Melancholic Vocaloid Songs: Heart-Piercing Masterpieces (201–210)
Don’t be happy.haiiro nemuri
A song suffused with despair and bittersweet longing in love.
Created by Nemuri Haiiro, it was released in February 2024.
Nurse Robo_Type T’s vocals express complex feelings toward a loved one.
Wishing for the other person’s happiness while not wanting them to leave—this contradiction pierces the heart.
Recommended for those struggling with love or looking to face their own emotions.
Don’t mess with me.haruna.
This is a track by Haruna, included on the album “Summer Sky Free Notebook: Page 1,” released in May 2023.
Its emotional, fast-paced rock sound and lyrics filled with anger, sorrow, and an unforgettable ache toward a former lover really strike a chord.
Every down-to-earth word lined up there is so relatable.
I highly recommend it to anyone who needs time to face the pain of a breakup.
Dear19’s Sound Factory
Over a pop, exhilarating guitar sound, Hatsune Miku sings about a girl’s feelings after parting with someone important to her.
The way it builds from a quiet chorus into an increasingly powerful development is thrilling.
The self-arranged version is also recommended.
It was released in 2008.
illicit loveHIGHEST ONE
Feelings for someone that will never reach them, no matter how much time passes.
The lyrics, which capture the heartache of loving, pierce the heart.
This song by Vocaloid producer HIGHEST ONE was released in 2020.
With its grand, dreamlike sound and Hatsune Miku’s trembling voice, it almost sounds as if she’s singing through tears.
You want to be loved by someone precious, yet you aren’t.
That goes on and on, and the pain in your chest only grows.
The more you think about the protagonist’s feelings, the more it hurts you, too.
detoxkomedawara
You’ll be drawn into a world shaped by Otomachi Una’s transparent, crystalline singing voice and distinctive sound design.
This work was released in April 2025.
That girl who doesn’t listen to Japanese rock always sings about love.haruna.
For fans of rock and music lovers alike, we recommend “That Girl Who Doesn’t Listen to J-Rock Always Sings of Love.” This is a fast-paced rock song created by Haruna using Utaai Yuki.
The lyrics portray a protagonist who tries to turn a romance—and eventual breakup—with someone who doesn’t listen to rock into a song.
The heartbreaking situation of creating a wonderful track that the person you love will never listen to is sure to seize your heart.
You can also feel the wistfulness in the slightly lowered vocal tone.
I’m glad I’m a ghost.40mP
This is a Vocaloid song that weaves a bittersweet yet warm feeling of watching over a loved one forever.
Composed by 40mP, it was released in February 2024.
The refreshing sound and the lyrics told from the perspective of a protagonist who has become a ghost create a striking contrast.
The desire to convey the word “love,” which couldn’t be expressed while alive, still now—this feeling is deeply moving.
Because they are a ghost, they can watch over and cheer from the very front row.
It’s a song that conveys unwavering love for someone precious.
