Perorincho.SLAVE V-V-R

If you want to listen to hard rock Vocaloid, this is it! It’s a track by the popular Vocaloid producer SLAVE.V-V-R, known for their “failed retirement,” released in October 2023.

The quintessential, high-impact rock sound really pumps you up.

And the way it transitions from whispery vocals to powerful shouts is insanely cool.

The sound has enough power to blow away any small worries or anxieties.

A hardcore Vocaloid track that vents frustration at society and oneself.

Composed by Sohbana, the original was released in 2021; this is the Kasane Teto version unveiled in November 2024.

A self that can’t take flight, the gap between ideals and reality, the loss of innocence that comes with growing up—these quintessentially youthful feelings are conveyed over a punchy sound.

Many teens, in particular, will probably find it relatable.

A stylish rock number driven by a funky bassline.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Sohbana, also known for works like “I’m Really Fine,” released in 2022.

It participated in the BOCALOID Collection Spring 2022 TOP 100 rankings.

Centered on a crisp, hard-edged band sound, the sharp sonic textures unfold and pair perfectly with Miku’s poised vocals.

The lyrics explore the loneliness felt while being caught in the rain.

Phrases that incorporate hip-hop elements also leave a strong impression.

An alternative rock track that opens with a weathered, down-at-the-heels guitar sound.

Composed by the Vocaloid producer amber, it was released in June 2023.

I imagine many people will be drawn to its downer, melancholic atmosphere.

The thick, full-band ensemble feels great and really sets your eardrums vibrating.

The literary lyricism, Ci flower’s squeezed-out vocal delivery, and the distortion-laden guitar solo blend beautifully—a Vocaloid song that, strangely enough, feels calming.

The chorus builds with rising emotion, gripping listeners and not letting go.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to believe in their potential and move forward—it will surely give you a push.

If you like rock sounds, “World Lampshade” is also recommended.

It’s a track included on buzzG’s album IFREET.

The song was originally written for the vocalist Ryokun, and this version is essentially a self-cover.

Set to a drum’n’bass-fueled, fast-paced sound, it sings of love for an irreplaceable person and how that person is one’s reason to live.

Try listening while thinking of a lover, a friend, or family.

Imecchan Who Wants to Be a Guitar Hero portrays a girl who, driven by a simple desire to “try playing the guitar,” picks up an instrument and shows off her performance.

The song was produced in 2023 by Vocaloid producer ime44, whose name appears in the title.

Opening with a passionate guitar intro, it launches into a rapid-fire vocal section delivered in a conversational style.

The protagonist remains cool as she keeps pushing herself in guitar practice, even when things don’t go smoothly.

With Yuki Kaai’s cute voice conveying honest emotions, this track delivers a fast-paced rock sound.
