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

SoliloquyMARETU

[Hatsune Miku] Dokuhaku [Original]

A unique number where sharp band sounds and chiptune-like phrases intertwine exquisitely.

It’s a work by MARETU, also known as the author of “Coin Locker Baby,” released in 2016.

It serves as the theme song for Luciano, a character from the game “#Compass: Combat Providence Analysis System.” The philosophical word choices in the lyrics are quintessentially MARETU, and they match perfectly with the dark, cool tone of the track.

The rhythm shift from the increasingly intense B-melody into the chorus is so surprising—it’s absolutely irresistible.

Sing of FlowersShino

Hana o Utau / Shino feat. Hatsune Miku

Although a rising creator who began activities in 2020, Vocaloid producer Shino has been attracting high expectations from a wide range of listeners.

This is their second track, created under the theme “a song you want to listen to in spring,” and despite being only their second work, it was selected for the smartphone game Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku in the “Let’s Make It Together! 2nd Song Contest, Proseka NEXT.” The catchy bassline intertwining with the melody, the drums laying down an offbeat shuffle groove, and the breezy synths on top all come together to create a comfortable, springlike atmosphere.

It’s a Vocaloid track you’ll want to check out—one that really showcases the evolution of the Vocaloid scene.

ColorfulHiiragi Magnetite

Colorful / Miyamai Moka

A pop-rock number bathed in the glittering light of youth.

Composed by Hiiragi Magnetite, known for signature works like “Arusekai Shōshitsu” (“The Disappearance of a Certain World”), it’s slated for release in March 2025.

Based on the grand-prize winner of the “Youth Novel × Vocaloid Producer Cup,” the song’s driving sound captures the emotional swings of life—joy and sorrow, hope and despair.

Its emotional melody, combined with Maimai Moka’s soaring vocals and Fushi’s guitar arrangements, are a perfect match.

When you want to lift your head and start moving forward, this track will be there to help.

Me vs the WorldOmoi

Me vs. the World / Hatsune Miku

An emotional rock piece that overwhelms you with the powerful presence of guitars and synths.

Created by the musical unit Omoi, it was released in August 2025.

This work is a “song of rebuttal,” crying out a steadfast will: even if the whole world becomes your enemy, I alone will never give up.

The protagonist’s resolve to stand alone for “you,” refusing to yield to loneliness or injustice, is deeply moving.

Give it a listen when you feel an inescapable sense of stagnation or a surge of defiance against society.

watching like a tiger for the chance; biding one’s time with a predatory eye (waiting for the perfect moment to strike)Umetora

[Luka, Miku, GUMI, IA, Rin] Koshitantan [Original: Umetora]

This sultry song zeroes in on its target and seduces—just like the title, “Koshibantan” (watching like a tiger, waiting for the chance).

Even when you know you’re being hunted, human desire makes you want to drown in it.

It’s a shocking track that stimulates those urges.

Every once in a while, I want to drown in a world of love.

If that’s you, this one’s for you.

You’ll find yourself thinking, “I wish there were a girl like this.”

Danlougumo (a Japanese spider name; likely the genus or common name transliterated as “Danrougumo”).halyosy

halyosy – Danrougumo ft. KAITO, Kagamine Len [Official Video]

Motifed around a spider that appears at night, this work lays bare the darker side of romantic relationships.

Released as a music video in October 2025, the song by halyosy features a duo of male vocals—KAITO and Kagamine Len—whose interplay creates a decadent, aesthetic worldview.

Through imagery of spider silk, webs, and predation, it sings of domination and submission, the cycle of desire and ruin.

The arrangement—where beats, guitar, piano, and bass intertwine in multiple layers—evokes a visceral sense of being “ensnared.” Be sure to listen while imagining the story unfolding!

Heavenly MusicYuuyu

Tengaku / yuyu feat. Kagamine Rin

This is the song that became Yuuyu’s second work to surpass one million views, achieved on March 10, 2013.

The illustration was done by tamajam, and the video was produced by Acha (Doara-P).

It is characterized by a heavy, intense sound.

It is also known for being covered by many musicians, including Wagakki Band.
