Scenerinri91rank/position

Scene / Naruka Hime

The heartrending ballad “Scene” featuring Meika Hime is also a must-listen.

This is rinri’s entry for “VocaColle 2024 Winter Rookie.” The lyrics portray a man who has lost someone precious, reflecting on his memories.

Watching the animated music video may convey the situation even more clearly—be sure to watch through to the outro.

Also, although it’s a ballad, the arrangement builds momentum toward the latter half, which is another highlight.

Heartbreak ≈ BluesKedarui92rank/position

[VOCALOID] Heartbreak ≒ Blues feat. IA / Kedarui [Official]

It’s a refreshing song that conjures up a scene of a high school girl speeding down a hill on her bike during summer vacation.

The English lyrics are cool, and despite the heartbreak theme, the energetic vibe keeps it from feeling sad.

There’s also a stylish section where the accompaniment shifts to a jazzy feel.

It’s a song I really want you to listen to at least once.

Toa – AINO – ft. Hatsune Miku

It’s a song that portrays the journey from lost love to self-liberation, and every listen tightens my chest.

Created by Vocaloid producer Toa, known for hits like “Tsugihagi Staccato” and “ID Smile,” it was released in August 2024.

It features a sophisticated sound arrangement and lyrics marked by a sense of resignation toward parting.

Precisely because of its light, breezy tone, the contrasting message resonates.

When you sense the end of a romance, why not listen to this song and take a moment to face yourself?

[Hatsune Miku] Tsumagushi (Hairpin Comb) [Original]

A work by Neji-P sung by Miku.

The song has a metal vibe.

The lyrics use traditionally Japanese word choices, and by singing of the changing seasons, it becomes a transient and melancholic piece.

The beloved person is likely dead, and it’s hinted that the singer is no longer of this world either, making it an achingly heart-wrenching song.

Thinking of you, unrequited loveTakanon95rank/position

[GUMI] Thinking of You, One-Sided Love [Original] / Takanon [Official]

This is a bittersweet love song about realizing you’re in love and feeling like you’ve grown closer, only to find out the other person likes someone else and end up heartbroken.

It was released in 2011 by the Vocaloid producer Takanon, also known for the hall-of-fame classics “The Color of the Next Blooming Flower” and “Datte Datte Datte.” You can’t help but cry when you think about how all the time you were so excited for is about to turn into something painful.

At the end of the song, the protagonist decides to put a lid on their own feelings and cheer the other person on…

It’s just too heartbreaking.

If you’re in love with someone you can’t be with, please give it a listen.
