caramelizeAko

Rimuru (Ako) - Caramelize [Original Song]

“Caramelise” is a work by Ako, released in August 2023.

The lyrics depict a protagonist who keeps changing themselves solely to be liked by the person they love.

A notable feature is the deft use of caramel gradually burning as a metaphor for romantic feelings.

Perhaps the other person is seeing someone else through them…

Such anxieties and inner conflicts are expressed as a sweet and bitter “caramelise.”

[Megpoid] Love Is Surely Soaring Up☆ [Original] with Chinese Subtitles

It’s a bright, fun, and sparkly song.

Above all, it’s about the feeling of “I’m giving it my all, so I want you to watch me,” and it lets you feel the greatness of the emotion called love.

It’s the kind of song that makes listeners want to fall in love.

It might really resonate with junior high and high school students.

This is a bittersweet unrequited-love song that begins with a sparkling, shimmering band sound, intertwining sweetness and ache to exquisite effect.

Released in October 2022 as Ito Yukino’s debut work, it’s a passionately crafted track that she—also a member of the band Sky-Bluer-Than-the-Sky City—introduced to the world as her first Vocaloid song.

With a driving sound and the crystal-clear vocals of Natsuiro Karin, it beautifully captures the feeling of a love that keeps spinning its wheels.

The lyrics, infused with a wish to be accepted just as one is, are sure to resonate with anyone nursing a crush.

It’s a heartwarming Vocaloid track recommended not only for those troubled by love, but also for anyone who wants to recall the loves of days gone by.

Kagamine Rin - Melancholic (with Original PV)

Speaking of songs that represent unrequited love in Vocaloid, this is the one! Love is when you realize you’ve fallen for someone before you even notice it happening.

You desperately try to get your crush to notice you, and the spiral of love pulls you in even deeper.

With its distinctive and addictive chorus, this track is a standout.

Hatsune Miku "Melt"

When it comes to Hatsune Miku, this is the song everyone mentions!! It’s a famous track that always comes up in the conversation.

It sings about the bittersweet feelings of unrequited love.

You’re left with that fluttery, hazy excitement—did they end up together in the end or not? The song was created by ryo, the composer of the creative unit supercell.

[Hatsune Miku] Calc. [Project DIVA X]

Is there any unrequited love as heartbreaking as this? This signature song by JimmyThumb-P, a Vocaloid producer who has been at the forefront of the scene for many years, was released in 2010.

It sings of remembering a lover lost due to drifting apart, and a heart that still can’t let go.

The refreshing band sound gives the song’s message even greater depth.

It’s a masterpiece among Vocaloid songs that we want people currently in unrequited love—and those who’ve recently had their hearts broken—to hear.

Please take your time with it!

Before you stop being yourselfLamaze-P

Before You Stop Being You - Hatsune Miku for LamazeP

As a pleasant love song, I’d like to introduce “Before You Stop Being You.” This piece is by Lamaze-P, a producer behind many hit songs.

Set to a soundscape marked by distinctive electronic tones, the lyrics compare the object of affection to various foods.

The way it highlights the person’s charm through different foods is a key listening point.

Also pay attention to the rap section prepared for the latter half.

It strikes a perfect balance—both cute and cool.
