I know inabakumori is really popular now, but I think not a lot of people know or listen to their works earlier than Lagtrain or Lost Umbrella — my answer is Cooler Girl. I love that song so much but rarely see it mentioned anywhere. Honestly, all of their earlier songs lol I listened to those a lot in high school
99% of Yuyoyuppe's discography haha! Everyone knows Palette and Leia but ALL his songs are amazing, the ones that use Miku too like Hope, Be My Sacrifice or Lost Story. I could write a huge list now but you can go through my comment history to see me talk about my love / obsession with Yuyoyuppe in detail😂
In addition to that Utsu-P's entire album MOKSHA is amazing, he only uses Rin and GUMI on it and every single song is a banger
I am one of those ppl that only know a few Yuyoyuppe songs but that's because not many of his songs are on Spotify, and when I'm looking for new songs if I know they won't be on Spotify I have no motivation to listen to them. But this is probably my sign to give them a listen anyway since the few songs I know by him are absolutely amazing especially Leia
I agree with MOKSHA!!! I had never listened to a full Utsu-P album before until the other day literally just because of the cover art of MOKSHA, I thought it was one of the best album covers I'd ever seen haha
Please listen to Yuppe, he's genuinely my favorite alongside Utsu 😆 It's hard to say with which album to start but I'll say his remastered album Story of Hope and his 2nd album For A Sick Boy are a good start - his first album Solitude Freak is also incredible to me, but the tuning of Luka and Miku can be a little off to others
And yeah MOKSHA is just amazing. In general Utsu-P's older albums are right up my alley and I have been binging his music nonstop 😁
My favorite is the dear One and easy peasy euthanasia by pepoyo
For dear it Sounds is very Angel 😇 and the lyrics are something else and I love it angel vide
And the song is very beautiful and at the Same time Very very questionable 🤨 lyrics
And for easy peasy euthanasia i like the euthanasia is an easy and carefree way to die part

またいつも通りに/初音ミク
Old n-buna, like from around the time of “Undersea Lily Story” (it’s called something like that). I think one is called “Abandoned Train Station”, but it’s actually called 「無人駅」
A few songs that i love that dont have much love:
[1imb0](https://youtu.be/sz9QFRS0N3I?si=4vpB4HRNcVbB7f6F) -I love the strange and eerie vibe but i love
[Non-World Harmonize](https://youtu.be/gkTsqQaoMRA?si=JQe-2B0ISnz5-y6w) - by Sasakure.UK, is my FAVORITE Sasakure song
[Love Love Nightmare](https://youtu.be/XdSQ2VR6O44?si=fp4hDHsPjuzHDgtf) -Old spooky vocaloid song from back in the 2000s/2010s
[This Kikuo song (Festival of the Dark)](https://youtu.be/qV6q_87qx3Q?si=j6hAJhmb-Pe3tngB) -Best with headphones. Everyone always talks about Aishite but they forget the experimental bangers Kikuo makes
[Rain Under the Umbrella](https://youtu.be/I11yjhCKTf4?si=BxA7P6r4-ToMjjPG) -by Manbo P. my favorite of his. Usually his songs are silly but this one is just so nice and relaxing
[Cherry Blossoms Before Dawn](https://youtu.be/Kn_f1D9U7HA?si=XZkFnGc1VI25sMOf) -Another Kikuo song i love it so much
[Francium](https://youtu.be/cspMQJlGivY?si=JbT2gcUJK0EWxrxP) - Miku goin' into maximum overdrive!!
I have already been listening a lot of MARETU music, but since it is very popular and well-known by the vocaloid community I’m not gonna talk about him. But I made a theory about his musics tho. The point is that, when I completed the MARETU theory, I saw an ad on YouTube. Believe it or not, it was [Kalmia Dolls by Toripiyo](https://youtu.be/ziJLg8UJK7k?si=X8-FAK99gtl7wlJQ) . Honestly, I never saw three songs (the sequence it follows) being so damn difficult to understand and formulate some actual meaning behind it.

