There’s something about listening to it at the end of summer that will resonate especially deeply.

“Night Flight,” a track by Δ a.k.a.

delta, was released in August 2023 and participated in the VOCALOID Collection Summer 2023 TOP 100 rankings.

Its rich, immersive soundscape is best enjoyed with earphones or headphones—each tone draws you in so much that you can’t help but recommend it that way.

The beauty of its worldbuilding will take your breath away.

And the insanely high-quality animated music video is a must-see!

The warm, mellow tones of the piano gently resonate.

This is a song released in 2012 by 40mP, a Vocaloid producer known for works like “Melody in the sky” and “Torinoko City.” It’s an August love song, filled to the brim with feelings for someone special.

A very peculiar Vocaloid track that blends a nostalgic, summer-festival vibe with futuristic soundscapes.

Composed by OLDUCT, it was released during VocaColle 2023 Summer in August 2023.

It’s a work with a Japanese aesthetic and an electronica touch, where each sound feels crisp and satisfying.

It both lifts your spirits and soothes you at the same time, and I think the impression it gives can shift depending on the listener and their mood in the moment.

Before you know it, you might find yourself singing along.

You’ll be drawn in by the timbre that sounds like it’s being played in reverse and the somewhat Japanese-style arrangement.

The track is by the music unit PENGUINS PROJECT, consisting of Shishunki-P and Hatsune Miku.

It was released in 2010.

Highly recommended for those who enjoy a dreamy atmosphere.

You’ll find yourself humming the chorus before you know it.

The summer night sea feels somehow mysterious, doesn’t it? This song fits that image perfectly.

It’s by the Vocaloid producer gomezkei, also known for “Colorful World.” It was released on Niconico in 2009.

The gentle soundscape and Hatsune Miku’s soft voice are soothing.

Starting with vocal harmonies reminiscent of a cappella, this refreshing track features Hatsune Miku singing expansively over drum and bass.

The composition is by yellow_line and the lyrics by souffle.

Set against the backdrop of the summer sea, the lyrics depict a girl who becomes aware of her male friend for the first time.

The song’s evolving sections, each with a different character, evoke the bittersweet feeling of first love.

It’s a song that depicts feelings of love growing against the backdrop of scorching summer sunshine and sunsets by the sea.

Set to an energetic, fast-paced melody, it breezily sings of a faint, budding romance.

It’s the kind of song that makes you want to fall in love! The sparkling synthesizer tones are wonderful, too.
