I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise 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!

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, 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.

A gigantic dragon is after you / Chisey

Two tablets for when a super huge dragon is targeting you.

It’s a Vocaloid track that unfolds a unique world and stirs the heart.

Released by Nijo in 2022, this piece debuted at VocaColle 2022 Autumn and captured the hearts of many listeners.

At its core is the protagonist’s feeling when facing an extraordinary situation, singing, “I’ll protect you.” Wrapped tightly within that vow to protect is the desperate wish: “So please never leave me.” The sound, infused with elements of funky music, and the MV that blends animation with live-action—everything comes together as a highly sophisticated number.
