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

confessionKanzaki Iori

Confession/Hatsune Miku

Set to a heartrending melody, feelings of farewell are sung.

Released in 2018 as a song by Kanzaki Iori and later included on the album “Hakushi,” it poignantly voices regret over a past romance and emotions for days that can never return.

The piano-centered arrangement unfolds dramatically toward the latter half, making it feel as though every note carries emotion.

It’s a work that blends gentleness with sorrow—one I’d like those suffering from the pain of parting to hear.

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.

Rococo / feat. Hatsune Miku

When daily life leaves you feeling worn out, this song might gently rub your back.

It’s a track by MIMI, a Vocaloid producer loved by fans for a pop and gentle musical style, released in January 2023.

The warm piano tones and Miku’s soft vocals are striking.

Each sound feels fluffy, and listening to it is soothing.

The lyrics seem to keep you company in your loneliness, and they especially sink in when you listen alone at night.

If you want to calm your heart, give it a try.

sasakure.UK – QUI feat. Hatsune Miku MV

An avant-garde Vocaloid track incorporating poetry reading.

It’s a song by sasakure.UK, a Vocaloid producer known for a progressive style, released in 2020.

Although the arrangement features drum and bass, it somehow sounds quiet—perhaps due to the husky vocals and the understated melodic line.

With lyrics that project a philosophical worldview, it’s a work that blends emotion and stylishness; as you savor each word slowly, you may find your eyes inexplicably welling with tears.

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.

[Kagamine Len V4X] Forgotten Flower [Japanese-style Original]

This is a Japanese-style song that depicts the grand flow of 100 years shared between humans and beings beyond human.

Created by Vocaloid producer Vellan and released in October 2021, it is included in the Kagamine compilation album “kagamination2: Rinkyo.” Its mournful yet beautiful melody and Kagamine Len’s vocals—switching between the roles of an outcast child and a deity—leave a strong impression.

The lyrics weave themes of the fragility of memories fading over long years and the precious bonds that, despite everything, do not disappear.

It’s perfect for autumn nights when you want to immerse yourself in an epic world of storytelling.

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.
