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

I can’t go on living.I can't say I'm sorry

I Can’t Live / Kagamine Rin

“I Can’t Live” portrays the emptiness and loneliness of someone who has lost the will to live.

This piece was created by the Vocaloid producer ‘Gomen nasai ga ienakute.’ The song repeats the title phrase while listing reasons for being unable to live, resulting in a compelling structure.

The blend of deep bass and bright piano tones creates a highly addictive sound.

As you listen, pay attention to how the sound changes toward the ending; you’ll likely sense a strong message there as well.

“Yosuga” is a song that captures moments of loneliness and emptiness, as if being left behind while the seasons pass by.

Created in 2023 by Komedawara, a Vocaloid producer who mainly uses Otomachi Una and Chis-A, it features rhythmic vocals by Kasane Teto and Mai set against a soundscape filled with ethereal synth tones.

The lyrics, which depict natural scenery that brings out the beauty of the Japanese language, convey a sense of fragile, bittersweet emotion.

It’s a Vocaloid track that evokes the image of a protagonist overwhelmed by surging anxiety and loneliness.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Uro, released in April 2023.

With an acoustic guitar tone that lingers in your ears, it’s a catchy band-style piece.

The lyrics are striking, as if the protagonist is letting words slip out bit by bit.

Their down-to-earth feelings toward “unhappiness” come through, leaving us with a bittersweet ache.

The way it surges into the chorus is exhilarating.

Flutter and fall apartEZFG

Maihira Chiru – EZFG feat. RIME [Original MV]

Speaking of spring, it’s the season when cherry blossoms bloom and then fall.

That’s why I’d like to introduce “Maihira Chiru.” This is a song released by EZFG, and it portrays the scene of petals fluttering and scattering.

Another highlight is how it layers the fleeting nature of falling blossoms with feelings like loneliness and unease.

Since spring is a season full of farewells, such as graduations, you may find it especially easy to get emotionally absorbed.

Please enjoy it together with the music video, which features visuals that use flower petals as a motif.
