The 21st century: flying cars, robot maids, and computer programs that can sing. So far, mankind has only brought to reality one of those three. I'm a bit late to the party, but I've really gotten hooked on Vocaloid. So here's my top 10 songs across the 4 character voices released.
10) Black Rock Shooter
Hatsune Miku
The first song from ryo / supercell on this list. It won't be the last. I mean, what can I say? He's continually the best when it comes to Vocaloid, taking 7, 4, and 1 on this list too.
9) The Last Queen
Megurine Luka
I like Ali Project. Do you like Ali Project? If not, feel free to skip down to number 8. But if you're a fan of that group just like me, then this track is simply too cool. The song nails the sound and flow of the group.
8) The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku
Hatsune Miku
For a song as crazy fast as this one, it has a surprisingly good flow. The lyrics also play nicely into the theme of Hatsune Miku as an actual software entity / AI. This track manages to make cohesive a song that no human could ever naturally sing, which is also neat.
7) World Is Mine
Hatsune Miku
Apparently, even software woman are a pain to deal with! I'll just say that Miku is being "playful" here.
6) Spice!
Kagamine Len
What a player... and a sicko! Nevertheless, this is a pretty smooth song courtesy of Len. The shortened "music video" that was made for this track adds some points, even though it really shouldn't. I can't deny that it affects how I think of the song.
5) Rip=Release
Megurine Luka
Supposedly a payback song from Luka after Len played her -- and other girls -- in Spice. Well, it's not like I can understand the moon-speak; I just love the sound of the song.
4) Melt
Hatsune Miku
Great song. One of the first Miku hits, courtesy the always spectacular Supercell and ryo. But I can't help but mention the video once again. This time it's the surprise 2D Miku animation at the end, compliments Gonzo.
3) Stardust Utopia
Megurine Luka
Luka sounds like a mature woman here. My lack of music lingo and overall comprehension means I can't quite describe the nature of the track. I'll just say that it's really good and leave it at that.
2) Meltdown
Kagamine Rin
It's hard to pin down what I like so much about this song. All I can say is that it was one of my favorites right from the first time I ever listened to the track.
1) Love Is War
Hatsune Miku
I love the energy. I love that scream at the beginning. The hook is just amazing.
So, what are your favorite Vocaloid songs? Also, what are some of your favorite lesser known tracks?
1 Kairu Ishimaru
Havent you heard Shoushitsu Deadend yet? It would be on my top 1 if I have a list of my top 10 tracks..
And oh, shame on you for not having 'Miku Miku ni Shite Ageru' on your list.
Re Michael is LoHP
@ Kairu Ishimaru
Shoushitsu Deadend is right there on the list at number 8. The full name of the track is Hatsune Miku no Shoushitsu -DEAD END- which translates into The Disappeance of Hatsune Miku -DEAD END-. I just left the "dead end" off...
Miku Miku ni Shite Ageru is sort of catchy in its own right, but I don't think it is anywhere near as good a song as the ones on this list.
2 Digital Boy
If you hang out on fuzakenna TV, you'll almost constantly run into HAtsune Miku songs, lol. I'm a HUGE fan. You should watch the 'Nebula' video, ungodly great animation. I love all of her stuff, no particlar favorite, but if I had to pick, Black Rock Shooter.
3 Ferilonchia
Great top 10. I agree with almost all :D
I think that it'd be good to put a bonus track xD
Something like Regret Song of Kagamine Rin & Len, or Cendrillon is a good one too, but well... it's just my opinion ^^
Re Michael is LoHP
@ Digital Boy
Yo, I've checked out fuzakenna TV before. I think you were asleep and I never got to see if my question was answered: Is there any way to find the title of what's playing at any given time?
@ Ferilonchia
lol, I actually had a bonus track and forgot to upload the link and text to the database! It's Kurutto, Odotte, Hatsune Miku:
"This entry has nothing to do with the song (or songs). The video is simply too cute. Nendoroid Miku is adorable! The entire production is fantastic too. And the video throws in some Caramelldansen as the icing on the cake."

@ Michael
Kyaa~! It's so cute... xD
Good choice of bonus track ^^
Re Michael is LoHP
@ Ferilonchia
Isn't it adorable! Love the > < eyes. All of Miku's motions are cute, and I love when she spins out of control. And until only just recently (I first saw this video a while ago), I had never noticed the bandage on the back of her head during Caramelldansen. Nice attention to detail.
