[From Classics to the Latest] A Special Feature on Vocaloid Masterpieces and Legendary Tracks!

Love wordsDECO*27

Love words

It’s a catchy and pop message song that colors a band sound with lively, chiptune-style synths! It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to introduce DECO*27 as a composer for whom “every song released is a hit,” with works like “Mosaic Roll,” “Hibana,” and “Vampire.” This track was released in July 2009.

While the title and lyrics are crafted like a love song, in truth it’s a song of gratitude from DECO*27 to the fans who listen to his work.

The warm atmosphere that comes through the whole track really fills your heart with comfort.

Even with no particular reason, just listening to it forcibly lifts your spirits.

Miku and Una’s conversational vocals and the call-and-response make it feel fun.

The tempo is so good that before you know it, it’s over—like riding a roller coaster.

Feast of NonsensePinocchioP

PinocchioP – Nonsensical Banquet feat. Hatsune Miku / Tonchinkan Feast

From the intro to the very end, every slice of it is captivating—a Vocaloid track through and through.

Created by multi-creator PinocchioP, who also handles the illustrations and video, it was released in 2015.

The song brims with humor, using interactions at an izakaya as its theme.

Yet as you follow the lyrics, it carries a depth that makes you ponder, “What is life, anyway?” The stylish electronic sound built around the bass drum’s rhythm is also seriously cool.

It’s a masterpiece that rewards both careful listening and lyrical analysis.

Day by Daysyudou

Hatsune Miku & KAFU - day by days [syudou]

Why does just listening to it make my heart race like this…? It’s a dark Vocaloid track steeped in a yandere-tinged worldview you can’t escape.

Created by Vocaloid producer syudou—also known for working on Ado’s “Usseewa”—it was released in 2022.

The writhing bassline, chopped-up beats, and ominously resonant synths surge all at once, and it’s absolutely intoxicating.

This is exactly what it means to be “enraptured,” isn’t it? Be sure to check out the companion tracks “Kareshi no Jude” and “Cute na Kanojo” as well!

Rigged DanceMafumafu

[MV] Cheat Dance / Mafumafu feat. Kagamine Rin & Len [VOCALOID]

It’s a nu-metal/mixture rock track whose lyrics carry a philosophical message: one person’s right answer is another person’s wrong one.

The song, released in 2020, is by Mafumafu, who is also active as a professional singer.

It’s incredibly rhythmic and really gets you moving as you listen.

Kagamine Rin and Len’s straightforward vocals match the tone perfectly.

There’s also a self-cover video where Mafumafu sings it himself, which I highly recommend checking out as well.

Honestly, it makes me want to sing it too.

PamelaBalloon

Pamela/flower

Vocaloid producer Balloon, who has created numerous theme songs for anime and dramas, is also active as a singer-songwriter under the name Keina Suda.

Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend is Pamela.

You can experience a rock sound that draws on his band background.

The driving sound paired with a poignant melodic line is a highlight.

The human-like vocals delivered with flower will resonate with your heart.

It’s a rock number perfect for Vocaloid beginners who aren’t sure where to start.

Even when someone says, “You’re free to do whatever you want,” you end up hesitating to try something new, don’t you? This is an emotional Vocaloid song that cries out and sings the moratorium we carry as we go through life.

Created by Kanzaki Iori and released in 2018, its driving piano rock sound tears at your emotions.

The allure of Kanzaki Iori’s music lies above all in the profound messages of the lyrics—you can’t help but listen and see yourself reflected in them.