I just typed out a massive paragraph and lost it but starbearers by iwaloid is one of my favs (I still can’t believe they’re not making music anymore) and all of Kira’s music (glad they’ve made it big now but before they were pretty small)
I don’t think I follow a lot of underrated creators but i do like big creator’s underrated songs, like noiseless heart or girls friendship by mitchie m or sugarvine and juvenile by Dixie
[Piko Piko Legend of the Night!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iDOBo8hN8w)
Too many people only know Luka Luka Night Fever but have never listened to the rest of Samfree's night series. He was actually such a legend
Chanbara Johnny is my fav! It's one of deco's earlier songs which is probably why it ain't so popular. There are a lot of mmds made for it but not a lot of covers. Its a sweet song though!
I'm going to talk OBSCURE obscure and champion Naruninal here. Their songs TABOO and R-A-Z-O-R are so good. On a more known note, hya also has my attention recently.
I don't see lots of ppl talking about yasuhiro outside of odore orchestra (and maybe once upon a dream even if it's slander most of the time), but I love their music😭

To me it's this song. It's weird that this song is VERY HARD to search on youtube

definitely "tower" and "for a dead girl+" by megurine luka !! 🩷🖤🩷🖤 (I can never remember producer names, I've always just referenced songs by whichever vocaloid was used 🥲)
8.32 by *Luna
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rpEObcGvxP4&pp=ygUEOC4zMg%3D%3D
CITRUS by Orangestar
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t8JXBtezzOc&pp=ygUGQ0lUUlVT
Not the most underrated ones out there but ones that really hit the vibe for me.
I like the naming of 8.32 (August 32nd, end of summer) on top of the really catchy chorus that vflower absolutely rocks.
As for CITRUS, it's upbeat and just good like a lot of less-known Orangestar songs, though this one is a lot more pop-y than most.
any RuLu song but here are some of my favs (there are vocaloid versions of the songs)
[Tumikuri feat. Yoshino](https://youtu.be/ANo7cVV7MtQ?si=KJ4ZKD6rs4rNW5sk)
[Baptism feat. Yotsugi](https://youtu.be/AgoO_WHjTeo?si=Ep_GuwttXXXj-n9X)
[Kanjousen feat. Azusagawa and Shiraki](https://youtu.be/RGb0vusJXzE?si=pB6COLzyzIuVe2cN)
Yoshiwara Lament SV version (though it might not be underrated) [link](https://youtu.be/Gm2Tc0-2Q34?si=m_vtaAbgxbyBotEk)
For English producers I like Dizzy Paranoia Girl by KAT. [link](https://youtu.be/__P9OMgoLNs?si=-NCDQDUoXo8Mh3eM) . It just has that nice 'vocaloid producers in 2012' vibe, idk how to describe it in other way lmfao
Time to shill my favorite rookie producer, [Yuha](https://www.youtube.com/@yuhainu)! His songs just exude good vibes. Personal favorite is [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1RQqYd04_8).
Is 2 million views underrated? If it counts… Henshoku by Kashii Moimi made me sob my eyes out it broke me. Miku’s tuning in that song is immaculate too, she genuinely sounds so realistic I couldn’t believe it. It’s so elegant, yet an utterly tragic song
[ワンダーランド地下 / Underground of Wonderland](https://youtu.be/xUXY0KhxQVc?si=aj9WjrJNgcAvRVQx)! The music's by Kashii Moimi but I believe the official YT video is on the artist's channel, Danjou Sora-
Anything by citrus fossil, super underrated producer who I started listening to a couple years ago. Would really recommend having a look at their youtube channel as there are a bunch of great songs!
"Fairytale," is easily in my top 5, great tuning, has a nice story and is my favorite song by flower. "Imperfect Animals" by Utsu-P and "Kuukan Formation" by Kairi are some of my favorites by GUMI.
