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

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.

“Sky/Void (Kara)” feat. Hatsune Miku

Perhaps everyone has moments when they “somehow feel empty.” That’s exactly when I’d like you to listen to “Kara/Kyo (Emptiness/Void).” It’s a piece by Vocaloid producer Presto, created using Hatsune Miku.

The song centers on the two kanji in the title, expressing both “feeling hollow inside” and “the futility of life.” However, it isn’t gloomy—by the end, it points toward hope for the future.

Listening to it will surely lift your spirits.

Grudge Transmission / Defoko

Released in 2024, this work by Inamuri delicately expresses feelings toward what has been lost.

The lyrics, which open with the proverb “Spilt water will not return to the tray,” reveal the protagonist’s emotions as they face the reality that the past cannot be undone.

Defoko’s vocals convey, without omission, the lingering attachment to someone who is gone and the sorrow that fills the heart.

When you’re feeling down or lonely, this song is sure to stay close to your heart.

I’m glad I’m a ghost.40mP

“Glad to Be a Ghost” 40mP feat. GUMI AI

It’s a bittersweet song about a wish that comes true—to keep watching over the one you love.

Created by Vocaloid producer 40mP, known for classics like “Torinoko City” and “Love Trial,” it was released in February 2024.

It features a gently resonant melody and lyrics that depict the feelings of a protagonist who has become a ghost.

Precisely because they’ve become a ghost, the joy of staying by their beloved’s side and the sorrow of being unable to touch them directly come through.

It’s a Vocaloid track that compels you to dwell on its story.

Identity / feat. Hatsune Miku

For those who can’t help but worry about the looks and words of people around them, the song I want you to hear is “Shoutai.” Created in 2022 by Vocaloid producer Riei, who drew attention following the hit “Byoushin,” it beautifully captures the feelings you have when relationships or romance weigh on you or when things just aren’t going well.

The warm, enveloping band sound will surely give you strength, wrapping up your anxiety and loneliness.

Many listeners will likely relate to the honest sentiment sung in the last phrase of the chorus.

Give it a listen when you’re worn out from trying too hard or feeling down.
