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

from Y to YJimii Samu P

Hatsune Miku from Y to Y

It’s a grand ballad themed around heartbreak.

The title “from Y to Y” seems to play on the English idiom “from A to Z” (from beginning to end).

It portrays the relationship with a lover from its beginning to its end.

To my loved onesKasamura Tōta

To My Precious People / feat. Hatsune Miku

When the song began and I saw the first lyrics, I was already done for.

After that, I could hardly manage to listen to the song while looking at the lyrics.

Pressing my fingertips to my eyes, I simply listened as the vocals and piano flowed by.

All I could do was earnestly wish and pray for the happiness of someone precious to me.

Though it carries a sense of loneliness, it’s a song that remains gentle to the very end.

Reach for the SkyKasamura Tōta

Reach for the Sky　/ feat. GUMI

Tota Kasamura, who has produced many piano ballad Vocaloid songs.

The piece he created using GUMI entirely in English is “Reach for the Sky.” This song portrays a woman who throws herself into the sea.

The scenery as seen from the ocean floor is depicted as both beautiful and cruel.

Try listening while substituting the sea and stones mentioned in the lyrics with various other things.

Also captivating is the richly expressive singing achieved with GUMI.

Every single word of the lyrics is filled with emotion.

When I die,tsuna.

“When I Die,” / feat. KAFU Music Video

This track features KAFU on vocals.

Transparent, airy singing floats over a gentle band sound, quietly bringing to the surface the loneliness and sense of loss that lie deep within.

The “what if” question suggested by the title invites you to reconsider the meaning of living.

When your heart feels tired or you want a quiet moment to face yourself, take the time to listen closely.

Don't Say Goodbye / feat. KAFU

“Don’t Say Goodbye” is a song by MIMI, released in June 2023.

The gentle tones of piano and acoustic guitar seem to sink into your heart, and KAF’s earnest vocals tenderly embrace the parts of yourself that feel fragile.

Many listeners are sure to find comfort in its message: “It’s okay not to push yourself—wait until you’re ready to face forward.” When you’re worn out, this piece feels like it’s right there beside you.

It’s especially recommended for solitary listening on a quiet night.

Pure White / KAFU

It’s a ballad where salvation and a curse are two sides of the same coin.

The track is by Vocaloid producer Naisho no Pierce, known for songs like “Proposal,” and its music video was released in November 2025.

While it conveys a sense of resignation toward life, the protagonist’s life is tethered by someone precious, which is deeply moving.

It feels emblematic of the creator’s style—“adorable yet depressingly beautiful”—and the more you listen, the more the bittersweetness wells up.

Why not give it a listen on nights when you want to fill the hole in your heart or sink into a sentimental mood?

Taketombo / feat. Vocoflex

It’s a captivating Vocaloid ballad with lyrics that touch the heart and a beautiful melody.

Created by Tota Kasamura and released in May 2024, it portrays loneliness and the pain of parting while singing of hope for reunion—a song that truly resonates.

You can’t help but be drawn into the gentle piano tones and the harmony with the vocals.

I think it will especially strike a chord with those who have experienced parting with someone precious.
