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.

Solar System Desconayutan Alien

This song treats the sun as a beloved person.

Its upbeat rhythm and melody feel great.

It’s not pure, straightforward “refreshing” music; it has a tasteful depth.

The rapid-fire delivery—something Vocaloid excels at—is a hallmark too, and it’s exciting to imagine how different singers will perform it.

The composition is orthodox and approachable, and before you know it, your body starts moving as you listen.

You could call it a staple of Vocaloid dance rock.

Chururira Chururira Daddadda! – Takeaki Wada (KurageP) / Chururira Chururira Daddadda! – KurageP

Chururira Chururira Daddadda! Wada Takeaki

The setting is a school, and it depicts, in a sense, a realistic scene where people can only survive by nitpicking and snitching on one another.

A survival competition to remain the last one standing.

The tune is lively, but as you follow the lyrics, you start to feel a chill run down your spine.

ECHOCrusher-P

【VOCALOID Original】ECHO【Gumi English】

ECHOCrusher-P

It’s a famous song with English lyrics.

The way it replicates that distinctive rolled “r” often heard from foreign singers is nothing short of impressive.

The techno sound paired with a weighty melody line is addictive.

It even includes sounds that will feel nostalgic to the Famicom generation, so it’s recommended even for those who don’t usually listen to Western music.

How about using this song as a chance to start studying English?

Ego Rock (long ver.) / Surii feat. Kagamine Len

Ego-rock three

Srii is a Vocaloid producer known for melodious tracks that draw on his own experience in a band.

He’s known for songs like “Telecaster B-Boy” and “Kagirinaku Haiiro e.” In 2021, he created “Ego Rock,” a lively rock number that makes you want to clap along.

While the song has a pop and catchy feel, its sound also carries a touch of melancholy.

Why not let yourself be soothed by Kagamine Len’s cute vocals as he masterfully sings this uniquely atmospheric track?

Tokyo Teddy Bear Neru

It sings about complexes and dissatisfaction, and the lyrics—aptly likening them to a teddy bear, as the title suggests—leave a strong impression.

It’s a rock track brimming with speed and energy, so I recommend it to fans of band sounds.

The vocal melody line is excellent, and it seems like it would feel great to sing at karaoke!
