Underappreciated or Obscure Songs that You Like?

[Scarlet Illusion]

Is there ever that one (or several, in my case XD) song that you really like but you feel like it needs more love? I know that feel. So, I'm gonna share some songs that I think need more love! Feel free to share some, too! It doesn't matter how many views it does or doesn't have, either.

Onion-P - 13km ft. Sukone Tei

Original

English Sub

From what I understand, this song was pretty popular when it first came out around Tei's inital release (and does have quite a lot of views. Over 100k is definitely something to brag about), but I feel it's kinda faded from popularity and isn't that well known anymore (just like Tei ;-;). (At least in the Western fandom anyways. I'm not active enough in the other parts of the fandom outside of uploading to NND.) It's an adorable original song, which I think is directly related to Tei's characterization of having a crush on Len, but it could just be that the producer wanted write a love song. Either way, the lyrics are adorable as heck.

Owata-P - MagicaRin-Chan Now! ft. Hatsune Miku, Megurine Luka, Kagamine Rin

This song is pretty funny! It's a sequel song to Rin-chan Now and is a goofy song in which Rin becomes a magical girl. Not necessarily something you'd blast in your stereo at full volume, but it's still enjoyable if you're fond of comedic Vocaloid songs!

Lamaze-P Common Sense ft. GUMI

This is a very nice, chill kind of song. I can't find the English translation, but from what I remember, the song has a very positive message about being yourself. It's not as popular as Lamaze's other works, but it's still a high quality composition that needs more love!

Okay, so I didn't end up naming as many songs as I thought I was going to. orz But I hope you enjoy them anyways!

しろうさ(P) feat. Lily "Wine"

くろずみP feat Lily "take.0"

Expus feat. CYBER DIVA "Relapse"

nostraightanswer feat. DAINA "Spectacle"

I have a lot more but they aren't jumping to mind right now/have been deleted from my playlists and I can't find them at the moment.
But here's a few I fancy

 

[peaches2217]

MASA Works Design ft. GUMI / Hatsune Miku - STAR LIGHT

I'm a massive Masa fangirl, but this song is a complete 180 from his normal songs. As such, it doesn't have much notoriety, but it's beautiful.

YUSUKEKIRA FT. CYBER SONGMAN - FIGHTER

I don't know if it counts, being a demo song, but I still adore it.

MOJA P FT. KAGAMINE RIN / LEN - EXILE LOVE SONG

Those harmonies. They're GODLY.

TAKUMARU FT. KAGAMINE LEN / OLIVER - JUST US TWO...

If you scroll through the comments, you'll find mine, where I admit that I was drunk when I first heard this and bawled my eyes out. Vodka and well-tuned OliLen, two of my biggest weaknesses.

MANMES FT. KAGAMINE LEN / OLIVER - Pudding In-suyo

A very laid-back song with a cute and funny video.

DULGUITAR FT. KAMUI GAKUPO / KAGAMINE RIN - SLUMBER

It's pretty, it's cute, it's criminally undiscovered. And that tuning! You'd think this was made with their V4s!

 

[Twillby]

Reactions to previous posts on the off chance anyone wants to read them lol

Ahhh it's been so long since I've heard 13km, I still love it... Glad Magicarin didn't disappoint my expectation of a Madoka ref however short rofl... I got a weird deja vu from Common Sense, I must have come across it a long time ago and forgot.. LILY SONGS!... my husbando Songman always needs more love *tear*

I'd like to toss EXIST by kalic (feat. V3 Lily) in the ring. (I think this is like the third time I've promoted this song on this forum but OH WELL) One of the tags on the upload is literally "needs to be appreciated more" and I just. Yes. At the risk of overselling it, I like it more than most niki songs. I'm sad that they seemed to give up working with Lily to get more views with Miku but hey everyone has different views/goals who am I to say. any rate it seemed to work

Also Miracle Worker by IrisFlower (feat Luka V4X ENG)??? It's such a nice song with a positive message worth all the love. I've been working on a Ruby cover since uh... forever ago rip

YUSUKEKIRA FT. CYBER SONGMAN - FIGHTER

I don't know if it counts, being a demo song, but I still adore it.

You literally just changed my whole perspective on Cyber Songman with this song, thank you. XD His voice is great!

 

[___]

I think Caged Baby Dragon is underappreciated. It has such chilling melancholic atmosphere. I would link to the original but all the links seem to be dead :(


Also idk how to put it into a spoiler sorry!

Also idk how to put it into a spoiler sorry!

It's one of the options under the "..." button in the post editor.

I don't pay too much attention to how many views songs have gotten, but I like "Koi no Melody" by AuraQualic!

Thank you!

