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.

Be sure to find your new favorite track!

Mr./Ms. Amnesia, look this way.Uhana Roku

Look This Way, Amnesia-san / Uhana Roku ft. Hatsune Miku

Mr. Amnesia, look this way—U no Hana Roku.

It feels like a heavy message sinking deep into my chest.

It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer Roka Uhaka, released in February 2023.

A mid-tempo rock tune with a distinctly wistful atmosphere.

And the lyrics are filled with resentment toward “someone who has forgotten what they themselves did”…

Even if you can’t relate personally, it hits hard.

It makes me wonder whether, somewhere in my life up to now, I might have done something like that without even realizing it…

I can’t help but think about it.

Artifact by buzzG feat. Hatsune Miku

ArtifactbuzzG

This is a moving anthem crafted by buzzG as the official theme song for HATSUNE MIKU EXPO 2025 ASIA.

It’s a rock track that embodies the tour’s concept of “connecting people across places and time,” slated for release in October 2025.

The song gives voice to a deep love for music that could only have been born because Hatsune Miku exists.

Its lyrics, which affirm pain, prayer, and ambiguity, resonate in the chest, overlapping with one’s inner wavering.

I especially hope people who’ve been supported by Vocaloid music will give it a listen!

Less Than Human / Hidden Life – Polypho

Less-than-human Polyphonic Branch

Let me introduce a dark track by PolyphonicBranch, who has also made waves with major-label full album releases: “Less Than Human.” This piece depicts the murky emotions of a girl trapped in self-loathing.

The drum and bass sound and the restrained, understated vocal delivery seem to express the darkness of the heart.

Also pay close attention to the spoken lines scattered throughout the song and the comically tinged melodic lines.

Stargazing Youthnerdneko

nerdneko – Stargazing Youth feat. Hatsune Miku

Stargazing Youthnerdneko

This song paints an inner landscape of someone searching for hope while tormented by the need for validation in a corner of the city.

Condensing the aesthetics of “Mikugazer” championed by nerdneko, it serves as the title track of the fourth album, Stargazing Youth, released in November 2025.

The work interweaves the futility of a moratorium with a prayer for a new first step.

Hatsune Miku’s transparent vocals resonate, wrapped in distorted guitars and reverb.

It’s music that stays close to those who are losing sight of where they belong, and to those who have grown tired of continuing to dream.

Asian giant hornetUtsu-P

Utsu-P – Giant Hornet feat. Hatsune Miku

Giant Hornet Melancholy P

It’s an ultra-aggressive loud rock track driven by a brutally low-tuned guitar.

Created by Vocaloid producer Utsu-P, it was released in August 2025.

The thunderous low-end sound and Miku’s vocals—mixing shouts and growls—are insanely cool.

The message, which bares its fangs at an unfair society and intrusive others while warning anyone who tries to invade one’s territory, is cathartic for the listener, too.

When you want to blast away your daily frustrations at full volume, definitely give it a listen!

Nuyuri – Haze / Kafu: Haze

Haze Nuyuri

This is a powerful work by Nuyuri, released in December 2023, imbued with both delicacy and intensity.

The lyrics portray chaotic emotions, seamlessly fused with Nuyuri’s boundlessly creative sound.

KAFU’s fragile vocals further enhance the song’s world, too.

And don’t miss the high-quality animated music video!

A future drawn with an eraserNei.

The Future Drawn with an Eraser / Hatsune Miku, Kasane Teto SV

A future drawn with an eraser, Nei.

An emotional rock number with a rush of momentum that pierces the heart.

Created by Vocaloid producer Nei., with the music video releasing in September 2025.

It expresses anxiety about an uncertain future that seems to be drawn and erased, and yet a wish that refuses to abandon hope.

The crisp sound packed with catchy guitar riffs and the twin-vocal synergy of Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto are incredible! It’s a song that blows away those frustrating feelings!
