Dwango has announced the details of "The VOCALOID Collection ～2026 Summer～" (commonly known as Vocacolle 2026 Summer), a major online celebration of VOCALOID culture scheduled for August 20 (Thursday) through August 24 (Monday), 2026.
REMIX Submission Project: Famous Producers Release Stem Data — Plus Special Tracks for Niconico's 20th Anniversary
To further energize the REMIX culture within the VOCALOID community, numerous creators will release Stem data* for their tracks on the official Vocacolle website as part of a dedicated REMIX project. Stem data for eight tracks will be made available, including previous Vocacolle top-ranked songs such as Delos Santos / Yamamoto and 100 Million Years in Love / Inoutsuwa SA, as well as the global hit Shōjo A / Shiina Mota. Participants can use these files to create their own REMIX tracks, and those who rank highly in the Vocacolle REMIX Ranking will be featured on the official live broadcast.
Additionally, in celebration of Niconico's 20th anniversary on December 12, 2026, Stem data for 12 beloved classics from the platform will also be distributed — including Koi Suru VOC@LOID / OSTER project, Ama no Jaku / 164, 1, 2 Fanclub / mikito-P, and Rin-chan Now! ver.2025 / Galna (Owata-P). REMIX submissions based on these anniversary tracks will be specially highlighted on Niconico during the 20th anniversary period from September 2026.
*Stem data: Multi-track audio files containing separate recordings for vocals, guitar, bass, drums, and other individual instruments used in music production.
