Songs that start with 'Vu'. For shiritori, karaoke, and playlist selection.
In this article, I’ll be introducing lots of Vocaloid songs whose titles start with the katakana “ヴ.”
When it comes to words starting with “ヴ” that might be used in song titles, examples include “Venus” (ヴィーナス), “Vampire” (ヴァンパイア), and “Vintage” (ヴィンテージ).
If you’re familiar with plenty of Japanese songs, a few tracks probably came to mind as soon as you saw these words.
This time, I’ve selected a wide range—from famous hits to hidden gems—so please enjoy discovering both classics and songs you might not know yet.
Feel free to use this as inspiration for shiritori with song titles, as well as for choosing tracks for karaoke or your playlists.

VampireDECO*27
An intense impulse to monopolize the one you love is provocatively portrayed through a vampire-themed worldview! This piece, written and composed by the hit-making Vocaloid producer DECO*27, was released in March 2021.
The sharp, punchy sound arranged by Rockwell and the contrast between the cute vibe and the lyrics’ hidden poison are irresistible.
The track was later included on the album “MANNEQUIN.” It’s so catchy you’ll find your body moving on its own.
Give it a try when you want to make your crush turn their head—or when you want to be the star at karaoke!
WalhallaSiip
Appearing out of nowhere and stealing the spotlight as a singer-songwriter with no known background, Siip made a sudden splash.
This work, inspired by Valhalla—the hall of the fallen in Norse mythology—depicts a grand world where battles and feasts repeat in perpetuity.
The sound, with its heavy strings and operatic chorus, delivers an overwhelming sense of immersion, as if you’re watching the climax of a fantasy film.
Included in the middle of the first album “Siip,” released in October 2021, it’s also known as a key track at the core of the album’s overarching narrative.
When you need courage to face never-ending days, its powerful tones are sure to push you forward.
A must-listen for anyone who wants to step away from the everyday and lose themselves in a dramatic sonic landscape.
Venusyuriyan retoriibaa
An assertive track that hurls discomfort with lookism onto a danceable beat.
Yuriyan Retriever’s second single, released in September 2025, is a message song that squarely challenges the trend of judging people by appearance alone.
Co-created with trackmaker yonkey, its danceable sound meshes perfectly with bold, defiant word choices.
The music video, directed by Kenji Sonoda, uses a simple approach that lingers on every move, letting the viewer take it all in.
Through the screen, the will and beauty that transcend surface-level evaluation quietly seep through.
Having conquered numerous comedy award circuits—including becoming the inaugural THE W champion and winning the R-1 Grand Prix—she now delivers a declaration of self-affirmation on a new artistic stage.
It’s a number for anyone who feels swayed by others’ gazes in daily life or wants to reclaim their true self.

A high-speed rock tune where razor-sharp guitars slice through the darkness and intertwine with electronic sounds.
This piece was written specifically as the opening theme for cour 2 of the popular anime Jujutsu Kaisen.
The lyrics convey an earnest determination to move forward on one’s own feet, even while bearing inner conflict and pain.
And Who-ya’s passionate vocals are truly gripping.
Try expressing that exhilarating feeling—like your field of vision suddenly opens up in the chorus—with your own voice!
VampireIVY
iVy is an alternative pop unit based in Tokyo—a standout female duo formed in 2023 by fuki and pupu.
Embracing a concept centered on fictional characters, they included this track on their album Appetite in Disarray, released in June 2025.
Using a vampire who does not thirst for blood as its motif, the song delicately portrays urban solitude and a heart as hollow as a marble.
Shoegaze-inspired roaring guitars fuse with sweet, airy vocals, creating a fragile allure that fizzes and vanishes like carbonation bubbles.
In August 2025, they held their first solo show at Shibuya WWW, achieving great success.
It’s perfect for a quiet night when you want to face yourself, or when you’d like to drift a little away from reality and sink into a dreamlike mood.
Vapor Roadcephalo
An exceptionally dreamy yet noisy alternative number.
Amid the loud, roaring guitars, vocalist Fuki’s crystal-clear voice melts in, creating a beautiful yet unsettling resonance that’s utterly addictive.
The lyrics, like an escape into the fog from a stifling everyday life, are sure to strike a deep chord with those of us living in the present.
It’s a track from Tokyo-based cephalo’s second EP, “gloaming point,” released in November 2025, and it was also featured as an in-film song in the short movie “gloaming point.” The project has drawn attention for having Slowdive’s Simon Scott handle the mastering.
Highly recommended for anyone craving a cinematic sense of immersion or fans of overseas indie rock.

A poignant song that celebrates the joy and bittersweetness of growth through a farewell to the violin.
Created by Kafi Komiya and released in November 2025, it features classical motifs and reflects the protagonist’s delicate emotions, shaped by a life walked alongside music since childhood.
Dreams seen with a tiny violin, the premonition of a farewell that will come someday, and the courage to keep moving forward nonetheless.
This is a piece that will resonate with everyone who has earnestly faced music—or any pursuit—with sincerity.
