Maiden AnatomyDECO*27
It’s a mixture rock number that’s catchy yet carries an unsettling vibe.
The song, released in 2019, is by DECO*27, a Vocaloid producer who could be said to be leading the Vocaloid scene.
It’s a rhythmic piece with sharp guitar phrases that stick in your ears.
The lyrics reveal a precarious romantic relationship, making your heart race.
In 2020, a remix version by TeddyLoid was also released, so be sure to compare the two!
Viper ViperFushi
Viper Viper, produced by Fushi, portrays a character whose personality is steeped in pitch-black darkness.
The word “viper” in the title can mean a pit viper, a venomous snake, or a two-faced, malicious person; the music video’s illustration shows a person draped in snakes, their face laid bare with raw, dark emotions.
The lyrics paint a pretty dangerous personality, yet the brisk, driving melody is irresistibly catchy.
Even when we want to spend our days with kindness, sometimes something so nasty happens that it blackens us on the inside.
In moments like that, why not listen to this track as a way to blow off some steam?
Merry Christmas, One-RoomHitoka hitomoku
A heartwarming Vocaloid tune that gently lights up a lonely holy night.
Created by Hitoka hitomoku and released in December 2024.
The soft vocals trace the feelings of a protagonist spending Christmas alone in a studio apartment.
Pleasant band sounds and vocal work tenderly express the hope that exists within loneliness.
The lyrics also leave an impression by spotlighting small changes in everyday life—like the smile of a clerk wearing a Santa hat and modest decorations.
Listening will surely put you in a relaxed mood.
full of mysteriesIDONO KAWAZU
Not only does IDONO KAWAZU write and compose music, but he also handles the animation.
One work said to depict his daily life is “Tokaku mo Nazo.” The song portrays someone living an ordinary life as a company employee while finding dreams and hope within it.
You could think of it as a cheer song for working people.
Another appeal is the music video’s animation, where the protagonist— a frog—has charmingly comical movements that will warm your heart.
Un-LockMuryokuP
Created in 2023 by Vocaloid producer MuryokuP—known for delivering songs across a wide range of genres alongside beautifully designed illustrated MVs—“Un-Lock” was written specifically for the in-game unit Leo/need from “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Cutie HackerNem
A melodious and cool mixture rock track with irresistibly tight guitar cutting.
Created by Vocaloid producer Nem and released in June 2023.
It was produced with the character Silver Wolf from the game Honkai: Star Rail in mind.
Since Silver Wolf is a hacker-type character, the sound and lyrics make heavy use of chiptune-style synths and have a near-futuristic vibe.
The arrangement also notably shifts into a jazz style partway through.
Listen for the crisp, satisfying quality of each individual sound!
Dust trailNoz.
If you like fast-paced, exhilarating rock, give this a listen! It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Noz., known for works like “Hedgehog” and “Seimeigaku,” released in March 2023.
It participated in the 2023 Spring VocaColle TOP 100 ranking.
The guitar riffs are cool from start to finish, and the band sound—imbued with a touch of grit—really amps you up.
It aligns perfectly with the bittersweet, melancholic world of the lyrics.
And the sing-along that kicks in after the second chorus will make you want to join in!
