Masterpieces of Vocaloid Ballads [Tearjerkers & Bittersweet] (151–160)
Summer’s TransparencybuzzG
BuzzG is a Vocaloid producer known for rock tunes featuring intense guitar work.
While many of his songs are relatively fast-paced, the wistful ballad “Natsu no Toumei” showcases his signature guitar.
The song’s hallmark is the contrast between the beautiful arpeggios that come in from the left channel during the A section and the distorted guitars spreading to both sides in the chorus.
In particular, the guitar tone known as “crunch,” which isn’t over-distorted, achieves a finely tuned sound that truly moves the listener.
The music video’s animation is also beautiful, so be sure to check it out along with the song.
Last Night, Good NightKz
“Last Night, Good Night” by kz, who created numerous masterpieces such as “Packaged” and “Yellow.” Unlike most of his works, this one does not use a four-on-the-floor beat.
It makes great use of Hatsune Miku’s vocal timbre, with a chorus distinguished by its soaring high notes.
signo.ken（neko）
This is the second original VOCALOID song by o.ken (neko).
It’s a rock ballad that portrays Hatsune Miku’s heartrending feelings as she waits for a master who will never return.
The straightforward, unadorned lyrics and the soaring high notes in the chorus pierce the heart.
Bride of Februaryrisou
“February Bride” is a wedding song composed by Chinmari-P and released in 2016.
Hatsune Miku sings the tender, bittersweet melody that carries the feelings of a woman who has nurtured her love.
It’s a ballad imbued with the creator’s wish for happiness, and because the lyrics are written from a woman’s perspective and match the gentle tone of the music, I think it’s a song that will really resonate with women.
Even though you’re the closest one to me in the worldsamfree
“Even Though I’m the Closest in the World” is a song by samfree, a Vocaloid producer who passed away at a young age.
Released in 2008, it earned Hall of Fame status on Nico Nico Douga.
It’s a piece that feels as if it’s sung by Hatsune Miku to the composer, with a gentle voice that hardly feels electronic, conveying, “I’ll keep singing by your side.” It’s an encouraging ballad that soothes and supports those who are giving their best.
