[Vocaloid] Ballad Song Ranking [2026]

Summer’s TransparencybuzzG57rank/position

Invisible in Summer / buzzG feat. Hatsune Miku

Vocaloid producer buzzG, whose band sound rooted in classic J-POP has earned high acclaim.

“Natsu no Toumei,” which evokes a prayer to someone dear, stirs the heart with its piano-featured clarity and deep, spacious ensemble.

While the chorus does include some melodic leaps, the overall vocal range is narrow and the melody is relaxed, making it relatively easy to sing for a Vocaloid track.

It’s a sentimental ballad number that invites you to sing with dynamic expression while visualizing the story in the lyrics.

Abyss / feat. Hatsune Miku

Some of you may be carrying a sense of loss after heartbreak, unable to see the person you love.

For those people, I recommend listening to “Shinkai” (Deep Sea).

It’s a piece by the Vocaloid producer Riei, who debuted in 2021.

The song compares sinking into the deep sea to the experience of profound sorrow, despair, and the days that continue on even without the one you love.

At first glance, it may seem unbearably sad, but in the end it gently gives listeners a push forward.

There’s meaning embedded in the way the lyrics are written as well, so don’t just listen—be sure to check the words themselves, too.

Karakuri Pierrot40mP59rank/position

[Hatsune Miku (40mP)] Karakuri Pierrot [Original]

“Karakuri Pierrot” is a Vocaloid song by 40mP released on Nico Nico Douga in 2011.

It’s also included on the album “My Small Self and the Big World.” Featuring Hatsune Miku on vocals and GUMI on chorus, this heartbreak ballad reached one million views in 2012.

The song begins with a meeting-up scene and portrays the loneliness of being at the mercy of love.

The album version is slightly rearranged from the original, so it might be fun to compare the two!

from Y to YJimii Samu P60rank/position

Hatsune Miku from Y to Y

It’s a grand ballad themed around heartbreak.

The title “from Y to Y” seems to play on the English idiom “from A to Z” (from beginning to end).

It portrays the relationship with a lover from its beginning to its end.

DECO*27 – Phony Tale feat. Hatsune Miku

“If only it were a lie…” Isn’t that what everyone thinks when they’re told it’s over? I’ve written the story of my own not-so-fairytale, not blessed with a happy ending, into lyrics as an “Otonise-Banashi.” It’s a song where lingering attachment is laid bare, so palpable you can almost grasp it.

The more you listen, the tighter your chest feels—painful, heartrending, and moving you to tears.

Self-Indulgence – Otomachi Una

A song by Vocaloid producer Komedawara, released in 2020.

It opens with crisp acoustic guitar strumming and a rhythmic vocal melody, and the dry tone of the electric guitar that joins partway through heightens the song’s sense of poignancy—there’s a lot to listen for.

The well-placed break in the first verse catches the ear, creating a tension that keeps the listener engaged and brings out the heartache in the lyrics.

In the outro, playing the main guitar riff an octave higher wraps up the track simply yet effectively.

It’s a tear-jerking Vocaloid ballad that conveys the determination to keep moving forward even through days when nothing seems to go right.

It got found out that I like you.Kasamura Tōta63rank/position

I Got Caught Liking You / feat. Fukase

KasaMura Tota, a Vocaloid producer known for numerous ballads themed around “living,” has released his 81st song, “Kimi wo Suki na Koto ga Bareta” (“It Got Found Out That I Like You”).

Its powerful piano sound and heart-wrenching lyrical storyline make a strong impact.

While the frequent leaps in pitch and bouncy rhythms can make it feel challenging, the overall vocal range isn’t very wide, so it should be approachable.

With a catchy, easy-to-remember melody, it’s a number sure to turn heads at karaoke.
