seems like (just) my imaginationChōchō P
The lyrics are heartrending, but I think the song is crafted so that the kindness felt in the final line makes everything add up.
The lyrics portray her taking a step back, and his feelings as he takes a step toward her.
Released in 2014, it quickly became a beloved classic.
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.
Together until it clears upKasamura Tōta
This is a gentle Vocaloid song that softly stays close to a wounded heart and speaks of waiting together for a brighter future.
The piece, graced by beautiful piano melodies, is a track by Vocaloid producer Tota Kasamura, released in June 2025.
Featuring Amaginu as the vocalist, its lyrics carry a warm message that gently gives you a push forward.
When your heart is tired or you’re longing for someone’s kindness, listening to it will surely bring you comfort.
I’m glad you’re a bad person too.Pinokio P
This is a warm Vocaloid song I’d love for people in their turbulent, worry-filled adolescent years to hear.
I think it will lift the spirits of those who are struggling.
Its gentle, ballad-like melody and Hatsune Miku’s vocals seep deep into the heart.
Heart rate #0822Chōchō P
A ballad by Chouchou-P that feels quite different from his signature tracks “Black Board” and “Eh? Ah, Sou.” It includes the sound of a heartbeat and asks about the meaning of life.
The theme is heavy, but you can’t help being drawn in.
Look for the thumbnail with a heart on a white background.
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!
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.
