Absolutely hostile, super hate ya!Medomia

Absolute-Enemies, Super-Detest, Yaaah! – Miku and KAFU
Absolutely hostile, super hate ya!Medomia

This is an addictive Vocaloid song that portrays a friendship exactly like the saying “the closer the friends, the fiercer the fights”! It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Medomia, also known for “Kikkai Kettai” and “Sassaka Surrender,” released in 2022.

The song progresses like a back-and-forth between two boys—a delinquent and an honor student—and imagining their relationship is so much fun! The upbeat sound matches the vibe perfectly.

I highly recommend it for karaoke, too—it’ll definitely get the crowd going!

This is a song released on June 8, 2018 that uses Hatsune Miku in VOCALOID.

Its sparkling sound, which conveys a sense of speed and brilliance, is striking.

The straightforward lyrics that give you strength are also appealing.

It won the Grand Prix in the “Magical Mirai 2018 Song Contest.”

Released in 2015, this is the 17th track by n-buna.

It’s an appealing song featuring a light yet somehow wistful guitar sound.

The sorrowful, seemingly hopeless lyrics pierce the heart.

The animation, which depicts a girl in tears, is also a must-see.

Love-Emotion Underachieverkairiki bea

[Official] AI-love Inferior Student / Kairiki Bear feat. Kagamine Rin
Love-Emotion Underachieverkairiki bea

A song by Kairiki Bear, a Vocaloid producer who is also active as a composer and guitarist.

With a melody featuring dramatic leaps in pitch and a wide vocal range, it distills the essence of VOCALOID music while carrying a wistful tone.

The structure is thrilling as the interlude shifts into a heavy, metal-like mood before returning to the original style, and the stark contrasts in the arrangement tighten the piece as a whole.

It’s a true masterpiece—equally enjoyable to savor in a focused listen or to belt out at karaoke.

This is a song selected as the theme for Yomiuriland’s collaboration event “Hatsune Miku × Yomiuriland: Reunion of Encounters.” Created by DECO*27, a Vocaloid producer who has also written songs for numerous well-known artists, it was released in 2020.

The track is characterized by a structure that alternates between rap parts and catchy band-sound sections.

The lyrics are also wonderful, inspiring listeners to move forward with hope toward the future.

While many may associate DECO*27 with rock tunes, he has always excelled at mixed, genre-blending arrangements.

Yoshiwara Lamentasa

This song portrays the unrequited, tragic love of an oiran working in Yoshiwara.

It includes spoken lines, making it feel like a single story and allowing for deep emotional immersion.

The upbeat tempo curiously matches the sorrowful lyrics.

Its popularity even led to a book adaptation.

The Iron Maiden and the Dreamy Princessjorujin

Many people are surely fans of this eerie worldview.

This piece, created by Jorujin—also known as Dark Fairy Tale P—and released in 2020, has a very catchy tone and melody, but if you follow the lyrics, you’ll sense the horror.

Its subject is the historical figure Elizabeth Báthory… though I can’t recommend looking her up.

Still, it’s a highly original Vocaloid track that only Jorujin could elevate in this way.
