[Refreshing] A Special Feature on Vocaloid Summer Songs [Nostalgia]

Over to the summer skyMochizuki

Into the Summer Sky, Over / Hatsune Miku

It really hits you, especially if you listen to it while looking up at the blue summer sky! It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Mochizuki, released in July 2022, and it was their entry for the Vocaloid event Musyokutoumeisai.

It’s a very exhilarating piece that combines a driving band sound with ringing, triumphant piano.

Miku’s crisp vocals also shine with the song’s tone—so lovely.

That said, the lyrics depict a scene of parting with someone important.

It might be perfect for when you want to sink into an emotional mood!

A Terribly Hot Summer and a KnifeSecret Piercing

A Terribly Hot Summer and a Knife / Kafu

As you keep listening, you’ll start to feel chills down your spine—this is a yandere song.

It’s a work by the Vocaloid producer Naisho no Pierce, released in 2022.

The song portrays the protagonist’s near-mad obsession after realizing their lover is cheating.

The tense rhythm and KAFU’s earnest vocals intertwine in a striking way.

I’m also drawn to the arrangement choices that shape the world of the song—like the audible breaths during the break and the unusually long silence just before the final chorus.

And by all means, make sure to listen all the way through to the outro!

When you think of summer, this is it! This one song is packed with everything summer.

If you just can’t wait for the season, let GUMI deliver summer to you a little early.

The up-tempo chorus feels great.

Garden Edge Stone – Summer’s Sick Leaves, Falling. ft. Hatsune Miku, Nurse Robo_Type T

A summer song by Sona Handaishi, released on August 5, 2023.

Set to an electronic sound, it vividly depicts the fading scenes of summer with themes of transience and sentiment at summer’s end.

The lyrics, which unfold like a soliloquy starting from a gray, sunken state of mind, leave a strong impression.

Touching its deep emotions and poetic elements naturally tightens the heart.

A related short story has been posted on Sona Handaishi’s Note as “supplementary material,” so be sure to check that out as well.

Vocaloid – Summer Sky Nostalgia – mickeY [Ameagari-P] – Hatsune Miku

This is a song by the Vocaloid producer mickeY (Ameagari-P), who rose to prominence with the hit “Tokonatsu Lonely.” It was released in 2014.

It’s a piano rock track that blends freshness with a touch of melancholy.

The end of summer somehow feels lonely, doesn’t it? The lyrics are packed with that very feeling.

Give it a listen and let yourself sink into your memories.

[Hatsune Miku] August Pianist [Original Song]

It sounds like the kind of track you’d hear playing in a stylish café you duck into to escape the summer sun.

As the title suggests, the piano tones accompanying Hatsune Miku’s gentle vocals are truly captivating.

The way it syncs with the melody is lovely, too.

It’s a Vocaloid song that brings peace of mind.

Summer blows.Nelumbo

Summer blows. / No.3 [I tried singing]

Listening to it as a couple might make you feel like cherishing each other more.

It’s a work by the Vocaloid producer Nelumbo, released in 2022.

The song participated in the online Vocaloid event, the Colorless Transparent Festival.

The edgy guitar sound is striking, and the softly resonant piano tones amplify a sense of nostalgia.

With each passing season, it brings back memories of a summer romance and promises to meet again—like watching a cinematic story unfold.
