A Vocaloid song that makes you ache and cry as you think of a precious person who’s gone.

It’s by the Vocaloid producer yuyu, also known for works like “Deep Sea Girl” and “Tengaku,” and it was released in 2007.

With its grand sound arrangement and beautiful choral work, it’s the kind of piece that alone can bring tears to your eyes.

And of course, the real charm of this song lies in its lyrics, which reveal a heartbreaking love story.

You can’t help but wonder what happened between the two of them.

That said, while I’ve described it as “sad,” by the end you’ll find it carries a message that can make you feel more positive.

Its appeal lies in a cool soundscape that weaves a four-on-the-floor beat together with synth textures and guitar phrases, incorporating elements of funk music.
