Call out to me on a starry nightudon taimā P
A call to the night sky weaves hope and bonds.
Created by Udon Timer P, it was released by KARENT in August 2025 to celebrate Hatsune Miku’s 18th anniversary, with the music video premiering in October.
This is a dreamlike ballad centered on piano, where shimmering synth pads and bell-like embellishments envelop Miku’s transparent vocals.
The lyrics warmly sing of wishes for the future and human connection against a backdrop of falling stars.
Please listen on a quiet night while thinking of someone dear to you.
Just FriendsYasuha.
The pain that comes precisely from changing from friends to romantic interests… it’s a tear-jerking love song.
It’s a track by Yasuha., a Vocaloid producer who’s also active as a DJ, released in 2020.
The sound has an R&B vibe that gently seeps into your heart, and Miku’s transparent, airy voice is another part of its charm.
By the time you finish listening, you might find yourself in tears.
If you’ve ever experienced a love that couldn’t come true—one that was never going to work out—this will especially hit home.

Dreams, sometimes…marashii
This is a piece by the pianist Marasy, who gained attention for handling the music in a Toyota commercial.
It was released in 2010 as Marasy’s first original Vocaloid song.
It’s a tear-jerking Vocaloid ballad that sings about feelings for a beloved person one can meet only in dreams.
PuzzleKuwagata P
Included on the 2010 album “Flashback Sound.” From the intro, the weeping-sounding guitar melody really grabs me.
The contrast with the piano is beautiful too, fitting both a bittersweet state of mind and emotions on the verge of overflowing.
It feels like my feelings are about to undergo a gestalt collapse! The days I lost without noticing, and the days we laughed together—surely both are irreplaceably precious.
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.
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.
Crybaby BoyfriendHONEY WORKS
A heartrending song depicting the breakup between a crybaby boyfriend and a strong-willed girlfriend.
You can feel the time they spent together—smiling and crying while thinking of each other—coming through and touching the heart.
The way the two try to face a sad farewell with smiles is deeply poignant, and you can sense the love they have built up until now.
