Give me the courage to let go of the happiness I desired so much / feat. Hatsune Miku

Despite its very simple instrumentation, why does it feel so profound? This is a song by Vocaloid producer Tota Kasamura, released in 2020.

It’s a deeply sorrowful Vocaloid ballad that sings of wishing to stay by the side of a beloved person they can no longer meet—even in the next life.

The title alone is heartbreaking, and reading the lyrics truly brings you to tears.

The warm melody resonates as well… It’s a masterpiece you’ll want to listen to carefully in a quiet moment alone.

Ideally, on a calm night.

Hatsune Miku Original Song 'Puzzle'

Included on the 2010 album “Flashback Sound.” From the intro, the weeping-sounding guitar melody really grabs me.

The contrast with the piano is beautiful too, fitting both a bittersweet state of mind and emotions on the verge of overflowing.

It feels like my feelings are about to undergo a gestalt collapse! The days I lost without noticing, and the days we laughed together—surely both are irreplaceably precious.

Hatsune Miku Clown

“Pierrot” is a Vocaloid song by KEI, a Vocaloid producer, released in 2010.

It reached one million views on Niconico in 2017.

It’s a gentle, uplifting song in which Hatsune Miku offers words of encouragement over and over again.

It’s a track that warmly embraces you when you’re pretending to be cheerful but actually feeling sad, or when hidden sorrow wells up and you feel like you’re about to cry.

Memeshi / Surii feat. Kafu

Srii, the Vocaloid producer who made a sudden entry into the Hall of Fame with their very first release, “Kūchū Bunkai” (Disassembly in Midair), has continued to put out numerous hit songs.

On YouTube, “Memeshii,” which has surpassed one million views, stands out for its lively ensemble that begins with delicate acoustic guitar phrases.

Since the song has relatively little dynamic and pitch variation overall, it’s easy to sing at karaoke if you set it to your own key.

If possible, try reproducing the catchy breaths as well—it’s a cute number.

[NicoKara] Orange [on vocal]

It’s included in The Heart of Azalea, released in 2013.

A song about saying goodbye to someone you love.

The tagline is “Let’s pretend none of it ever happened.” Different forms of parting, and feelings that have nowhere to go.

The song’s world slips into the cracks of your heart.

It’s so fragile and heartbreaking.

Prisoner [Inmate] - Kagamine Len

It portrays the tragedy of two people who should never have met, who do meet and are then torn apart—and that alone is enough to make you cry.

On top of that, the raised-pitch vocal quality unique to VOCALOID sounds like a pained scream, squeezing my heart.

I can’t believe this song is the author’s debut work.

As long as I live / feat. Fukase

Please give this a listen when you want to have a good cry and reset your feelings.

It’s a 2023 release by Tota Kasamura, a popular Vocaloid producer known for heartfelt ballads.

The gentle piano tones and the strong, resonant vocals create a harmony you can’t help but get lost in.

And the lyric’s message—“You don’t have to push yourself”—truly moves the heart.

Of course, it’s great to listen to yourself, but if you have a friend who’s struggling, sending it to them might just help.