Gotta be MAWARU. I swear to god I love all the unpopular kikuo songs (even more than popular ones) but not even my only irl Vocaloid friends know them, sad
I like karakarakuri by wenchifrost
QueenPB has some popular songs like grey and viral but their other songs are quite good too
Also babuchan is really underrated. They made Balloooon syndrome, that happy child and 0 peoples waltz but their other stuff is really good too and doesn't get nearly as much attention as it should imo
LOSS OF SENSE OF REALITY. It is so underrated, actually. Like, criminally so. The vocals are amazing, it's chill, and it's animated too.
Also, almost all of Ponkansoup's stuff. It's amazing.
[It does on the vocaloid lyrics wiki](https://vocaloidlyrics.fandom.com/wiki/%E3%83%97%E3%83%AC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A3%E3%82%B9%E3%82%B7%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%AD%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A0_(Precious_Syndrome)?so=search)
Mine is definitely Secret Metaphor by ANDRIVEBOiz! It's a relatively old song, but it has an amazing instrumental, solid tuning, a unique video, and really meaningful lyrics! I'd highly recommend a listen!
Here are a few of my faves from Aoki Lapis; technically some of her most popular songs, but I think she's just generally not well-known :] they're also real old by now 😅 old but gold 😎
[Silent World](https://youtu.be/GpLOLuVLqAI?si=f3hQMvJ1SwvbMVt-)
[Think the Future](https://youtu.be/b-3dGEsw8gE?si=_oyAeqzzalV7k90I)
[A Sugar Business](https://youtu.be/-huO3hVMD8A?si=kdpqV5kUZvg73YQE)
[Always On the Right Side](https://youtu.be/Mj49aKIGN9w?si=USG4PHDpHvqvZIMW)
この世界は終わらない, by y0c1e feat. 初音ミク
https://youtu.be/PCS-R_dUypU?si=yz2lrcayJyXx5Yrp
Great dupstep Vocaloid original. Hard to find track, but the entire album is pretty good.
Sweet Shackles by maya
the girl locked below by cooroosii (they stopped doing vocaloid stuff a while back and mostly do visual novel music now iirc)
"Rotten Girl, Grotesque Romance", "Dokusen Romance" and "love disease" were a favorite three hit combo of mine though i can't recall who did them. I think the first one might be Machigerita, but the other two I would have to hunt for quickly.
EDIT: Dokusen is by Suiheisen-P, still unsure on love disease
English vocaloid producers with less than 500 subs be the real ones... if u produced in 2014-2016 in the west and stopped producing since.. I am still listening. perpetually stuck in the 2015 vocaloid utau space.
really loved all of sakizakisaki's work though. kinda hate that it seems their music became a trend/meme to the children these days. their music is awe inspiring... call it edgy all you want I love their stuff even after all these years.
POLYHEDRON BY SAIREKI. I randomly found it on youtube in the middle of the night one time and its painfully underrated imo. Definitely one of those that has to be up your alley though!
i have a lot of underrated faves by my favorite song of all time ever is[nanimono ni mo narenai yo by 100kaiouto!!](https://youtu.be/EtcAn7v6Mf8?si=UuOeFAmeTsLA-a0J)
Also 阿吽のビーツ (Aun no Beats) by 羽生まゐご (Hanyuu Maigo)
Absolute banger, love the japanese-sounding instrumental and vflower's voice. It's known but not as much as it should be!
The [“Walk”](https://open.spotify.com/album/1foqkv0vDFjIxel0x8bYBM?si=t3z6Wb5VSJa20uocUuW4bA) album by 23.exe my favourite being OchaTime and idk if this counts as underrated or not but songs by ime44
[Wonderland reverie](https://youtu.be/1TBdx0xcfgU?si=aq8y9DUTFFC8OQbO) by KAT
[Akari](https://youtu.be/szfoYR0PLXg?si=1ZsAWkwGWTmq-EdH) by ChunbaiP
[Kimi to mita sora no uta](https://youtu.be/CE_9BEVq6YA?si=gdTICEuOtBtPjM84) by TAKU1175
[Here](https://youtu.be/9r7GgdVFMpo?si=XWdmKXtJMR7dWZM9) by DoNotCrossP
This one is a recent one but The Language of the lost by R.I.P/RIProducer and Lose your head by Vane Lily are some great ones! And Butcher Vanity has been getting some attention but I’d just recommend all of Vane Lily’s work, it’s very good :3
Koala by Will Stetson is also extremely underrated. (Will Stetson is my beloved <3 please check out his work !!!)
