#underrated vocaloid producers

[psychofreak-p]

RILL COSPLAY🐰

i'm cosplaying his outfit from the BLOODY BUNNY pv!

(character belongs to impostor-p, they're hella underrated)

[communist-hatsunemiku]

Some artists do this thing where they release a snippet of each song and this one is making me gd crazy. I'm so excited. Clean Tears was one of the first producers I really got into and I still love him and his music has really evolved

[denpadokei]

I’m clearly struggling to post (including updating the Ben theory and work on mikuexpost. I don’t know when anything is happening I’ll be honest I wanted to get miku expost out before the last live but it doesn’t say it’s gonna be streamed anywhere as far as I’m aware? So like if there’s new info how am I even going to get it. Current goal is the tenth but you know what I’m like. I ought to be publicly shamed and like punish myself honestly hate me hate me hate me so much Mikage should stop hating herself and hate me instead)

I think I’m gonna have an EARLY NIGHT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 LIKE A PIKMIN 💖💖💖💖💖 LETS GO GAMERS but I do need to post something so I looked in my old Gohan channel and found this which could be of some use to someone

This art on its own is SO helpful to me I hope the rest of the fandom agrees that this was the Gohan map before we had the Gohan map.

poits;

OH YEAH A REALLY COOL THING I’ve theorised that right in the middle where photon and Chikyuu wo ageru is marks the point where Gohan started creating stories and writing a full canon for his music. I don’t have any proof for that but I like it a lot. I thought every character and their individual lore before that point was just him making vent songs and the similar themes and places in the lyrics is just him talking about his life and using the same metaphors. BEN especially might have no overarching cannon, if it does I don’t think we’re supposed to know it, aside from blue girl coming to the meltyland, that’s why she’s in the middle it’s like the turning point. I think now in hindsight he’s kinda fitting stuff together and putting lore where lore could have been, relating it to what he has built now too, kinda because it’s just already very possible. We know the meltyland existed first ages and neon nocturne might only talk about it because it is gohan’s metaphor for an experience or something. I feel like everything he makes is, also just look at meltyland nightmare like that’s so real I mean come on. Chikyuu wo ageru being in that spot might represent how she has no overarching lore (even she is more to the left side, rather then being with closer to the other NTD songs where she was released). It could be like, spoken from Gohan himself, like answer, like it’s meta it’s a reflection on his music itself. We can still make BEN theories though, I think he’s still trying to use it for a story in some way and I want to at least figure that bit out. We should just make sure not to be confused by it since I don’t think it’s supposed to make sense for us + it’s quite old now + things have probably been retconned + one of the narrators is an amnesiac and also clueless can’t trust blue girl it’s okay.

The ONLY expectation to this silly theory IS GOD DAMN POKAPOKA NO HOSHI MIKU. POSSIBLY MY FAVOURITE HARUGO SONG EVER. CRAZY. Like SHE CANT HAVE LORE???? I have seen that she’s her own planet and if it turns out Gohan cared enough to give her lore I’m going to cry so much I love o just I so happy I mmm miku snow love happy smile beautiful beautiful UTSUKUSHI NO SA WARAU NO-

With that being said. Empurple has lore. BUT MIKU ISNT A GOHAN OC UNLESS UNKESS SHE IS OH WOW WOAH WIWIOWOWOWO

I think I once said that any character who isn’t in this picture that existed before it is probably the same person as someone else in this picture (looks at you blue girl)

Look Atmos is a different girl entirely look guys look

However like, I still believe ame wa and Halley are the same person too- but like in that case it doesn’t really matter(actually I’m just a hypocrite)

I wonder why dreamless is in child form here

I LOVE YOU DENPADOKEI I OOVE YOU SO MUCH I can’t express it enough I wish I could aaaaaaaaaaaaaa my heart

I LOVE YOU LAST LIGHT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH look at that big dumb dork (affectionate) of course I had to put her in the BEN lore. Can’t remember if she was confirmed to be a separate thing in space now though uh (don’t spoil me)

I like to think about what the left side (apart from Halley and ame wa) do and whether or not it has any relation to my assumed BEN lore or any current lore at all. I could spend a lot of time coming up with baseless headcannons for all of them but from what I already have uhhhh. ILost is Atmos’s sister because I see them both as grumpy. And 22nd and Last study space together. I think they’re all on the blue planet planet. Karudene and Tender are probably related. Denpadokei headcannons will be a special thing to me so I’m waiting for a special time.

I love the way dango looks here. I also love how aster has no lower half.

