Melancholic Vocaloid songs: masterpieces that pierce the heart

See You Next Week / Hatsune Miku (To Be Continued)

Despite its lighthearted greeting, this piece grips the heart with the sorrow of an endless battle.

It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Ashu, released in January 2026.

Using the motif of a magical girl, it portrays the hidden, solitary wounds suffered behind everyday life.

The ballad-style arrangement exudes a sense of resignation that tightens the chest.

I think it especially resonates when you’re alone and overwhelmed by loneliness.

Slowly NightMIMI

“Slowly Night” / feat. Hatsune Miku

It’s a very gentle Vocaloid song that comforts a lonely heart as if watering a flower.

“Slowly Night,” created by the popular Vocaloid producer MIMI—who also brought us songs like “Mashumary”—was released in June 2024.

The tempo is on the faster side, with MIMI’s signature piano sound as the foundation.

Miku’s vocals are truly soft, and it feels as if they embody the world of the lyrics.

On nights overwhelmed by loneliness, on nights when you’re afraid of tomorrow, this song will surely come to your rescue.

[Official] Failure Girl / Kairiki Bear feat. Hatsune Miku

A song that candidly voices the feelings of a girl who struggles to live and feels suffocated.

It’s said to be the song of Ellis, a character from the novel “Manemane Psychotropic,” but many fans resonated with the lyrics, saying, “It’s just like me.”

GUMI’s vocals resonate with refreshing beauty in this heartrending love song.

The lyrics, moving enough to bring tears to your eyes, are a must-read.

Despite its bittersweet tone, the signature high-speed energy of kemu’s sound remains fully intact.

Atonement / feat. VOCALOIDs

When you’re going through something tough or feeling lonely and isolated, you find yourself wanting to listen to songs that speak to you gently, don’t you? “Atonement,” included on Vocaloid producer Tota Kasamura’s 2018 release “Even Without an Umbrella, We Set Out,” is a track where a poignant piano resonates.

Its melody unfolds with a simple arrangement that’s moving and carries the appeal of a choral piece.

The lyrics, which give voice to aching feelings and unspoken truths, are also noteworthy.

In a world with many places to belong—school, work, the internet—this song gives you strength in those heartbreaking, helpless moments.

Charles / flower

This song was produced by Balloon, who is also active as a singer-songwriter under the name Keina Suda.

It’s a song themed around parting.

Although the lyrics don’t describe it in detail, the sadness of two people whose feelings no longer align vividly comes to mind.

Don’t go.Souta

Uta-nee Yuki “Don’t Go” (remaster)

As the title suggests, it’s a song about “me” reluctant to part.

Though I really want to hold you back, I swallow the words “please don’t go,” and try to hold back my tears—a touching determination that makes me feel lonely, too.

It is included on the album “Shonen Shoujo no Kotoba.”
