Masterpieces of Vocaloid Ballads [Tear-Jerking & Heart-Wrenching] (81–90)
StardusterJimii Samu P
This song was created with “space” as one of its themes.
The feelings described in the lyrics—being hesitant or evasive about love—are something everyone has experienced, aren’t they? That indescribable bittersweetness really tugs at the heart.
From the intro, the synths sway and shimmer, and along with the sparkling sounds, they evoke a mysterious sensation, as if you’re drifting through the cosmos.
Be sure to listen with earphones or headphones.
A sky that’s more tearful than usualrereriri
It’s billed as the “supreme ballad,” but apparently that’s just by their own standards.
That playful touch is part of the charm of rerulili’s debut work.
It’s a band-style piece that lavishly incorporates the tones of acoustic guitar and piano.
The richly emotional sound is wonderfully soothing.
Showers and the Little Cuckoomtrika
A very beautiful piece built around a piano sound.
“Guu-u to Hototogisu” by mtrika, released in April 2024.
The transparent tone and Hatsune Miku’s calm vocals are exquisitely balanced, conjuring up a fantastical early-summer nightscape.
From both the timbre and the lyrics, you can feel a slightly cool atmosphere.
Why not listen to it as a companion to your moments of contemplation?
Instead of goodbye, a bouquet -strings.ver-hanataba P
This is a self-arranged version of Hana-taba P’s debut work, “Instead of Goodbye, a Bouquet.” The string arrangement makes it even more moving.
Its straightforward and accessible metaphors are easy to relate to and have resonated with many listeners.
Regret messageAku no P
A possible epilogue to the stories of “Daughter of Evil” and “Servant of Evil”… or perhaps not.
As stated in the video description, please enjoy it in your own way.
Where will the bottle carrying the girl’s wish drift ashore? This work was released in 2008.
shekeeno
Vocaloid producer keeno, whose debut song “glow” went million and entered the Hall of Fame, drew huge attention right from the start.
This song “she” was released exactly ten years after “glow.” In the video’s comment section, keeno also shares words of gratitude, making it a delightful track for fans.
Carried by keeno’s characteristically beautiful tones are lyrics that trace an unrequited love—an achingly moving, heartrending piece.
If you’re struggling with a painful crush, please give it a listen.
Vocaloid Ballad Masterpieces [Tearjerking & Bittersweet] (91–100)
soundless voiceHitoshizuku P
This is a sad Vocaloid ballad depicting a farewell to a loved one.
It was uploaded to Nico Nico Douga in 2008 and became a hot topic, and a remake version was released in 2012.
The wistful piano tones, which seem to express the protagonist’s feelings, really sink into the heart.
