Melancholic Vocaloid songs: masterpieces that pierce the heart (111–120)
Ironysukoppu
This is a song produced by Scop, a Vocaloid producer known for his skill in expressing the strength, weakness, and instability of girls in the midst of adolescence.
This track fully showcases his signature style and is, of course, extremely popular.
It is included on his fifth album, “Boundary Sentimental.”
from Y to YJimii Samu P
Named “JimmyThumb-P” because of his plain thumbnails that don’t pander to the character Hatsune Miku.
Despite the modest thumbnails, he’s well known for the high level of polish in his songs.
Megurine Luka provides harmonies.
It was released in 2009.
Fire◎Flowerhalyosy
This is a bittersweet love song by Kagamine Len with fireworks as its motif.
The low notes in the A section have a charm that other female Vocaloids can’t produce.
In the chorus, he sings passionately with the heart of a young boy, evoking the lively energy of fireworks bursting gloriously.
It was released in 2008.
Escapade Chronicleyukimi
I’m drawn to the deep, almost dreamlike rock sound.
This is a track by Yukimi, who is active as a vocalist, released in February 2024.
The lyrics—wishing to escape from where you are now and asking a loved one to take you away—together with Miku’s delicate, ephemeral voice, leave a strong impression.
It isn’t merely a sorrowful piece; especially toward the end, it conveys hope and a sense of liberation.
I think it’s perfect for times when you want to break out of your shell or need the courage to set off on a new path.
Night turns (comes around)amagumori
Before debuting as a Vocaloid producer (Vocalo-P), Amagumori was active as a singer, and is known for a distinctive tuning style marked by a scooped, lifted phrase ending.
Their track “Yoru ga Meguru,” created as a rookie entry for VocaColle Spring 2023, leaves a lasting impression with its striking sound and floaty ensemble in the intro.
The sentimental lyrics that evoke loneliness may resonate with anyone who has experienced despair, inviting them to see themselves in the song.
It’s a bittersweet pop tune whose heart-wrenching message and melody—almost as if it’s crying—pierce straight to the heart.
landmarknasoni
A cycle of repeated self-denial and nihilism unfolds, along with the heart’s cry as it struggles to break free.
Released by Nasoni in October 2025, this track is a dance tune marked by a jazzy piano that leaves a strong impression.
The stylish sound pairs beautifully with Flower’s buoyant, springy vocals.
Many listeners will likely resonate with the lyrics’ portrayal of a protagonist leading a world-weary life yet continuing to seek salvation somewhere.
It especially hits home when you’re in an introspective mood.
OrangeTōma
When the topic turns to moving Vocaloid songs, this is a track that almost always gets mentioned.
The original is great, of course, but I also recommend the version sung by the utaite Megatera Zero—it conveys both power and gentleness.
