Top 10 Best Vocaloid Songs

Vocaloid is an innovative music technology that combines vocal synthesis software with an extensive community of creators, producing an endless variety of songs across genres. At its core, Vocaloid enables virtual singers, like the well-known Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin and Len, or Megurine Luka, to perform songs by synthesizing human-like vocals based on text input. Over the years, these virtual idols have become cultural icons, celebrated not just for the futuristic tech behind them but also for the emotional depth and creativity of the music they bring to life.

The beauty of Vocaloid lies in its openness. It's a platform where anyone with the software and some musical talent can create and share their work. From upbeat pop anthems to haunting ballads, Vocaloid songs span all kinds of genres and moods, giving fans a huge range of music to enjoy. Many of these songs are deeply personal to their creators, and it's the blend of high-tech sounds and raw human emotion that has drawn such a dedicated and global fanbase.

1. Servant of Evil

   It's so sad. Not only is the song extremely sweet, but it also teaches a lesson. Rin is a selfish, evil princess taking over a country and torturing innocent people. Len is her brother, and ironically, her servant. He goes out of his way to make sure his sister gets everything she wants and is happy because that is what he truly wants. Eventually, a big revolution starts and Rin is sentenced to death. Len does not want his sister to die, so they switch places and Len dies for his sister. In my opinion, Len has the voice of an angel, along with Miku (she doesn't sing in this. Just my opinion). I love Len Kagamine's Servant of Evil - the saddest and sweetest song ever.

2. World is Mine

   This was my first Vocaloid song and is what officially got me into more of Hatsune Miku's songs and led me on to the other Vocaloids. World is Mine is a cute little song about a childish Miku singing about her boyfriend and how she thinks she deserves his heart more than anyone else. It describes all the things he should do for Miku as they are dating. At first, Miku sounds a little stuck-up and selfish, but then you realize she only wants to confirm that her boyfriend loves her. This song completely wins my heart for Hatsune Miku and her music. It will always remain a classic.

   World is Mine has such a captivating musical style that's different from all other Vocaloid songs I've heard. Definitely deserves the top spot.

   Although Meltdown is also a phenomenal song, World is Mine is sung by Vocaloid's main representative, Hatsune Miku, and it was written by the main composing representative, Ryo.

3. Meltdown

   This has been my all-time favorite VOCALOID song ever since the year 2008. Back then, the song just had a meltdown effect on me. I could feel the cold, stale air and my heart pumping fast, along with all those late-night regrets that were making me a total insomniac.

   Now, the song just has such nostalgia attached to it. I've been completely in love with Rin ever since I first discovered VOCALOID, but it feels like an eternity has passed since then. Back then, the story made me anxious and nervous, but now, it makes me feel calmer and happier. I even sang an 8-bit remix of this song at school some years ago (in my own language so that everyone could understand). I totally failed to capture the emotion, and normally, I would be ashamed and would keep my distance from the song that made me so embarrassed. But I continue to listen to it still.

4. Six Trillion Years and Overnight Story

   I think it's sad that so many people aren't even bothering to listen to the song.

   I love this song because it has a deep meaning, and IA's voice really suits it. The song itself sounds mystical, and I feel both soothed and energetic when listening to it. It also goes extremely fast in the chorus, and I like IA singing it because she can keep up with the tempo, and the song suits her. Furthermore, unlike other songs, most people can sing along (except for the chorus) because it stays within a reasonable range. It doesn't go extremely high.

   I was so obsessed with this song that I listened to it every single day, close to six trillion times in total.

5. Triple Baka

   YES! I was listening to this song just now. It's so catchy! I think it's especially good for people who are new to Vocaloid. It's less harsh than Servant of Evil or Trick and Treat, where Rin and Len are evil and Miku is the innocent little girl who gets killed by them.

   This one is by far the best. Teto sounds adorable singing the harmonies, and I love it when Neru hits Miku with the leek. And Neru's expression when she looks up from the phone... it's the best.

   This was the first Vocaloid song I heard. I showed it to a friend at school, and she fell in love. Then I showed it to another two friends, and they loved it. Triple Baka is awesome like that!

