The Last Confession of the Earthkemu

I think everyone has wished at least once, “I don’t want to grow up,” or “If only I could become ageless and never die, I’d have infinite time.” This is the story of a boy whose wish actually came true.
The sorrow of having to go on living even after your family and loved ones are gone really comes through, and it brings tears to your eyes.

It’s definitely there.Kasamura Tōta

The song I especially want people who feel lonely at school or work, with a tightness in their chest, to listen to is “Chanto Aru yo.” It was created in 2021 by Vocaloid producer Tota Kasamura, known for choral pieces like “Shokuzai.” A powerful, dramatically unfolding piano sound resonates throughout.
Kafu’s raw breathing, expressing emotions just as they are, brings tears.
The gentle message marked out at a slow tempo will wrap around you.
It’s a Vocaloid ballad I hope you’ll play when you want to have a good cry.
But you know,Mizuno Atsu

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.
nonsenserinri

“Saragoto” depicts a scene overflowing with love for someone precious who is no longer by your side.
Created by rinri, who made their Vocaloid debut in 2022, it’s a track where a fantastical soundscape gently resonates.
Lyrics about two people who drift apart even while looking at the same scenery stir up deep emotions.
With Nanakaha Hime’s emotive, conversational singing, the song conveys a striking human warmth.
Please lend an ear to this ballad where a crystalline melody intertwines with honest, unguarded feelings.
Echoes of a rainy voicemikanboshi P

A ballad by IA that’s perfect for rainy days.
IA sings passionately over a simple piano accompaniment.
The melody line is beautiful.
It sings about worries everyone struggles with at least once during adolescence.
Included on the album “Mikansei Eight Beats.”
glowkeeno

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.
Cherry Blossom Rainhalyosy

Among Vocaloid fans, it’s a classic graduation song that needs no introduction.
At one point, it was so mainstream that it was sung at graduation ceremonies in various elementary and junior high schools.
It’s perfect for listening during graduation season or farewells, but it’s also recommended for solitary moments when you want to reminisce about the past.
