[Global] English Vocaloid Song Special! Fresh with a Western pop vibe

C&Ccora

【Fukase 】C&C【Original Song + PV】

The one who’s close with the person I like isn’t me—it’s someone else.

Sung over a breezy band sound, the song captures the feelings of a bittersweet one-sided love.

It’s a track by the U.S.-based Vocaloid producer cora, released in 2016.

The familiar, classic guitar-rock style and the chorus’s repeating melodic line leave a strong impression.

It’s very pop, so even if you don’t understand English, you’ll be fine.

The lyrical message is easy to relate to, and it’s a great entry point to works by overseas Vocaloid producers.

ClockworkAthena Z

Clockwork 【Cyber Diva Original】

A track by Athena Z, a Vocaloid producer who also thrives as an illustrator.

As the song progresses, new timbres and rhythms layer in, creating the effect that even the same verse or chorus sounds different each time.

The intermittent, well-placed ticking of a clock and the spacious vocals in a high register linger in the ear—it’s a number you’ll want to listen to again and again.

binaryExpus

【Expus】VOCALOID Original​​「binary」​​​[​GUMI English]

It’s a song that uses timbres reminiscent of video game music, with occasional sound-effect-like elements, evoking a sense of nostalgia.

From the vibrato-tinged tone used in the interlude to the highly digital-sounding synth bass and the inorganic atmosphere of the VOCALOID, it’s a fun number packed with hooks that will get you hooked after just one listen.

REJECTIONyawa yawa

【VOCALOID Original】REJECTION【MIKU V3 English】

The title means “Rejection.” Contrary to the harsh impression the title gives, it’s an upbeat dance track.

Layering Hatsune Miku’s voice over it creates an even more energetic vibe.

It really makes you want to nod your head and get into the groove.

Chen JiangCOP

[Vocaloid Stardust Original] Chen Jiang (Descent of Dust) [Xingchen Original]

A delicate, repeating timbre that calls to mind the stars.

It’s so beautiful, isn’t it? This is a song released in 2016, sung by Xinchen, a Chinese V4 Vocaloid who was reborn from Heikō Shikaiko, a character originally from the doujin music scene.

Her stylish, beautiful design matches the feel of her name.

Her singing voice is based on the Chinese vocalist Chali Li, and that crystal-clear, truly diva-like tone fits this track perfectly.

Chali Li has posted many “I tried singing” videos and she’s absolutely adorable, so if you’re interested, be sure to check her out.

Situation Of MineMakku

【OLD Vocaloid Original】Situation Of Mine【DEX】

A thick, layered synth sound comes rolling in.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Makku, released in 2016.

This is a very cool electric tune, perfectly matched with the deep vocals of the VOCALOID English male voicebank DEX.

The build-up toward the latter half is thrilling and irresistible.

The lyrics convey a feeling like a mass of emotion: “You don’t know how I feel.” It’s an emotional message song that lays bare the depths of the heart, as if the feelings are overflowing without end.

ErroristNishin

【Chris】Errorist【VOCALOID original song】

This is a Vocaloid song where you can experience weight, grandeur, and beauty all at once.

Created by the Vocaloid producer Nishin, it was released in 2018.

The vocals use Chris, included in VOCALOID5.

The song’s style matches perfectly with Chris’s sweet voice, resulting in a performance that’s truly captivating—you’ll feel as if you’re listening to Western pop.

The lyrics, which explore the anguish of fighting someone, are philosophical and wonderfully profound.

It’s a work by an overseas Vocaloid producer that I can recommend even to Vocaloid beginners.
