Vocaloid Ballad Masterpieces [Tearjerking & Bittersweet] (91–100)
StardusterJimii Samu P
This is a song created with the theme of “cats and space.” The distinctive synthesizer sound in the intro gives a strong sense of the cosmos.
The chorus conveys a heartrending cry in search of love, creating a different atmosphere from the verses.
It’s a sad song about being alone in space.
Your ShapeKasamura Tōta
This song, where Nayuka’s voice gently nestles close to your heart, is a ballad released by Tota Kasamura in September 2025.
The story unfolds as we realize that the presence of someone precious, etched deep within the hollow of our chest, is life itself.
Precisely because it’s arranged with only piano and vocals, the emotions embedded in the lyrics are conveyed directly.
It’s a track I want you to listen to when you’re feeling the pain of losing someone, yet finding the resolve to keep living.
Cardiac DemocracyMikito P
Mikito-P is a Vocaloid producer known for poignant rock-style sounds.
“Shinzou Democracy” is a Vocaloid song released in 2012, included on the compilation CD EXIT TUNES PRESENTS Supernova 7.
Its lyrics are abstract and open to multiple interpretations, which has captivated many listeners.
It was released simultaneously with a version sung by the utaite Uu-chan, so be sure to compare the two!
Chain Girlnoboru↑P
A Vocaloid song released on Niconico in 2009 that made it into the Hall of Fame in just four days.
The creator, Noboru↑P, produces a wide range of works, from pop to gritty tracks! The powerful lyrics—about unfastening your chains and moving toward hope through your own strength—leave a strong impression.
It’s a popular song that continues to be listened to even years after its release, achieving one million views in 2012.
Nayuta no Utanayuta
It’s a ballad whose endlessly clear, transparent singing voice is its greatest charm.
This track was produced as a demo song for the VoiSona singing synthesis software library “Nayuta.” Nayuta is based on the voice of nayuta, known as a vocalist.
The silky vocals fit perfectly with the spacious, three-dimensional sound arrangement! The lyrics express a wish for “the infinite possibilities of music.” I think it will gently give you a push when you want to start something new!
confessionKanzaki Iori
Set to a heartrending melody, feelings of farewell are sung.
Released in 2018 as a song by Kanzaki Iori and later included on the album “Hakushi,” it poignantly voices regret over a past romance and emotions for days that can never return.
The piano-centered arrangement unfolds dramatically toward the latter half, making it feel as though every note carries emotion.
It’s a work that blends gentleness with sorrow—one I’d like those suffering from the pain of parting to hear.
Wish SongKanzaki Iori
This song by Kanzaki Iori features introspective lyrics that confront one’s own struggles.
I believe the worries depicted in the lyrics are ones that everyone has felt at some point.
That doesn’t mean those worries are easily solved; we have to go on living with them.
This piece gives you the courage to keep fighting—accepting those worries and hardships—so you can gain confidence in yourself.
By the time you finish reading the lyrics, I’m sure you’ll find your eyes welling up with tears.
