Guchiri, a Vocaloid producer known for creating numerous narrative-driven tracks.
His 2023 piece “Gray Sea” unfolds like a novel, weaving a compelling story.
The protagonist, lost in a dream, realizes they’ve lost their colors and is depicted confronting the world and themselves.
The song features an impressive, dazzling band sound with technical guitar work and a horn section.
Sung powerfully and alone on stage by flower, it’s a mid-tempo number that conveys both poignancy and strength.
A poetic Vocaloid song themed around inner conflict and anxiety.

Here’s the theme song for ISEKAI CREATORS, a project that distributes worlds and assets you can use in your own games.
It’s by Nejishiki, the Vocaloid producer also known for the smash hit “Freedom Lolita,” and it was released in March 2023.
Many people might be surprised to hear Megurine Luka singing in English.
Luka’s solid vocals shine over a track that feels like an RPG battle theme, and it alone conjures up a sense of an epic story.
ISEKAI CREATORS is definitely a project to watch.

For fans of rock and music lovers alike, we recommend “That Girl Who Doesn’t Listen to J-Rock Always Sings of Love.” This is a fast-paced rock song created by Haruna using Utaai Yuki.
The lyrics portray a protagonist who tries to turn a romance—and eventual breakup—with someone who doesn’t listen to rock into a song.
The heartbreaking situation of creating a wonderful track that the person you love will never listen to is sure to seize your heart.
You can also feel the wistfulness in the slightly lowered vocal tone.

Created by the popular singer Mafumafu, who even performed at the Kouhaku Uta Gassen, it was released in 2018.
As noted in the video description, it was produced around the theme of group psychology—specifically, “creating a common enemy to unite people.” Judging from the MV’s imagery as well, it might especially resonate with middle and high school students who can relate it to their own experiences.
It’s an addictive song where fear and coolness intersect, driven by an irresistible sense of speed.
