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.

DECO*27 – Kaiko feat. Hatsune Miku

Silkworm DECO*27

Released in November 2025, “Kaiko” is a love song that portrays a protagonist’s obsession—trapped in a shining past and unable to accept how their partner has changed.

Its sound distinctively fuses Jersey club and tear-out.

Addictive melodies, chaotic chord progressions, and thick choral work create a densely textured listening experience.

The lyrics convey a near-mad intensity that’s impossible to ignore, pulling you in.

Many listeners will likely relate to the suffocating lack of an outlet for such one-sided emotions.

Starting with a guitar sound, the entry of drums and bass gives it a refreshing boost, making for a brisk and pleasant track.

Thanks to a band arrangement that doesn’t drown out the melody or lyrics, the vocals naturally and effortlessly sink into your heart.

It’s a song I’d love to recommend even to VOCALOID beginners.

Night Talk Deceivejin

Jin / Yobanashi Deceive (IA) [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Night Talk Deceive Jin

It is one of the songs from the media-mix-developed Kagerou Project series, created with one of the characters, Shuuya Kano, as its theme.

Precisely because he has the ability to deceive others, he harbors a darkness in his heart.

The song conveys those heavy emotions through a catchy melody.

Kasane Teto – Ochame Kinou (Fukkireta) FULL

Ochame Kinou by Gojimaji-P

This is a song by Kasane Teto, who debuted on a video site as a “fictional VOCALOID.” Despite its very simple melody and lyrics, it has a certain addictive quality.

Perhaps because of that, many different singers have uploaded their own cover videos of the song.

Happy HalloweenJunky

Happy Halloween / Junky feat. Kagamine Rin

Happy HalloweenJunky

A Halloween-themed song with such an upbeat dance rhythm that you can’t help but hum along while dancing.

The melody has a fairytale-like cuteness, yet despite Rin’s vocals, the mischievously devilish lyrics give it a touch of sensuality.

Zamzaparticles (te-ni-wo-ha)

Zamza / Teniwoha feat. Hatsune Miku

Zamuza teniwoha

This is a newly written piece for the unit “25-ji, Nightcord de.” from Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku.

Composed by the Vocaloid producer Teniwoha, also known for creating “Villain,” it was released in April 2023.

Its appeal lies in a rhythmic yet shadowy sound arrangement.

The lyrics, themed around “pain,” are somewhat eerie and somewhat heartrending.

The title “Zamza” refers to the name of the protagonist in the world-famous novel The Metamorphosis.

So if you read the novel, you’ll gain an even deeper understanding of the song.
