Your figure/appearanceChouchou-P

Your Figure / Chouchou-P feat. Otomachi Una

What makes “Kimi no Sugata” so appealing is its lyrics that feel like they’re speaking directly to you.

This piece was created by Choucho-P using Otomachi Una.

Making the most of her gentle singing voice, it’s crafted into a soothing ballad.

The lyrics question the meanings of words we casually use every day, like “strong” and “happy.” Listening to it might prompt you to reflect on various things.

Also, an off-vocal version is available, so it’s recommended for those looking for background music or wanting to sing it at karaoke.

The song depicts a beautiful seaside landscape and the protagonist’s longing for someone dear.

Its charm lies in the poetic expression where the scenery and the protagonist’s feelings become intertwined.

With a calm, piano-centered sound, it’s a piece I recommend listening to when you want to relax.

Close your eyes and picture the beautiful scenery.

It's a reset.Toa

Toa – It’s a Reset. – ft. KAFU (Toa – Reset – ft. KAFU)

“Reset nano” is a song that gives voice to the feelings you have when you’re sick of everything in the real world.

Created in 2022 by the Vocaloid producer toa, known for signature tracks like “Patchwork Staccato,” it delivers murmured, soliloquy-like phrases in KAFU’s androgynous voice, expressing helplessness and anxiety.

The melody that unfolds in the latter half, expanding into a dreamlike soundscape, is also striking.

It’s a Vocaloid track where lyrics that cast a cynical gaze at society intertwine with a beautiful melody.

Let this song’s message accompany your haze of emotions.

“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.

Fragilekyiku

Fragile / Reverse Fate · Cold (Precious/RIME · 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.

QUIsasakure.UK

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.