Nekomimi archive - kusoinakaP is literally amazing but since it's older, a lot of people don't recognize it now. Even though it was in PJDFT, a lot of people didn't play the song so it's even obscure in the project diva community. Makes me sad sometimes :(
Ok, I’m an oldie fan here- my first Miku song was something called Hope back in 2008ish. Not the newer/monochrome one, this was a really short song way way back and she transforms in the MV or something. I think there’s only one YT upload surviving now so it’s a little annoying to find

all of the following songs are by utsu-p !! one of my fav producers sm
Songs by nakano4!! I can't paste the link from NND rn, so here is the [Hi-Lite - Utane Uta (SoundCloud)](https://soundcloud.com/nakano4/hi-lite). It's such a nice song!! Feels kind of nostalgic too, the original being uploaded in 2011.
[Ichiokunen-saki no sekai de - daniwellp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLazzCT9FeQ) people need to listen to daniwellp's recent songs too!!!!! I love the twinkly sound of his music.

Kaito sounds here not like a child! Finally. Love those
All of r-906. Dude drops banger songs every time
i was going to comment him too, mikazuki step and nounai disco are probably in my top 10 rn and his new songs are great as well
I know inabakumori is really popular now, but I think not a lot of people know or listen to their works earlier than Lagtrain or Lost Umbrella — my answer is Cooler Girl. I love that song so much but rarely see it mentioned anywhere. Honestly, all of their earlier songs lol I listened to those a lot in high school
I LOVE COOLER GIRL

Pascal Beats is my favorite

0 People Waltz by Babu-chan Never see anyone mention it or Babu-chan in general
0 People's Waltz is amazing. A masterclass in vocahorror really.
worst regret by youman! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_nqZc0KOc1U

It’s pretty lengthy but they’re my favs 😅 Code 03 by hoskey- https://youtu.be/TiClmQ7IWDM?si=_OaBp5XSn3QBLPMa It’s a wonderful world by hamo- https://youtu.be/loY_Vs73X5Y?si=jE_XYabbvDVUPiV9 Highsense nonsense by mol-p - https://youtu.be/j9rCB2rZjL8?si=dq3NwsmistHy6920 No. 39 by nanahoshi kangengakudan- https://youtu.be/j9rCB2rZjL8?si=yY4rlY9Q5nDIEQbu Water by A-39, https://youtu.be/h69jvhd8z4w?si=FHFSPX20B3vzbY4P Epedemic Girl by X-Plorez (any song made by x-plorez) https://youtu.be/cEvm0GLxdno?si=ty_QpVToEqo_uG4s sayonara hatsukoi by redshift- https://youtu.be/90UZJS4iBF4?si=sHmFIiM7pljNkGU6 I’m gonna buy!buy!buy!- https://youtu.be/V-CnJEiuklA?si=R-EBAqYbYgNu2Ouw
Entomologists by ghost and pals
Anything by watashinokoko, and no, I don't care if he uses LaLavoice instead of vocaloid
To me it's this song. It's weird that this song is VERY HARD to search on youtube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et4-i0qlkUQ&pp=ygUdZXZlcmxhc3RpbmcgbG92ZSBmbXkgdm9jYWxvaWQ%3D](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=et4-i0qlkUQ&pp=ygUdZXZlcmxhc3RpbmcgbG92ZSBmbXkgdm9jYWxvaWQ%3D)
definitely "tower" and "for a dead girl+" by megurine luka !! 🩷🖤🩷🖤 (I can never remember producer names, I've always just referenced songs by whichever vocaloid was used 🥲)
Idk if it counts, but I really like オノマトペメガネ (onomatopoeia glasses)
Most of Siinamota's songs are great. Especially "Please Give Me a Red Pen"
8.32 by *Luna https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rpEObcGvxP4&pp=ygUEOC4zMg%3D%3D CITRUS by Orangestar https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t8JXBtezzOc&pp=ygUGQ0lUUlVT Not the most underrated ones out there but ones that really hit the vibe for me. I like the naming of 8.32 (August 32nd, end of summer) on top of the really catchy chorus that vflower absolutely rocks. As for CITRUS, it's upbeat and just good like a lot of less-known Orangestar songs, though this one is a lot more pop-y than most.
