[Spring / Setting Off] A Special Feature on Vocaloid Songs about Graduation, Parting, and New Beginnings to Listen to in March

BouquetMIMI

"Bouquet" / MIMI feat. KAFU

For example, if you’re about to graduate and feeling anxious about the new life starting in April, this might really resonate with you.

It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer MIMI, known for hits like “Kuu ni Naru” and “Yoru Tsumugi,” released in 2022.

The blend of catchiness and a slightly ennui-laden atmosphere is striking—it’s quintessential MIMI in terms of sound arrangement.

And the lyrics, which feel like they’re easing a sense of loneliness at night, will surely stay by your side.

Sing of FlowersShino

Hana o Utau / Shino feat. Hatsune Miku

It’s catchy and stylish, yet why does it tighten my chest so much? It’s the hit song that made Vocaloid producer Shino a known name, submitted to and included through the track submission project for the mobile game Project Sekai: Colorful Stage! feat.

Hatsune Miku.

A light four-on-the-floor rhythm pairs with dazzling synth lines, creating a spring-like impression from the sound alone.

But the lyrics trace the feelings of a protagonist who can’t bring themselves to say goodbye to someone precious, and it’s quietly moving.

[official] Paradichlorobenzene feat. Owata-P (Kagamine Len, Kagamine Rin)

In March, with entrance exams for national and public universities, students are likely approaching the climax of their studies.

This song is themed around the chemical substance paradichlorobenzene.

Dubbed a “destructive brainwashing song,” it feels like listening to it could wipe away worldly desires.

absorb "Sakura no Ame" MV Full

“Sakura no Ame” produced by halyosy.

When you hear the word “sakura,” many people probably think of this song.

Perhaps because the lyrics evoke a vivid story, I find my eyelids growing heavy.

It’s a Vocaloid track that’s highly popular as a graduation song.

STEP TO YOU40mP

(English sub)【Hatsune Miku 40mP】STEP TO YOU（PV version)

This is “STEP TO YOU,” produced by 40mP.

It’s one of the earliest songs from the Vocaloid scene, and its comfortable yet exhilarating melody—so characteristic of 40mP—is irresistibly catchy.

I also hope you’ll listen to the acoustic version, which features 40mP himself on piano.

Spring Grows Dark / Hatsune Miku

A Vocaloid song that poignantly sings of a bittersweet love, marked by a distinctly Japanese ambiance.

Composed by Fuyukan, it was released in April 2024.

The retro-flavored sound arrangement pairs perfectly with Miku’s straightforward vocals.

The lyrics, imbued with longing for a beloved person who is no longer here, are heart-wrenching.

When you’re heartbroken, this song might gently stay by your side in your sadness.

[GUMI (40mP)] The Town Closest to Spring [Original PV]

A positive, uplifting spring song perfect for March—the season of meetings and farewells.

It describes flowers blooming beautifully in one’s own town, and how they’re sure to bloom soon in the other person’s town.

Even after parting, it’s a song that gives you courage, reminding you that somewhere, you’re both doing your best.
