Melancholic Vocaloid songs: heart-piercing masterpieces (211–220)
Minazuki (the traditional Japanese name for the sixth month)Winter Pavilion
This is a work by Fuyukan that feels as if the very atmosphere of early summer has been turned into sound.
Kagamine Len’s heartrending vocals and the Japanese-style arrangement are a perfect match.
The song portrays a bittersweet longing for a season that has passed, and the quiet, helpless feelings of thinking about someone precious who is no longer here.
The melody line that sparks the imagination is outstanding.
Why not take some time alone after the rain to fully immerse yourself in its world?
Before I disappear tomorrowAmeyoshi
This piece by Vocaloid producer Amara opens with a piano-driven, emotional intro that really tugs at the heart.
The theme is “my kind of summer,” blending a refreshing vibe with a subtle sense of melancholy.
Many listeners will likely relate to the lyrics, which bare the desire to do something before you fade away.
It’s a perfect fit for those slightly sentimental moods at summer’s end.
Why not lend an ear to Amara’s one-of-a-kind sound?
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.
Mia's Doll ManorRen
It’s a piece that sings of the aching desire to breathe life into a doll.
Released by Ren in April 2024, it features Seikai from CeVIO.
If you’ve listened to “Doll’s Abyss,” it will resonate with you even more.
The creator’s feelings as they face a lifeless doll tighten the chest.
You can almost see the protagonist, earnestly speaking to the cold doll, rise behind your eyelids.
Oni childnecchi
The work released by necchi in April 2025 features an original sound that blends electronica and pop.
True to necchi’s roots in game music, you can enjoy shape-shifting sonic transitions.
The narrative quality of the lyrics, imbued with loneliness and solitude, is beautifully balanced with Murai’s clear, transparent vocals.
It leaves you unable to stop thinking about what lies ahead for the oni child.
A Certain Bakeneko Love StoryNem
This song is from the perspective of a cat who has transformed into the girl’s late lover to cheer her up as she grieves his loss.
It’s a track I provided to 96neko, included on the album “memoReal.” The performance by TEST and chappie is incredibly cool, so I hope you’ll pay attention to that as well.
OptimistImanishi
A sad piano rock number that sings of giving up on oneself.
It’s producer Imanishi’s debut and breakout hit, released in 2021.
A highly addictive waltz that makes you want to call it a “bundle of pure style.” Both the melody and the lyrics give the impression that the protagonist’s thoughts are spilling out in an unending stream.
“I know it’s not right, but this is all I can do.” Haven’t many of us felt that way at some point?
