[Trend] A Collection of Vocaloid Songs We Used to Listen to a Lot—Nostalgic Picks (31–40)
Deep Sea Girlyūyu
Yuyoyuppe’s song “Deep-Sea Girl” is, as the title suggests, a work that delicately depicts the feelings of a girl sinking into the deep sea.
It portrays a protagonist burdened by loneliness and self-denial who begins to change after meeting a certain person, all within a beautiful yet heartrending worldview.
Included on Yuyoyuppe’s major-label debut album “Shikisai no Hoshi,” it became a major topic among VOCALOID fans.
The story of facing oneself in the depths of the sea and finding the courage to take a new step forward is a heartwarming number that conveys inner growth.
1925T-POCKET
This track features a retro-flavored sound that was still relatively rare at the time of its release.
“1925,” released by Yuto Tomita under the name T-POCKET, was unveiled as a video in October 2009 and later included on his debut album in 2010.
Its wistful, marching band-style sound is crafted to the point that your body starts to sway as you listen.
The lyrical word choices are stylish and sophisticated, too.
It’s a song with a charm that never wears thin, no matter how many times you play it.
Cherry Blossom Rainhalyosy
This is the song that sparked the boom of singing Vocaloid tracks as graduation songs.
Composed by the musician halyosy, also known as the creator of “Fire◎Flower,” it was released in 2008.
Born from the desire to have “this song sung in school choirs across the country,” it was also released under the acoustic band name absorb, which drew attention.
There are probably people who feel like listening to it when cherry blossom season arrives.
If we’re talking about Vocaloid cherry blossom songs, this is the first one to mention.
Torinoko City40mP
Despite its rhythmic, catchy feel, it tightens your chest… It’s a light and lively piano rock number.
Created by 40mP, who has long been active at the forefront of the Vocaloid scene, it was released in 2010 and is also included on the compilation album “EXIT TUNES PRESENTS Vocalonexus feat.
Hatsune Miku.” It’s a mixed-style piece that colors a band sound with playful synth beeps, and its percussive beat construction is striking.
The melody is crisp and fits the overall tone perfectly.
Do Re Mi Fa Rond40mP
This is a bright, pop-style Vocaloid song that refreshingly expresses the swirling feelings in one’s heart.
Composed by 40mP, who has remained at the forefront of the Vocaloid scene, it was released in 2013 and is also included on the album “Shintaisokutei.” Riding on a light, march-like rhythm, Hatsune Miku’s vocals resonate pleasantly.
The lyrics feature familiar figures like animals and professions, carrying a warm message: let’s all hold hands and walk together.
It’s a number beloved by a wide range of listeners, from children to adults.

Servant of Evilmothy
If you’re a fan of Vocaloid, just seeing the two characters “Aku no” probably rings a bell.
“Servant of Evil” by mothy, also known as Akuno-P, was released in 2008.
Together with its answer-song counterpart, “Daughter of Evil,” it became a popular work.
Its defining feature is, above all, the storytelling.
The meticulously crafted worldbuilding—which later expanded into stage productions, novels, and manga—is what captured listeners’ hearts.
I imagine many people came to like this kind of androgynous-sounding musical style after listening to “Servant of Evil.”
The Last Confession of the Earthkemu
This song is memorable for its story of an immortal protagonist reflecting on a past love.
It’s a number that fully showcases kemu’s talent, carrying a profound message and strong narrative.
Released in 2012, it features the VOCALOID GUMI.
Through themes of love that transcends time, lingering attachment to the past, and the end of the world, it resonates deeply with listeners.
It’s a recommended track for those who want to savor feelings where nostalgia and bittersweetness intertwine.
