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

Reach for the SkyKasamura Tōta

Reach for the Sky　/ feat. GUMI

Tota Kasamura, who has produced many piano ballad Vocaloid songs.

The piece he created using GUMI entirely in English is “Reach for the Sky.” This song portrays a woman who throws herself into the sea.

The scenery as seen from the ocean floor is depicted as both beautiful and cruel.

Try listening while substituting the sea and stones mentioned in the lyrics with various other things.

Also captivating is the richly expressive singing achieved with GUMI.

Every single word of the lyrics is filled with emotion.

Fragilekyiku

Fragile / Uramei・Kazehiki

“Kowaremono,” produced by Kyiku, was released in February 2024.

Built around the theme “It’s precisely because things break and disappear that we can recognize what truly matters,” its delicate melody and the vocals of Uranome and Kazehiki resonate deeply.

The song’s structure, which evolves from a dance-music approach into a rock-tinged arrangement, is also compelling.

It might be perfect for times when you’re tormented by a sense of loss or when you want to reevaluate your relationships with those you cherish.

It’s goodbyeNakase Miru

It’s goodbye

This is a breakup song that realizes the distance between longing and reality.

Created by Miru Nakase, it was included on the album “i m u,” released in June 2025, with a music video released in September.

The protagonist’s feeling—being drawn precisely because the other person was so different—comes across painfully through IA’s clear, transparent vocals.

The dramatic sound, which unfolds from a quiet beginning into an outpouring of emotion, is also striking.

On nights when you face alone the unbridgeable gap with someone precious, this work will surely stay by your side.

I tried singing “letter song” [Wotamin ver.].

This work is a companion piece to the song “Yūhisaka” (“Sunset Hill”).

It is created around the theme of a letter from the protagonist of “Yūhisaka” to my future self ten years later.

If you’re in your teens, you’ve probably imagined what you’d be like in ten years at least once.

This is a song I want those people to listen to, to reflect on, and to be moved by.

The Sorcerer’s Apprenticekururingo

[JoJo Hand-Drawn MAD] The Sorcerer’s Apprentice with Caesar

An original GUMI song by Kururingo, notable for its strong narrative tone and a fantastical, mysterious atmosphere.

It has a tag that says “You should watch until the end,” so be sure to follow that advice.

It’s also available for karaoke distribution.

GLACIESMIMI

“GLACIES” / MIMI feat. Hatsune Miku

When you find yourself thinking, “I’m exhausted by life,” this song is sure to be a source of comfort.

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer MIMI—known for hits like “Mashumarry” and “Issei no de”—released in March 2023.

Although the song has a brisk pace, what swirls in your heart as you listen is a blend of wistfulness and peace.

The polished sound, the cohesive melody line, and Miku’s down-to-earth vocals resonate in your ears and your chest.

It’s a gentle Vocaloid song that feels like someone sitting beside you, listening to your story.