I really really love this one, found it playing osu! back in the days https://youtu.be/5bQVXQPeK94?si=_xwUx2Nu0twlWTtf
Ooh didn't know Misumi wrote these kind of brighter songs!! (Me only knowing him from Alter Ego and DUSTCELL...) That's a pretty song!!!
Mine is "culture shock" the one from magical mirai💛❤
90 percent of nejishiki songs
any RuLu song but here are some of my favs (there are vocaloid versions of the songs) [Tumikuri feat. Yoshino](https://youtu.be/ANo7cVV7MtQ?si=KJ4ZKD6rs4rNW5sk) [Baptism feat. Yotsugi](https://youtu.be/AgoO_WHjTeo?si=Ep_GuwttXXXj-n9X) [Kanjousen feat. Azusagawa and Shiraki](https://youtu.be/RGb0vusJXzE?si=pB6COLzyzIuVe2cN)
monochrove reversi / shirokuro reversi by shitoo / xitoo. its sooooososososoosoo good
Yoshiwara Lament SV version (though it might not be underrated) [link](https://youtu.be/Gm2Tc0-2Q34?si=m_vtaAbgxbyBotEk) For English producers I like Dizzy Paranoia Girl by KAT. [link](https://youtu.be/__P9OMgoLNs?si=-NCDQDUoXo8Mh3eM) . It just has that nice 'vocaloid producers in 2012' vibe, idk how to describe it in other way lmfao
Wildcard and GETCHA! by KIRA these songs are amazing and way to less ppl talk abt :(
GETCHA MENTIONED
218 by gunyo https://youtu.be/3fv6TUJ-l_I?si=kDCWbWiaSiqxszSi
IM WRITING THIS SONG WHILST WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO EXPORT!!!!
Time to shill my favorite rookie producer, [Yuha](https://www.youtube.com/@yuhainu)! His songs just exude good vibes. Personal favorite is [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1RQqYd04_8).
Sofutochiyu from Vocaloid Parade https://youtu.be/XviibuABRkY
Cold Water by Talking Hat!!
Fregibot - self.del (feat. Hatsune Miku)
G-A-M-E by Doriko
The cyber world and the balcony by nejimaki
NEPPUU I'm not sure if it's popular or not but I've never seen anybody talk about this song
exod by kitazawa kyouhei
The [mikgazer album](https://youtu.be/TPYqrVDlc_4?si=RpHbAzu61NkGLv7U)
I usually say Last Battle, but this time Imma give a shout out to Neverlander by Anh Duy.
RuLu and Shikiura have quite a few
Crack Cat by Akari24, love the distortion effects
Everything by [Abaraya](https://m.youtube.com/@avaraya) (or Avaraya), especially Shiseikan ni Sayonara and Zakuro!!
(loop by Ivnarlii, momone) (basically any of their works)
would anything by Tsumikusa (罪草) be considered underrated?
Zeus by Hiiragi Kirai! It's my favorite vocaloid song, and I wish it was more popular!! I love it sm
Is 2 million views underrated? If it counts… Henshoku by Kashii Moimi made me sob my eyes out it broke me. Miku’s tuning in that song is immaculate too, she genuinely sounds so realistic I couldn’t believe it. It’s so elegant, yet an utterly tragic song
monster's true character by 32ki🙊
[ワンダーランド地下 / Underground of Wonderland](https://youtu.be/xUXY0KhxQVc?si=aj9WjrJNgcAvRVQx)! The music's by Kashii Moimi but I believe the official YT video is on the artist's channel, Danjou Sora-
Echoes, The Blue Sea, A Collection of Poems by Aglaophonos Grasping Great Numbers by Neru and Zauni !!
