As another year has drawn to a close, it’s time to review my picks for the best albums from the Vocaloid scene in 2019. There’s been no shortage of excellent Vocaloid music in 2919, and 2020 is already starting to look promising, so there’s a lot to be excited about! Before I get started, I […]
2018 has been another great year for music, including Vocaloid. It’s been so good, in fact, that I’ve expanded my list from “top 5” to “top 10”! A lot of well-established and popular producers kept good material flowing this year and a few promising debuts also popped up. You know how these lists work, so […]
It’s time to take a look at the newest release from Nayutan Alien, Object Z from Star Nayutan. They probably need no introduction, but for those that may not know, Nayutan is one of the biggest names to come out of the Vocaloid scene in recent years. Object Z is their 3rd original album since […]
Hello MikuDB! Today I’ll be reviewing the latest release from Yunosuke, Fiction. I’ve been following Yunosuke closely since Pathos made waves in 2016. Last year’s Black or White was a great follow-up, and both were in my top albums of each year. Unfortunately, I don’t think this one stacks up quite as well. The first […]
With over 3 million views on YouTube and over 1 million on NND in under a week, it’s likely you’ve heard of Hachi’s new song, “Suna no Wakusei” (砂の惑星), or “Sand Planet.” Created as the theme song for Magical Mirai 2017, Sand Planet is (as far as I can tell) the first Vocaloid song Hachi has […]
In the West, the Vocaloid community has remained a niche market, even as it has grown over the years. I can’t speak for other regions, but I gather that the situation is at least similar in most places that aren’t Japan. Although Hatsune Miku’s image and name are known amongst some anime fans and nerdy […]
Hello MikuDB! 2-6 minute songs are what we’re all familiar and comfortable with. It’s a good length for our attention spans and standard song structure, but sometimes it’s nice to sit down with a nice long composition that really takes you away. I’m talking about looong songs. 10 minutes and over probably counts as long, but […]
Hello everyone, I’m hwiseph, and I’m a new addition to the Mikudb.moe community! I wanted to start out this article by talking about the songs that piqued my interest into Vocaloid. Surprisingly enough, Hatsune Miku and her iconic leek weren’t the things that attracted me to Vocaloid, but it was the duets, trios, quartets, basically […]
Well, It’s been a while, everyone. Apologies for my sudden disappearance, but I should be on here more often now. Anyways, as Halloween is edging closer and closer, I thought we should spend some time looking at the creepier side of Vocaloid. So let’s get started! I’ll leave hyperlinks to all of the songs, so […]
In the distant past of November 2015, Nayutan Alien released their debut record. A catchy rock effort with a lot of electronic-style influences. This album is like is like a Pengolin. It’s got scales and it’s a great pleasure to consume, and it’s a shame lots of people don’t even know this exists. You can read more […]
Greetings everyone! I’m starting a series of articles where I talk about some of my favorite vocaloids and songs that feature them. My current plan is to cover GUMI, Yuzuki Yukari, VY1, and of course, Miku. Introduction So for whatever reason, GUMI has to be my absolute favorite vocaloid. I love her design, I love […]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfEL0RJ4jOQ Welcome to the weekly but not at all video/song showcase, as this week we have Deja Vu by the one and only Circus-P. This article segment is a once a week, anyone can recomend me a song/video, which sometimes I resort to the yee ol recommended bar on YouTube. I always try to listen […]

This time around we’ll be trying out something heavier, so boost your volumes and prepare to head bang, cuz we’ll be reviewing a Yuppe album!! check him out: here Been listening to this one more often among his other works, and I have to say, finding and downloading his works was […]
The album Do Vocaloids Dream of Doomsday Birds? by sasakure.UK is no doubt an excellent classic Vocaloid album. If you haven’t heard it, do yourself a favor and listen to it now. One of my favorite songs from this album is “For Campanella“, sung by GUMI (lyrics). It’s a simple song with a catchy yet somber […]
The 53rd album is a continuation from the 52nd album. Oh, and my apologies on being late on this review. I had too many things on my hands and it’s hard to keep up with life. (Not to mention I’m doing this voluntarily…) So yeah, there’s that, now let’s get on with it. I’ll be […]
Hello MikuDB! Today, I’ll be reviewing PAST OF BLACK, the second full album by Solaris (or Virgin Noize). I ran into Solaris’ work months ago, hearing the single off of this album, “Tafel Anatomie”. The track had me interested in hearing more, but I didn’t get a hold of this full album until now. It’s been a […]
Hey again! Petridisch here again with another review of a classic Vocaloid release. This time we’re gonna check out (more like gloss over though, you’ll see) the debut LP by ryo, working as supercell. This one contains nearly all true classics, including the tacitly agreed Miku anthem “The World is Mine”, “Love is War”, “Heartbreaker”, […]
Hello and Good day everyone, Seaslug here with an album review and today, we’ll be taking a closer look at a shoegaze album from moff-P! Title: High Collar Record Producer: moffuP/もっふーP/moff Genre: Shoegaze Some of You might wonder what “Shoegaze” is, it’s a fairly uncommon genre to stumble upon even for most Vocaloid listeners. Shoegaze can be defined […]
