Music that comes to your heart. A collection of sad Vocaloid songs (41–50)
I wanted to dance to your heartbeat.Pikon
A slow ballad with a striking piano melody, this captivating track weaves a beautiful world through its heartrending tune and lyrics that resonate deeply.
Released in January 2018, it is the 17th song by Vocaloid producer Picon and has garnered over 3 million views on YouTube.
The melancholic piece, which sings of loneliness and a sense of loss, carries a lingering afterglow that makes you want to listen in the quiet of the night.
When you’re weighed down by pain or want to immerse yourself in the bittersweet feeling of thinking about someone, it will gently stay by your heart.
Flutter and fall apartEZFG
Speaking of spring, it’s the season when cherry blossoms bloom and then fall.
That’s why I’d like to introduce “Maihira Chiru.” This is a song released by EZFG, and it portrays the scene of petals fluttering and scattering.
Another highlight is how it layers the fleeting nature of falling blossoms with feelings like loneliness and unease.
Since spring is a season full of farewells, such as graduations, you may find it especially easy to get emotionally absorbed.
Please enjoy it together with the music video, which features visuals that use flower petals as a motif.
Poor fluffyMushipi
It’s a song where a sense of pathos seeps through the cuteness.
“Kawaisou Mofumofu” by Mushipi was released in January 2025.
The world woven by the vocals of Hatsune Miku and KAF mixes innocence with madness.
An innocent, fluffy creature is made to bear all the blame… it squeezes your heart tight.
Once you fall into Mushipi’s world, there’s no getting out—come and experience it for yourself.
Scenerinri
The heartrending ballad “Scene” featuring Meika Hime is also a must-listen.
This is rinri’s entry for “VocaColle 2024 Winter Rookie.” The lyrics portray a man who has lost someone precious, reflecting on his memories.
Watching the animated music video may convey the situation even more clearly—be sure to watch through to the outro.
Also, although it’s a ballad, the arrangement builds momentum toward the latter half, which is another highlight.
RainyEO
The song “Rainy,” the kind you’ll want to listen to on a quiet day of continuous rain, was released in 2022 by Vocaloid producer EO.
Sung by Kagamine Rin with a delicate, ephemeral tone, it beautifully conveys sorrow and wistfulness.
The lyrics, which express a wish for the rain to wash away tears and even one’s voice, are highly relatable.
Warm tones woven by piano and acoustic guitar are deepened by strings, further amplifying the plaintive nuance of Rin’s whispery vocals.
Why not sink into this track at a leisurely pace, a warm drink in hand?
deep seaRiei
A song that likens lost love to the depths of the sea.
Riei’s heartrending lyrics and the melody that sinks into the heart blend beautifully, moving the listener.
Released in April 2023, it features an expansive sound arrangement that seems to stretch on forever.
The lyrics reflect the sorrow of losing someone precious, making your chest ache in empathy.
It’s a tearjerker best listened to quietly alone at night.
Someday, without fail.Deadball P
This work portrays a sad story themed around a curse that makes one’s voice grow hoarse when they lie.
It’s a song by Deadball-P, released in 2008.
With a vocal duet by Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin, it expresses the protagonist’s sorrow.
The lyrics are striking, symbolically depicting the withering process through images like glass-bead eyes and faded silk hair.
The irregular time signatures and the production that makes the voice gradually grow hoarse also enhance the storytelling.
It contains elements reminiscent of The Little Mermaid and Pinocchio, making it a song open to deep interpretation.