6. Senbonzakura

   If you like rock, Vocaloid, deep-meaning lyrics, and Hatsune Miku, then Senbonzakura is a song you have to listen to. The upbeat tune may fool you at first, but the translation seems too dark to be the actual song, right? Wrong. This is my favorite song and always will be.

   Hatsune Miku rocked this, and this was the song that made me addicted to Vocaloid, and even interested in learning more about Japanese culture. It must mean a lot if just one song has enough power to do that.

   It makes me smile at any time or mood and powers through my problems to make me smile. It's a masterpiece that I'll never forget, and you won't either.

7. Butterfly On Your Right Shoulder

   I have no idea what people are thinking when they vote based on the 'LOID who sings. Trust me, every VOCALOID has at least one extremely catchy song that belongs on this list. Migikata no Chou tops them all - interesting meaning, an abundance of mixes, incredible covers (Luka's is my favorite, go check it out!), and I remember the first time I heard it, I was scribbling butterflies and humming the tune for weeks!

   You can't call yourself a true VOCALOID fan without having heard this tune. This is a catchy song. It will get stuck in your head, but it's worth it!

   Love this song! Though I wish they had Rin on the stage too with Len in the 2016 version concerts.

   Now that they only have Len on stage and Rin only singing backup, but not being seen anywhere on the stage, is sad. I thought the ones where both Rin and Len were on stage were cute.

8. Matryoshka

   I love this song. Let's be honest - it's addictive, fun, catchy, easy to sing to, upbeat, and much more. I also love the amount of covers you can find that explore all possible ways to sing this song.

   And the meaning? 524.

   One of the few VOCALOID songs that I listened to 2 years ago for the first time (when I first got into them) that I still think is underplayed and still would listen to anytime.

   You can't dislike this song. I just love everything about it: the vocals, the lyrics, and the creativity in the costumes and art. It seems like such a fun and crazy song to dance to, yet it really has a sad but beautiful meaning and story. This will always be my favorite.

9. Just Be Friends

   Miku this, Miku that. What the hell is wrong with people? All the Vocaloids need a chance. Just Be Friends has over 6 million views and is my favorite Vocaloid song. World is Mine is just a stupid auto-tuned chipmunk song about a snob who claims "the world is hers". How is that entertaining? All there is to the song is a high-pitched "AHH!" that sounds like helium had a stroke.

   Just Be Friends is auto-tuned as well. All Vocaloid songs are. But even though Just Be Friends doesn't sound perfect, it still sounds better than any of that Miku crap. In fact, it actually has lyrics that touch people's hearts. Please, think about that.

   I have to say, "Just Be Friends" is not the best sounding Vocaloid song, but it is still one of my favorites. Most of the time, it's not the singing or the music that makes a Vocaloid song so wonderful. It's the content and story behind it. "Just Be Friends" tells a story about breaking up with the one person you have loved. It's such a bittersweet story, and many people can relate to it.

   I recommend this song. It has a nice, catchy tune and phrases that you might be singing for days (I know I did). So, even if Luka is not your favorite Vocaloid, still listen to "Just Be Friends." It's fantastic.

10. Melt

    This song is seriously adorable! Ryo is a genius. Go away, you Len fangirls! Why are the Kagamines number 1 in every list? Because of you fangirls!

    I mean, seriously, I adore Len too, but at least I don't go around saying that everything Len does is the best. Oh, and Miku's voice is not too high-pitched! If anything, Rin's voice is. Did you hear Meltdown? "This ringing in my ears won't stop." Yeah. Probably because your singing is deafening!

    Melt was my first Vocaloid song, and I loved it. It'll always plant a smile on my face, from the blissful voice to the wonderful tune. Its PV was a captivating spectrum of colors, with dancing figures that made my heart fly in joy. It's a memorable song I will forever treasure.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    Mesmerizer - Satsuki, Hatsune Miku & Kasane Teto

    

    I added it because I noticed no one else did. How was Mesmerizer not on here in the first place? It's probably one of the most well-known Teto songs of all time as of now.

    Between all the hidden messages in the official music video, the creepiness of Miku in the second half, and the overall cutesy feeling of the song when you compare it to the insanity that happens at the end, it's just unforgettable. It's creepy, but I love it at the same time.

12. ?

