[Vocaloid] Top Featured Songs Pickup

2nd Place: Buriki no Dance / Hinata Electric Works

Taking 1st place this month is the legendary Vocaloid song "Buriki no Dance," posted in 2013.

Being featured on a television program was one trigger, and it continues to emit an overwhelming presence even now.

The highly addictive lyrics, which can be taken as a satire on people, continue to be discovered by new listeners and consistently searched for even now, more than 10 years after its release.

Spring of Departure: Latest Trends and Timeless Masterpieces Rank In

In this month's ranking, while top artists like Kenshi Yonezu and King Gnu occupy the upper ranks, numerous graduation songs such as "Gunjou," "Bokura Mata," "Sangatsu Kokonoka," "Seikai," and "Taisetsunamono" ranked in.

In this season of departure, the "music experience that remains in memory and records" — where listeners want to reflect once again on the words embedded in songs before embarking on a new journey, or reaffirm the lyrics through choruses and ceremonies — has led to a significant rise in the number of searches.

On the other hand, in the Vocaloid scene where countless new songs are born every day, it is worth noting that "Buriki no Dance," "Senbonzakura," and "Romeo and Cinderella," which have passed more than 10 years since their release, still hold spots in the top ranks.

This is not a temporary boom, but a testament to the overwhelming passion of the songs being passed down across generations and firmly established as "standard numbers."

The latest trends originating from social media and songs that have been loved for many years.

It was a dense month packed tightly with the charm of both the old and the new.
