Vocaloid Ballad Masterpieces [Tearjerking & Bittersweet] (91–100)
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.
prisonerShūjin P
It portrays the tragedy of two people who should never have met, who do meet and are then torn apart—and that alone is enough to make you cry.
On top of that, the raised-pitch vocal quality unique to VOCALOID sounds like a pained scream, squeezing my heart.
I can’t believe this song is the author’s debut work.
Losing You (Part I)Yasuha.
A longing for someone precious whom you can never meet again… This R&B ballad portrays that painful sense of loss.
It’s a work by the Vocaloid producer Yasuha., also known for “Sukinononi” and “On Your Side,” released in 2017.
The song is included on the album “DIVERSITY.” Centered on a beautiful piano melody, the refined sound blends with Hatsune Miku’s fragile vocals, seeping deep into the heart.
The lyrics vividly convey the protagonist’s regret over time that cannot be reclaimed and words once exchanged, tightening the chest.
It might even bring back a cherished memory within you.
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!
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!
Paletteyuyoyuppe
This is a masterpiece born from the collaboration of Yuyoyuppe and meola.
Waves of sound spread out over an intense synth-driven base.
Megurine Luka’s mature timbre and natural singing using the English library further elevate the atmosphere.
It was released in 2009.
crackkeeno
This is a deeply moving song that links rain and tears.
It describes a red thread that was supposed to be tightly tied coming undone.
Even after the heartbreak, they still can’t forget the other person, and their chest aches—it’s palpable and heartbreaking.
The crystalline harmony of the guitar riff and vocals is beautiful, seeping deeper and deeper into the heart.
