365-day May Sickness V4ReMix

May can leave you feeling oddly unmotivated… That’s what we call “gogatsubyo,” or May blues.

This song takes that theme as its motif.

It’s a piece by the music unit Hatojo Utau Bungei Circle, formed around Sega sound creator Takashi Hataya, released in 2014.

Its appeal lies in the high-quality arrangement that blends electronic music with traditional Japanese sounds—truly professional work.

Another highlight is that the lyrics follow the haiku rhythm of 5-7-5.

The video is a remixed version released in 2017.

Closing Flower Declaration40mP

[Hatsune Miku] Closure Blossom Declaration [Original Song]_Last Cherry Blossoms

It depends on the region, but May isn’t really cherry blossom season anymore, is it? So, instead of a “blooming declaration,” here we have a “closing of the blossoms” declaration.

This is a piece by 40mP, a Vocaloid producer known for refreshing band sounds, released in 2016.

The word “I like you” is so hard to say.

It’s a cute and slightly bittersweet love song that captures the sweet-and-sour feelings of youth.

Students in particular might relate to it.

It’s also recommended to listen to as an adult while reminiscing about past romances.

May MaidenAki/millstones

May Girl [ver1.3] (feat. Hatsune Miku)

This is a highly recommended song for those suffering from severe May blues.

It features a cute, charming house-pop sound, and the lyrics are wonderful and uplifting.

If other Vocaloid tracks have you overly hyped, give this one a listen to cool down.

It’s a song that mourns parting from someone precious, yet sings with the belief that when they meet again, the two will surely find happiness—conveying both poignancy and strength at the same time.

Created by Vocaloid producer Hamu☆P and released in 2008, with lyrics by K-on Gao—P.

It features the pleasant harmonies of Kagamine Rin and Len.

The sound image, like a fresh May breeze blowing through, is also wonderfully soothing to listen to.

If you’re looking to lift a tired, downcast heart, please give it a listen.

“Aldebaran” is one of the stars in the constellation Taurus, which is a May constellation.

The lyrics are beautiful, and both the melody and the song’s worldview are crystal clear and truly wonderful.

Thanks to the music video, the lyrics take on a sense of mystery.

It was released in 2009.

Song of the Cherry Blossoms that Bloomed in MayKURI

[Hatsune Miku] The Song of the Cherry Blossoms That Bloomed in May (with Chinese subtitles)

Judging from the place suggested by the title, I would guess it’s Hokkaido.

The lyrics evoke scenes of cherry blossoms in bloom, which is wonderful and fills my heart.

This song, crafted with an emotional band arrangement, conveys the infinite potential, beauty, and fleeting nature of cherry blossoms.

I am a dandelion.M@SATOSHI

[Hatsune Miku] I Am a Dandelion [Original]

Since the song’s theme is dandelions, it’s perfect for May.

Thanks to its grand atmosphere and clear, transparent vocals, it’s crafted with a warm arrangement.

M@SATOSHI specializes in ’90s sounds, and this track carries that vibe as well.

It’s a Vocaloid song that we’d like listeners of all ages to hear.
