A world where even if I swapped places with someone else, no one would notice.
Is there any meaning to living in such a world? I’ve kept up appearances and stubborn pride all this time, but deep down I just wanted to be loved…
This song expresses those feelings.
If you listen to it when you’re feeling down, the tears won’t stop.
I couldn’t even believe in myself.herunia
When your mind is unwell, you can’t help losing confidence in yourself, which only makes you more exhausted.
In times like that, I want you to listen to Hernia’s “Jibun sae Shinjite Yarezu ni” (“Unable to Even Believe in Myself”).
The song’s lyrics feature a protagonist who becomes ill because they can’t do the same things as everyone around them—something many listeners are likely to see themselves in.
Believing in yourself is the first step toward recovery.

It kicks off in a way that makes you think a drama is about to begin.
The story told by the lyrics is a tangled mess of love and betrayal, yet the accompaniment is so stylish it almost hides that.
Miku’s high notes prick the ears like thorns, and the strange harmony becomes addictive.
Pay attention to the key change in the latter half and the ensuing climax.
Lazily swayingCelery
This piece expresses a looping, circling state of mind by following the same melodic line.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Celery, released in June 2023.
The way candid feelings are laid over a simple arrangement makes it feel like you’re listening to the protagonist’s monologue.
“I don’t want to think about anything right now…” It’s perfect for that kind of mood.
The development toward the outro is especially captivating—an excellent Vocaloid song with great sensibility.
Teens, in particular, will likely relate.
Mother DaysChinozo
It’s a downtempo four-on-the-floor tune that draws polar-opposite reactions—“so cute yet scary.” Produced by the Vocaloid creator Chinozo, known for the smash hit “Goodbye Declaration,” it was released in January 2023.
The song was written as the theme for Maria, a character from Sanrio’s mixed-media series “Mai Mai Maigoen.” It sounds poppy, yet there’s an uncanny sense of darkness lurking underneath.
Even if you don’t know the story of “Mai Mai Maigoen,” you’ll still get hooked!
Heavenly YouLonePi
It’s a piece with a curious sense of floating, its snappy tones and whispers lingering in your ears.
The track is by Vocaloid producer LonePi, known for works like “Hydrangea” and “The Drowned Corpse Wants to Fall in Love,” and it was released in August 2023.
With intricate rhythmic work and an electric piano sound that darts left and right, the more you listen, the more you discover.
Rimuru’s innocent singing voice matches the mood perfectly.
Be sure to add this downer yet highly addictive song to your playlist.
Lion and TigerMisumi
It’s a dark electronic dance number that makes your heart race with its writhing bassline.
The track is by the Vocaloid producer Misumi, also known for the hit “Alter Ego,” and was released in March 2023.
The sound throughout is heavy and sinister, paired with Yukari Kaae’s childlike vocals to make the world of the song feel even more eerie.
In the latter half, the tempo speeds up, embodying the lyrics’ themes.
Turn up the volume and immerse yourself in the world of “Lion and Tiger.”
