Melancholic Vocaloid songs: masterpieces that pierce the heart

illicit loveHIGHEST ONE

HIGHEST ONE – illicit love ft. Hatsune Miku

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.

A Certain Bakeneko Love StoryNem

[96Neko] I Tried Singing “A Certain Monster Cat’s Love Story”

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.

You are not at fault.Δ

You’re Not at Fault / V_Fukase・flower (Someone Like You / V_Fukase・flower)

A song that wraps words like “fake,” “deceive,” and “guilt” in a light sound that doesn’t feel heavy, while exploring a deep inner world as if penned by a poet.

Its central motif and keyword, “a self that won’t become my own,” evokes a slightly mysterious, Zen-koan-like realm.

Many listeners will likely be drawn in by the lyrics, which make visible complex emotions that go beyond sadness.

Vocaloid producer Δ, who debuted in 2018, is a creator whose depths have yet to be fully known.

With lyricism this piercing, their other songs are definitely worth checking out!

Chocolate Milk / Apvella feat. Hatsune Miku

A song that fully brings out Hatsune Miku’s singing voice.

The theme—“If we break up, you’ll disappear from this room”—is a staple of love songs, but it’s the artist Apuera’s skill that keeps this classic setup from ending as a mere story.

The indescribable fatigue and melancholy of heartbreak, and the poetic depth of entrusting those feelings to chocolate milk, are truly wonderful.

It’s sure to become something you’ll hold dear.

If you get the chance, why not savor it slowly while enjoying some alone time at a café?

[KAITO] Old Radio [English Sub][Vocaloid] Old Radio

Old Radio is a collaboration by Urara (Macar P) and PiHyara P.

This song, themed around a far future where machines have disappeared, weaves in multiple expressions that evoke the presence of machines throughout.

Its beautiful accompaniment of piano and strings, paired with the sweet voice of the VOCALOID KAITO, heightens the sense of poignancy.

It was surely spring.gomen nasai ga ienakute

It Was Surely Spring / Kagamine Rin

A four-on-the-floor track that poignantly depicts a spring scene and resonates deep in the heart.

Released in March 2023 by I Can’t Say I’m Sorry, it likens fleeting feelings of love to cherry blossom petals that will one day vanish.

Such fragile emotions are expressed with great delicacy.

Coupled with its light rhythm, it evokes a tightening in the chest.

Listening to this work may gently awaken the precious memories sleeping in your heart.

Dreaming Little Birdhaya ya P

【7人で】夢みることり english & romaji subbed “Dreaming Little Bird”

A Japanese-style duet song by Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin.

Their parts sometimes sing in unison, sometimes split, and sometimes stagger like a call-and-response, making it a challenging piece to sing in karaoke and the like.

The lyrics are filled with metaphors and are highly fantastical.
