【VOCALOID】Top Featured Songs Picked Up
2nd Place Tin Dance / Hinata Denkou
This month's 1st place goes to the legendary Vocaloid song "Tin Dance," posted in 2013.
Its feature on a TV program was one of the triggers, and it continues to exert an overwhelming presence even now.
The highly addictive lyrics, which can be interpreted as a satire on people, continue to be discovered by new listeners and searched for continuously, even more than 10 years after its release.
Spring of New Beginnings: Latest Trends and Timeless Classics Rank High
In this month's ranking, while top artists like Kenshi Yonezu and King Gnu dominated the upper ranks, many graduation songs such as "Gunjou," "Bokura Mata," "3gatsu 9ka," "Seikai," and "Taisetsu na Mono" also ranked.
In the season of new beginnings, listeners' desire to re-savor the words embedded in songs before a new journey, or to reconfirm lyrics through choral singing or ceremonies, led to a significant increase in searches, representing a "memorable and recorded music experience."
On the other hand, in the Vocaloid scene where countless new songs are born daily, the fact that "Tin Dance," "Senbonzakura," and "Romeo and Cinderella," which were released more than 10 years ago, still hold high positions is noteworthy.
This is not a temporary boom but indicates that the overwhelming passion of these songs has been passed down through generations, establishing them as "standard numbers."
Latest trends originating from social media and songs loved for many years.
It was a dense month packed with the charm of both old and new.
