I don’t want to die, but it can’t be helped.tomuran
Some of you might be under a lot of stress or have gone through something sad and lost your motivation.
If that’s you, I recommend listening to “I Don’t Want to Die, But It Can’t Be Helped.” It’s a piece by the Vocaloid producer Tomoran.
The song portrays a protagonist who’s been crushed by reality and has lost the will to live, lying in bed and sinking deep into their thoughts.
They hit rock bottom, but at the very end of the song, they spring back to their feet.
It’s a “dark” song, but I think listening to it will lift your spirits!
VitaHiiragi Kirai
When it comes to Vocaloid songs that keep you company on melancholic nights, “Vita” comes to mind.
Created in 2022 by Vocaloid producer Kirai Hiiragi, who provides songs to many vocalists, it resonates with a passionate sound set in a gothic world.
The song candidly expresses a troubled heart, making it something you’ll want to listen to on nights filled with loneliness or anxiety.
Also pay attention to flower’s performance, packed tightly with aching emotion.
It’s a deep track you’ll crave when you can’t stop overthinking.
Give this “yami” song a listen—one that stays close to feelings you can’t tell anyone about.
I found outShiino Mirin
Its aggressive sound image and poetry-reading-like development are cutting-edge.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Mirin Shiino, who made a name with the hit “Well Then, I Hope Your Ideology Dies,” released in October 2022.
The sound arrangement feels like waves of audio crashing over you—absolutely superb.
It pairs seamlessly with the relentless vocal delivery, and before you know it, the roughly three-minute runtime has flown by.
The lyrics, which stimulate philosophical thought, are another major draw.
Add this one-of-a-kind Vocaloid track to your playlist.
Traffic jamNiru Kajitsu
The lo-fi vocals, simple rhythm track, and a synth phrase that carries a hint of unease all linger in your ears.
It’s a piece by Nirukajitsu, the world’s first (?) fruit Vocaloid producer, released in 2019.
If you feel like there’s something wrong with you, you might find this relatable.
The chorus groove is just too good.

Repeat Onenekomushi
This is a song about realizing you were nothing more than a convenient presence to the other person.
It’s a track by Nekomushi-P, the well-known Vocaloid producer behind “Wanwan-o Nyannyan-o,” released in 2010.
Despite its catchy melody, it conveys a crushing sense of heartbreak.
If you’ve recently gone through a breakup, you might find something to relate to in it.
Let’s give up.tsumigusa
Zaisou’s “Let’s Give Up” is a track released in July 2024.
Set to Hatsune Miku’s vocals, it weaves a fantastical yet deranged world that grabs listeners by the heart.
The lyrics, which depict the protagonist breaking into a home, create an intensely serious atmosphere.
The spoken-word sections make the worldview feel even more real.
If you like scary-style Vocaloid songs, this is one you should definitely hear.
Listening alone late at night might send chills down your spine.
GiftedEnraku Asobi
The Vocaloid producer Enraku Asobi released “Gifted” as a “cool track.” It portrays a protagonist who, because of their genius, can’t connect with anyone and feels isolated.
The powerful choice of words and the heavy bass are, in a word, “cool.” The vocals use Uraname, and the pitch swings dramatically up and down—this could be interpreted as expressing the protagonist’s inner conflict, or even a scream.
Also, pay attention to the intricate rhymes woven throughout the song.
