Vocalo Zanmai 2 (ボカロ三昧2, Bokaro Zanmai Tsū) is the sixth studio album by Japanese band Wagakki Band. It was released on August 17, 2022, through Universal Sigma in five editions: a two-CD release with an instrumental disc, streaming, the First-Press Limited ∞ Edition with the 8th Anniversary Japan Tour ∞ -Infinity- Blu-ray, the First-Press Limited Vocalo Edition with a bonus track and a documentary DVD, and the Shin Yaeryu (FC Limited) Edition box set, which combines all physical media editions with nine extra DVDs. Like the band's 2014 debut album, Vocalo Zanmai consists of Vocaloid (and two CeVIO) songs covered in the band's style of mixing traditional Japanese musical instruments (wagakki) with heavy metal.[1][2][3][4]
