Poignant Vocaloid songs: masterpieces that pierce the heart (221–230)
Eme’s BirdcageRen
This song draws you into a beautiful yet deranged world where a beloved person is locked inside a cold birdcage.
It’s a work released by Vocaloid producer Ren in July 2025.
A dark-pop number with a waltz rhythm that lingers in your ears, it expresses the warped emotions of binding the one you love precisely because you love them, all through a dreamlike sound.
It’s frightening yet impossible to look away—that’s its allure.
Immerse yourself in this allegory-rich world.
Midsummer Rainmaya
A rock tune crafted by Maya, who is also active as a professional guitarist.
The low-voiced duet of Kamui Gakupo and KAITO vividly portrays the scene of rain falling on a summer night, tightening the listener’s chest.
The heavy guitars and their harmonies resonate with aching poignancy.
The lyrics, filled with helpless feelings toward days gone by and a yearning to reunite with a cherished person who is no longer here, are equally heart-wrenching.
It’s a perfect track for nights when you want to drift into contemplation.
Just Be FriendsDixie Flatline
The songwriter and composer is Dixie Flatline, known for expertise in hip-hop and R&B.
It’s a mature, R&B-style track that portrays a sorrowful breakup between a man and a woman.
The song has surpassed one million plays and has been covered by many people.
Astronautpowapowa P
This is a song by HowaHowa-P, who sadly passed away at the young age of 20.
Despite its simple structure, the fully realized world it creates is nothing short of breathtaking.
The gently floating tones and lyrics steeped in loneliness and bittersweet emotion are irresistible.
It was released in 2011.
emptiness/void (kara)Presto
Perhaps everyone has moments when they “somehow feel empty.” That’s exactly when I’d like you to listen to “Kara/Kyo (Emptiness/Void).” It’s a piece by Vocaloid producer Presto, created using Hatsune Miku.
The song centers on the two kanji in the title, expressing both “feeling hollow inside” and “the futility of life.” However, it isn’t gloomy—by the end, it points toward hope for the future.
Listening to it will surely lift your spirits.
