Vocaloid Songs I Like

Vocaloids are voice synthesizers that people are able to use to digitally simulate a voice. The program uses a voice that someone provides to achieve this. Various producers use different vocaloids to make songs by writing the lyrics and music that the program should sing along to. One of the most popular vocaloids is Hatsune Miku.

These are some of my favorite vocaloids and some of my favorite songs they've produced. Some of the songs may only be found in one place, so they won't have a button for both Youtube and Spotify. Also not all of these songs will be originals. As vocaloids get less popular, it becomes a LOT harder to find original songs for them... I'm looking at you Gakupo...

Hatsune Miku

She is the queen. World is her's.
Anyway, you probably know who Hatsune Miku is. I started listening to vocaloid basically as soon as I had access to the internet. Miku has been everywhere for a long time. Her voice is typically pretty high pitched, but depending on the song and how she's tuned, she's pretty versatile.
It's hard to pick only a few of her songs to be my favorites, but I'll try to keep it as brief as I can. I don't want this page to be only Miku.

Kasane Teto

Ok ok ok ok I KNOW that Teto is an UTAU and NOT a vocaloid but the concepts are so similar that I don't care enough. I like Teto and I want to include her in this page. I don't know Teto's full history, but I know that she was originally made as an April Fools joke. She also apparently has a private vocaloid voicebank which I believe is used for concerts she participates in, but it's not available publicly.
Teto sounds very unique. A lot more robotic than vocaloids tend to sound (which, again, is probably because she's not a vocaloid). I think Teto sounds the best when paired up with another vocaloid, but she can still sound great on her own. I enjoy the crunch.

Kagamine Rin & Len

Kagamine Rin and Len (whose names I constantly mix up and sometimes call them Lin and Ren) are two vocaloids who have the same voice provider. They are described as "two bodies sharing one soul" which I think is cool. Depending on the song, they can also be portrayed as lovers (which I think is kind of weird but to each their own) or siblings. Though some people get really mad if you call them siblings so idk you can't really win ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
While Rin and Len have a good amount of songs that are separate from each other, I wanted to put them together on this page since it would feel kind of weird for them to have their own separate sections when they're so intertwined. Some of the songs I'll list here may only have one of them in it.

KAITO

Kaito is where things start to get tricky. He's one of the more popular masculine vocaloids, but he's still not as popular as a lot of the feminine vocaloids. This makes finding songs where he sings alone a little difficult, especially when trying to find a song on both youtube and spotify.
While Kaito is popular, he starts to bleed into the less mainstream crowd. I find it's easier to find more niche vocaloid songs on youtube than on spotify since on youtube you can post pretty freely, but on spotify you can only upload so much before having to pay (I think I don't exactly know how spotify works). I think it's also easier to find vocaloid songs on youtube because a lot of songs have music videos that go with them and they tend to be pretty important to understanding the story of the song.
Basically, vocaloid songs can be made by pretty much anyone, so for people wanting to share their work, youtube is an easier place to go than spotify.
ANYWAY this is supposed to be about Kaito. While he isn't my number 1 favorite, he's a very solid option with a very unique voice. He sounds different depending on if he's high or low pitch, and while I prefer when he's pitched low, pitching him high is the more popular option.
Also Kaito's voice provider LOVES Kaito. He literally views him as his son. He's very funny.

Kamui Gakupo

GAKUPOOOOO!!!! MY FAVORITE ONE!!! YEEEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Anyway, yeah it's that fuckin' time. Gakupo is my absolute favorite vocaloid and god damn people do not use him enough. I have heard he's one of the hardest vocaloids to tune, and he's also not owned by Crypton (which is the company that owns Hatsune Miku and a lot of other popular vocaloids). When people do use Gakupo, they tend to put him into pretty... explicit songs.
So all of this is to say that being a Gakupo fan is excruciating and I do not recommend it. If all of that has still not disuaded you from giving his music a try, then welcome to hell :]!
I have loved Gakupo basically ever since I started listening to vocaloid. I LOVE his voice, he sounds extremely unique, and also he's a funny purple techno samurai! He's a comfort character for me. His personality depends on the song he's in, as it is for most vocaloid, but he tends to either be really goofy or very serious.
He's my very special boy. I love love love love love him. Forever. My dancing samurai <3
