[Hatsune Miku Append] crack [with Chinese subtitles]

With gently woven, softly resonating guitar tones and a classic sound that firmly captured listeners’ hearts and sparked buzz, this is a track by keeno, known in the Vocaloid producer scene as a master of post-rock.

As the second release following “glow,” this song drew attention for its compositional sensibility and achieved the remarkable feat of being inducted into the VOCALOID Hall of Fame just nine days after it was posted.

Basket Worm – GUMI / Minomushi (Basket Worm) – GUMI feat. MI8k

Miyake, a Vocaloid producer who has released many hall-of-fame tracks like “Love & Destroy” and “Laughing Mannequin,” put out “Basket Worm” in 2016.

The lyrics depict lingering feelings that can’t be forgotten—still loving someone even after being betrayed and hurt to the point of tears.

The protagonist knows they should move on to the next relationship, but they just can’t.

The steady, restrained rhythm feels heartbreaking, yet it perfectly accompanies that state of not wanting to do anything after a breakup.

[Hatsune Miku] Paranoia [Tsunamaru]

This song is notable for Hatsune Miku’s delicate vocals.

Released by Tsunamaru in March 2012, it features a distinctive world that blends a dreamy piano melody with electronic sounds.

Complex emotions like the pain of heartbreak, loneliness, and attachment are beautifully conveyed through Miku’s calm vocal tone.

It’s the perfect track for moments when the quiet ache hidden deep in your heart spills over, or when you want to soothe the pain of a broken heart.

Sweet Lies

If you’ve experienced a sad, painful farewell with someone precious, this will surely resonate.

It’s a track by the enigmatic Vocaloid producer Azari, known for shadowy works like “Shadow Shadow” and “Who?”, released in March 2023.

The piano’s beautiful, fragile timbre and Utaai Yuki’s childlike voice are striking.

Rather than polished vocal work, it feels as if the words are naturally spilling out.

The sounds are gentle—so why does it hurt so much?

The world you sawNaisho no piasu82rank/position

The World You Saw / KAFU

It’s a heartbreak song suffused with poignancy, sadness, and a sense of resignation.

Created by Naisho no Pierce, who also wrote “Surechigai Kirchhoff” and “Shabon,” it was released in April 2023.

The lyrics depict the moment a lover leaves the room, and simply reading them feels like watching a drama unfold.

That worldview pairs perfectly with the mature, sophisticated sound arrangement.

Listen for Kafu’s vocals as well, which sound as if they’re wringing out raw emotion.

I'm home, you / Hifumi feat. KAFU

For those who find themselves thinking, “I can’t help but keep thinking about that person…,” I recommend the song “Tadaima, Anata” (“I’m Home, You”).

It was produced in 2021 by the Vocaloid producer Hifumi, known for crafting songs that highlight the beauty of the Japanese language.

The track features a striking, driving band sound paired with a heartrending melody line.

KAFU’s cool voice traces lyrics that let overflowing feelings for a loved one spill out.

It’s a bittersweet yet beautiful rock ’n’ roll number that sits close to the helplessness of heartbreak.

If you’re feeling the loneliness of being unable to see the one you love, give it a listen.
