happy anniversary to "You are Innocent Monster" / "Muko no Anata" (無辜のあな) by Iyowa (いよわ)! this song came out 5 years ago today.

youtube upload | august 16th, 2024.

[Image description: A screenshot from the official music video for "You are Innocent Monster". It depicts an unnamed character looking at the camera. They have short hair and are wearing a hair tie and a short-sleeved shirt. A chunk of their face is covered with a white block that has red handwritten text, which reads the title of the song. The background around them is black, and the rest of the background is colorful and watercolored like, with red being the most prominent. End image description.]

oughhh twomp song ideas save me..........,,,,,

[red-dyed-sarumane]

Adachi Rei?

my absolute fave is picdo's nigoru innocent. i absolutely love the feeling it has going on & i dont think any cover will hit the same way adachi rei does. idk what to say about it i just want to hold it up & make everyone listen to it.

i also like jkp's kochira adachiku kitasenjuu ekimae kansokujo jokyo has some pretty neat songs & this is no exception. enjoyable to listen to. highly recommend.

saikou no uta from the last mushoku toumeisai. i dont have the reveal sheet up to tell u who the producer is rn i will get back to u on that. anyway it has a kind of pretty spacious feel to it. definitely worth a listen to.

[w1f1n1ghtm4r3]

vocaloid producer iyowa owes me financial compensation for the emotional damages his music has put me through this morning ❤️

[theinkchild]

my shittify wrapped

💚💚💚i did it for her 💚💚💚

[cerealandchoccymilk]

was fucking bewildered just now bc i saw someone call r-906 obscure. but then i remembered that 99% of western vocaloid fans' favorite song is world is mine

[knittedbond]

inabakumori consistently one of the best vocaPs out there rn like their style is IMPECCABLE

[project-sekai-facts]

wait how. how many songs did deco do for the movie.

6. one for each unit in collaboration with different producers (tepe vsinger, kemu l/n, iyowa mmj, and while not confirmed presumably giga vbs, surii wxs, and nilfruits n25)

vocaloid 2023

my whole youtube playlist, including numerous songs not listed, can be found here!

as per tradition, here are some of my personal fav songs from 2023 :-) standouts are definitely kyoufuu all back girl by yukopi & hito mania by sasuke haraguchi, not sure if i've seen any other vocaloid songs reach these levels of virality as instantaneously since goodbye sengen!

listing has my favorites towards the top (but the ranking isnt that strict), bolded are my super favorites, & some extra ramblings will be appended at the very end. smiles

2023 standouts :-)

first, my no. 1 top song:

none other than the viral & wonderfully bizarre hito mania by sasuke haraguchi :-) !! its not often that a song as popular as this takes my number one slot! haraguchi has this talent for making sounds that should not ever be used in a song just... work. its so ridiculously catchy that i havent tired of it at all, even with the truly Massive influx of covers/remixes/mads/memes made since. its charm is precisely in just how eccentric, bizzare, and most importantly new it is. its something really fresh to the scene & im looking forward to more of haraguchi's vocalsynth stuff in the future!!

and with that stated, on with the listing!

the awesomeness begins

here are some of my favorite songs out of the more mainstream, or rather more-likely-to-be-recognized, bunch:

(x) | akotoba by sasuke haraguchi ft. miku

i have a dedicated bullet point describing my love for this song at the very bottom of this post LOL

(x) | babel by iyowa ft. teto

(x) | unpoison by sodeno arawa ft. miku

probably the most potent earworm on this list to me

(x) | actress by iyowa ft. hanakuma chifuyu

(x) | anta ni akkanbe by hifumi ft. miku

(x) | shinjinrui by marasy, jin, and kemu ft. rin

(x) | for dear life by niru kajitsu ft. flower

why are you only a minute long stop doing that to your songs you are killing them...

(x) | √ (roots) by minato ft. xingchen

(x) | bouquet garni by niru kajitsu ft. flower

(x) | the exit 8 by eo ft. rin

(x) | passing gazes, overlapping words by frog96 ft. teto

(x) | chilly by yomitan akane ft. teto

(x) | idiotic communication by isonosuke ft. chis-a

this song is like hito mania's beautiful estranged cousin or perhaps sibling to me

(x) | rarehen wa by wanopo ft. rin & len

(x) | self proclaimed angel by kat ft. tsurumaki maki

(x) | ime-chan wants to become a guitar hero by ime44 ft. yuki

(x) | denki youho by inabakumori ft. miku

(x) | honto no by sasuke haraguchi ft. teto

kind of a genius response song to hito mania's immense popularity imo

(x) | frog phenomenon by adeliae ft. kaai yuki

(x) | hito mania remix by camelots ft. teto

you know the remix is good when they sample crazy frog

hidden gem/underrated section

now thisss. is where the really good stuff is hiding.

note: this may include songs that are decently popular but whose producers are less so; or the inverse i.e. producers who are popular but with overlooked songs (meaning this is very subjective!)

