A stylish, cool, and insanely addictive Vocaloid tune.

It’s a track by Shishi Shishi, the hitmaker behind songs like “Eien Hanahadashii” and “Taimanaku Aiiro,” released in August 2023.

The relentless, never-stopping drive of the song is irresistible.

The shift into a hip-hop vibe midway is another highlight.

Miku’s slightly noisy vocal texture meshes perfectly with the sound.

It’s a pop guitar rock tune that charges in from the intro.

Released in 2011 under the Vocaloid producer name Ishifuro by Asahi, who also plays guitar in the band Necry Talkie.

It’s said to have been inspired by the Twitter handle of someone he followed: “Yurufuwa Jukai Girl.” The distorted guitars and powerful drums are wildly cool! It’s a high-energy Vocalo-rock track with slightly negative lyrics you can’t help but relate to.

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.
