Poignant Vocaloid songs: masterpieces that pierce the heart (261–270)
merry badZYYG
“Merry Bad,” the 17th original Vocaloid song by JIG, posted on June 6, 2015.
Composed mainly of piano, drums, and bass, the track is catchy with its steadily ticking rhythm and beautiful, transparent piano phrases.
They blend well with the melody line, making you want to listen to it again and again.
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.
A love song left frozenNishikawa Sasuke
If you’re carrying the sadness of a broken heart, this song might just make you cry.
It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Melancholy a.k.a.
Sasuke Nishikawa, released in 2022.
With hints of R&B, it has a mature atmosphere.
There’s nothing more heartbreaking than a love that never came to fruition, is there? The emotions packed into the lyrics are expressed through KAFU’s innocent singing voice.
The message almost sounds resigned or thrown to the wind… For the person themselves, there may be nothing more to say.
Here’s to having a love with no regrets…
Teacher, is it okay?amagumori
It’s a highly sensitive piece where a frayed, rough-edged heart is poured straight into the lyrics.
Created by the Vocaloid producer Amegumo—also known for tracks like “XXXXXX” and “Star Chaser”—it was released in 2022 as an entry for BOCALOID Collection 2022 Spring.
With a laid-back, band-like tempo, its lo-fi sound design leaves a strong impression.
Despite the relaxed sonic texture, it stirs up a restless feeling as you listen.
The upward lilt at the ends of phrases and the lyrical worldview are likely part of the reason why.
nasal sprayDenporu P
This lo-fi sound is best enjoyed with headphones or earphones.
It’s a track by Denpol-P, also known under the name Koyori, released in 2021.
The swaying singing voice of KAFU matches the chill, atmospheric soundscape, building a world that makes you want to say, “This is quintessential Denpol-P.” It might sound odd to call it unexpected, but if you listen closely, the guitar is actually quite intense.
I feel like that’s where the emotional punch is packed in.
Try listening while savoring each and every word of the lyrics.
