[Latest & Classic] A Special Feature on Rock Vocaloid Songs [VOCAROCK]

I hate it, I hate it—my ego is huge!Wada Takeaki

[Otomachi Una’s] Kirai Kirai Jigahidai! – Takeaki Wada (KurageP) / Hate it. Hate it. “JIGAHIDAI!” – KurageP

If we categorize it, it’s four-on-the-floor dance rock, but perhaps due to the relaxed tempo and the shadowy feel of the melody and lyrics, it makes you want to listen closely rather than dance.

The song is by Takeaki Wada, also known as Kurage-P, and was released in 2016.

The percussion sounds are catchy and really stick in your ears.

Che-che, check, one-two!Wada Takeaki

Cheche Check One Two! – Takeaki Wada (KurageP) / Check Check Check One Two! – KurageP

It grabs you right from the start.

The guitar solo is insanely cool, and the overall quality of the track is incredibly high.

The lyrics are about someone who loves their teacher so much they start acting bizarre, but maybe it feels cute because it’s a Vocaloid song.

Trash and Trash!Wada Takeaki

TRASH and TRASH! – Takeaki Wada (KurageP) / TRASH and TRASH! – KurageP

A song that makes you want to clean when you listen to it.

For people who can’t throw things away, it might pierce right through the heart.

But what’s amazing about this song is that it doesn’t end there.

If you listen to the end, it takes an astonishing turn that makes you go, “Hmm.” It may sound light, yet it’s heavy and profound.

Screw the PTANashimoto P

[Hatsune Miku] Screw the PTA [Original Song]

A very striking title.

And the edgy guitar sound is cool.

It also matches the melody’s underground vibe.

The aggressive lyrics might resonate especially with middle and high school students.

It’s okay.usushio shisū

It's OK – Lightly Salted Index feat. KAFU / It's OK

This is a work that adorably portrays a vague sense of anxiety.

It’s a rock number by Usushio Shisū, released in October 2023.

The messy tangle of emotions is expressed through catchy sounds and soft, fluffy lyrics.

It’s cute and incredibly relatable.

The sound arrangement is snappy and absolutely top-notch! I think it resonates especially well when you’re worn out by daily life or when things don’t turn out as you hoped despite your efforts.

It’s included on the album “DAIJOBU SUITE,” so if you’re interested, be sure to check it out!

Indeci-danceAotani

Indecision Dance / Aotani feat. Kasane Teto

This work represents a wavering, indecisive heart with a pop and catchy sound.

It’s a Vocaloid track released by Aotani in September 2024, featuring the distinctive charm of Kasane Teto’s vocals.

The way it sets modern people’s inner conflicts and sense of powerlessness to a brisk rhythm is striking.

The throwaway sentiment of “whatever happens, happens” ends up piercing the listener’s heart instead.

This is Aotani’s 50th piece, packed with the experience and sensibility they’ve built up so far.

It’s already drawing attention, with several thousand views on Nico Nico Douga.

Perfect for those who agonize over small everyday choices, and also great for a quick change of mood.

SenbonzakuraKurousa-P

"MV" Senbonzakura WhiteFlame feat. Hatsune Miku

In the world of Vocaloid, it goes without saying that this is “Senbonzakura.” It’s been used in commercials and such, so I think even people who aren’t familiar with Vocaloid songs know it.

Both the intro and the melody line are so striking that you can’t forget them after a single listen.

The guitar solo in the interlude is also really cool.
