Meltryo

ryo (supercell) × yanaginagi - Melt 10th ANNIVERSARY MIX

It’s a track produced by ryo, who is also known as a member of the creator collective supercell, and it was released in 2007.

It’s no exaggeration to call it a masterpiece that helped shape today’s Vocaloid scene.

Oddity – Otomachi Una

A song by Komedawara, a Vocaloid producer who also thrives as the composer for the rock band BIN.

The intro layers a thick, heavy riff with a wah-infused guitar phrase—enough to get any rock fan excited.

From its wistful melodies to its catchy chorus, it’s so captivating you may forget you’re listening to a Vocaloid track.

With playful twists throughout—like the sudden beat change in the second B section—it’s a work that both rock lovers and Vocaloid fans can enjoy.

It’s a catchy rock tune that makes your head and body move on their own.

Composed by Vocaloid producer Roaru and released in 2022, this track took first place in the Rookie category of the online Vocaloid event “VocaColle 2022 Spring.” The stylish arrangement—featuring ear‑grabbing guitar comping and slapped bass—is irresistible! Miku’s razor‑sharp vocals hit right at the core, too.
