Heart-wrenching Vocaloid songs: unforgettable tracks that pierce the heart (91–100)
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.
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.
Mosaic RollDECO*27
A standard rock song by DECO*27, known for tracks like “Ai Kotoba” and “Yowamushi Montblanc,” that opens with a striking guitar riff.
The cool music video that syncs with the guitar solo in the interlude is a must-see.
It’s easy to sing at karaoke, and although some time has passed since its release, it remains a consistently popular track.
I want to know the texture of your skin.rakuen shigai
It’s a decadent and beautiful Vocaloid song that captivates with an ultimate expression of love—the desire to know everything about the other person.
Created by the Vocaloid producer Rakuen Shigai, it was released in August 2025.
Chic, stylish sound design perfectly matches breathy, intimate vocals.
Behind the provocative lyrics that yearn for the touch of the body lies a devoted love that offers up one’s entire self.
It’s a work you can immerse yourself in, like reading a short novel.
hydrangeaNaisho no piasu
This song captivates with a poignant sadness that sinks deep into the heart.
Created by Naisyo no Pierce, it uses hydrangeas blooming in the rainy season as its motif to portray both the sorrow of parting and the hope of renewal.
Released in June 2024, it features KAFU’s clear, translucent vocals that deftly express subtle emotions.
The emotional melody shakes the listener to the core.
It’s a track that will especially resonate with those who’ve experienced a breakup or a farewell to someone dear.
Please take your time and listen closely.
terminusrinri
It might resonate especially deeply on sleepless nights.
This is a song by rinri that delicately portrays the anxiety of changing cities and losing one’s place.
It’s included on the album “Like a Bookmark,” released in April 2024.
The transparent, clear vocals of NAKINE Hime intertwine with a melody that feels close to the heart.
The lyrics convey a determination to support each other and move forward, and it just brings me to tears.
When you want to feel the subtleties of human emotion, this song is a perfect fit.
I hate it so much.amaga
An emotionally charged rock number that deeply portrays a dark, closed-off state of mind, this work was released by Amagawa Yuki Sagara in March 2019.
With Hatsune Miku’s trembling vocals and a passionate band sound, it expresses the difficulties and contradictions faced by young people.
Feelings such as dissatisfaction with society and relationships, inner conflict, and self-denial come through and truly resonate.
It’s sure to strike a chord with those who feel anxiety or anguish about living in the present, especially teenagers.
