Lovely Vocaloid

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

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

When you’re feeling wistful or sad, what kind of music do you listen to?

Some people might choose bright, uplifting tracks.

But I bet quite a few prefer slower songs that seem to stay close to how they’re feeling in the moment.

So in this article, I’ve put together a collection of Vocaloid ballads.

I’ve picked out a wide range, from recent hits to long-loved classics.

I hope you find a song that fits your heart perfectly.

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.

“Saragoto” depicts a scene overflowing with love for someone precious who is no longer by your side.

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.

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.
