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

Can you put it in the past tense?Omoi

Can you put it in the past tense? / Hatsune Miku

You might find yourself in tears as you remember an old love.

This song by Omoi, a Vocaloid music unit also known for hits like “Teo” and “Greenlights Serenade,” was released in 2019.

It’s a fast-paced rock tune with a catchy vibe in both its arrangement and melody.

However, the lyrics, which describe an unfulfilled love, are heartbreakingly poignant.

“I just can’t forget that person, no matter how much time passes.” The more you think about the protagonist’s feelings, the more your eyes well up.

It’s a heartbreaking song that pierces the heart and makes you want to cover your eyes once you understand the title and lyrics.

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Nekomushi-P, also known as the creator of “Wanwan-o Nyannyan-o,” released in 2010.

After being mistreated by their lover, the protagonist realizes that they were never truly cherished.

The helplessness of the situation and the futility of it all bring tears to your eyes.

A love like this is just too painful… You can even sense a kind of resignation in the singing voice.

ACUTEKurousa-P

'Miku × Luka × Kaito' ACUTE [Original Song PV]

It’s a song about a love triangle, and in the end, a tragic fate awaits all three people.

It’s very popular and has even been adapted into a book.

I also recommend reading the novel, as it reveals the terrifying nature of human jealousy and the dangers of being consumed by desire.

Treading on Flowers / feat. IA

When it comes to Vocaloid songs that evoke nostalgic scenes while candidly singing about one’s honest feelings after youth has passed and adulthood has begun, “Hana wo Fumu” comes to mind.

Created in 2023 by Tota Kasamura, known for delivering numerous pieces composed for piano and vocals, the song portrays a figure confronting the things lost or forgotten in the process of growing up, expressing the resolve to face reality despite struggling and suffering.

It’s a ballad where IA’s pure yet fragile solo vocal intertwines with a wistful piano timbre, unfurling a springtime landscape before your eyes.

deep seaRiei

Abyss / feat. Hatsune Miku

Some of you may be carrying a sense of loss after heartbreak, unable to see the person you love.

For those people, I recommend listening to “Shinkai” (Deep Sea).

It’s a piece by the Vocaloid producer Riei, who debuted in 2021.

The song compares sinking into the deep sea to the experience of profound sorrow, despair, and the days that continue on even without the one you love.

At first glance, it may seem unbearably sad, but in the end it gently gives listeners a push forward.

There’s meaning embedded in the way the lyrics are written as well, so don’t just listen—be sure to check the words themselves, too.

When the morning glories fallpusu

At the Time Morning Glories Fall / Pusu feat. Hatsune Miku

This is a ballad featuring a memorable guitar tone that poignantly captures the end of summer.

Released by Pusu in March 2015, the song beautifully portrays scenes of memories fading away along with the sound of cicadas, brought to life through an arrangement that incorporates traditional Japanese elements.

It’s recommended for those moments when you want to savor a fleeting melancholy at dusk or sink into a nostalgic mood.

It will surely stay close to your heart.

Condolences, and life goes onUtagana Roku ft. Uramei

Condolences, and everyday life goes on / Uhahana Roku ft. Uramei

‘Mourning, and Then Life Goes On’ depicts, in an understated manner, the events of the day a beloved person passed away.

This song was created by Vocaloid producer ROKU Uhana using AI.

In the first half, the situation isn’t explicitly stated, but it gradually becomes clear that someone has died.

The piece is characterized by its detailed and realistic portrayal of the entire process of mourning the deceased.

As a result, anyone who has ever seen someone off will likely find it deeply relatable.
