Room of Keyswataame
It’s an aggressive, Japanese-style rock track.
Created by the Vocaloid producer Watame, who rose to fame with the hit “Shikikokka,” it was released in 2013.
The lyrics tell a bittersweet love story between a girl in a sealed room deep within a large mansion and a boy who works there as a gofer.
While the song’s tempo is full of drive, the story is heartbreakingly sad.
Still, that determination to accomplish something even if it means breaking the rules is something anyone can relate to.
It’s a Vocaloid song I highly recommend listening to all the way through.
Ride the wind with youOtozukai
It’s a gentle, soft, and soothing song.
The lyrics convey the feeling of “the two of us will keep walking forever.” The fresh, uplifting scenery that comes to mind from the melody, along with the combination of guitar and percussion, creates a very pleasant sound.

It’s May, the time of year when it gradually starts getting hotter.
If you want to boost that sense of excitement heading toward summer, how about this track? It’s a piece by the Vocaloid producer ＼(＼・∀∀・)にこP, known for their wide musical range, released in 2008.
It’s a refreshingly classic, straight-up guitar rock number.
The song expresses the anticipation of spending summer with someone special and wondering what fun things await.
Given the lyrics, students might find it especially relatable.
Rain in the Hill TownInashiki Jōshū
It’s a gentle, soothing Japanese-style Vocaloid song set in a rain-soaked port town.
Created by Vocaloid producer Inashiki Jōshū, known for a style that incorporates elements of world folk music, the track was released in 2010.
The lyrics evoke beautiful scenery and vivid streetscapes.
It’s a love song about deciding to confess your feelings on such a wonderful day, and combined with the delicate vocals, it leaves you with a sweet, bittersweet feeling.
By the way, although I called it a Japanese-style piece, it also features the timbres of Chinese instruments like the erhu.
Beginning of summer. Balloon flower.Kyōta
Rikka refers to around May 5.
It’s a Vocaloid song by Kyota, also known under the name Score-P.
Released in 2016, it’s a poignant love song with beautifully resonant, ambient piano tones.
The lyrics recall time spent with a loved one, and combined with the sound, it’s a tearjerker.
Yet it doesn’t dwell only on sadness—it also expresses gratitude, leaving a hopeful impression.
It’s a clear, beautiful track that perfectly suits the fresh green season; consider adding it to your playlist.
