The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku (THE END OF HATSUNE MIKU) – cosMo@Bousou-P

Renowned as a classic from the early Vocaloid scene that sparked a major movement, this is one of cosMo@Bousou-P’s signature songs.

A short version was released in 2007, followed by a long version in 2008.

It’s characterized by ultra-high-speed melodies achievable precisely because it’s a Vocaloid.

The vocals—so fast they’re nearly impossible to parse as words—pour relentlessly into your ears.

While the song’s construction tends to draw attention, the lyrics convey Hatsune Miku’s feelings just before she disappears.

The scream-like vocals pierce the heart.

This is a song by Neru, a Vocaloid producer who has also made a major-label debut, released in 2011.

It’s a hard-hitting mixture rock number that sounds incredibly cool at first listen.

However, the lyrics depict a boy’s ravaged state of mind, which makes your chest tighten.

You can’t help but relate it to yourself, wondering what the meaning of living is.

The progression toward a positive message of “becoming someone who is no one” is absolutely irresistible.

When I feel like I’m losing my sense of self, this song gives me a push forward.

“Inochi Bakkari,” known as one of the signature songs by Vocaloid producer Nuyuri, is a track that portrays the aching moments when hearts drift apart amid days spent with a loved one.

Set to a band sound centered on rhythmic guitar, Flower’s androgynous vocals unfold throughout the piece.

By confronting one’s own emotions, the song beautifully sings of the realization that a relationship is coming to an end.

The chorus, enriched by Yuzuki Yukari’s backing vocals, adds to the song’s appeal as a standout Vocaloid track.

Lend your ears to this bittersweet, narrative-style love story.

When you read the lyrics, it’s a very sad love story, yet the rhythm has a sparkling, hope-filled vibe that shows someone trying their best to move forward.

The theme is realizing your feelings of love only after the person you cared for is gone.
