As if there were nothingMIMI
This song opens with a bittersweet, refreshing guitar arpeggio.
It’s a track by MIMI, a popular Vocaloid producer known for songs like “Moment,” released in 2019.
The tones of the guitar and piano over a simple drum phrase feel soothing.
Of course there’s a melody to the vocals, but it somehow sounds like they’re just calmly murmuring their feelings—mysterious.
It has a charm that makes you want to play it on repeat.
It’s a Vocaloid song I’d love for you to listen to while feeling the pleasant May breeze.

April marks the start of a new chapter in life, and by May things begin to settle down.
For those of you who’ve been feeling a bit unmotivated lately, this is just what I’d like to recommend.
It’s a track by Police Piccadilly, also known for works like “Kire Carrier,” released in 2018.
It’s an exceptionally pleasant guitar rock number.
The chorus in particular is electrifying—both refreshing and passionate.
It’s sure to lift up your spirit and bring back your motivation.
carnationKasamura Tōta
When it comes to big events in May, Mother’s Day comes to mind.
With that in mind, how about this song, “Carnation”? It’s a piece by Tota Kasamura, known for heartfelt ballads with piano accompaniment, released in 2018.
It sings about experiences with our mothers—something almost everyone can relate to—and about feelings of gratitude, making it truly moving.
Why not take courage from this song and share the feelings you can’t usually say this Mother’s Day? And of course, make the gift a carnation.
Best-of-Both-Worlds FactoryInumaru Shibaigoya
The slightly dark worldview is addictive.
It’s a piece by the Vocaloid creator unit Inumaru Shibaigoya, released in 2016.
The understated sound arrangement and melody are really cool.
With Japanese-inspired elements woven in, it also gives off a slightly retro vibe.
And the way the song ramps up in intensity after the final chorus is irresistible.
If you’re feeling a bit of the May blues, let this track lift your spirits and let’s power toward the summer!
GeminiDixie Flatline
This is Dixie Flatline’s debut post, and the twirling, spinning vocals and the rap in the latter half are must-hear.
The gentle tone, incredibly soothing melody, and encouraging lyrics will move you to tears.
Warm yet heartrending, it’s a Vocaloid track guaranteed to wreck your tear ducts.
365-day bluesHatome utau bungei saakuru
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
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.
