In the season of colors. A collection of Vocaloid songs perfect for autumn [refreshing, wistful]

Butterfly on the Right ShoulderNori-P

Kagamine Len Original Song: “Butterfly on the Right Shoulder”

A dance tune with a backbeat that makes you want to start moving just by listening.

The futuristic feel of the effects and the modern sense of loneliness expressed in the lyrics strangely match.

The key isn’t high, so it’s easy to sing, which is another feature.

Happy HalloweenJunky

Happy Halloween / Junky feat. Kagamine Rin

This song, which became a hot topic after being featured in a TikTok commercial, is a track by Vocaloid producer Junky—known for hits like “Melancholic”—and was released in 2014.

It’s a Halloween song written specifically for FamilyMart’s “Miku LOVES Famima Campaign 4th.” The catchy energy and slightly eerie vibe blend perfectly, making it irresistible! Put this on, gather your friends, and throw a Halloween party—it’s bound to be a delightful autumn night.

How about enjoying this song as part of the autumn reading season? It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer kemu—also known for “Jinsei Reset Button” and “Kamisama Nejimaki”—released in 2012.

The first thing that grabs you is the sheer power of the sound; even the intro alone draws you into the song’s world.

And what really deserves special mention are the lyrics.

They read almost like a novel, and just reading them is more than entertaining enough.

So, as I mentioned above, give this song a listen with that autumn-for-reading mindset.

Mizan/flower, Kaai Yuki

Stylish Vocaloid tracks might suit the cool vibe of autumn.

This piece by balloon, who is also active under the singer-songwriter name Keina Suda, was released in 2022.

It drew attention when it was featured as a segment theme on the music show “Buzz Rhythm 02.” High in loudness, catchy, yet tinged with melancholy—the sound arrangement is striking.

It’s a hybrid track blending elements of jazz, EDM, and rock.

I’d say it’s music that pairs well with the red hues of autumn leaves and sunsets.

“Become Empty” / feat. Hatsune Miku & KAFU

When the hot season passes and you start to feel a chill in the air, do you ever find yourself strangely overcome by loneliness more often? This song will be there to keep you company in those moments.

It’s a piece by Vocaloid producer MIMI, released in 2022.

Despite its very pop sound design, melody, and vocals, what comes through in the lyrics is a sense of loneliness—an electric tune that squeezes your heart tight.

Let the soundscape that seeps into your soul speak for itself—give it a listen with your own ears.

Rin Kagamine - Meltdown (Original)

Doesn’t its cool sound perfectly match the autumn atmosphere? This popular work by iroha, a Vocaloid producer known for drum and bass–centric music, was released in 2008.

It has a sense of speed, yet it isn’t an “upper” track; there’s a certain wistfulness to it.

Perhaps that’s due to the suggestive lyrics and the matter-of-fact melody.

It’s a classic that can’t be left out when discussing the history of the VOCALOID scene, having inspired numerous fan-made derivative works.

Be sure to give this one lo-fi, ambient track a listen on a quiet autumn night.

It’s by the Vocaloid producer Picon, also known as the creator of “Garando,” and it was released in 2021.

Its inclusion in the mobile game “Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! (Project SEKAI)” became a hot topic.

The sound arrangement creates a wistful atmosphere that draws you in.

The uniquely tuned vocals, with words seeming to fall one by one, are also captivating.

In any case, start by listening closely.