(x) | A⇌あ���A by subesakuhin ft. mine laru

an english original subeana styled song! geuninely so obsessed with these lyrics

(x) | chef's kimagure rock by inuha ft. miku

ohhhh. ohhhh. i will cry. i will

(x) | counting sheep by saeki tatsuki ft. miku

(x) | 頼リタイアガール by midluster ft. kanade kanon

(x) | repeated poems by 全て私達の所為にするな。

(x) | final end roll by kinoue64 ft. miku

(x) | eyesight love by xaneiro ft. flower

rambling section

beautiful year for adachi rei & teto enjoyers in my opinion... tetos synthv release really caused such a huge uptick in teto originals & rei is still riding off of that heat abnormal high lol its been wonderful to witness

i promise you i'm surprised only one project voltage song made the list too! i guess i really only enjoyed inabakumori's song. jin's song is in here in spirit too (trans miku + eevee... perfection) but ultimately i'm not the hugest fan of the song itself (it is sooo cute though)

so many songs under two minutes long So so so sad this isn't healthy for them. you have to stop. this is a phenomenon happening across music in general and not specific to vocaloid whatsoever but i think its funniest to blame this on surii

quite a few xx/subeana styled songs made the list this year just bc i got really into exploring the genre!! and my youtube recommendations helped out a lot lol. keeping in true spirit with the genre though a number of them have since been unlisted

i included kyoufuu all back in the introductory paragraph but excluded it from my actual listing and this was not a mistake. i have sadly grown somewhat sick of it. such is the way with immense popularity... it really is a cute song but oh my god is yukopi getting so much damn mileage out of it

iyowa really knocked it out of the ballpark earlier this year with babel & actress those are both soooo so so good. actress in of itself is just a really well executed narrative whereas babel is such a clever song celebrating teto's synthv release (it being a duet between her synthv & utau banks, her drills quite literally as an inverted tower of babel, babel because her synthv bank allows her to sing in multiple languages... a slight copycat of a cynosure madonna!!!)

but mannn synthv releasing Both teto & gumi banks this year, not to mention the kafu announcement??? insane. its like a vocalsynth monopoly up in here

RAMBLING SECTION SOLELY FOR AKOTOBA: what a lovely lovely lovely song. part of its charm for me is the fact that, being a haraguchi song, you go into it expecting it to veer wildly off course or incorporate some sort of bizzare musical twist; but the twist is that there is no twist! its instead just this really pure & beautiful build up to a vibrant & joyful chorus, no tricks. its so celebratory sounding!! & i find it charming how its still obviously a haraguchi song, complete with his signature strangeness (the scream sfx), but tempered into something sooo sweet. the proseka note haraguchi wrote for the song too really melts my heart; i know it was meant to be somewhat humorous but i find something so so so beautiful in the concept of a song made for the first time in a world where music has all but virtually disappeared... im glad that miku + teto + haraguchi are all still alive and well in the year 3023 lol. genius move to have the title be a play on ai kotoba too. genuinely cannot help but break into a wide smile whenever i listen to this song

now with all my praise for haraguchi out of the way, my actual favorite producer of this year has to be.... yukuewat! i found them beginning of january and have been in love ever since. my favorite songs of theirs weren't released in 2023, so they make scant appearances on this list, but they were one of the producers i listened to the most this past year! their tuning is perfection to me, i feel like they occupy this really intrinsic-to-vocalsynth niche where their tuning is both robotic AND emotional; having all the harsh consonants and precisce diction you can only get from a vocalsynth but arrested with emotions that feel organic, despite sounding distinctly nonhuman. that is what vocalsynth is all about to me!!! not to mention their style is both addictively catchy & unique, i don't think i can name another musician off the top of my head who makes music like they do. theyre a huge huge favorite of mine, and with their gradually rising popularity, i hope more ppl come to recognize them soon!!!

and with all that said too, apparently according to youtube music my top artist for 2023 was not yukuewat but asanuko!!! i guess i listened to the speaker song more than i realized lol

if you read all of this i love you with my entire heart

happy anniversary to "Kyuukurarin" (きゅうくらりん) by iyowa (いよわ)! this song came out 3 years ago today.

art by iyowa | youtube upload | august 29th, 2024.

[legendarybeautyprotibalarina]

syo like it was like, there was like a project sekai contest for obscure/new producers to submit a song and it would have a chance of getting a cover in the game? and a bunch of popular producers would remix other songs by the producer who made the song that gets a cover too.

and like the winners were revealed, a lot of the songs were pretty boring predictable future bass/trap/pop rock because sekai song contest. then the producers who were remixing songs by the winners got revealed and they were all producers who had made songs for sekai that corresponded to members of the 2022 april fools shuffle groups? and like one producer in particular got remixes by *luna, wada takeaki, iyowa and rerulili (as in like, the producers who did songs for the members of aoharu/friends even though the song got a vbs cover?).

syo three out of four of those were like, normal about it on their twitters, like just @'ing the producer who they were remixing from and retweeting announcement stuff. but nyot fucking iyowa. nyo IYOWA was like fucking. retweeting completely unrelated posts by that producer and following their account and making (extremely suggestive) fanart of their ocs and everything. nyobody had any fucking idea why iyowa was suddenly obessed with this producer with like under 200 subs on youtube and honesgly it was just weird. they made a song using an utau said producer had made and everything. everyone called this the "iyowa hysteria arc" and everyone felt syo embarrassed to be an iyowa fan

had an absolutely fucking Awful vision last night
