A Literary Person's Love Letterdoriko
This is a song released in 2014 by doriko, who was even called the god of ballads.
Since doriko has produced many hits, even people who don’t know much about him have probably heard at least one of his songs.
It’s included on the album “Nostalgia.”
Monologue by the Windowhigma
Please be sure to listen with earphones or headphones.
This piece is by Vocaloid producer higma and was released in 2020.
It was originally written for the virtual singer yosumi, and this is the self-cover version.
The floating, chill-out sound pleasantly tickles your eardrums and feels wonderful.
But the loneliness woven into the lyrics really gets to you.
Spending a night alone is something we don’t like, yet somehow it feels comforting, doesn’t it…? The unpredictable song development is another draw—it’s a richly flavorful Vocaloid track.
Lawrence’s BouquetNAO
Amid time that just keeps passing by, this is a Vocaloid song that sings out a wish to be saved somehow—a track that makes your heart ache.
Created by the Vocaloid producer nao and released in 2020.
It carries a slightly dark tone and a faintly gothic atmosphere and worldview—one many listeners are sure to love.
The word choices in the lyrics are exquisite: fragile and beautiful, as if excerpted from a poetry collection.
It even makes you wonder, “Who is Lawrence to me?” It’s a song that can bring you to tears when you’re overwhelmed by loneliness.
Carnivalotetsu
The songwriter and composer is Otetsu, known for his addictive melodies.
The title is a play on words: “Carnival” (a festival) and “Cannibal” (a man-eater).
It’s a striking track featuring a catchy sound and lyrics steeped in loneliness and madness.
I shouldn't have said it.Ibusuki
When you’re heartbroken, you naturally want to listen to songs that lean into those sentimental feelings.
“I Wish I Hadn’t Said It” is a track posted in 2021 by Vocaloid producer Ibusuki.
Its jazzy piano sound and future bass hint at new possibilities for Vocaloid.
The rhythmic flow feels great and lets you experience a more mature Hatsune Miku.
It’s also recommended for fans of jazz and hip-hop.
If you’ve lost a lover or someone dear and are carrying loneliness or a sense of isolation, you’ll likely find it easy to relate.
Crying and crying and crying and crying and cryingUmi-kun
As the title suggests, this is a great song to listen to when you want to have a good cry.
It’s by Umikun, who’s also popular as a vocalist, and it was released in April 2022.
The track unfolds into a grand, EDM-inspired piece as it progresses, and its sound arrangement powerfully stirs your emotions in step.
The true feelings stuck deep in your chest might finally come out when you listen to this song.
It’s also a thoughtful pick to share with a friend who’s feeling down.
HanarebanashiToa
It’s a song with a snappy, satisfying rhythm.
The sulky tone of the lyrics blends with flower’s slightly childlike vocals to create a nostalgic, bittersweet feeling.
The illustration style used in the music video is lovely.
