Lovely Vocaloid

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

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
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!

Because things like a heart existAoigi Gou

Because There’s Such a Thing as a Heart / Otomachi Una SV

Because things like a heart existAoigi Gou

Crafted by Gou Aoiki, this work was released in November 2024 as an official demo song for Otomachi Una SV.

“Because we have hearts, we feel pain.” The lyrics delicately portray complex emotions and leave a deep impression on listeners.

The driving band sound feels as if it directly embodies a flood of feelings.

Be sure to add this emotional rock tune to your playlist.

Let’s just run away / Otomachi Una

Let's just run away.Aoigi Gou

Isn’t choosing to run away a kind of courage, too? The emotional rock number “Nigechimaōze” (“Let’s Just Run Away”) was created by Aoki Gō—also known under the name Gogo no Tea—and released in 2020.

Its fresh yet slightly bittersweet band sound pairs perfectly with Otomachi Una’s strong, resonant vocals.

Maybe that’s why the lyrics’ message goes straight into your head.

I think it’ll give you the power to stand back up.

Your figure/appearanceChōchō P

Your Figure / Chouchou-P feat. Otomachi Una

Your figure/appearanceChōchō P

What makes “Kimi no Sugata” so appealing is its lyrics that feel like they’re speaking directly to you.

This piece was created by Choucho-P using Otomachi Una.

Making the most of her gentle singing voice, it’s crafted into a soothing ballad.

The lyrics question the meanings of words we casually use every day, like “strong” and “happy.” Listening to it might prompt you to reflect on various things.

Also, an off-vocal version is available, so it’s recommended for those looking for background music or wanting to sing it at karaoke.

Vocaloid Songs with Resonant Lyrics: Message-Themed Selection (151–160)

A disease called pessimismMushi no shirase

A Sickness Called Pessimism / Hatsune Miku

A disease called pessimismMushi no shirase

Be sure to check out “A Disease Called Pessimism” released by Mushi no Shirase as well.

The “pessimism” in the title refers to the feeling of viewing the world as something unpleasant.

In the song, a man falls in love and realizes how wonderful life can be, but after many twists and turns, he ends up growing weary of life.

Its heartrending yet mysterious story will capture your heart.

Imagine what became of the male protagonist and what happened to him.

You might find some clues by watching the music video.

How about soothing yourself with a warm, rainy-day song? This track by Vocaloid producer Amenosuke was released in November 2022.

It’s a very stylish piece with a relaxed tempo.

You’ll hear a variety of tones—piano, acoustic guitar, strings, and even sound effects like falling water droplets—which makes it delightful to listen to.

The comfortably flowing melody line is another appeal.

The lyrics poignantly depict loneliness, so when you’re feeling down, this song is sure to keep you company.

Heartbeat Pairing / Yukino Ito feat. Hatsune Miku

Heart rate pairingYukino Ito

Don’t you think songs with lyrics that only work because they’re sung by a Vocaloid are wonderful? With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “Heartbeat Pairing.” This is the fifth release by Yukino Ito.

Set to a brisk tempo, it sings about the excitement of romance and the longing you feel for someone special.

What I want you to notice is that the lyrics are written from Hatsune Miku’s perspective.

Throughout the song, there are expressions unique to Vocaloids—like comparing a heartbeat to BPM, and more.

Escapade Chronicleyukimi

Runaway Chronicles / Hatsune Miku

Escapade Chronicleyukimi

I’m drawn to the deep, almost dreamlike rock sound.

This is a track by Yukimi, who is active as a vocalist, released in February 2024.

The lyrics—wishing to escape from where you are now and asking a loved one to take you away—together with Miku’s delicate, ephemeral voice, leave a strong impression.

It isn’t merely a sorrowful piece; especially toward the end, it conveys hope and a sense of liberation.

I think it’s perfect for times when you want to break out of your shell or need the courage to set off on a new path.
