DECO*27 – Phony Tale feat. Hatsune Miku

“If only it were a lie…” Isn’t that what everyone thinks when they’re told it’s over? I’ve written the story of my own not-so-fairytale, not blessed with a happy ending, into lyrics as an “Otonise-Banashi.” It’s a song where lingering attachment is laid bare, so palpable you can almost grasp it.

The more you listen, the tighter your chest feels—painful, heartrending, and moving you to tears.

I Got Caught Liking You / feat. Fukase

KasaMura Tota, a Vocaloid producer known for numerous ballads themed around “living,” has released his 81st song, “Kimi wo Suki na Koto ga Bareta” (“It Got Found Out That I Like You”).

Its powerful piano sound and heart-wrenching lyrical storyline make a strong impact.

While the frequent leaps in pitch and bouncy rhythms can make it feel challenging, the overall vocal range isn’t very wide, so it should be approachable.

With a catchy, easy-to-remember melody, it’s a number sure to turn heads at karaoke.

Self-Indulgence – Otomachi Una

A song by Vocaloid producer Komedawara, released in 2020.

It opens with crisp acoustic guitar strumming and a rhythmic vocal melody, and the dry tone of the electric guitar that joins partway through heightens the song’s sense of poignancy—there’s a lot to listen for.

The well-placed break in the first verse catches the ear, creating a tension that keeps the listener engaged and brings out the heartache in the lyrics.

In the outro, playing the main guitar riff an octave higher wraps up the track simply yet effectively.

It’s a tear-jerking Vocaloid ballad that conveys the determination to keep moving forward even through days when nothing seems to go right.

Hatsune Miku – I (don’t) love you (Part.Ⅰ) feat. Yasuha.［English Subtitles］【Vocaloid Original Song】

Even before the vocals begin, the intro alone almost brings me to tears.

It’s a song that looks back on the joyful times of being in love.

“Back then, we used to laugh together…” I find myself dwelling on thoughts like that.

Combined with Hatsune Miku’s slightly raspy voice, it becomes a tear-jerking track that lets you feel the lingering ache and sadness in the air.
