little bunnyteisotoku P
A song that makes you forget the world of VOCALOID and just listen.
I imagine there are many female singers who would love to cover and sing this track.
The lyrics, which feel like “thinking about the meaning of words I couldn’t understand as a child,” are set on a pedestrian overpass at night, and they’re the kind that bring tears to your eyes…
When your heart is fragile, pedestrian bridges and rooftops can feel like special places.
The divine vocals and consistently wistful production make it a piece you’ll want to revisit again and again.
Give it a listen when you feel like crying! By the way, the artist Teishotoku-P is also known for poignant, rock-leaning songs.
ReflectionSakyoku: Matthew Welder
This is a song from Disney’s Mulan, which portrays Mulan disguising her gender and fighting for her family.
Set in China, the film was also adapted into a live-action version in 2020.
Even if you dress yourself up in various ways and suppress your true self, the seams show somewhere… It depicts the conflicts we all feel as we grow into adulthood.
It’s a short song, but it’s filled with Mulan’s heartrending emotions.
If you’re struggling with your own inner conflicts, why not sing it at karaoke and trace Mulan’s feelings alongside your own?
Reach for the skyKuraki Mai
When you’re feeling a little tired, I recommend Mai Kuraki’s “Reach for the sky.” Released in 2000 as her sixth single, this song gently soaks in with its calm melody and Mai Kuraki’s soft vocals.
Centered around the memorable “ahaha” phrase, the lyrics give you a tender push forward and leave you feeling refreshed—as if a blue sky is opening up in your heart.
It’s a heartwarming ballad filled with hope for the future.
Reach for the SkyKasamura Tōta
Tota Kasamura, who has produced many piano ballad Vocaloid songs.
The piece he created using GUMI entirely in English is “Reach for the Sky.” This song portrays a woman who throws herself into the sea.
The scenery as seen from the ocean floor is depicted as both beautiful and cruel.
Try listening while substituting the sea and stones mentioned in the lyrics with various other things.
Also captivating is the richly expressive singing achieved with GUMI.
Every single word of the lyrics is filled with emotion.
recallYagi Kairi
One of the ending theme songs for The Irregular at Magic High School Season 3 by Kairi Yagi explores themes of self-identity and relationships with others, shaking listeners’ hearts with a delicate yet powerful expressiveness.
Written and composed by her at the young age of 25 and released on April 13, 2024, the song is a significant milestone in her musical career.
Yagi’s rich vocals and melody beautifully capture the emotional fluctuations between self and others.
The lyrics, linked to the anime’s serious worldview, reflect weighty themes such as friendship, sacrifice, and decisions, while quietly resonating with the listener.
Put your feelings for someone special into the song and try singing it in front of the man you have in mind.
Twisting like a dragon, vivid mindRin to shite Shigure
Ling tosite sigure is a band that delivers a rock sound so rich and heavy, you’d never guess they’re a three-piece.
The group consists of TK—who writes the songs and fronts the band—bassist 345, the female member, and the widely recognized drummer, Pierre Nakano.
TK’s piercing high-tone vocals intertwined with the band’s intricate, technical sound are truly one of a kind.
They channel a cool yet passionate performance infused with a wide range of emotions.
Be sure to pay attention to the call-and-response style twin vocals by TK and 345.

Princess Knightmaekawa yōko, runa arumoniko
This is the opening theme of the anime that began airing in 1967, based on Osamu Tezuka’s shōjo manga Princess Knight.
The story features Princess Sapphire as both heroine and hero, and it’s often said to have been influenced by the Takarazuka Revue, particularly through the motif of a “beautiful woman in men’s attire.” Its European-style setting is a major part of the work’s appeal, and the fanfare at the beginning and the light, buoyant sound convey a glamorous atmosphere.
Yoko Maekawa’s vocals also reinforce the world of the story; her singing blends bravery and charm, creating a song that seems to portray the way Princess Sapphire lives her life.