Wavy is suspiciously close to Urara…

USAGI IS SO SMALL 🥺🥺🥺

Nothing to do with this but I really hope Daireijo is confirmed an adult somewhere so I can be down bad for her. I have to stop myself every time. Dorothy too. They have nice bodies I just I sure hope they aren’t children! I wanna write Daireijo and Dorothy fluff AND not too smutty smut because I’m civil and it’s also harumaki gohan.

Owh I’ve been reminded of my theory that gender constructs don’t exist in the whole harugo universe abd that half the characters have Amal bodies but there’s just no such thing as boys or boyish things omgggggg and I was gonna pick out which ones I thought were like that oooooooh good post idea

I have tomorrow’s post sorted. I made a fun discovery today…

Maybe I’ll finish my BEN post today actually I’m kinda on a Gohan high atm

[strifesolution]

shoutout to tart songs gotta be one of my favorite genders

[goldensunset]

the fact that kikuo is currently not only releasing new music but also uploading old songs and giving them official mvs on the main channel at last has me so happy... the new stuff is great and the old long-forgotten bangers are gaining new recognition so i'm like. ok keep this trend up and give us official mvs for more of these songs please keep going i'm tired of being one of like five people who appreciate a given song

[cogiimyunna]

lonepi being underrated is a crime wdym a song she made 4 years ago only has ~20k views on yt??? and its a good song too???

[scummrevisited]

can you guys all listen to gomen nasai ga Ienakute's songs for me thank you

[mushroomjar]

Btw I'm still working on this, I've been working on it nearly every single day since I made this post. It's going to be one of the longest playlists I've ever made because every time I'm almost done listening to songs and deciding whether to add them or not to the playlist, I end up finding like 20 new songs to check out (literally today I thought I was going to be done listening to all the songs I had written down, and then I found some more playlists and wrote down like 27 new possible entries). Just know I have not forgotten about this and I will post the playlist once I'm finally done with it! (And yes I will be done with it, I promise I'll have it before Halloween)

In case you're curious, so far the playlist has 85 songs. I wasn't kidding, it's gonna be a really long one

Okay, Halloween is still a month or so away, but I've been working on my vocaloid Halloween playlist for three weeks already, so I figure it's okay to post this now: if you have any song suggestions for a vocaloid Halloween playlist, pleeease leave them in the notes of this post and I'll love you forever (they don't have to be specifically vocaloid, they can be other vocal synthesizers)

The songs can be either about Halloween or just generally scary/creepy/horror songs, and they can be either light-hearted and upbeat or dark and disturbing (I had the idea to make the playlist start with cute/upbeat songs and have the songs get scarier and darker in nature the further down the playlist you go)

The post officially ends here but in case you're interested I'll put a list under the read more of some of the songs that are definitely going in the playlist, in case it helps you know/decide what songs to suggest^.^ Thank you!!

Mrs. Pumpkin's Comical Dream - hachi

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) | a mysterious call by r-906 ft. rose & popy

(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

(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

warning for intense glitching/flashing throughout this mv!

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

[kaiyax1]

one of the most underrated vocaloid producers imo

So some people might disagree but mothy/akuno p is criminally underrated, yes he has some popular songs like the sinners songs but he’s made so many amazing songs that unfortunately aren’t as popular as some. Some examples I can think of is “moonlit bear” “survival ma” “capriccio farce” (which is my fav EVILLIOUS song), “wordplay” and so much more. Mothy is legit so talented this dude made an amazing story and the sad thing is how small the community is. I’m glad project sekai had the collab with mothy because without it I wouldn’t have learned about evillious. I do also wanna say that you don’t have to know the story to enjoy the music, the songs are amazing even without context and that’s what I love about evillious. Also this is kinda random but I think we should stop calling rabbit hole and plus boy the must inappropriate songs cause flows of the plateau literally shows parts. And they ain’t censored. I just think it’s so sad how dang underrated mothy is, you look at songs like daughter of evil and it has so many views but other songs mothy has written compared to that have like none. I could actually rant for hours about how underrated he is I love his music so much y’all.

[nazbruhh]

*it's not fully confirmed, I found it on Twitter*

There are rumors that Project Diva (vocaloid rhythm game), is officially ending.

While this is indeed really sad af, now people start to completely despise Project sekai, thinking that THIS game is the reason why "Vocaloids are falling down" or project diva dying bc of Sekai.

I do agree that what's happening with Project diva is terrible, but like...

When you say that Sekai is ruining vocaloid community, this is where you're completely wrong (at least in my opinion), so many popular producers, even underrated producers, EVEN THOSE PRODUCERS WHO WEREN'T ACTIVE FOR YEARS Come create songs for Sekai and get more attention and love from their songs.

Not to mention, I learned about Vocaloids's existence, songs and its history THANKS TO PJSEKAI.

Yeah being a pjsekai player really is terrible at this point....just let us enjoy the damn game for once
