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

Hatsune Miku Clown

It’s an up-tempo song that gives you energy just by listening.

Some people might find clowns scary, but this might change how you feel about them.

Each phrase in the lyrics is very warm and resonates with the heart.

Dear me, who couldn't become anyone.polypho

Dear me, who couldn't become anything. / Hatsune Miku – Polypho

A highly relatable piece that sings about the frustration with who you are now, different from the ideal self you once envisioned.

The song is by PolyphonicBranch, aka Porifo, and was released in 2019.

It features sharp guitar sounds, rhythmic drums, a bassline that makes clever use of rests, and Hatsune Miku’s solid, resonant vocals—all irresistibly appealing.

It’s addictively listenable; you can keep it on repeat forever.

If you’re struggling with your current life, it may resonate with you especially strongly.

[Hatsune Miku Soft] Kuraiya [Original Song with PV]

When you start thinking about the meaning of life, it turns into a quagmire—you can’t get out of it, can you… This song is by the Vocaloid producer scOpe, known for works like “Irony” and “Keppekishou,” and it was released in 2013.

The tender piano tones gently wrap around the wistful band sound—its sound alone is enough to make you cry.

And of course, it’s the feelings woven into the lyrics.

You just want to be happy, and yet why does it hurt this much? It’s impossible not to empathize with that sentiment.

As long as I live / feat. Fukase

Tota Kasamura, who has worked on many piano ballads.

One of his pieces that’s drawing attention for its powerful message is “Ikite-sae.” It portrays the loss of self-esteem through repeated failures, yet its lyrics ultimately tell you that as long as you’re alive, you’ll be okay.

Combined with Fukase’s gentle voice, it really stirs the heart.

Another appeal is that it’s packed with phrases that make you want to burst into tears.

Even those who don’t usually cry when listening to music will surely be moved to tears.

DECO*27 – Coward Mont Blanc feat. GUMI

When it comes to GUMI songs, this is the one! I’m sure many Vocaloid fans would agree.

This track, created by the Vocaloid producer DECO*27—who has also written many songs for famous artists—was released in 2010.

The lyrics candidly portray the protagonist’s emotional weakness: even though they were supposed to love that person, at some point they lost sight of their true feelings.

You can feel that pain coming through the music, and it tightens your chest.

There’s also a novel adaptation, which I highly recommend checking out as well.

[Megurine Luka] Double Lariat [HD]

This is a work that makes you feel you’re not alone and that hard work will be rewarded.

I recommend listening to it when you’re feeling inferior or just a bit lonely.

By the time you finish, you’ll likely feel inspired to become someone your past self would be proud of.

KokoroTravolta-P

[Kagamine Rin] Kokoro [Original Song]

It portrays the moment when a robot created by a lonely scientist first comes to know a “heart.” At the time, Kagamine Rin was considered difficult to use due to poor articulation, yet this song became an exceptional hit.

It has been featured in various rhythm games and has even been adapted into a book.
