Songs are arranged from 1-30.



01. 【鏡音リン】ポジポジ【PV付オリジナル】
• Poji Poji [Kagamine Rin]
• by Yoshiya
• Title means "Positive Positive". This is a very simple but very sweet, cheerful song. I like the lightheartedness and the cute illustrations! It's really a pleasure watching this over and over :3.

02. 【GUMI×鏡音レン×神威がくぽ】デッドラインサーカス【オリジナル】
• Deadline Circus [GUMI x Kagamine Len x Gakupo]
• by Last Note.
• I like the mysterious opening to this song as well as how it was different from all of Last Note's songs. It's not strong rock, yet it's a bit dark and creepy at the same time. I think Last Note's very creative with his themes/melodies, and that's how he loops us all in his songs.

03. 【GUMI】 Fairytale, 【オリジナル！】
• Fairytale [GUMI]
• by buzzG
• I really like the beginning of this song because while similar to most buzzG songs, it is distinctly gentler and poignant. I like how the guitars here didn't seem so sharp and was more blended with the bass and drums. The lyrics is just ; _ ; .


04. 【GUMI】完全懲悪ロリィタコンプレックス【オリジナル曲PV】
• Kanzen Chouaku Lolita Complex [GUMI]
• by Kairikibear
• Title means "Complete Punishment Lolita Complex". I don't know anything about the producer, but this is a pretty good rock song. The melody is a bit too common these days, but GUMI's low voice and unhurried singing despite the fast tempo is quite nice.

05. 【鏡音レン】或る化け猫の恋物語【オリジナル曲PV】
• Aru Bakaneko no Koimonogatari [Kagamine Len]
• by Nem
• Title means "That Stupid Cat's Love Story". The rhythm is unmistakably Nem's, isn't it? XD; But this is a darker Len that what we usually heard from Nem.

06. 【初音ミク・鏡音リン】サマーアイドル【オリジナル曲】
• Summer Idol [Hatsune Miku x Kagamine Rin]
• by OSTER Project
• As usual, OSTER Project gives us a cute, jazzy song that's a bit cheesy and cracky at the same time. Very cute ><

07. 【鏡音リン・レン】おおかみは赤ずきんに恋をした【オリジナル】
• Ookami wa Akazukin ni Koi wo shita [Kagamine Rin x Len]
• by HitoshizukuP and Yama△
• ↑09 Title means "The Wolf Fell in Love with Red Riding Hood".

08. 【弱音ハク】ただし性的な意味で【ごめんなさい】
• Tadashi Seiteki na Imi de [Yowane Haku]
• by OwataP
• This is a little softer and gentler than Owata's previous works. I really like how Haku pronounces each syllable here.

09. 【初音ミク】ニャルガクルガ【モンスターハンター】
• Nyarugakuruga [Hatsune Miku]
• by shel-t
• I'm not very familiar with the producer but ffff if this song isn't so addicting! It's like Nyanyanyanyanyan(ry !! all over again.

10. 【GUMI】 カミサマネジマキ 【オリジナル・PV付】
• Kamisama Nejimaki [GUMI]
• by kemu
• ↓01 Title means "Wind-up God".

11. 【初音ミク】キネティック偏愛倶楽部【オリジナル】
• Kinetic Hen'ai Club [Hatsune Miku]
• by Polyphonic Branch
• Title means "Kinetic Favoritism Club". PolyphonicBranch goes back to jazz with this beautiful number. It reminds me too much of Scop because of the bit and wonderful piano, but the rest of the melody, including the tuning, is very much uniquely PB's.

12. 【初音ミク】take it easy【オリジナル曲+PV】
• take it easy [Hatsune Miku]
• by HachioujiP
• This is more cheerful than most of HachioujiP's works, sweet even. The PV is also very cute!

13. 【初音ミク】　マカロン　【オリジナル】
• Macaron [Hatsune Miku]
• by ATOLS
• ATOLS' new work is again inspired by dubstep and is very rich in strong steady beats (you can even watch the PV pulsing) and a myriad of electronic sounds against Miku's low voice.

