A Japanese-style song distinguished by its wavering vocal work.

Vocaloid producer naraku’s “Nanaraku Raku” was released in October 2023.

It sings of bittersweet, heartrending feelings for a precious person one can never forget.

Rather than feverish passion or guileless purity, it leans more toward an ennui-laden atmosphere.

The soft, composed singing voice is also wonderful.

You might even discover a new charm in Kasane Teto.

Apocalypse nowPinocchioP

Pinocchiop - Apocalypse Now feat. Hatsune Miku

A work that fuses humor and cynicism to sing the praises of being “ordinary.” PinocchioP’s track “Apocalypse Now” was released in August 2023.

You’ll be drawn in by its sound arrangement, which blends pop appeal with an eerie edge.

The melody and lyrics are quintessential PinocchioP.

Chiso-sama¿?

Chiso-sama / ¿? feat. flower

“Chisosa” by ¿? koto shimon, released on May 25, 2024, is a downer-style electronic dance tune.

It’s a collaboration with Sanrio’s mixed-media project “Mai Mai Maigoen,” created with the character Daigorou as its motif.

Despite its rhythmic drive, the track surges in with heavy sound, noisy vocal work, and deranged lyrics all fused together.

It’s a highly horror-tinged Vocaloid song that sends chills through your ears and down your back.

Tiny Bunnyyou-man

Tiny Bunny … MEIKA HIME NAKANAGA Hime | Tiny Bunny

I’m completely hooked on the high-sense sound arrangement that skillfully uses silence.

This is a track by the Vocaloid producer Youman, known for his unique, independent style, released in 2020.

The openness of the chorus is outstanding; when you hear it, you realize all the earlier phrases were foreshadowing—in other words, musical buildup.

The lyrics convey the protagonist’s determination to keep moving forward, even if it’s painful—poignant yet powerful.

It’s an emotionally stirring, impactful Vocaloid song.
