A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

This expression comes from “emotional,” meaning to be moved by feelings—you’re probably quite familiar with it.

Some of you might even hear it a lot in conversations with friends.

In this article, we’ll introduce plenty of emotionally resonant, ‘emo’ Vocaloid songs! You’re sure to find at least one track that really hits you, so be sure to read to the end!

A song that expresses the feelings of a woman who was coldly abandoned by a man.

Snow Falls / Hatsune Miku

It's likely to snow, Makalori.

The protagonist’s feelings of loneliness and self-loss are conveyed through Hatsune Miku’s innocent singing voice.

Composed by Makarori, the song was released in December 2024.

Its blend of chiptune and piano, along with a delicate melodic line, resonates deeply.

The arrangement’s shifting BPM is also striking.

It skillfully fuses the wintry atmosphere with the human inner world, leaving a profound sense of empathy and lingering aftertaste.

It may be the kind of music that stays by your side when you feel lonely.

Te ni o ha / sabio feat. Kasane Teto

Tenioha sabio

It’s a pop tune that blends freshness with a touch of bittersweetness.

“Teniwoha,” produced by Vocaloid creator sabio, was released in July 2024.

Its rhythmic arrangement stylishly weaves in a variety of timbres—electric piano, horn sections, and more—and pairs beautifully with Kasane Teto’s clear, soaring vocals.

While the lyrics depict a painful farewell, there’s no sense of gloom; instead, it strongly conveys the feeling of “holding your head high and moving forward toward tomorrow.” It’s a truly wonderful piece whose positive energy feels cleansing to the heart.

Just, somehowsaikawa

Just, Somehow / saikawa feat. Hatsune Miku

However, somehow Saikawa

This is a work that depicts the subtle emotions of everyday life—living without adornment doesn’t carry any special feeling… or rather, there’s a certain loneliness to it.

It’s a song by Vocaloid producer saikawa, released in March 2023, and it participated in the TOP 100 ranking of VocaColle 2023 Spring.

The vocals unfold like a quiet monologue, drop by drop, and as the song progresses, they gradually build in intensity.

Combined with alternative guitar sounds and powerful drum work, it’s an emotional Vocaloid track that loosens your tear ducts before you even realize it.

Wonderland and the Sheep’s Song Hachi

This is a work by singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu from the period when he performed under the name Hachi.

It encapsulates the worldview of Hachi, a Vocaloid producer, and the music video is fantastical and wonderfully crafted.

Every time I listen to the song, it lets me bask in a comforting feeling, as if I’ve wandered into another world.
