A heartwarming Vocaloid tune that gently lights up a lonely holy night.

The soft vocals trace the feelings of a protagonist spending Christmas alone in a studio apartment.

Pleasant band sounds and vocal work tenderly express the hope that exists within loneliness.

[Hatsune Miku] Miku Christmas (Final Version) ~The Shape of Happiness~

This is a Christmas song sung by Hatsune Miku for people who have to spend Christmas alone.

The track is by doriko, a Vocaloid producer known for creating numerous classics such as “Romeo and Cinderella,” and it was released in 2007.

Since it uses the melody of “Jingle Bells,” it feels familiar even on first listen.

The lively, band-driven arrangement is fun and delightful, too! You could say it’s a work that lets you experience the atmosphere from the early days of the Vocaloid music scene.

Winter Magician / KAF

The Christmas season, when the city is dyed in dazzling colors, is portrayed with a cynical gaze in “The Winter Magician.” Created in 2022 by Vocaloid producer Fujiwo, who drew attention with the hit “Selfish Princess,” it’s a grand orchestral piece where a 3/4 rhythm carries beautiful strings and chorus.

As the narrator watches couples happily strolling, the lyrics trace a creeping ache of loneliness, intertwining with KAFU’s mechanical vocals.

The evolving sound—shifting into a subtly ominous timbre—and the radiant final melody together evoke a sense of story in this Vocaloid track.

[Snow Miku] Before the Snow Melts / doriko feat. Hatsune Miku [SNOW MIKU 2016]

Set against a vast, pure-white snowy landscape, “Before the Snow Melts” sings about the budding of pure romantic feelings.

Created by Vocaloid producer doriko—known for signature songs like “Romeo and Cinderella”—as the official theme song for SNOW MIKU 2016, it pairs aggressive guitar work with intertwining synths, over which Hatsune Miku’s translucent vocals resonate.

It’s a Vocaloid track that captures a cute crush: dreaming of meeting that special someone while enjoying winter sports.

Be sure to give this refreshing winter song a listen and let its uplifting melody and lyrics soothe you.
