May MaidenAki/millstones
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.
I am a dandelion.M@SATOSHI
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.
marigoldsadaharu
Kinshanka (Calendula) is the Japanese name for the flower known as pot marigold, which blooms from March to June.
This piece by Vocaloid producer sadaharu was released in a miki version in 2009 and a Hatsune Miku version in 2010.
It’s a rock number brimming with Japanese flavor, and it just feels incredibly cool.
The melody is powerful, and the lyrics are full of resolve, delivering a stirring message that really moves you.
May is often a month when it’s hard to feel motivated.
How about refocusing your energy with this song?
Sky-Colored Raceo hoi pi
This is a track I really want you to listen to with headphones or earphones.
It’s a piece by Ossan Hoihoi P—also known as Okkhoi P—released in 2013.
It sings of the excitement that wells up on a sunny day with clear blue skies, along with the sweet, slightly bittersweet feelings of love.
The sound arrangement is fun to listen to, with a variety of tones appearing throughout.
The soft, plucky percussion sounds are satisfying too.
You might even find yourself thinking, “Wow, I was really tense without realizing it.” I recommend listening to it while taking a aimless stroll.
Samidare Love Songkagura P
A wistful, Japanese-style song that overlays the passing of seasons with rain that has stopped and a love that quietly ended.
It’s a work by Kagura-P, known for incorporating traditional Japanese elements, released in 2009.
Hatsune Miku’s fragile vocals fit the melody and lyrics perfectly, tugging at the deepest parts of your heart.
If you’ve experienced an unrequited love, it might bring you to tears.
The expansiveness and depth of the sound are also wonderful, evoking the image of a beautiful blue sky after the rain.
dandelionhamu ☆ P
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.
Oh, glorious early summermowamowa P
It’s a refreshing waltz-style song, but… It’s a piece by Mowamowa-P, known for tracks like “Pollen Season,” released in 2009.
The extremely straightforward lyrics sparked a lot of discussion.
Describing those lyrics here is difficult for several reasons, so please take a look for yourself.
I’d like to live this honestly, too… That said, the tune itself is truly pleasant and will put you in a relaxed mood.
Perfect for a sunny day in May.
