVE V-V-R
While incorporating a touch of Japanese aesthetics, “If We’re to Die Together, Then With the Snake Woman in the Manor” is also a must-listen for its exotic worldview.
This track, produced by SLAVE.V-V-R, unfolds a story like none you’ve seen before.
Its premise features a snake that has become a spirit and takes human form, and parts of the lyrics are sung in “snake language.” The subtitles reveal what’s being said, so be sure to check out the music video.
Also, pay close attention to how the story ends.

The riffs and phrases are fantastic; if you can play guitar, you’ll probably want to try them yourself.
The humorous, cat-themed lyrics are another highlight of its worldbuilding.

This is a Vocaloid track with a delightfully crisp tone that makes you want to start dancing.
It’s by the Vocaloid producer Kuritanika, who also created “Apollo” and “Tarante La Musica,” and it was released in June 2023.
If you’re into dance rock, this is a must-listen.
The flow and rhythm of the lyrics feel incredibly satisfying.
And the standout feature of this work is that it’s sung by VOICEVOX Kasukabe Tsumugi.
Since VOICEVOX is software that reads out typed text, it doesn’t actually have a “singing” function.
You can really see Kuritanika’s technical prowess.

The lyrics trace Ayano’s emotions, and if you know the story, they’ll hit hard.
By the way, it’s included on the album Mekakucity Reload, released the same year.
