TAK, a Korean music producer, is breathing a new wind into the world of Vocaloid and VTubers. TAK, which has made a name for itself in the Japanese Vocaloid scene and has been thrilled with domestic and international fans through collaboration with Hatsune Miku, has developed a unique worldview based on the theme of fusion of music and art.
TAK has built his career through collaborations with numerous K-POP artists, including NCT 127, Stray Kids, and TWICE, and has proven his talent with the song “Tic! Tac! Toe!” from the rhythm game “DJMAX.” He then entered the Vocaloid scene in earnest, and his masterpiece, “LEMON MELON COOKIE,” was hit with over 5 million views on YouTube.
Dream collaboration with Hatsune Miku
TAK’s music has been attracting attention as a bridge that connects the world of Vocaloid and VTubers, and its collaboration with Hatsune Miku has been particularly hot topics. In his latest work, “Psycho Mode,” he expresses the complex emotions of young people living in the social media era, such as loneliness, obsession, and jealousy. Through Hatsune Miku’s voice, the lyrics that resonate deeply with listeners’ hearts, as well as their distinctive sound, distortion bass and unique post-chorus, have become a hot topic. This work has also received high praise from Vocaloid fans as a “new mentally ill pop.”
An unusual presence in the Vocaloid scene
What’s particularly noteworthy is that TAK is a producer who has been active in the global mainstream world of K-POP, but is now fully entering the Vocaloid scene, a unique culture of Japan. Until now, there have been few artists who have jumped into this genre from Korea, and the fact that TAK has a solid presence in the context of Vocaloid and VTuber has attracted attention as an unusual phenomenon in Japan. This movement, which intersects Korean sounds and Japanese culture, presents new possibilities for the music scene in both countries.
A fusion of traditional Korean music and modern sound
TAK also successfully combined traditional Korean emotion with its “Tokkebi Flower” released in 2025. He ranked 78th on the YouTube Music Korean charts and 12th in the popularity rankings of music videos, and is also attracting attention as an artist who can connect subculture with mainstream.
Expanding influence in Japan
TAK’s music is beginning to have a huge influence not only in Korea but also in Japan. In particular, as Vocaloid and VTuber culture evolve, TAK’s sound has captivated listeners across borders. Many fans watch the Vocaloid and VTuber scene grow into a global music ecosystem through TAK’s music.
He valued his interactions with his fans, and is also known for his active communication through live streams and social media, and his performance, which combines visual and music, has gained support, especially among the young Japanese people.
Future prospects and reasons for attention
TAK’s next challenge is to expand the possibilities of new music that go beyond the boundaries of Vocaloid and VTubers. In the future, we plan to release works that are more specialized for the Japanese market, and we are looking forward to seeing how their music and art evolve.
As a Korean artist, TAK will continue to collaborate and evolve in music that transcends borders and genres, and will likely lead the music industry in the future. As a symbol of the evolution of the Vocaloid and VTuber scene, we will continue to look after their success in the future.
