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

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.

It feels like the music slowly, slowly seeps deep into your chest—utterly irresistible.

The lyrics, which express feelings for a precious person who is no longer here, also really tug at the heartstrings.

Highly recommended for those who love emotional tracks.

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.
