Vocaloid ballad masterpieces [tear-jerking, heartrending] (41–50)
See you next week.Ashu
Despite its lighthearted greeting, this piece grips the heart with the sorrow of an endless battle.
It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Ashu, released in January 2026.
Using the motif of a magical girl, it portrays the hidden, solitary wounds suffered behind everyday life.
The ballad-style arrangement exudes a sense of resignation that tightens the chest.
I think it especially resonates when you’re alone and overwhelmed by loneliness.

Rem’s MagicKasamura Tōta
An emotionally moving Vocaloid ballad that feels like it stays close to a troubled heart.
It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Tota Kasamura, known for piano-centered, soul-stirring musicality, released in 2021.
Both the sound and the vocals are utterly enchanting—the clarity is just incredible.
Be sure to pay attention to the chorus work that’s so characteristic of Tota Kasamura.
If you’re feeling “kind of restless and can’t fall asleep,” this might resonate especially deeply.
Have a handkerchief ready, and enjoy.
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.”

It’s a song that makes you feel like you might cry when you listen to it—especially when you’re just barely getting through each day or giving it your all.
I’ve heard it was made for people who are simply living, which explains why it gently sinks into your heart.
It’s a song I highly recommend when you’re feeling tired.
The day I cried for the first timeKasamura Tōta
Because we have someone precious, we can keep pushing ourselves…
You may have heard that phrase before, but surely it’s something everyone has felt at some point, isn’t it? These lyrics express that feeling, singing, “You’re my everyday source of strength.” The calm piano accompaniment heightens the song’s moving atmosphere even more.
It’s an emotional song that makes you want to go see the person you cherish as you listen.
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.
Mélusinen-buna
Each time I listened to it again and again, my own interpretation deepened, and before I knew it, I was in tears.
I can’t help wondering what happened to this girl afterward, and the fact that the outcome can feel completely opposite depending on my mood when I listen—that, too, is part of the song’s appeal.
