LeonProject Lumina

Leon / Urami

Bokakore 2023 Spring Rookie saw countless Vocaloid tracks posted.

Among them, the winner of the “Hoshino Disco Award” was “Leon.” This piece was created by hotal under the solo project name Project Lumina.

It depicts someone gazing at the sea, yearning for a cherished person they can no longer meet.

Beyond the beauty of the lyrics, we hope you’ll also pay attention to the skillful techniques—such as using multiple Vocaloids for the chorus—when you listen.

Boiled Fruit “ZOO” with Flower [Official]

For those looking for a song that soothes the heart, “ZOO” is a perfect fit.

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.

Love is like rainmaguro juusu

Love Like Rain / Yufu Sekka [UTAU HIPHOP]

This is a work by Magurojuice that beautifully blends delicate ambient sounds woven from the patter of rain with a rhythmic beat.

Released in June 2017, it features Yukika Yufu’s crystal-clear vocals and an immersive sound design that leaves a strong impression.

The lyrics, filled with feelings for someone who is no longer here, quietly seep into the depths of your heart.

It’s perfect for calming your mind during the damp, rainy season.

Why not gaze at the raindrops streaming down the window and listen in quiet contemplation?

Dinner Bell / Harumaki Gohan feat. Hatsune Miku Anime MV

The stylish yet dreamlike soundscape and the lyrics’ worldview, which reveals a heartrending story, pierce the heart.

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Harumaki Gohan, also known as the creator of “Meltyland Nightmare,” released in March 2023.

I’m drawn to the spacious sound that feels as if you can see stars twinkling in the night sky.

While the song is crafted with such beautiful tones throughout, the tempo is on the faster side.

You can sense the protagonist’s shaken emotions through the sound itself.

Be sure to pay attention to the noisy guitar solo in the interlude as well.

“Haruno Haruka” feat. Hatsune Miku / sasakure.UK

A gem of a work from sasakure.UK, a leading figure in the Vocaloid scene.

Released in April 2025, this piece originally appeared on the 2010 album “Do Vocaloids Dream of the End of the World Bird?” Its clear, translucent vocals and lyrics filled with fleeting feelings for spring seep into the heart.

Built around the tone of the piano, the grand sound arrangement is crafted so beautifully that simply following the notes can move you to tears.

It’s perfect for the season of farewells—the graduation season.
