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

BouquetMIMI

"Bouquet" / MIMI feat. KAFU

Isn’t it wonderful to have someone who supports you when you’re struggling or feeling sad? That’s the message woven into “Hanataba.” This piece was created by Vocaloid producer MIMI.

Centering on the sound of the piano, it’s crafted with a pop-jazz vibe.

It also features a rap-like section partway through, and its bright tone is uplifting for listeners.

As you listen, you’ll be reminded of the people who matter to you and feel inspired to express your gratitude anew.

Dawn and Firefliesn-buna

[Hatsune Miku] Dawn and Fireflies [Original]

Perhaps because of its relaxed rhythm, listening to it gives me the sensation of trudging along.

It’s a track by n-buna, a Vocaloid producer who also works as the composer for the band Yorushika, released in 2014.

It was also included on the 2015 album “Flowers and Syrup, Last Train.” It’s a very quiet rock number that effectively incorporates rests and muted guitar techniques.

But at the song’s climax, it unfolds like waves of sound surging in.

The lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia, and the emotional sound likewise stirs the heart.

In place of a scream.enbataishi

Sono Hashi Ishi – Instead of a Scream ft. Hatsune Miku

A work by Enbata Ishi that powerfully grabs the listener’s heart.

This song sets a cry from deep within the chest to melody, with an impressive sonic palette that fuses electronica and guitar sounds.

Hatsune Miku’s clear, translucent vocals further illuminate the emotional explosion embedded in the track.

Released in February 2025, it placed 39th in the Rookie Ranking of VocaColle 2025 Winter.

It’s the perfect Vocaloid song for those who want to let pent-up feelings burst forth and have a good cry to reset their hearts.

Don’t go.Souta

Uta-nee Yuki “Don’t Go” (remaster)

The true feelings you can’t bring yourself to say… hasn’t everyone experienced that? This is a signature song by Vocaloid producer Souta, released in 2013.

Its somewhat retro-sounding arrangement pairs perfectly with Yuki Kaai’s softly murmuring vocals.

It somehow makes you feel nostalgic.

The lyrics portray the protagonist’s inner thoughts at the moment of parting with someone precious.

As the title suggests, they want to say “Don’t go,” but can’t bring themselves to say it… It’s a tear-jerking Vocaloid track that makes you imagine all sorts of stories—what might have happened between these two, and more.

Colorless Self-Harmnekobōro

[Hand-drawn] Self-Harm Colorless [PV]

This is a song with the theme “I want to be more like myself.” It’s a bit negative, about wanting to be like that person you admire but realizing you can’t, yet it becomes addictive.

The pessimistic lyrics sung over a minor-key melody are heartrending, and I think many people will relate.

Jupiter’s BeatNayutan Seijin

Nayutan Seijin – Jupiter Beat (ft. Hatsune Miku) OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

I think it’s a song that gently leads you away from everyday anxiety and loneliness.

Released in April 2022 by NayutalieN, it’s included on the album “An Object N from Planet Nayuta.” This work paints a hopeful vision of the future, weaving in the specific figure of about 11.86 years—the orbital period of Jupiter.

On nights weighed down by doubt and solitude, surrendering yourself to its electropop beat might let you slip free from the gravity on your heart, and with a few tears, find a fresh start.

Angel’s TearsMIMI

Tears of an Angel / feat. Hatsune Miku

This is music that stays by your side when you’re feeling foggy and unsettled.

In this work released by MIMI in March 2025, Hatsune Miku’s voice gently embraces a delicate, ephemeral world.

The lyrics finely portray emotions swaying between loneliness and self-denial, harmonizing beautifully with a clear, piano-centered melody.

When your heart is tired, when you feel like you might shoulder your worries alone, please give this song a listen.