 

[Blue Of Mind]

I have all sorts of more obscure Vocaloid songs on both my YouTube playlist and on my computer, so a list would take me all day to complete. But this Miriam song suddenly sprung to mind when I saw this thread. (Engloid songs tend to get lost on YT and Niconico as it is though.)

 

[___]

With the mention of Miriam I was reminded of this one producer who uses her and of this song they made with Momo and Defoko ( I think the engrish kinda fits the song?? They sound kinda cute!). I would say it's pretty underrated.

【Momone Momo ● Defoko】 Meteor Sighting 【UTAU Original】

 

[Caprice]

Generally a lot of this producer's stuff, but especially this one.

Big Void ft. Sweet ANN and TONIO - In My Mother's Arms

 

[cafenurse]

I've come back with more songs to share, all under 100,000 views as of now, but I love them all a lot

Synthetic Girl

Mechanical Lifeform

In My Head

Sleepwalker

Pressing Buttons

Kaleidoscope Haze Cold Rain

 

[nalondollie]

I wanted to share some too! These are from my most recent yt playlist

State of Locomotion by Party-P ft. Cyber Diva & Cyber Songman

Time Capsule by 人間合格- ft. Yufu Sekka

Vessel by ノーリュ ft. Kagamine Rin

Flashback by MusicalRaichu ft. Meiko

Rainy Baby (2020 English ver.) by ShiNOder ft. Kaito

 

[mochagatari]

I have a few!

ZUNDA by ZANIO ft. Tohoku Zunko

Honey Yellow by Torero ft. VOCALOIDs

Space Hero by Party-P ft. Kagamine Rin

Zettai Tropical by N.B.W. ft. Yumemi Nemu

Little Bit, Adult Hit by lumo ft. Hatsune Miku

 

[Vegetaljuce]

My all-time favorite vocaloid song is actually one that has never surpassed 6,000 views on any platform. Unfortunately the producer has deleted all his accounts now, but there's still a reprint of the song on youtube.

Metaphysical Preference (Edgar Lovecraft ft. Hatsune Miku)

 

[peaches2217]

This is one of the few uses of both IA and Yukari that I really like. It's such a beautiful song, though given who it's by, that's a given!

言葉で戦うということ - Kasamura Toota ft. IA/Yukari

(I also love this one, though I'm not sure if it's "obscure", as it's nearing half a million views on YouTube.)

世界中で一番 - Kasamura Toota ft. Hatsune Miku

 

[Maribelle]

This is from one of my favorite producers ANGL they don't seem to get that much attention but they use VY1 a lot so thats a win in my book

【VY1V4】煮沸消独【オリジナル】 ANGL

 

[Katastrophe]

I'm also currently a little obsessed with an ANGL song, but it's this recent one with Len. It goes really hard and I like it because I haven't heard a song like that in a while. It really needs more views.

偽喰のレストラン by ANGL feat. Kagamine Len

I also like this electroswing Miku song by ao_wifi.

JokerBoy by ao_wifi feat. Hatsune Miku

I wouldn't exactly call this next one obscure cuz it has a healthy amount of views/appreciation from the Japanese side of the fandom, but I think the English-speaking fandom should give it a bit more love because of how catchy it sounds. (I'll even throw in a subbed video for it)

Penguin's Detour by Hayashida feat. Hatsune Miku ( + Magenetra Eng Subs)

Same situation for this one. Unfortunately, the only subbed video for this was taken down. :c It still sounds great though, with its classic 40mP style and Miku tuning. Please notice it, English-speaking fandom!

Sunset Studio by 40mP feat. Hatsune Miku

I don't know if I should call this obscure since it literally just dropped two days ago, but I'm promoing it anyway. It's a MikuMei duet by Dobuno Awa with a catchy beat, interesting meta theme, and terrifying-as-hell PV. (It's also CC subbed!)

Epilepsy Warning for the PV: Glitch effects, Flashing Lights

I'm MK But by Dobuno Awa feat. MEIKO, Hatsune Miku (EPILEPSY WARNING)

 

[haru0l]

I've been listening to this song a lot recently, thanks to Show by Rock!

【IA×巡音ルカ】アッパーチューン【オリジナル】

 

[REDD]

I have a looot of songs i could put here, but the first one that comes to mind is:

【鏡音リン】全力Lady 全開Honey(Full ver.)-修正版-【オリジナル曲】

DaifukuP mostly works with Engloids, but he makes really cool stuff with J-loids too!
I hear he's kinda moved on to producing non-Voca stuff lately though. (i wish he'd come back so baaad aughghh)
Tbh the stuff he's made with Leon are among my faves from him, but out of all the ones hes made with J-loids, this particular song
has been stuck in my head for the past few days now.
