Lovely Vocaloid

Masterpieces of Vocaloid Ballads [Tear-Jerking / Heart-Wrenching]

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

When you’re feeling wistful or sad, what kind of music do you listen to?

Some people might choose bright, uplifting tracks.

But I bet quite a few prefer slower songs that seem to stay close to how they’re feeling in the moment.

So in this article, I’ve put together a collection of Vocaloid ballads.

I’ve picked out a wide range, from recent hits to long-loved classics.

I hope you find a song that fits your heart perfectly.

Listening to it, you strangely feel as if you’ve wandered into another world.

It’s a stylish ballad with a wonderful sense of weightlessness.

The sound image, where lightness and tenderness blend exquisitely, is irresistible.

You’ll be drawn into the lyrics’ fantastical worldview as well.

If you listen to it when you’re alone and feeling a bit lonely, it might just keep you company.

It’s a soft yet beautiful ballad that evokes a sense of nostalgia.

The singer is LUMi, a VOCALOID released in 2017 who has the mysterious background of being the “Shrine Maiden of the Immortal Jellyfish.” For Harumaki Gohan, the composer, this was the first song using LUMi’s voice, and her conversational singing style harmonizes perfectly with the world the song creates.

Picon – I Wanted to Dance to Your Pulse ft. Hatsune Miku

I wanted to dance to your heartbeat.Pikon

It’s a classic, gently emotional ballad with piano and strings.

While many vocaloid songs shine when sung by human vocalists, am I the only one who feels this piece is truly a “song for VOCALOID”? The lyrics, which depict delicate shifts of the heart, are given soul by Hatsune Miku’s voice and strike deeply at the listener’s heart.
