Masterpieces of Vocaloid Ballads [Tear-Jerking & Melancholic] (51–60)
Heart rate #0822Chōchō P
A ballad by Chouchou-P that feels quite different from his signature tracks “Black Board” and “Eh? Ah, Sou.” It includes the sound of a heartbeat and asks about the meaning of life.
The theme is heavy, but you can’t help being drawn in.
Look for the thumbnail with a heart on a white background.
The happiest way to die in the worldkoka
Even with its striking title, “The Happiest Way to Die in the World” is drawing attention.
It’s a ballad that sings about the idea that “if everyone hates you, perhaps it wouldn’t be sad even if you were to die.” Take a moment to reflect on that perspective yourself.
Another appeal is how the simple piano tone accentuates IA’s vocals.
With its very quiet melody, it’s also perfect as a companion for relaxation time.
Until I throw away my dreams and become an adultKasamura Tōta
This song vividly portrays the inner turmoil that wavers between reality and dreams, recognizing that the period in life when we can truly do what we want is very short.
I don’t even know whether I have the choice to pursue my dream of becoming an artist or not.
Living between dreams and reality is painful, isn’t it?
White DaughterAku no P
According to the author, it was originally written for a novel.
Because of that, the lyrics are characterized by their explanatory, narrative style.
This song alone is moving enough to make you cry, but if you have time, I highly recommend listening to “Servant of Evil” and “Daughter of White” as well.
Understanding the interconnections makes it hard to simply hate the Daughter of Evil, and I think it will hit you in the heart.

Until I hold you in my arms.MIMI
Vocaloid producer MIMI is known for highly message-driven songs that resonate with teens.
They create a wide range of music, from cute pop to sentimental ballads.
“Until I Hold You” was produced in 2022.
Its straightforward piano sound, marked out at a slow tempo, leaves a strong impression.
You’ll find yourself relating to the lyrics, which depict feelings that are both beautiful and fragile.
Kafu’s transparent vocals soar over a moving melody line that brings tears to your eyes.
It’s a Vocaloid ballad that gently embraces those unbearably lonely moments.
Good morning, my songstress.Kasamura Tōta
This song features lyrics that convey the protagonist’s yearning to find someone precious, along with a beautifully resonant piano tone.
Created by Kasamura Tota, a Vocaloid producer renowned for ballads, it was released in 2020.
Thinking about the protagonist as they put their innermost feelings into words makes my chest tighten.
How will it end…? Please listen all the way to the end.
We also recommend the related tracks Lily of the Endless Night and Until Your Night Breaks.
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.