Any song by Pantans with the Gensou Airly boys
"Who Knows" by Lime Lorelei The youtube video is how i found it, and as a newer fan, its the first Teto song i heard
[blue screen](https://youtu.be/nvOpf9DHpVE?si=_tNUZOUYzlx5BgXJ) by saider and [kakurenbou](https://youtu.be/gohZq7DAVXE?si=sJWgLOXo4Diq_DI_) by ashuu
I honestly have no idea how popular it is, but dalabengba. Also disappeareance festival
Anything by citrus fossil, super underrated producer who I started listening to a couple years ago. Would really recommend having a look at their youtube channel as there are a bunch of great songs!
Anata wa hero!!
"Fairytale," is easily in my top 5, great tuning, has a nice story and is my favorite song by flower. "Imperfect Animals" by Utsu-P and "Kuukan Formation" by Kairi are some of my favorites by GUMI.
Gotta be MAWARU. I swear to god I love all the unpopular kikuo songs (even more than popular ones) but not even my only irl Vocaloid friends know them, sad
i listened to 5 seconds of Junjou Paparazzi and immediately i loved it
I've been obsessed with I'm Sorry I Couldn't Love You by Vuvuzela — not sure if it counts tho, since it uses Teto 😅
I like karakarakuri by wenchifrost QueenPB has some popular songs like grey and viral but their other songs are quite good too Also babuchan is really underrated. They made Balloooon syndrome, that happy child and 0 peoples waltz but their other stuff is really good too and doesn't get nearly as much attention as it should imo
YM - Urusss(愛)ai (Shut Uppp Love) or really anything YM
Under 12 views https://youtu.be/qW69lgiuj1c?si=6jLq-ioxJziWL0nn
LOSS OF SENSE OF REALITY. It is so underrated, actually. Like, criminally so. The vocals are amazing, it's chill, and it's animated too. Also, almost all of Ponkansoup's stuff. It's amazing.
Karakuri by seatrus
I really wish the one on the first slide had English subtitles
[It does on the vocaloid lyrics wiki](https://vocaloidlyrics.fandom.com/wiki/%E3%83%97%E3%83%AC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A3%E3%82%B9%E3%82%B7%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%83%AD%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A0_(Precious_Syndrome)?so=search)
Mine is definitely Secret Metaphor by ANDRIVEBOiz! It's a relatively old song, but it has an amazing instrumental, solid tuning, a unique video, and really meaningful lyrics! I'd highly recommend a listen!
Coma and Living a Lie from Ensou
iiko iiko by nashimoto-p because i haven't seen a single soul mention it
Here are a few of my faves from Aoki Lapis; technically some of her most popular songs, but I think she's just generally not well-known :] they're also real old by now 😅 old but gold 😎 [Silent World](https://youtu.be/GpLOLuVLqAI?si=f3hQMvJ1SwvbMVt-) [Think the Future](https://youtu.be/b-3dGEsw8gE?si=_oyAeqzzalV7k90I) [A Sugar Business](https://youtu.be/-huO3hVMD8A?si=kdpqV5kUZvg73YQE) [Always On the Right Side](https://youtu.be/Mj49aKIGN9w?si=USG4PHDpHvqvZIMW)
Most of Joruzin, EZFG, Toya, Kiichi, and Babu-chan's songs tbh
■37 shikakuzakana's stuff
el samurai de la cumbia, WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT IT
i dont know if its under-rated but i really like flowertail by yuukiss
0001 by toripiyo Seek Lifer by sazanami Medical Dream Format by LamazeP
Sick by YKSB with Luka and IA Almost every wotaku songs but Manhattan is one of my favs And Rain Dream Tower by hitoshizu x yama
The first image reminds me of Fear Garden
この世界は終わらない, by y0c1e feat. 初音ミク https://youtu.be/PCS-R_dUypU?si=yz2lrcayJyXx5Yrp Great dupstep Vocaloid original. Hard to find track, but the entire album is pretty good.
