Vocaloid Songs for When You Want to Cry [Moving and Heart-wrenching]

Kurayasukoppu

[Hatsune Miku Soft] Kuraiya [Original Song with PV]

When you start thinking about the meaning of life, it turns into a quagmire—you can’t get out of it, can you… This song is by the Vocaloid producer scOpe, known for works like “Irony” and “Keppekishou,” and it was released in 2013.

The tender piano tones gently wrap around the wistful band sound—its sound alone is enough to make you cry.

And of course, it’s the feelings woven into the lyrics.

You just want to be happy, and yet why does it hurt this much? It’s impossible not to empathize with that sentiment.

Hatsune Miku Clown

It’s an up-tempo song that gives you energy just by listening.

Some people might find clowns scary, but this might change how you feel about them.

Each phrase in the lyrics is very warm and resonates with the heart.

Yoshiwara Lamentasa

[Kasane Teto] Yoshiwara Lament [Original]

This is a Japanese-style Vocaloid song whose lyrics trace the sorrowful feelings of a woman.

It’s a signature track by Asa, a Vocaloid producer also known as the bassist of the rock group Wagakki Band, released in 2012.

The rock sound incorporates tones that evoke a traditional Japanese atmosphere in places—absolutely irresistible.

Another appeal is the highly narrative lyrics centered on the theme of an oiran.

The more you think about the protagonist, who couldn’t live freely, the tighter your chest feels.
