In the season of colors. A collection of Vocaloid songs perfect for autumn [refreshing, wistful]

Picon – Playback ft. Hatsune Miku

Be sure to give this one lo-fi, ambient track a listen on a quiet autumn night.

It’s by the Vocaloid producer Picon, also known as the creator of “Garando,” and it was released in 2021.

Its inclusion in the mobile game “Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! (Project SEKAI)” became a hot topic.

The sound arrangement creates a wistful atmosphere that draws you in.

The uniquely tuned vocals, with words seeming to fall one by one, are also captivating.

In any case, start by listening closely.

Butterfly on the Right ShoulderNori-P

Kagamine Len Original Song: “Butterfly on the Right Shoulder”

A dance tune with a backbeat that makes you want to start moving just by listening.

The futuristic feel of the effects and the modern sense of loneliness expressed in the lyrics strangely match.

The key isn’t high, so it’s easy to sing, which is another feature.

How about enjoying this song as part of the autumn reading season? It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer kemu—also known for “Jinsei Reset Button” and “Kamisama Nejimaki”—released in 2012.

The first thing that grabs you is the sheer power of the sound; even the intro alone draws you into the song’s world.

And what really deserves special mention are the lyrics.

They read almost like a novel, and just reading them is more than entertaining enough.

So, as I mentioned above, give this song a listen with that autumn-for-reading mindset.

“Become Empty” / feat. Hatsune Miku & KAFU

When the hot season passes and you start to feel a chill in the air, do you ever find yourself strangely overcome by loneliness more often? This song will be there to keep you company in those moments.

It’s a piece by Vocaloid producer MIMI, released in 2022.

Despite its very pop sound design, melody, and vocals, what comes through in the lyrics is a sense of loneliness—an electric tune that squeezes your heart tight.

Let the soundscape that seeps into your soul speak for itself—give it a listen with your own ears.

Autumn is also the season when we long for connection.

To ease those sudden pangs of loneliness, why not listen to a devoted, slightly bittersweet love song? This track by the Vocaloid producer doriko—also known for songs like “There’s No Shape to a Song” and “Cat Food”—was released in 2009.

For some, it might have been the song that first introduced them to VOCALOID.

It sparked that big of a boom at the time.

One of its charms is the sound arrangement, which balances romance with intensity.

With its lively rhythm and fast-paced melody, it’s a catchy and bustling track that’s a lot of fun.

Stylish Vocaloid tracks might suit the cool vibe of autumn.

This piece by balloon, who is also active under the singer-songwriter name Keina Suda, was released in 2022.

It drew attention when it was featured as a segment theme on the music show “Buzz Rhythm 02.” High in loudness, catchy, yet tinged with melancholy—the sound arrangement is striking.

It’s a hybrid track blending elements of jazz, EDM, and rock.

I’d say it’s music that pairs well with the red hues of autumn leaves and sunsets.
