Don't lose itKou Shimizu

Mustn't Lose / Kou feat. Satou Sasara

“Let’s cherish the person by our side now more than ever.” This is a moving song that inspires that feeling.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Kou Shimizu, released in May 2023, and it was created as a gift for a close friend who was getting married.

The chorus has such a lovely line: “Just by adding one to one, we can become this happy.” You can picture a couple spending their lives together.

With beautiful strings and piano that can bring you to tears, it’s a warm, heartfelt ballad.

If your sky is going to cryYuji

If Your Sky Cries / Hatsune Miku

Composed by Yuzy, the song was released in October 2025 and was written specifically for MORE MORE JUMP! in the game “Project SEKAI: Colorful Stage! feat.

Hatsune Miku.” Yuzy reportedly replayed the event story for dozens of hours to deeply understand the characters and weave the lyrics.

Carried by an emotionally moving sound, it conveys the desire to reach out a helping hand to someone dear who is suffering.

When you feel lonely, when you long for warmth, please give this song a listen.

But you know,Atsu Mizuno

But You Know feat. KAF – Atsu Mizuno

One of the charms of Vocaloid is how it conveys a wide range of emotions despite its mechanical singing voice.

If you’re looking for a bittersweet, delicate ballad, “Demo ne” is perfect.

Created in 2021 by Vocaloid producer Atsu Mizuno—who’s garnered attention for many songs featuring KAFU—this track’s simple yet moving sound, built from piano and vocals, is sure to bring tears.

KAFU’s emotional singing, which feels strikingly human, is also a must-hear.

It’s a masterpiece that can support your heart when love or life isn’t going your way.

wowaka (Genjitsu Tōhi P) feat. Hatsune Miku – Te no Hira

Although wowaka is often associated with fast-paced, super energetic songs, this track has a relaxed, somehow nostalgic feel that’s very appealing.

The lyrics do, of course, but the melody itself tugs at your heartstrings, making it overwhelming to listen to.

[Vocaloid] Glow – Miku Append Dark [Vietsub]

This is the first song Keeno posted on Nico Nico Douga, tagged as a “legendary Dark master.” Its level of completion is so high that people at the time speculated Keeno must have had prior musical experience.

Keeno’s songs are characterized by guitar arpeggios and gentle melodies.

This song, which sings of a lover one cannot forget even after parting, is poetic and a masterpiece that stands in the history of Vocaloid music.

Together until it clears upTohta Kasamura

Together Until It Clears Up / feat. Amekasa

This is a gentle Vocaloid song that softly stays close to a wounded heart and speaks of waiting together for a brighter future.

The piece, graced by beautiful piano melodies, is a track by Vocaloid producer Tota Kasamura, released in June 2025.

Featuring Amaginu as the vocalist, its lyrics carry a warm message that gently gives you a push forward.

When your heart is tired or you’re longing for someone’s kindness, listening to it will surely bring you comfort.

Your ShapeTohta Kasamura

Your Shape / feat. Nayuka

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.
