Songs are arranged from 1-30.

01. 【GUMI(40㍍)】春に一番近い街【オリジナルPV】
• Haru ni Ichiban Chikai [GUMI]
• by 40mP
• ↑02

02. 【初音ミク】トリノコシティ【カバー曲】
• Torinoko City [Hatsune Miku]
• by Dixie Flatline
This is Dixie Flatline's cover of 40mP's Torinoko City. This arrangement is featured in an upcoming album Utaite Concept Album adeyaka where it is sung by Ten. The arrangement is jazzy and pleasant to the ears.

03. 【鏡音リン】レアノ【オリジナル】
• Reano [Kagamine Rin]
• by PinocchioP

04. 【オリジナル曲】プロパガンダ　　カラスヤサボウfeat.鏡音リン
• Propaganda [Kagamine Rin]
• by Karasu Yasabou
• There's some controversy surrounding this video regarding its lyrics/message and Karasu Yasabou's opinion on the Vocalo scene. He also said that he is stopping with his Vocalo activities (source). I'm sad to hear this :(, regardless this song is pretty awesome, and Rin's English is nice!

05. 【ルカミクグミ】一心不乱【オリジナル】
• Isshin Furan [Megurine Luka x Hatsune Miku x GUMI]
• by Umetora (umedy)
• ↵ A kinda funky song, in a good way. Incredibly catchy XD.

06. 【巡音ルカ】 Sweet Sweet Cendrillon Drug 【uz×無力P】
• Sweet Sweet Cendrillon Drug [Megurine Luka]
• by MuryokuP
• This is MuryokuP's remix of uzP's Hatsune Miku original Sweet Sweet Cendrillon Drug. This arrangement is much more grandiose compared to the original. It's a bit on the noisy side for me, but MuryokuP's use of pianos and operatic chanting is awe inspiring.

07. [初音ミクAppend] 単色少女 [オリジナル]
• Monochro Shoujo [Hatsune Miku Append]
• by Tomb
• While the kanji is directly read as "Tanshouku Shoujo", the title is read as "Monochro Shoujo". Miku's tuning is a bit too muffled for me, but the staccato guitars are really cool *-*. This is also a breakout hit.

08. 【GUMI】My Colorful Confuse【オリジナル曲】
• My Colorful Confuse [GUMI]
• by IenourademanbougashinderuP
• • ↓1 As with most ManbouP songs... wtf.

09. 【 IA 】現実的論理主義者【オリジナル】
• Genjitsu Teki Ronri Shugisha [IA]
• by Gouboumen
• Loving this song *-* This is a breakout hit from Gouboumen. IA's tuning is crisp and not flat, and the song's catchy. Looping now.

10. 【鏡音リン・レン】Astral Domination【オリジナルPV】
• Astral Domination [Kagamine Rin x Kagamine Len]
• by Yamaji (ChiroP)
• A heavy fast-paced rock song reminscent of Neru with awesome guitars. In fact Yamaji was the lead guitarist for Neru's Abstract Nonsense.

11. 【初音ミク】トウメイショウジョ【オリジナル曲PV】
• Toumei Shoujo [Hatsune Miku]
• by Yuzuhiko
• The title means "Transparent Girl"

12. 【初音ミク】空中遊泳【オリジナル曲】
• Kuuchuu Yuuei [Hatsune Miku]
• by kevin mitsunaga
• This song is by kevin mitsunaga (Leggysalad), who is also in a unit called "fhána" with yuxuki waga. It has very ethereal and dreamy characteristics. The intentional choppyness of the vocals has a cool effect and reminds me of his remix of Oval.

13. 【鏡音リン】狐ノ嫁入リ【オリジナル曲】
• Kitsune no Yomeiri [Kagamine Rin]
• by OSTER Project

14. 【初音ミク・巡音ルカ】アカツキアライヴァル【オリジナル】
• Akatsuki Arrival [Hatsune Miku x Megurine Luka]
• by Last Note.
• ↓4

15. 谺、碧海、那由多を見定むアグラフォノスの詩篇／feat. GUMI
• Kodama, Hekikai, Nayuta wo Misadamu Aglaophonos no Shihen [GUMI]
• by Neru & Zauny
• Wow. This is quite different from most Neru songs, instead of a frentic Kagamine rock tune, it's a ethnic song style GUMI song! The style is more remiscent of co-writter/arranger by Zauny, a lesser known producer. I didn't even recognize GUMI at first, her tuning is quite unique. It also features a made-up language dubbed by fans as "Neru-go". The serifu is by 000.

16. 『初音ミク』千本桜『オリジナル曲PV』
• Senbonzakura [Hatsune Miku]
• by Kurousa
• ↓12 Yup. Still hanging there!

17. 【初音ミク】二次元ドリームフィーバー【オリジナル】

• by PolyphonicBranch
• ↓11 Title means "2D Dream Fever".

18. 【初音ミク】Contrail【オリジナル曲】
• Contrail [Hatsune Miku]
• by yuxuki waga
• This is one of of my favorite songs from yuxuki waga's "Light Falls" album. So fuwafuwa and pretty >w<

19. 【初音ミク】ろりこんでよかった～【フルver.PV】おじりなる(*´ω｀*)
• Lolicon de Yokatta~ [Hatsune Miku]
• by Takebo3

20. 【巡音ルカ】今日もボクは生きるのです。【GUMI】
• Kyou mo Boku wa Ikiru no desu. [Megurine Luka x GUMI]

• Wasn't expecting a lullaby-like song from OwataP XD

21. 【GUMI】Case2ndman【オリジナル曲】
• Case2ndman [GUMI]