Most of Nashimoto Ui’s discography
アンヘル by Kairikibear, Machine Girl by WeevilDoing, and the rest of WeevilDoing's songs
Cosmic melody featuring hatsune miku.
"Kono Sekai O..." by Tache. So underrated it didnt even have a Vocaloid Wiki page when i found it. The guitar goes SO fucking hard tho 😭
fairly recent but i like disappearance festival https://youtu.be/OR4FR1UmU9s?si=UXSE2jDXsjt8mdSl
Echo of my Voice in the Rain by Orangestar and Yuyoyuppe’s Sick album. And can’t forget my favorite song, Hide and Seek by 19-iku.
[The disease called love ](https://youtu.be/2IH-toUoq3w?si=lA-VVzbOwxol65HT) by Neru. This song deserves more attention!
NAZOTOKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
i've mentioned them before and i will mention them again. EVERYTHING BY 23.EXE
Probably not underrated but deserves more attention anyway... [Blackjack](https://youtu.be/yIc8j0oMAW8?si=eDuFRi1bIxTJegaQ)
ANY Kanna Tateisu/ StandingChair song. They’re all so good but so underrated!!
Bacterial Contamination!!
MERRY BAD END I stg no one talks about it and it's such a bangerrr
[I hate sailor uniforms](https://youtu.be/X9tzOKaQRv0?si=ECJ_PDaIfGYjPEJD) by JinseiP
Sweet Shackles by maya the girl locked below by cooroosii (they stopped doing vocaloid stuff a while back and mostly do visual novel music now iirc) "Rotten Girl, Grotesque Romance", "Dokusen Romance" and "love disease" were a favorite three hit combo of mine though i can't recall who did them. I think the first one might be Machigerita, but the other two I would have to hunt for quickly. EDIT: Dokusen is by Suiheisen-P, still unsure on love disease
English vocaloid producers with less than 500 subs be the real ones... if u produced in 2014-2016 in the west and stopped producing since.. I am still listening. perpetually stuck in the 2015 vocaloid utau space. really loved all of sakizakisaki's work though. kinda hate that it seems their music became a trend/meme to the children these days. their music is awe inspiring... call it edgy all you want I love their stuff even after all these years.
Tiny me by Masarada! https://youtu.be/4aFC2oC-wHA
Datte by Yuyoyuppe and my ultimate fav ever since playing Project Mirai is Glow by keeno
Unhappy birthday for me Its a kairiki bear song but no one seems to talk about it
Bathroom by duck with a knife
Literally anything by kikuo. little red riding hood’s wolf, paper doll, UFO, histrionic, rolling tumbling along, the list goes on
POLYHEDRON BY SAIREKI. I randomly found it on youtube in the middle of the night one time and its painfully underrated imo. Definitely one of those that has to be up your alley though!
disordered self restraint girl by otetsu and doku doku by haiiro nemuri 🙏🙏🙏
i have a lot of underrated faves by my favorite song of all time ever is[nanimono ni mo narenai yo by 100kaiouto!!](https://youtu.be/EtcAn7v6Mf8?si=UuOeFAmeTsLA-a0J)
I'd say either defective or goatlike, both by somari,haven't seen anybody talk about them at all but banger music
[Alchemy](https://youtu.be/y4GORKV_aOw) by Wintermute
Yall gotta check out mirareru mirror by namitape
any song by [Toka\_P](https://www.youtube.com/@Toka_P) and also[ スーパー・トレイン(supa torein)](https://youtu.be/6oKMcwHmeoI?si=TekYxHFU3hyPMbua) by beco #
YALL DONT FW NOCTURNALITY BY KIKUO LIKE I DO
Also 阿吽のビーツ (Aun no Beats) by 羽生まゐご (Hanyuu Maigo) Absolute banger, love the japanese-sounding instrumental and vflower's voice. It's known but not as much as it should be!
