FABRICATEDKyohei Kitazawa
This is Kyohei Kitazawa’s “Ichi-1,” released in July 2025.
Sung over a deep, immersive beat, it explores precarious, ephemeral themes of manufactured warmth and fabricated memories.
With Hatsune Miku’s matter-of-fact vocals, it lyrically portrays the protagonist’s heart wavering on the boundary between reality and fiction.
Listen on a contemplative night or when you’re in a slightly sentimental mood, and this mysterious, beautiful soundscape is sure to capture you.
Cursed PinkSugar grinding finished.
It’s a bittersweet Vocaloid song that portrays the struggle with self-esteem.
Created by Owari Saito, it was released in February 2025.
Beneath its pop sound, it weaves in a distinctive dark edge and a fantastical worldview.
It delicately depicts the inferiority that arises from comparing yourself to others and questions the “cuteness” society demands.
If you can’t quite find the courage to give a White Day return gift, this song might just sit with those slightly hesitant feelings.
Let it help you sort out your emotions—and go ahead and give that present.
I want to see you.Signal P
Lyrics by Deadman, with composition by Signal-P, who is also active as a professional composer and arranger.
It became a hot topic for its tuning quality so good that you’d think a real human was singing.
A heart-wrenching masterpiece.
It was released in 2010.
LeonProject Lumina
Bokakore 2023 Spring Rookie saw countless Vocaloid tracks posted.
Among them, the winner of the “Hoshino Disco Award” was “Leon.” This piece was created by hotal under the solo project name Project Lumina.
It depicts someone gazing at the sea, yearning for a cherished person they can no longer meet.
Beyond the beauty of the lyrics, we hope you’ll also pay attention to the skillful techniques—such as using multiple Vocaloids for the chorus—when you listen.
How many lonely nights are left?Tohta Kasamura
When you’re overwhelmed by loneliness, this piece gently rubs your back.
It’s a song by Kasamura Tota, a well-regarded Vocaloid producer known for piano ballads, released in June 2023.
True to Kasamura’s style, it features a simple arrangement of just piano and vocals.
Precisely because of that, the emotions woven into the lyrics reach straight into the depths of your heart.
It makes you feel, “Someday, I’ll surely meet someone I’ll want to cherish for a lifetime.” And if you already have a partner by your side, it will help you appreciate them all the more.

The pain of having to part ways even though you care so much… this is a goodbye song that pierces the heart.

Miku’s wistful vocals match the mood of the piece perfectly.
