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.

I'll give you the Earth / Harumaki Gohan feat. LUMi – This Earth, for You

It’s a soft yet beautiful ballad that evokes a sense of nostalgia.

The singer is LUMi, a VOCALOID released in 2017 who has the mysterious background of being the “Shrine Maiden of the Immortal Jellyfish.” For Harumaki Gohan, the composer, this was the first song using LUMi’s voice, and her conversational singing style harmonizes perfectly with the world the song creates.

sasakure.UK – For Campanella feat. GUMI / Campanella

Those with a keen eye may have already noticed, but this song is based on Kenji Miyazawa’s novel Night on the Galactic Railroad.

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer sasakureP, also known as sasakure.UK, released in 2009.

The lyrics express feelings for a beloved person who has gone far away.

Perhaps due to its progressive style, it draws you into a mysterious worldview.

Confession/Hatsune Miku

Set to a heartrending melody, feelings of farewell are sung.

Released in 2018 as a song by Kanzaki Iori and later included on the album “Hakushi,” it poignantly voices regret over a past romance and emotions for days that can never return.

The piano-centered arrangement unfolds dramatically toward the latter half, making it feel as though every note carries emotion.

It’s a work that blends gentleness with sorrow—one I’d like those suffering from the pain of parting to hear.
