[Hatsune Miku] Instead of Goodbye, a Bouquet [Original]

This was Hanataba-P’s debut song and the origin of the name.

It was released on Niconico in 2008.

The gently heartrending piano tones, Miku’s vocals, and the melody fit together so well that the atmosphere alone can bring you to tears.

The lyrics overflow with feelings for a beloved person who is no longer here.

For example, if you’re living away from your hometown, listening to it might bring to mind your family and friends back home and move you to tears.

It’s a masterpiece that slowly seeps into your heart.

The happiest way to die in the worldOld Song18rank/position

The Happiest Way to Die in the World / Reminiscence Song feat. IA

Even with its striking title, “The Happiest Way to Die in the World” is drawing attention.

It’s a ballad that sings about the idea that “if everyone hates you, perhaps it wouldn’t be sad even if you were to die.” Take a moment to reflect on that perspective yourself.

Another appeal is how the simple piano tone accentuates IA’s vocals.

With its very quiet melody, it’s also perfect as a companion for relaxation time.

When it comes to Luka Megurine, many people probably think of this song.

“Just Be Friends,” an R&B number by Dixie Flatline about a sorrowful breakup.

With over a million views, it’s a classic that cannot be left out of Vocaloid history.

Told from a male perspective looking back on a past relationship, it conveys a heartrending sense of longing.

It’s such a sad, heart-wrenching love song that people in the YouTube comments say it makes them feel like crying no matter how many times they listen.

Hatsune Miku.” The lyrics revolve around themes of anxiety and hope for the future, as well as a dreaming heart.

The track carries a warmth that gently embraces and comforts listeners.

Cowardly Mont BlancDECO*2721rank/position

DECO*27 – Coward Mont Blanc feat. GUMI

When it comes to GUMI songs, this is the one! I’m sure many Vocaloid fans would agree.

This track, created by the Vocaloid producer DECO*27—who has also written many songs for famous artists—was released in 2010.

The lyrics candidly portray the protagonist’s emotional weakness: even though they were supposed to love that person, at some point they lost sight of their true feelings.

You can feel that pain coming through the music, and it tightens your chest.

There’s also a novel adaptation, which I highly recommend checking out as well.
