Heart-wrenching Vocaloid songs: masterpieces that pierce the heart (71–80)
I’m sorry for being alive.shizuku
It’s a song that questions the purpose of existence and the meaning of life.
Created by shizuku and released in January 2025, it’s a ballad number.
The piano’s resonant tone and the arrangement, which blends beauty with fragility, really hit home.
KAFU’s strained, almost squeezed-out vocals and the heartrending melody sink in through their harmony.
The lyrics tackle the heavy theme of “guilt about being alive.” It’s a Vocaloid track that offers companionship to those feeling troubled or alone.
By Your Sidefin
The beautiful soundscape that feels like it stretches on forever puts my mind at ease.
“Kimi no Tonari,” produced by Vocaloid producer fin, is a ballad released in July 2024.
It unfolds with piano and bell tones at its core, and in the latter half, string arrangements join in.
The deep, rich sound blends beautifully with the vocals that drop words as if gently letting them fall.
The fragile worldview of the lyrics—“I’m tired, so let’s rest together.
While we do, I’d like to hear your story”—also suits it perfectly.
Every one of fin’s works touches the heartstrings.
pair (of animals), mating pairkojika
This work has a mysterious charm that makes you feel as if you’re listening to a rambling monologue.
“Tsugai,” produced by Vocaloid creator kojika, was released in April 2024.
It blends intricate beats with guitar tones reminiscent of math rock; the brisk groove alone is addictive.
Its literary lyricism is another draw, prompting you to ponder what “you” meant to the protagonist.
Be sure to give it a deep, attentive listen.
Bittersweet Vocaloid songs: masterpieces that pierce the heart (81–90)
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.
Dream Kisstoiki
“Dream Kiss” is a song by Toiki., released in September 2025.
Painted with words like delusion and curse, it portrays a precarious romance like an angel and a devil whispering to each other.
You’ll be drawn into its poetic worldview and a sound arrangement that blends speed and weightlessness.
Miku’s whispery vocals and the whistles slipped in between are also striking.
It’s the kind of Vocaloid track you can’t escape once you’re hooked.
I’m a good girl.namiguru
This piece portrays the pain of a child striving to meet their parents’ expectations.
It’s a song by Namigure, released in November 2025, created as part of the Yuka Satoishi compilation project.
Focusing on a mother–daughter relationship with the theme of “self-sacrifice,” it depicts a daily life where lessons take priority over friendships, and even a perfect score is dismissed as “only natural.” Through repeated questioning, the girl’s earnest struggle comes into sharp relief.
Notably different from the artist’s usually bright style, it drew attention as a bold new direction.
Hz jumps_Λ__Λ _
It’s electronica that gently touches the strings of your heart.
A track by Vocaloid producer _Λ__Λ _, released in December 2025.
With its deep-toned timbres and meticulous arrangement, it’s an original work that draws you in.
The lyrics—likening oneself to a broken game console—leave a striking impression.
And thanks to the incorporation of water sounds at key moments, you suddenly find yourself feeling as if you’re sinking into the music.
Please experience this delicate, enigmatic world for yourself.
