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!

The lyrics—“Shed your current self and become someone new”—are stirring and ignite a fighting spirit.

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.
