Forbidden Forbidden / ROSE – Nanahoshi Orchestra

The gothic-tinged tone and bewitching vocals are so cool! It’s a track by Nanahoshi Orchestra, the Vocaloid producer also known as Riku Iwami, released in June 2023.

I think it’s a work packed full of the appeal of the ROSE voice library! Its powerful vocal timbre shines in the highly dramatic sound.

It somehow feels like turning the pages of a book that tells a grand, mysterious story.

It also has elements of EDM and rock, so definitely give it a deep listen!

Heavenly / Uramei

If you want to savor the satisfying punch of musical “kime” moments, check out this nu-metal/mixture rock track! Vocaloid producer Fuyuu released “Heavenly” in October 2023 as a song provided to VSinger Nakuru Aitsuki.

It explodes right from the intro and is insanely addictive.

The sharp, tight sound meshes perfectly with Uramei’s husky vocals, taking the hype to the max.

And then there’s that exhilarating sense of “kime” I mentioned above.

Just listen to the chorus—you’ll get it instantly!

Shashaten / Hifumi feat. Otomachi Una

With an intro of koto tones and an aggressive guitar riff, this rock tune hooks you from the very first moment.

It’s a work by Hifumi, a Vocaloid producer known for releasing many Japanesque rock numbers, unveiled in 2022.

The lyrics, brimming with the resolve to “let them hear my sound!” will especially resonate with anyone who creates.

The song’s blend of beauty and power pairs perfectly with Otomachi Una’s bright, commanding vocals!

Ray Trace / HARU (HARU – RayTrace)

Harui, a Musical Isotope known for implementing rap capabilities.

As a track that fully showcases that appeal, “Raytrace” is a top recommendation.

This song, created by Ine, depicts the feeling of almost letting your heart sink into a painful situation.

To interpret the lyrics of this piece, it’s a good idea to look into the “ray tracing” mentioned in the title.

Simply put, ray tracing is a technique that accurately reproduces phenomena like light reflections to create beautiful graphics.

Fallen Angel / Hatsune Miku

This is a high-quality Vocaloid piano rock tune that combines grandeur, coolness, gloss, and clarity.

The track is by Kaga, also known as Negi Shower-P, and was released in February 2023.

First of all, the sound design and tuning are insanely good.

The balance between the vocal work and the sound arrangement is just outstanding.

That’s why, even with the dizzying development, the whole song feels cohesive.

This dynamic music might just blow away all the haze in your heart!

Selfish, UtopiaUhana Roku

Selfish, Utopia / Ubana Roku ft. Hatsune Miku

Wagamama, Utopia captivates with its dry sound and dark worldview.

Created by Uhana Roku—well known for earning high praise at VocaColle 2021—it’s a guitar rock–style track.

The distorted sound evokes a sense of unease, while the lyrics portray a girl’s feelings of alienation and loneliness.

That heartrending yet murky emotional state is both relatable and frightening.

It’s also worth noting the message that feels like it throws a stone into society’s pond.

Unawakened Sapphire / God-Eater El feat. flower

The aggressive sound image gives me chills! It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Kamishoku Eru, released in June 2023.

It was submitted to the Vocalock Posting Festival.

It’s a grand, dynamic Vocaloid piece that fuses hard rock with piano sounds.

The passionate tone and the growling vocals really amp up the energy! That sonic character pairs perfectly with the lyrics, which convey a strong will to “keep living even if it hurts.” Crank up the volume and give it a listen!