14. 【IA】チルドレンレコード【オリジナルPV】
• Children Record [IA]
• by Jin
• ↓04

15. 【開発コードmiki】真夜中のステップエンド【オリジナル】
• Mayonaka no Step End [miki]
• by MurabitoP
• Title means "Midnight Step End". MurabitoP is a P who's been gaining quite a lot of popularity these days because of his unique songs. This one is not so unique because of the common genre, but miki's tuning is really good. It's also nice when you listen with earphones because the effects are amazing.

16. 【巡音ルカ】アンサー【オリジナル】
• Answer [Megurine Luka]
• by Dixie Flatline
• ↓05

17. 【GUMI】　j e l L y 【オリジナル曲】
• j e l L y [GUMI]
• by TaP
• ↓02

18. 【巡音ルカ】 hypnoSpirA 【オリジナル】
• Hypnospira [Megurine Luka]
• by MuryokuP
• It's been a while since we heard from MuryokuP and his song this time is quite similar to his previous works: strong, echoey guitars, hauntingly wonderful piano, and dramatic Luka singing.

19. 『初音ミク』千本桜『オリジナル曲PV』
• Senbonzakura [Hatsune Miku]
• by KurousaP
• ↓18 Title means "A Thousand Cherry Blossoms".

20. 【GUMI】†浸蝕ヘマトフィリア†【オリジナル曲PV付】
• Shinshoku Hematophilia [GUMI]
• by LOLI.COM
• Title means "Hematophilia Corruption". It took a while before I learned to like this song because it sounds like almost all of those recent fast-paced rock songs we've been having recently. I think the good thing about it is the witty lyrics, and that wonderful drumming and bass playing.

21. 【弱音ハク】どうせお前らこんな曲が好きなんだろ？【亞北ネル】
• Douse Omaera Konna Kyoku ga Suki Nandarou? [Yowane Haku x Akita Neru]
• by OwataP
• ↓03 Title means "But You Guys Like This Kind of Music, Right?"

22. 【GUMI】　ばいばいスカイブルー　【オリジナル】
• Bye Bye Sky Blue [GUMI]
• by HanatabaP
• ↑27

23. 【GUMI】sleep, sleep, cruel world.【オリジナル】
• sleep, sleep, cruel world [GUMI]
• by LoliP
• LoliP has been getting a lot of attention because of high quality works like this. This is a snappy rock song with angry guitars and sharp high-pitched GUMI. As GUMI is not usually pitched this high, she sounds a bit strained to me, but that is a nice effect against the strong guitar melody.

24. 【GUMI】 地球最後の告白を 【オリジナル・PV付】
• Chikyuu Saigo no Kokuhaku wo [GUMI]
• by kemu
• ↓17 Title means "The World's Last Confession".

25. 【GUMI】セツナトリップ【オリジナル】
• Setsuna Trip [GUMI]
• by Last Note.
• ↓15

26. 【IA】如月アテンション【オリジナルPV】
• Kisaragi Attention [IA]
• by Jin
• ↓25

27. 【IA】六兆年と一夜物語【オリジナル曲・PV付】
• Rokuchounen to Ichiya Monogatari [IA]
• by kemu
• ↓23 Title means "Tale of Six Billion Years and One Night".

28. 【VOCALOID】キューティ・ポップ！第1話【歌ってしゃべるよ】
• Cutie Pop! [Vocaloid]
• by YunimemoP
• This is both a sung and spoken track with a reaaaally cute theme. All those mahou shoujos!

29. 【ボカロ8人】Crazy ∞ nighT【オリジナル】
• Crazy ∞ nighT ~The Lost Libretto~ [group]
• by HitoshizukuP and Yama△
• ↓21

30. 【GUMI 】焔の棟【オリジナル曲】
• Homura no Tou [GUMI]
• by utml
• This is your typical rock song with a lot of emo, echoey guitars reminiscent of past Yuyoyuppe and MuryokuP works. I like how high-pitched GUMI sounds well against the melody, she doesn't sound off or grating.
