Quick Answer
Many songs unlock naturally through progression, while specific tracks may require quests, events, or direct unlock methods. Focus on:
📖 Story progression — Unlocks many songs naturally
⭐ Holomem quests — Unlock member songs and progression rewards
🎉 Events — Limited-time songs added via campaigns
🎟️ Song tokens — Use for specific favorites or quest requirements
Key rule: Save song tokens early. Many songs unlock through normal play, so tokens are best saved for plugging gaps, not bulk unlocking. Focus on unlocking systems first, not completing the song library.
Introduction
hololive Dreams launched with a 150+ song library including originals and covers, with more being added over time. But unlocking them isn't always straightforward — multiple methods exist, and wasting resources early can slow you down.
This guide explains every way to unlock songs, when to spend tokens, and which songs to prioritize.
Fastest Song Unlock Route
Day 1:
✅ Finish tutorial
✅ Progress story
✅ Unlock first Holomem quests
✅ Avoid spending song tokens
✅ Focus on unlocking systems first
Days 2–3:
✅ Complete member quests
✅ Unlock favorite member songs
✅ Save resources
Long-term:
✅ Use tokens only for missing favorites
✅ Prioritize limited event songs
Song Unlock Priority Order
When deciding what to unlock next, follow this priority:
🥇 Limited event songs → Grab before they disappear
🥈 Your favorite Holomem songs → Complete their quests
🥉 Quest-required songs → Unlock when needed
🏅 Random songs → Use tokens only if you really want them
Event songs are especially worth highlighting because song catalogs include limited/event categories that can have separate availability windows.
How to Unlock Your Oshi's Song Faster
Want your oshi's song first? Follow this route:
Pick your target Holomem — Identify your favorite member
Prioritize their quest progression — Focus on unlocking their quest early
Complete daily member opportunities — Use the daily quest system consistently
Avoid spending tokens before checking quest unlocks — Don't waste resources unnecessarily
Use tokens only if the song remains unavailable — Tokens are the backup method
If your favorite member is not available yet, focus on unlocking their Holomem Quest first instead of spending resources randomly.
All Song Unlock Methods Explained
📖 1. Story Progression (Main Method)
A large portion of the launch song library opens naturally as you progress through the game's main story and quests.
What to do: Simply play through the game. Complete quests, unlock new facilities, and expand your park. Each progression milestone typically adds new songs to your library.
Beginner tip: Do not rush to unlock everything immediately. The tracklist is massive, and you will unlock many songs naturally. Song tokens are for plugging gaps, not bulk unlocking.
⭐ 2. Holomem Quest Songs
How to unlock member-specific songs: Complete Holomem Quests to unlock member-specific songs and rewards.
How it works:
You can complete side quests for 2 random members per day
An "invitation" allows you to select any member at any time
Completing Holomem Quests can unlock member-specific songs and rewards
Why this matters: This is the main way to access member-specific original songs.
🎟️ 3. Song Tokens
Song unlock tokens (also called Music Disks) allow you to unlock specific songs directly.
The mistake many players make: Spending tokens early to "collect" songs, only to find those same songs unlock later through story progression, wasting a valuable resource.
🎉 4. Event Songs
The game adds new songs through limited-time events. At launch, QualiArts ran an "Extra Song Campaign: 25 New Songs in 15 Days" adding playable songs daily.
What to know:
Event songs may have limited availability windows
Prioritize event songs when they appear
Follow official channels for song announcements
The priority rule: Permanent songs can wait. Limited event tracks should be prioritized because they may disappear after the event period.
Can You Unlock Songs Without Spending Tokens?
Yes. Most players should avoid using tokens early.
Free unlock methods:
✅ Story progression
✅ Holomem quests
✅ Events
✅ Daily activities
Use tokens only when:
A favorite song is unavailable
A quest requires it
An event deadline is approaching
How to Find Locked Songs
Before spending tokens:
Open song library
Select the locked song
Check unlock requirements
Complete the related quest/event requirement
Use tokens only if no other method exists
Many players unlock songs using tokens without realizing the same song would have been available through a quest or story progression. Always check first.
Should You Spend Song Tokens Early?
Short answer: No.
Use tokens for:
✅ Favorite member songs
✅ Songs blocked behind requirements
✅ Event songs you cannot miss
✅ Quest objectives
Avoid:
❌ Randomly unlocking songs because they look interesting
❌ Bulk unlocking without checking progression unlocks first
Early players often waste tokens unlocking songs that later become available through normal progression. Many songs unlock naturally, so tokens are best reserved for specific needs.
Song Unlock vs Chart Unlock
Important distinction: Unlocking a song gives you access to the track. However, higher difficulties may require additional rhythm progression.
Example:
✅ Song unlocked = playable
❌ Song unlocked ≠ Master chart automatically available
Rhythm chart progression is a separate system, with difficulty tiers and unlock conditions. You may need to clear lower difficulties to access harder charts.
Which Songs Should You Unlock First?
❤️ Favorite Member Players
Unlock your oshi's original song.
🎯 Completion Players
Unlock quest-required songs.
🏆 Score Players
Unlock songs matching your strongest charts.
Common Song Unlock Mistakes
❌ Spending song tokens immediately — Many tracks unlock naturally through progression. Wasting tokens early reduces your ability to target specific songs later.
❌ Assuming all songs unlock the same way — Holomem Quests, events, and tokens each work differently.
❌ Unlocking songs without checking if they're event-limited — You might spend tokens on a song that would have been available through events.
❌ Thinking song unlock = chart difficulty unlock — Unlocking a song does NOT automatically unlock its Master difficulty. You may need to clear lower difficulties or meet specific conditions before higher difficulties appear.
❌ Ignoring Holomem Quests — This is the main way to access member-specific original songs.
What Players Learned After Launch
1. Don't Chase the Entire Library Immediately
The game has a very large song pool, so completion takes time. Focus on unlocking what you need first.
2. Favorite Songs Matter More Than Meta Songs
Many players are collecting songs because of their favorite members, not only score optimization.
3. Limited Content Creates FOMO
Event songs deserve attention because availability may not always match permanent tracks.
4. Don't Spend Tokens Because You Like a Song
Players naturally want to collect everything immediately, but early resources are limited.
5. Unlock Your Favorite Member First
The emotional goal is stronger than completion.
