Heart-wrenching Vocaloid songs: masterpieces that pierce the heart (71–80)
Mélusinen-buna
As n-buna himself described it as a “lantern-floating song,” when you listen, countless softly drifting lights rise up in your mind like an image.
The beautiful lyrics and the melody that touches the heart are part of it, of course, but above all it must be Miku’s delicate, fleeting voice that brings it to life.
deep seaRiei
Singer-songwriter Riei, who debuted as a Vocaloid producer in 2020 and is active based in Hokkaido.
Her song “Shinkai,” her first to surpass a million plays, features a weighty, string-driven intro that expands on the imagery of the title.
The lyrics, depicting feelings and circumstances of sinking deeper and deeper, are likely to resonate with anyone who has had similar experiences.
With its beautiful sound and melody that draw you into its world, it’s a richly layered Vocaloid track.
To That Summerfin
This song portrays the fleeting, nostalgic feeling of summer’s end.
It’s a track by fin, released in April 2024.
Hatsune Miku’s transparent, crystalline vocals deepen the resonance of memories of summer and questions about one’s purpose.
The music video, featuring fin’s signature pixel art style, is also distinctive.
Images like towering cumulonimbus clouds and the sound of wind chimes vividly evoke late-summer scenes.
I believe this is a song that offers comfort to those who fear their existence might be forgotten by the world.
You just don’t get it.monet
This work stands out for its emotional lyrics and languid rock sound.
It’s a track by the music unit monet, released in June 2025.
The inextricably tangled feelings are conveyed through a wavering guitar sound and Chifuyu Hanakuma’s languorous vocals.
That sonic texture pairs perfectly with lyrics distilled from bitterness toward an ex and lingering attachment.
When you’re weighed down by frustration or listening on a sentimental night, you’ll find yourself drawn deeply into its world.
Until I hold you in my arms.MIMI
Without even realizing it, you bottle up your feelings… I bet there are quite a few people like that.
This song gently tells you, “It’s okay.” It’s by MIMI, a Vocaloid producer known for hits like “Kū ni Naru,” and it was released in 2022.
The track is arranged only with vocals, piano, and strings, which makes every word of the lyrics sink in even deeper.
It feels like someone coming to sit beside you and slowly rubbing your back.
Give it a listen when you’re feeling tired.
a burn you got from someone else’s injury (literally: a “received burn”)kyiku
An emotionally charged Vocaloid song that conveys palpable pain.
Created by the Vocaloid producer kyiku, known for their distinctive sonic sensibility, it was released in December 2025.
Centered on the theme of “the indelible heat I’ve ended up receiving,” the lyrics depict feelings like the shackles of the past and phantom limb pain, while Urami from CeVIO AI delivers a trembling vocal that pierces the heart.
It’s recommended for quiet nights when you want to sink into your feelings alone.
Sad MachinePorter Robinson
This is a duet song between a human and a robot, where warm synthesizers intertwine with a digital singing voice.
Created by US-based Porter Robinson, it blends his own vocals with the English VOCALOID AVANNA to tell a story that feels futuristic yet somehow nostalgic.
Featured on the acclaimed album “Worlds,” the track captivated listeners across borders upon its May 2014 release, reaching No.
29 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Songs chart.
It’s an emotional and beautiful number that’s perfect for those who want to feel the earnest emotions embedded in mechanical timbres, or who are interested in the overseas Vocaloid scene.
