Heart-wrenching Vocaloid songs: masterpieces that pierce the heart (71–80)
It’s goodbyeNakase Miru
This is a breakup song that realizes the distance between longing and reality.
Created by Miru Nakase, it was included on the album “i m u,” released in June 2025, with a music video released in September.
The protagonist’s feeling—being drawn precisely because the other person was so different—comes across painfully through IA’s clear, transparent vocals.
The dramatic sound, which unfolds from a quiet beginning into an outpouring of emotion, is also striking.
On nights when you face alone the unbridgeable gap with someone precious, this work will surely stay by your side.
EulogySatsuki
A song by Vocaloid producer Satsuki, released in November 2025.
It was submitted to the anonymous posting event Colorless Transparent Festival 3.
Featuring layered vocals by Kasane Teto and Adachi Rei, the piece sings words of remembrance for the departed.
The emotions wavering between memories preserved in the digital realm and the sense of loss in reality come through with aching clarity.
Try listening alone at night while thinking of someone dear—you’ll likely be left with a deep, lingering aftertaste.
orz…ītsu
An ennui-laden Vocaloid track with a chill sound that carries an undercurrent of unease.
“orz…,” produced by Vocaloid-P Itsu, was released in July 2024.
It features a floating, airy sonic image and Miku’s slightly lisping vocals.
The lyrics depict a protagonist on the brink of despair, pleading for salvation from an angel.
What happened to her? The lyrics and MV invite plenty of interpretation.
If you’re looking for something cute yet sickly sweet and twisted, be sure to check it out!
Bittersweet Vocaloid songs: masterpieces that pierce the heart (81–90)
Cherry Blossom Rainhalyosy
One of the classic graduation songs.
While the song itself doesn’t have a backward-looking mood, its lyrics that evoke the farewell of graduation and its melancholy melody make it poignant to listen to.
It has also been adapted into a film.
I hope you’ll listen to an actual choral performance.
HenceforthOrangestar
This is a work by Orangestar, who has created numerous Vocaloid summer songs.
Released in 2020, it quickly joined the ranks of popular tracks.
The lyrics overflow with feelings for the “you” who is no longer here.
However, it’s not merely a sad song—the sentiment that comes through is hopeful.
The simple sound arrangement feels like a cool, refreshing breeze blowing through summer.
It might make you remember your own precious “you.”
Jakkuyomitan akane
This piece features Kasane Teto SV and stands out for its lyrics that peel away hard-edged words.
It’s a track by multi-creator Akane Yomitan, who handles everything from video production to illustration herself, released in October 2025.
The introspective, self-positioning monologue of the lyrics pairs perfectly with a somewhat wistful sound arrangement, drawing you into its world before you know it.
