[Refreshing] Big Feature on Vocaloid Summer Songs [Nostalgia] (1–10)
Dawn and Firefliesn-buna
From the sky before a summer dawn to the sky of the morning glow.
Such a scene comes to mind.
There’s also a version covered by the composer, n-buna, himself.
His gentle singing voice and the charm of the acoustic guitar are fully showcased, so if you’re interested, I highly recommend giving it a listen as well.
Ethereal SummerOdd
A bittersweet Vocaloid song that overlays unrequited love with summer scenery.
It’s a track by the music project Odd, which launched in 2024, and was released in August of the same year.
The lyrics’ worldview, comparing fleeting feelings of love to bubbles, really hits home.
Another draw is the soundscape, where band elements and electronic tracks blend exquisitely.
On Nico Nico Douga you can enjoy a solo version by Hatsune Miku, while on YouTube there’s a duet version featuring nachi.
Earbuds and a chorus of cicadasOrangestar
No matter when I listen to it, this is a song that makes me long for summer.
The melody that evokes the end of summer and the lyrics sung in IA’s gentle voice match so well that I can’t help but want to start singing along.
See—can’t you glimpse summer right there?

Alice in the FreezerOrangestar
This is a song by the Vocaloid producer Orangestar, known for works such as “Asu no Yozora Shoukaihan” and who has also made a major debut.
It was released in 2016.
Despite its simple sound, the lyrics and melody evoke a profound world.
Many of Orangestar’s works are themed around summer, so if you’re interested, be sure to check out his other songs as well.
SurgesOrangestar
If you’re looking for a refreshing yet slightly bittersweet coming-of-age song, give “Surges” a listen.
Released in 2021 by Vocaloid producer Orangestar—known for signature tracks like “Asu no Yozora Shoukaihan”—it features a breathtaking, fast-paced melody that tugs at the heart.
It’s an energetic message song that portrays teens with “hope” and “dreams.” The arrangement is irresistible for fans of lively EDM.
Try this summer tune that brings a cool breeze even on sweltering days.
That summer reaches saturation.Kanzaki Iori
This is a summer Vocaloid song that opens with a shocking line.
It was released in 2018 by Kanzaki Iori, a Vocaloid producer known for highly literary works such as “Hated by Life Itself.” While the bouncy piano rhythm and sparkling timbres are striking, the overall atmosphere is undeniably heavy.
That’s likely due to the story woven into the lyrics.
Please listen for yourself to discover the hopelessly pure yet distorted relationship between “me” and “you,” and the tragic tale it tells.
Calc.Jimii Samu P
This is a song by the Vocaloid producer JimmyThumb-P, known for representative tracks like “from Y to Y.” It was released in 2010.
The heartbreaking lyrics evoke memories of a summer romance that ended in passing, bringing tears to your eyes.
It carries a sense of nostalgia that makes you want to listen to it around the end of summer.
