VocaDuo2026 is going on. Not all songs are uploaded since the deadline is 03 July, but these are my totally subjective picks at this point.

Aitsuki Nakuru is Aitsuki Nakuru. Her voice always fits this kind of music. If you like this, I recommend her recent album "ILLUAMOR" too.

Nice fantasy music.

This is the type of music people like Nakiso do.

Nohana Koyori's main job is voice acting. So it can never go wrong if they do this with her.

This is classic Choco. A famous Denpa singer.

I feel strong influences from DECO*27 and Haraguchi Sasuke.

Nice retro music.

The music itself is good. And I like this video editor.

I like this fragility.

I like everyone in this team.

I have listened to several hundreds more VocaDuo2026 songs. And these are my additional favourites.

This is good.

I like this Lain like video editing.

One needs to sing well to sing a song like this.

Paradise Lost themed music usually doesn't end up bad.

Nice. Quite like Iyowa.

I simply like this kind of music. But personally at some points I wanted kotono's voice.

Nice operatic singing. But the combination of that singing style and those illustrations is too Machita Chima.

I have listened to some (>100) newer ones while waiting for kotono's upload.

I love kotono's voice.

Nice. It could be better if she acted a bit more for the phrases.

Kawaii.

I like these illustrations. The music is lovely too.

I accidentally found this video. If you want some music theory about Japanese popular music, I think it nicely summarises. Though many are not Japanese exclusive.

I attach the chord progression rules for Major / Minor. If you see these, you could easily know why Royal Road is Royal Road. And other things too.

Some more VocaDuo2026 songs. The end is near.

For the obvious reason.

Not bad at all.

Maybe I have listened to Aitsuki Nakuru's ILLUAMOR too much. Also those illustrations obviously came from the album art of ILLUAMOR and the illustration of Evil Bubble.

Maybe too Yorushika and NayutalieN. But I like this mode anyway.

Simple and good.

One of a kind song from this proto-prog rock band. Gives me goosebumps:

my father just brought me this but sadly I have no access to a device capable of playing vinyl records to check if it's any good

Update: We are adapting our music taste to this immediately

I guess I have listened to all of today's uploads.

Traditional music with a pop style singing.

It seems that I missed some things. I guess this is the actual end?

I think I'm naturally inclined to these things. In addition to music, I like white and those flowers too.

The video is cute.

Not bad.

I guess genrewise this is a little bit close to numbers stations field recordings like The Conet Project.
