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.
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.

This is a song that tightens the heart and stirs a bittersweet ache.
Released by Suiun in May 2024, it’s marked by a strikingly transparent melodic line.
Through poetic words, it weaves the anxieties and loneliness of daily life and the inner struggle that sways between ideals and reality.
It’s a work that anyone standing at a crossroads in life can relate to, leaving a deep afterglow.
Please take your time and really listen to it.
Losing You (Part I)Yasuha.
A longing for someone precious whom you can never meet again… This R&B ballad portrays that painful sense of loss.
It’s a work by the Vocaloid producer Yasuha., also known for “Sukinononi” and “On Your Side,” released in 2017.
The song is included on the album “DIVERSITY.” Centered on a beautiful piano melody, the refined sound blends with Hatsune Miku’s fragile vocals, seeping deep into the heart.
The lyrics vividly convey the protagonist’s regret over time that cannot be reclaimed and words once exchanged, tightening the chest.
It might even bring back a cherished memory within you.
Torinoko City40mP
A rhythmic yet heartrending Vocaloid song that projects a swirling sense of loneliness in the heart.
It’s a track by 40mP, who has long been at the forefront of the Vocaloid scene, released in July 2010.
The light guitar phrases and the beautiful tones of the strings that envelop the entire piece are striking.
The pairing of the song’s style with the crisp, articulated singing is a fantastic match.
Yet what seeps through the lyrics’ message is a sense of hardship and emotional pain.
By the way, this song was adapted into a live-action film in 2017, so if you haven’t seen it yet, do give it a watch.
