As we sense the arrival of warm spring, March is a time when anticipation for the new season intersects with the sadness of farewells.

In such a season, a song that stirs the heart is Vocaloid producer mawari’s “Spring Haze, Drifting on a Dust-laden Wind.” Released in 2023, it’s a moving masterpiece where a refreshing melody is skillfully interwoven with a subtle tinge of wistfulness.

The lyrics, which earnestly wish to find spring, are sure to resonate with anyone facing the changes to come.

With a richly expressive composition, mawari inspires deep reflection in listeners.

This song will gently embrace hearts wavering between the past and the future.

[KAITO] Spring Song to Fritter Away the Time [Original]

Rather than “sexy,” the word “alluring” feels more fitting for the Japanese lyrics and classical expressions used here.

And yet the song has a somewhat tango-like flavor, making the contrast compelling—an intriguing track.

KAITO’s bewitching vocals are also a must-hear.

Just, Somehow / saikawa feat. Hatsune Miku

It’s a Vocaloid song where feelings of poignancy and loneliness intersect, yet a curiously warm atmosphere comes through.

Saikawa’s track “Tada, Nantonaku” was released in 2023.

It’s marked by introspective, thought-provoking messages, with Miku’s straightforward vocals shining through.

The small dissatisfactions that sprout in everyday life, the desire to set yourself apart from others—one of these is sure to resonate with you.

Take your time and listen while the spring breeze blows.

Spring Breeze Morphing / Hatsune Miku Original

Even with the same Hatsune Miku, how she sounds can vary completely depending on the creator—that’s one of the fascinating things about Vocaloid.

This piece, “Spring Breeze Morphing,” is a work where that aspect is especially evident.

The languid, sultry vocals are so astounding they hardly seem like Hatsune Miku at all.

Swan / Hatsune Miku

It might be perfect to listen to while feeling the mildness of March.

It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer tama, released in 2020.

A refreshing pop tune marked by distinctive guitar arpeggios, it features a wonderfully catchy melody line.

However, the lyrics, which speak of passing time and fading memories, give it a slightly bittersweet touch.

When you listen to this song, whose face will come to your mind?

Spring melts into lemon dropsyamada

Spring dissolves into lemon drops / Hatsune Miku sweet “Spring is soluble in Lemon Candy” Hatsune Miku

This is a cute song where Hatsune Miku SWEET’s sugary vocals match perfectly with the lyrics.

While it’s a breakup song that weaves in some intense words, the catchy sound both highlights them and keeps everything in harmony—impressive work.

It’s also fun how the lyrics resonate when sung, and how you catch a faint hint of a Chinese flavor in the musical style.

Cherry Blossom Blizzard and Hazy Moon / Kimuta feat. Nekomura Iroha

If you like fast-paced, Japanese-style tracks like “Senbonzakura,” I recommend “Sakurafubuki to Oborozuki.” The BPM is quite high, but thanks to the well-tuned Vocaloid, it’s an easy listen.

Not only the melody but also the lyrics are crafted in a traditional Japanese style, making it a highly polished piece.
