[Vocaloid] Ballad Song Ranking [2026]

Rapunzeln-buna22rank/position

Rapunzel / Hatsune Miku

From the very first line, it sings so human-like that I found myself thinking, “Is this really a VOCALOID?” I was astonished.

The smooth delivery of the high notes and even the use of vibrato make it a highly polished VOCALOID ballad.

It was released in 2016.

The happiest way to die in the worldkoka23rank/position

The Happiest Way to Die in the World / Reminiscence Song feat. IA

Even with its striking title, “The Happiest Way to Die in the World” is drawing attention.

It’s a ballad that sings about the idea that “if everyone hates you, perhaps it wouldn’t be sad even if you were to die.” Take a moment to reflect on that perspective yourself.

Another appeal is how the simple piano tone accentuates IA’s vocals.

With its very quiet melody, it’s also perfect as a companion for relaxation time.

Don't Say Goodbye / feat. KAFU

“Don’t Say Goodbye” is a song by MIMI, released in June 2023.

The gentle tones of piano and acoustic guitar seem to sink into your heart, and KAF’s earnest vocals tenderly embrace the parts of yourself that feel fragile.

Many listeners are sure to find comfort in its message: “It’s okay not to push yourself—wait until you’re ready to face forward.” When you’re worn out, this piece feels like it’s right there beside you.

It’s especially recommended for solitary listening on a quiet night.

[Kagamine Rin] Regret Message [PV-like]

A possible epilogue to the stories of “Daughter of Evil” and “Servant of Evil”… or perhaps not.

Where will the bottle carrying the girl’s wish drift ashore? This work was released in 2008.

What I Want You to Hear by Nekoborō (Sasanomaly) feat. Hatsune Miku

A four-on-the-floor track with a slightly languid feel.

Maybe because of the pleasant sound, my body starts swaying on its own.

Created by Nekobolo, who has been active in the VOCALOID scene since 2009, this song was released in 2015.

The suggestive lyrics really make you think.

Ichini no San de feat. Hatsune Miku / nogumi

“Ichi ni no San de” sings a resolve to change the future through action.

Created in 2022 by Vocaloid producer nogumi, the song gained attention after being selected for the 11th Proseka NEXT.

It expresses the determination and courage to take on new days amid times when we’re hurt by casual words or feel down.

Hatsune Miku’s high-tone vocals over a passionate band performance conjure up emotional scenes.

It’s a Vocaloid ballad that portrays moving forward while facing one’s past self.

Hatsune Miku Original Song “Starduster”

This song was created with “space” as one of its themes.

The feelings described in the lyrics—being hesitant or evasive about love—are something everyone has experienced, aren’t they? That indescribable bittersweetness really tugs at the heart.

From the intro, the synths sway and shimmer, and along with the sparkling sounds, they evoke a mysterious sensation, as if you’re drifting through the cosmos.

Be sure to listen with earphones or headphones.