    Rolling Girl - Hatsune Miku

    

    The instrumentation is quite chaotic, but it also has an easy-to-follow pattern. The lyrics are dark and vague, so everyone seems to have a different interpretation.

    This was the first wowaka song I listened to, and it was my favorite Vocaloid song for quite a while.

    RIP legend.

    Rolling girl has to be one of the most influential early vocaloid songs of all time.

The Contenders

13. Tell Your World

    Tell Your World is a very beautiful song that is worth listening to over and over again. Even though the notes are rather high at some points, Miku manages to fit them very well. The video even shows you how Vocaloid developed over time, which is another amazing thing to watch.

    This is a song that I'm sure many fans will love.

    It's such a beautiful song. It shows the true power of music, as if Miku is so passionate about her singing that she wants the viewer to tell their family and friends and spread the word. Servant of Evil is just an overrated fairy tale. Tell Your World is much better!

14. Two-Faced Lovers

    I adore pretty much all of the songs on this list, but for me? Two-Faced Lovers takes the cake. Not only is it extremely catchy and fast (a joy to the ears!), but it also has a deep meaning, which is portrayed wonderfully. This song has moments that I just want to replay again and again.

    I never get tired of this song. Wowaka is such a good producer, and Rolling Girl is a gem as well, but this has got to be my favorite.

    It's upbeat, fast, catchy, and has a meaning. I love it. It's absolutely addicting to me. I agree the video was a bit weird, yet I also enjoyed it because it was different than most videos I've seen. It's about how love isn't always love when the other person isn't committed, and how it hurts.

15. Alluring Secret ~Black Vow~

    This song is amazing! The animation and story are beautiful and actually tell a story. It would make an awesome plot for an anime, book, or something similar. I'm not very good at describing things, but just go and listen to it already!

    Awesome graphics, beautiful tune, beautiful lyrics. What can I say? This is one of my favorite Vocaloid songs. I love its story. In my opinion, it's one of the best of all the Vocaloid songs, even better than the Story of Evil.

    So, this shouldn't be the 30th song.

    This is one of the songs that made me fall in love with Vocaloid. It tells a story of a fallen angel (datenshi) and her forbidden love with a beautiful girl. The first time I listened to it, I cried at the part where Rin/Len disappears.

    I really don't know why this is down at the bottom.

16. Paradichlorobenzene

    I love Paradichlorobenzene so much! I'm even listening to it while writing this. It's my favorite song and always will be. I remember when I first got into it: I was watching a Top 10 Fastest VOCALOID Songs video, and that song was featured.

    Back then, I had to look at the words on the video to spell it correctly! Over time, I began listening to it more and more, and it eventually became my favorite song. However, I never really learned how to pronounce it.

    This song should be first on the list. I love it so much that I've even come to spell it without looking at the word itself! It's the best song ever - you HAVE to listen to it. I love so many covers (my playlist on YouTube is 'My Favorite Songs (almost all VOCALOID)'), but it's not all Paradichlorobenzene, although a lot of it is. I've even memorized all the lyrics!

    I've made my own songs that are a mix between Paradichlorobenzene and Antichlorobenzene, and I'm really hoping to send it to Owata-P. He became my favorite producer just because of Paradichlorobenzene. Len was already my favorite VOCALOID. This isn't my first Len song nor my first VOCALOID song, but it's my favorite of both!

17. Gekokujou

    I have fallen in love with the song. It's funny, upbeat, has a samurai setting, and the Kagamine twins! That's all I need!

    Great song. Funny and with a nice beat as well.

    Declare war on all Vocaloids? Yes!

18. World's End Dancehall

    I absolutely love this song! First off, it has two of my favorite Vocaloids in it, Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka, and has one of the catchiest beats I've ever heard. The meaning is beautiful yet playful. I just don't know why this song wasn't at least in the top ten!

    I love World's End Dancehall! Its tune is inspiring and competitive-sounding! You should see the Len and Kaito version, or as I like to call it, "two boys who think they're girls."

    Everything about this song is flawless, from the complex yet catchy beat to the lyrics. The Project Diva video for this song is superb as well!

19. Piece of Thought

    You. You right there. I was like you until I listened to this song. I listened to it once before, maybe like you. I had thought, "I don't see what's so good about this song. It's pretty slow." I deleted the song.

