Lovely Vocaloid

[Feelings] A selection of Vocaloid songs with lyrics that resonate [Message]

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
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.

When it comes to the appeal of Vocaloid, it’s that it sings the exact lyrics and feelings the creator programs into it.

It’s the ultimate music tool that makes “I want to turn this feeling into a song” come true!

Vocaloid producers pour the emotions that well up from deep within their hearts into sound and lyrics, delivering them to us every day.

In this article, we’ll introduce lots of Vocaloid tracks that we especially want you to listen to with a focus on the lyrics!

They’ll warm your heart with emotion or startle you with the sharpness of their words.

You’re sure to find a piece that strikes a chord with you!

[Feelings] A Selection of Vocaloid Songs with Resonant Lyrics [Message] (101–110)

The happiest way to die in the worldOld Song

The Happiest Way to Die in the World / Reminiscence Song feat. IA

A lament about the happiest way to die in the world

Even with its striking title, “The Happiest Way to Die in the World” is drawing attention.

It’s a ballad that sings about the idea that “if everyone hates you, perhaps it wouldn’t be sad even if you were to die.” Take a moment to reflect on that perspective yourself.

Another appeal is how the simple piano tone accentuates IA’s vocals.

With its very quiet melody, it’s also perfect as a companion for relaxation time.

Iyowa – Overwrite feat. Hatsune Miku, Chifuyu Hanakuma

overwriting is weak

This is a Vocaloid track that floors you with its unstable sound image and rapid-fire melodies.

Created by Vocaloid producer Iyowa, it was released in August 2024.

The lyrics are packed tightly with the sorrow of parting, and they really hit home.

The squeezed-out, strained vocals are likely part of the reason why.

It’s a highly empathetic work that stands by those suffering from painful memories.

Madoromucannot say / cannot tell

Madoromu / Hatsune Miku, Kasane Teto

I can’t put the doze into words.

This piece drifts between dream and reality.

Created by Ienu and released in June 2024, it features a strikingly pop and cute sound.

The voices of Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto weave a fragile, beautiful melody.

The wish to “show me a dream” and the struggle of having to return to reality make it deeply relatable.

Please take your time and give it a listen!

Pusi / r-906 feat. Hatsune Miku

Pshi r-906

In an era where instant ways of enjoying music—like “listening only to the hook” or “hearing it in short videos”—are booming, this song’s ironic message pierces the scene deeply.

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer r-906, known for a stylish musical sensibility, released on December 22, 2022 on the official Hatsune Miku YouTube channel.

For r-906’s intentions behind the production, please see the video description, but in any case, the song’s addictive quality is incredible.

The high-speed development of the sound has a charm that makes you feel like you could keep listening forever.

The rapid-fire melody also firmly conveys that distinctive “Vocaloid-ness.”

Wind to the Flowers / Hatsune Miku

Wind to flowers balloon

Balloon, a Vocaloid producer who rose to fame with the hit song “Charles,” one of the defining tracks of the late 2010s Vocaloid scene, released “Hana ni Kaze” in 2023.

Known for crafting story-driven music, he portrays a protagonist struggling with love, weaving in a poignant message sung as if to confirm the presence of their beloved.

Listeners can sense a range of emotions from the transparent synth tones and the intertwining, girlish vocals of Hatsune Miku.

From monologue-like spoken passages to a passionate chorus, it’s a Vocaloid track that showcases a wide vocal palette.

IroninaBoiled Fruits

Niru Fruit “Ironina” with Flower [Official] - Ironina

Irinina-boiled fruit

Ironina, produced in 2021 by Nirukajitsu, a Vocaloid producer who also excels as an arranger, portrays a dark emotional landscape alongside the desire to keep loving oneself or someone else.

Set to a genre-defying sound that blends elements like jazz and funk, it features vocals by flower.

The lyrics, which cast a cynical gaze toward society and one’s own heart, are deeply relatable.

By candidly expressing inner anxiety and loneliness, this Vocaloid track offers a chance to face oneself.

Give this one-of-a-kind song, infused with both love and irony, a listen.

Therefore, Nirukajitsu “For Dear Life” with Flower [Official] – For dear life

Fruit Boiled to the Brink of Life

This song by Nirukajitsu—known for hits like “Sama” and “Traffic Jam”—was released in February 2023.

Built on a foundation of funk, it unfolds with a rhythmic sound that’s cool and stylish.

The groove is so good it makes your body move on its own.

The lyrics are packed with the resolve to “survive no matter what, even if people around me laugh.” That burning determination comes through and really fires you up, too.
