A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
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!

Beast DanceWada Takeaki

Beast Dance – Takeaki Wada (KurageP) / Beast Dance – KurageP [Otomachi Una Talk Ex Demo Song]

Beast DanceWada Takeaki

I think the sound matches Otomachi Una’s voice extremely well.

The hook’s repeated phrase is really cute and leaves a strong impact.

It feels like a song that reveals more flavor with each listen—the second time, the third time, and so on.

These lyrics allow for so many interpretations; it’s genius.

Evasion of the EndHiiragi Magunetaito

Hiiragi Magnetite – Terminal Escape / Hatsune Miku

Evasion of the EndHiiragi Magunetaito

This is the third posted work by Hiiragi Magnetite, who began activities as a Vocaloid producer in 2020, and it won first place in the Rookie Ranking at the same year’s VocaColle.

While it makes full use of the wide vocal range unique to Vocaloid songs, its crafting of catchy melodies that don’t sound unnatural is outstanding.

With a sense of speed that still carries a hint of darkness, and a structure rich in tight hits and clear contrasts, it’s a track that resonates with both rock fans and Vocaloid enthusiasts.

Screw the PTANashimoto P

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.

Therefore Niru Kajitsu “Bird of Paradise” with Flower [Official] - Strelitzia

Bird of paradiseNiru Kajitsu

A track by Nirukajitsu, a creator who, in addition to working as a Vocaloid producer, is also active as a lyricist, composer, and arranger.

Set to a tight beat layered with noisy guitar and ear-catching programmed sounds, it’s a Vocaloid number that makes you want to move your body.

The melody lets you enjoy the essence of Vocaloid from the very start—rapid-fire lines in a high register—while the arrangement leverages a slap-driven bassline.

The result is an outstanding VOCAROCK track that fuses heaviness with a lingering sense of lightness.

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

It's okay.usushio shisū

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

Indeci-danceAotani

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.
