A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
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.
