[Heart-wrenching] Vocaloid breakup songs. Classic love tracks that make your chest ache

Heartbreak MeltBreak P

Heartbreak Melt [Miku & GUMI]

This is a song that replaces the lyrics of the early Vocaloid classic “Melt,” reworking it into a heartbreak track.

Perhaps because it’s inevitably compared to the original “Melt,” it evokes an overwhelmingly bittersweet feeling.

It was released in 2010 by Bireku-P.

Don't mess with me.Haruna.

Haruna. “Don’t mess with me.” feat. Hatsune Miku

This is a track by Haruna, included on the album “Summer Sky Free Notebook: Page 1,” released in May 2023.

Its emotional, fast-paced rock sound and lyrics filled with anger, sorrow, and an unforgettable ache toward a former lover really strike a chord.

Every down-to-earth word lined up there is so relatable.

I highly recommend it to anyone who needs time to face the pain of a breakup.

[Hatsune Miku (40mP)] Karakuri Pierrot [Original]

When you’ve had your heart broken, the pain can make it hard to stay positive day after day.

40mP’s “Karakuri Pierrot” is a heartbreak song that seems to understand your bittersweet feelings.

Once you’re feeling a little better, I recommend trying it at karaoke.

Monochrome of the Mind40mP

[GUMI (40mP)] Heart Monochrome [Original PV]

This is a work that sings of the pain held in one’s heart.

The song is by 40mP and was released in February 2014.

It’s included on the album “41m.” The guitar and strings, which seem to gently accompany a quiet scene, leave a strong impression.

Though it’s a heartrending piece, you can also feel a strength to face forward at the end.

I can’t help but overlay the protagonist’s inner landscape—tormented by the pain of heartbreak—with my own past loves.

If you’re carrying the pain of a breakup, try listening closely, have a good cry, and reset your feelings.

When a first love comes to an endsupercell

When a first love comes to an end

This is the title track from ryo’s second maxi single, “When the First Love Ends.” The sound is a cool, fast-paced rock number, but the lyrics are incredibly heartrending.

I imagine many people feel their hearts tighten at this contrast.

Loving someone yet having to part is so painful…

it brings you to tears.

Unrequited Love Dropsmifami

[Hatsune Miku] Unrequited Love Drops [Original]

This is a bittersweet heartbreak song that will especially resonate with students.

It’s a piece by Vocaloid producer mifami, released in 2013.

The refreshing sound, marked by band instrumentation and piano tones, makes it very easy to listen to.

The lyrics use unadorned, down-to-earth language that lets you grasp the song’s world in an instant.

Perhaps that’s why the protagonist’s heartache comes across so directly.

It’s a Vocaloid track that makes you want to love without regrets.

Clingy Guy’s 15 Years of Petty Obsessedness / Sunfish Is Dead Behind My House P (Turn on subtitles; lyrics are available in other languages)

At first, it feels like a slightly strange and funny song that makes you chuckle, but by the time you reach the end, it’s guaranteed to make you cry.

Listen to it once, then put it on repeat, and even the lyrics you thought were amusing will start to feel heartbreaking.
