[Refreshing] Big Feature on Vocaloid Summer Songs [Nostalgic] (141–150)
Cicada Shells of June5u5h1
June is supposed to mark the start of summer, so why does my chest tighten so much? This song is by 5u5h1, a Vocaloid producer also known as Sushi-P.
It was released on a video site in 2016.
It’s a summer rock ballad with an irresistible, emotional guitar solo.
It makes you think, “I want the coming summer to be one without regrets.”
August, a sudden evening downpour and your shadown-buna
Why do summer memories claw at our hearts so? This song captures the feelings for the “you” who was by my side on a distant summer day in its lyrics.
It’s a track by n-buna, also known for “Toumei Elegy.” Released in 2012, it quickly became popular.
The reverb-drenched guitar solo gently stirs the eardrums.
Fan Alienppppp
A song themed around the game of changing your voice with an electric fan.
Released on August 24, 2008.
It’s a techno-pop track with a fun idea: singing while imitating an alien with a vibrating voice, set to a bleepy 8-bit sound.
It really makes good use of VOCALOID’s vocal qualities.
Liar’s Knotmatsudai uki
It’s a summer Vocaloid song that, with memories of one summer tucked away in the heart, sings of wanting to meet “you” again.
Created by Matsuroidoki, who drew in many Vocaloid fans with their debut track “Kakuekiteisha,” it was released in 2019.
The first half has a relaxed rhythm, but the latter half surges forward as if emotions are bursting at the seams.
With strings, chiptune-like electronic sounds, and a four-on-the-floor beat intertwining, it’s an addictive track.
The distinctive word choices in the lyrics are captivating as well.
Blow it up, Lemon.IDONO KAWAZU
Let’s dance with the frogs! This piece by Vocaloid producer IDONO KAWAZU was released in 2020.
Its rhythmic groove and wavering, saturation-tinged vocals leave a strong impression.
It strikes a perfect balance between snappiness and laid-back charm.
The lyrics, infused with regret and resignation, really hit home.
Yet thanks to the melody and the song’s overall catchiness, it never feels suffocating.
It’s perfect for early summer—put it on while you watch the light rain fall.
Mint LemonadeTorero
Vocaloid producer Torero delivers refreshing summer songs that evoke the seaside and sandy beaches, known for standout tracks like “R.O.C.K.E.T.” Among his works, one I especially recommend is “Mint Lemonade,” released in 2021.
It’s a tropical sound featuring breezy, hip-hop-inspired rap.
You’ll enjoy the cute flow of the Vocaloids as they sing with infectious energy.
It’s a perfect summer track for anyone looking for background music for a drive or a day out.
Summer (Special)karakka
A nostalgic Vocaloid rock-pop tune that evokes a breezy summer.
Karakka’s “Summer (Special)” was released in August 2023.
The light, upbeat band sound is pleasing, and the melody makes you want to hum along.
And the choice of words in the lyrics—that’s exactly Karakka’s hallmark, isn’t it? It’s like capturing an ordinary moment from a summer day; be sure to savor that poetic expression for yourself.
