Vocaloid Ballad Masterpieces [Tearjerkers & Heart-wrenching] (61–70)
Butterfly’s DreamVeil
“Butterfly’s Dream,” imbued with a sincere longing to keep a loved one by your side, is a song produced in 2023 by the Vocaloid producer Veill.
Centered on a relationship fated to drift apart, it conveys a warm affection that cherishes the other person just as they are.
Hatsune Miku’s clear, luminous vocals shine over a melody where ethereal synths intertwine with strings.
It is a ballad that paints a fragile yet beautiful love story unfolding like a tale.
Please give it a listen and let its gentle, soothing sound heal your heart.
Karakuri Pierrot40mP
“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!
Campanellasasakure P
Those with a keen eye may have already noticed, but this song is based on Kenji Miyazawa’s novel Night on the Galactic Railroad.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer sasakureP, also known as sasakure.UK, released in 2009.
The lyrics express feelings for a beloved person who has gone far away.
Perhaps due to its progressive style, it draws you into a mysterious worldview.
Patchwork Staccatotoa
This heart-wrenching song captures the feelings of a one-sided love that can’t be conveyed and the delicate relationship with someone you like.
It was released on a video-sharing site in 2014.
The minimalist production and lyrics evoke an image of a clock’s second hand quietly moving forward.
Don’t go.Souta
This is a song that unfolds with a lively rhythm, both refreshing and bittersweet, evoking the feeling of summer.
It is Sota’s eighth work.
The song skillfully incorporates steady programmed sounds, while the flute and piano layered on top convey a sense of poignancy.
With straightforward lyrics, it’s a song about saying goodbye.
tenohira (palm of the hand)wowaka
Although wowaka is often associated with fast-paced, super energetic songs, this track has a relaxed, somehow nostalgic feel that’s very appealing.
The lyrics do, of course, but the melody itself tugs at your heartstrings, making it overwhelming to listen to.
Lifetamaa~zu P
It’s a song that makes you feel like you might cry when you listen to it—especially when you’re just barely getting through each day or giving it your all.
I’ve heard it was made for people who are simply living, which explains why it gently sinks into your heart.
It’s a song I highly recommend when you’re feeling tired.
