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

If you are going to jumpOmoi

If You Were to Jump / Hatsune Miku

Omoi is a duo Vocaloid producer unit.

Among their works that went viral on social media is “If You Were to Jump.” From the title, it might sound a bit unsettling.

However, the lyrics are crafted to encourage a friend and speak about the hope of living.

Despite the heavy theme, the pop melody and vocals make it an easy listen.

Incidentally, a self-cover version has also been released, with some of the lyrics changed.

melancholicJunky

Melancholic / Junky feat. Kagamine Rin

It’s a pop-style mixture rock number packed with the feelings of a tsundere girl.

The song is by the Vocaloid producer Junky, also known for works like “Happy Halloween,” and it was released in 2010.

It’s a piece that students in particular will likely relate to.

Sometimes you just can’t be honest with the person you like, right? It makes you think, “So this is what youth is all about…” The sparkling, chiptune-like synths color the band sound, making it a pleasant Vocaloid track to listen to.

thermal anomalyIyowa

Heat Anomaly / Iyowa feat. Rei Adachi

When it comes to Vocaloid tracks that evoke the image of a girl standing at the end of the world, “Netsu Ijō” (Heat Anomaly) comes to mind.

Created in 2022 by Vocaloid producer Iyowa, known for hits like “Kyukurarin,” it pairs a driving, electrified beat with Adachi Rei’s mechanical vocals to striking effect.

The song weaves a deep narrative that can be heard both as a recorded voice and as an attempt to communicate.

The rapid-fire repetition of phrases in her singing conveys an accelerating heat, too.

It’s a track that lets you experience a uniquely Vocaloid worldview—definitely give it a listen.

doesn’t matchImanishi

Imanishi “Doesn't Fit” feat. Kaai Yuki

This song vividly portrays feelings of loneliness and alienation.

Composed by Imanishi and released in November 2024, it features the vocalist Kaai Yuki.

It’s a work where edgy rock sounds intertwine with lustrous piano phrases, and the lyrics delicately weave the emotions of a protagonist who can’t blend into conversations around them.

The sense of distance between people and the emptiness of a modern society where true feelings are hidden are powerfully conveyed throughout the track.

I believe it’s a piece that those struggling with relationships or searching for a place where they belong will find deeply relatable.

Don't say goodbye.MIMI

Don't Say Goodbye / feat. KAFU

It’s a tear-jerking Vocaloid song that gently sings, “It’s okay to get fed up with your own weakness,” and “Let’s keep living, even if it’s slowly.” Created by Vocaloid producer MIMI, known for a soft, heart-soaking musicality, it was released in June 2023.

The simple arrangement, featuring resonant piano and acoustic guitar, alone makes your chest tremble.

And KAFU’s earnest vocals really hit home.

When you’re worn out, this song will be right by your side.

godlikePinocchioP

PinocchioP – God-ish feat. Hatsune Miku / God-ish

It’s a message song that satirizes a life of “acting like you’ve got it together.” It’s a hit by the popular Vocaloid producer PinocchioP, who also creates his own illustrations, released in 2021.

The sound is rhythmic yet somehow detached, which leaves a strong impression.

The unpredictable structure—like the mid-song drop in rhythm—seems to further amplify the lyrical message.

It’s a striking Vocaloid track that makes you realize, “Before I knew it, I started feeling like I understood everything.”

funeralElectric Whale

funeral

Created by Den-ǂ-Whale, the piece “Osoushiki” was released in January 2025.

True to its title, the lyrics take a funeral as their motif, quietly posing questions about ghosts, memories, and the afterlife.

They weave reflections on the deceased together with rural landscapes and ritual scenes, evoking a curious sense of nostalgia.

Its pastoral, airy musicality is also compelling.

It may be a good listen when you’re in a contemplative mood.
