“Embrace” is filled with messages that give you the courage to take a step forward in life.

Created in 2021 by Yuu Komaki, a Vocaloid producer who also works as a singer-songwriter, it unfolds with a classical band arrangement featuring the warm tones of strings.

The lyrics, which portray people struggling to live through days that don’t always go well, are sure to soothe the heart.

It’s a ballad where Hatsune Miku’s tender vocals—enveloping loneliness and anxiety—resonate.

Listen closely to the warm phrases that may inspire you to live more positively.

Room 109 That Won’t MeltTaKU.K

[Hatsune Miku] Room 109 That Won't Melt [Original MV]

A melancholic, story-like Vocaloid track that feels modern yet as if you’re peering into a fairy-tale world.

It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer TaKU.K, also known for works like “The Hedonist’s Happy Table” and “The Imbecile’s Fall Tale,” released in 2020.

The waltz-like composition, with beautifully resonant piano tones, lends greater depth to its world-building.

A tragedy born precisely out of love…

Please listen for yourself to discover how it all ends.

When I grow upatatakai suizokukan

When I Grow Up / Hatsune Miku

This song portrays the pure dreams of childhood and the inner conflict of becoming an adult.

Created by Warm Aquarium, it was released in May 2024.

Hatsune Miku’s matter-of-fact vocal delivery is striking, and it pairs well with the nostalgic melody and electronica elements woven into the arrangement.

It begins with scenes of self-questioning in a six-tatami room, then unfolds into memories lost in the process of growing up and the anxiety that brings.

It’s the kind of song that can move you to tears when you’re feeling sentimental.

Living in the twilightKasamura Tōta

Living in the Twilight / feat. MEIKO

A Vocaloid song that blends poignancy and emotional intensity, singing, “It’s painful, but I can keep living because you’re here.” It’s a track by Tota Kasamura, a Vocaloid producer known for piano ballads, released in March 2023.

It serves as an answer song to the 2020 release “Halten o Ugatsu” (Piercing the Clear Sky), expressing feelings toward the protagonist of that song within “Living in the Twilight.” The message resonates precisely because the characters care deeply for each other.

A mashup version combining the two songs I mentioned has also been released, so be sure to give that a listen as well.

Edward ScissorhandsNem

Scissorhands / Hatsune Miku

This is a piece of music based on the film Edward Scissorhands.

The horn section in the backing track balances the overall sound, resulting in a very pleasant, jazzy finish.

It portrays a poignant love story about a modified human man who falls in love with a human girl.

[Kagamine Rin] Paper Airplane

It’s a love song about a frail girl with a short life and a boy who is a prisoner.

As time passes, her illness progresses, until she can no longer walk, and they become unable to meet, without even being able to say goodbye.

It’s a song that teaches the importance of expressing what you feel each day.

[Bottom-tier Original] Swimmy - Hatsune Miku

This work was created by volunteers who gathered in the Nico Nico Douga community “Assembly Hall for Bottom-tier Producers,” pooling their strength.

Like in “Swimmy,” even if each individual is weak, when we come together, we can surely stand up to famous producers—Hatsune Miku sings this passionate conviction with powerful vocals.