    And now, I've listened to it again. Please give this emotional, beautiful song a chance. And then it will surprise you.

    This song is really nice and emotional. The fact that it could be pointed toward many different characters made it stand out for me.

    I can't find this song! Please tell me who sang it!

20. Gemini

    My favorite song by the Kagamine twins!

    Such an adorable, cute, and lovable song with a great song map. And seriously, if you DON'T LOVE the Kagamines, what are you doing here?

    I love Len's voice here. I love the Kagamine twins! It's a really comforting song. I usually listen to it when I'm about to sleep. It definitely deserves more than the 13th rank!

21. The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku

    This song is overwhelming. When I first heard it, the steady tones got me expecting anything but what I got to hear.

    It was one of those songs I instantly downloaded - I loved it. I usually dislike Miku's voice, but it seemed perfect for the song itself. It's so upbeat, catchy, and different.

    Best. Song. Ever.

    It has a beautiful melody and intense tunes all at the same time. The intense pace of Miku's fast parts adds a special feel to the song. It's hard to sing, but it really brings out the best of Miku's wide vocal range.

22. Imitation Black

    I LOVE THIS SONG! It's my absolute favorite Vocaloid song ever! First, it sounds like a rock song, which is my favorite kind of music. Second, it has my first, third, and seventh favorite Vocaloids in it. And third, Kamui Gakupo is in it (I LOVE THAT GUY!).

    Why is it so low on this list? It should be number one!

    I love the contrast between Len and Gakupo, with KAITO filling in the middle.

    I love this song! With Kaito, Gakupo, and Len all in the same song, it makes it even more awesome! It's pure epicness!

23. The Lost One's Weeping

    A song that voices the silenced voices of many students and uncovers the feelings of Japanese students towards the harsh reality of the high standards of the education system. The lyrics may be dark and hopeless, but the strong rock music gives encouragement and hope.

    I can't believe this is number 67! If I had a party and got to put on Vocaloid songs, this would be my first choice. It's even more awesome when you watch her just slamming her guitar on the ground at Magical Mirai. But seriously, I can't believe this song is way back here. Personally, I'd choose this as number one, or at least higher.

    I always listen to this song when I'm just not motivated. The first thing you hear is drums and guitars playing. Then Rin's awesome voice kicks in. I've been listening to this song for only three to five months, almost every day, but it's still awesome. This would actually be a good pick for an anime opening.

    Lost One's Weeping also helps me if I start hating school so much. I can actually relate to the guy in the song. Like, I have so much stress when it comes to school. But when I listen to this song, it starts calming me down for some reason. If I only got to listen to one Vocaloid song, it would be Lost One's Weeping.

24. Bacterial Contamination

    This song really relates to my life. I have been told countless times that I am worthless, stupid, and that I'll forever be a freak because of my anime obsessions, and that I should kill myself because of that. But in a while, the school's talent show is coming up. I'm going to sing this song while looking my tormentors straight in the eye.

    This song has contaminated me with its dark yet beautiful tune. It's a very unique song, too, and its tune is stuck in my mind. It is rather dark, but it's also meaningful, and it is actually able to connect to some people's feelings. Overall, it's the almost best song I've heard yet.

25. Love is War

    This is the first Vocaloid song I heard. It is a fantastic song created by Supercell. They did a superb job on the vocals and used Miku in a way I'd never heard before. The song shows how painful it is to see the one you love with another woman, and some people can really relate!

    I like Alice Human Sacrifice, but my most favorite, and for me the best, is Love is War! It's the most perfect song I have ever heard. The best Vocaloid song ever created! Why does everyone like Alice Human Sacrifice so much? Love is War is better.

26. Trick and Treat

    For me, the Trick and Treat song is very cool, and I like the way Rin and Len are, especially in the video. It was very cool, and it was very horror, which makes me afraid to go to the toilet.

    The first Vocaloid song that I ever listened to. At first, I thought that it was super creepy, but I now think that it's flat-out awesome!

    Trick and Treat is one of my favorite songs to listen to anytime! I listened to it on Halloween, and it felt great! It's a good song!

27. Kemono No Uta

    I have to say, it's a really nice song. It's sung by Akita Neru, and this is the first song I have heard by her. I like her voice.
