>>91788488As you can guess the majority of good music comes from corpos because most indies with talented voices don’t really know where to go to produce something original. Also I agree, Lumi has a full album of original songs but Middle is probably one of her best.
I’ve been watching vtubers for 8 years now and here’s a list of original songs I liked:
HimeHina are the best. They make extremely impressive 3D music videos for everything, good dance choreography, interesting style, so on. Basically what I would consider to be a gold standard for what vtubers can do if any of them get serious about music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mR5y5DAVSgTo me this is the vtuber anthem. You can spot so many influential vtubers of the past making cameos.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTBycStPfJMThey’re not some voice from the past either. The dropped this song about crazy ladies a month ago and it’s already got almost 3 million views.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiVGudcnsAgAnother chuuba from a long time ago. I like this song because it’s weird. Like an old rock ballad but in Japanese.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MVXIuV2mdMVery Hatsune Miku type song in my opinion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjkDJHk2KrEEveryone who was watching vtubers back in the day probably got recommended this song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spi6yOS6zy4Unsurprisingly, Nyanners’ best song is a meme cover.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzkNg89Cq9YSome people like this song. It sounds kind of like an anime OP.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_nS5XjiFxAThis also sounds like an anime OP but that’s okay because it’s Bao.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSsWP2DPSQUMy favorite Bao song. It’s kind of dumb but very bubbly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G80hCdoZfdgGirly pop song but I kind of like how catchy it is, especially the chorus.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPq7SVgoM30Same type of genre but it’s by a crazy bitch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmxpI9KZiwgI absolutely love this song and also Patterns has done some collabs with other vtubers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJbHpDi8tZoNot many people in /BIG/ probably know who Leona Shishigami is. She’s part of a vtuber music group. I just like her and I also really like the artist who made her 10/10 model.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgMFpuos4RgIsegye my beloved. Most probably consider Kidding their best song but you may have heard that one already.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZqK8jfbNbcHonorary mention to one of the best fan songs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnP0cKNPE04Probably the most feel good thing Nijisanji has made aside from Da Wose.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR-aIzE3QI0Not a SEA but I really like this song. I think the drums and BPM are hype.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stmZAThUl64One of the best Hololive songs from one of their more underrated talents.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfYxTm2cKlINana Asteria has a few original songs but her covers are really good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUDPjyfmJrsMarine is probably has the most unique original songs. Every new one is a different genre.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AuQZrUHjhgIt’s ogey to like Mori’s music. She’s not that popular with like 700,000,000 views by mistake.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXB26PzV31kThis sentimental song from Mori is also pretty decent.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsS3LNGcEY8YFU Baby had the craziest setup for someone not in a JP corpo at the time. She also had concerts where she was able to integrate 2D vtubers. Definitely worth looking through her channel to see all the collabs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1SGRHBrri8Whoever YFU has making her beats is really great. She’s also pretty good at coming up with all the lyrics.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnyDAwlZzTEExperimental connoisseurs only.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY2LmTobArASaa was the best rapper in vtubing, which probably isn’t that big of a deal, but she had a sexy voice, good at crafting lyrics/flow, and can freestyle so well. Possibly even better than MariMari_EN. A bigger shame is her better songs aren’t even saved on YouTube.
UUUUUUUNot to my tastes but I know Froot and OBKatieKat do metal covers so they probably have some original songs too.
Numi makes a lot original songs as well.