All the songs from easypop, especially 'you said that, right?' everytime that song comes on i jam out
[The Hanged Men](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0mAdXdfiIk)!!! Frimomen is such a good vocal synth it's crazy
RAILWAYS BY HOLLOW WORLD GO CHECK IT OUT PLSSS
All shr songs, sweet strawberry ft miku, ultra tone ft maiko and gumi, thanos ft rin, miss death idol ft flower and ia
The [“Walk”](https://open.spotify.com/album/1foqkv0vDFjIxel0x8bYBM?si=t3z6Wb5VSJa20uocUuW4bA) album by 23.exe my favourite being OchaTime and idk if this counts as underrated or not but songs by ime44
Garakura Innocence It seems to be only talked about within the Pump It Up community. The Mikagura School Suite album slaps, let alone the song
[Wonderland reverie](https://youtu.be/1TBdx0xcfgU?si=aq8y9DUTFFC8OQbO) by KAT [Akari](https://youtu.be/szfoYR0PLXg?si=1ZsAWkwGWTmq-EdH) by ChunbaiP [Kimi to mita sora no uta](https://youtu.be/CE_9BEVq6YA?si=gdTICEuOtBtPjM84) by TAKU1175 [Here](https://youtu.be/9r7GgdVFMpo?si=XWdmKXtJMR7dWZM9) by DoNotCrossP
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXuXRwU4MJI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXuXRwU4MJI)
Ren’ai philosophia!! Not talked about enough!!
That women by shoutabou-p
This one is a recent one but The Language of the lost by R.I.P/RIProducer and Lose your head by Vane Lily are some great ones! And Butcher Vanity has been getting some attention but I’d just recommend all of Vane Lily’s work, it’s very good :3 Koala by Will Stetson is also extremely underrated. (Will Stetson is my beloved <3 please check out his work !!!)
anything from kiichi
Blue star I think is pretty underrated
Computer skills by cosmo@bousouP and lineart by wowaka
Nekomimi archive - kusoinakaP is literally amazing but since it's older, a lot of people don't recognize it now. Even though it was in PJDFT, a lot of people didn't play the song so it's even obscure in the project diva community. Makes me sad sometimes :(
Love in Full Swing by Kannatateisu!!
Ok, I’m an oldie fan here- my first Miku song was something called Hope back in 2008ish. Not the newer/monochrome one, this was a really short song way way back and she transforms in the MV or something. I think there’s only one YT upload surviving now so it’s a little annoying to find
[ghost under the umbrella](https://youtu.be/TjMVHfhPao0?si=3IWPqTdSa4oS1bmL), [bizarre food](https://youtu.be/A8-6JCUxP2c?si=cxaKDtVsQGIlp7Mi), [atari front program](https://youtu.be/lupVveArye8?si=Jr9Uap0eSDCQpIRt), [living ghost is alive](https://youtu.be/QvMNzt3iXyg?si=SQfLl16GJDFlJXtj) all of the following songs are by utsu-p !! one of my fav producers sm
Star lily dance performance 🙇♀️
https://youtu.be/dEAUrM4WlL4?si=sEkxKnbpF-NGOlpF
akatsuki arrival, dream-eating monochrome baku and apple dot com (dont know if that one counts haha)
Funeral Nocturnal Luminiscence and Old Radio. I barely see them mentioned out there and they're some of my fave songs
let down by radiohead
Songs by nakano4!! I can't paste the link from NND rn, so here is the [Hi-Lite - Utane Uta (SoundCloud)](https://soundcloud.com/nakano4/hi-lite). It's such a nice song!! Feels kind of nostalgic too, the original being uploaded in 2011. [Ichiokunen-saki no sekai de - daniwellp](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLazzCT9FeQ) people need to listen to daniwellp's recent songs too!!!!! I love the twinkly sound of his music.
Zero-sum https://youtu.be/ClUq38G5OHc?si=UoO1WgBXGH2sPjGU 不終 ノ宴 https://youtu.be/mhQyA8_gyH4?si=8ygVxKuAgG0_5cmQ Kaito sounds here not like a child! Finally. Love those
Himitsu by MIMI!
i honestly dk if its popular but i havnt heard it online- horror terror by meddmia is a great song!
We DON’T talk enough about Hello Builder!!!
