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

When night fell, Geng ShibaPeg

When night falls, Geng Eighteen / Hatsune Miku MV

A stylish piece inspired by Pu Songling’s Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Peg, released in 2019.

The rhythmic groove, with a hint of funky music, is striking—you can’t help but start swaying as you listen.

The understated melody line also gently sets your eardrums in motion.

It’s a very cool Vocaloid song that pairs perfectly with the dry autumn winds.

You might hear it differently after reading the original novel.

At the mercy / Hatsune Miku

How about getting hyped with a crisp, electric tune? This piece by r-906, a Vocaloid producer known for their cutting-edge musicality, was released in 2022.

It participated in “VocaColle 2022 Spring” and took the No.

1 spot in the TOP 100 ranking.

Although the structure is close to an instrumental, perhaps thanks to the delicate arrangement, the sense of delirium is astounding.

It has a charm that makes you want to listen on repeat.

Riding that momentum into the latter half, the moment the vocals suddenly come in, your heart naturally leaps—this is a Vocaloid track that showcases r-906’s flair.

BouquetMIMI

"Bouquet" / MIMI feat. KAFU

A heart-stirring electropop track that suits the season when the chill begins to set in.

This song by MIMI was released in November 2022.

KAFU’s clear, translucent vocals and the bittersweet melody leave a strong impression.

The lyrics convey the uncertainty of life and a sense of loneliness.

Yet there’s a ray of hope in how the time spent with someone precious is portrayed as truly valuable.

Perfect for autumn nights, especially when you’re alone and lost in thought.

Rin Kagamine - Meltdown (Original)

Doesn’t its cool sound perfectly match the autumn atmosphere? This popular work by iroha, a Vocaloid producer known for drum and bass–centric music, was released in 2008.

It has a sense of speed, yet it isn’t an “upper” track; there’s a certain wistfulness to it.

Perhaps that’s due to the suggestive lyrics and the matter-of-fact melody.

It’s a classic that can’t be left out when discussing the history of the VOCALOID scene, having inspired numerous fan-made derivative works.

Reincarnated ApplePinocchioP

PinocchioP – Reincarnation Apple feat. Hatsune Miku

It’s a philosophical Vocaloid song that makes you reflect on “Who am I?” It’s by PinocchioP, also known for hits like “ULTIMATE SENPAI” and “God-ish,” and it was released in 2022.

It’s hard to explain, but once you listen, you’ll get it—the kind of sound that feels real beneath the catchiness.

The sound arrangement makes you want to call it “the quintessential PinocchioP world”—it’s irresistible.

And the lyrics’ worldview, centered on an apple that, if you eat it, lets you reincarnate into a different life, is laced with irony that draws you in.

Why not give it a listen while biting into a seasonal apple?

Night SpinningMIMI

MIMI “Night Weaving” feat. Hatsune Miku

This is a soothing Vocaloid track distinguished by its cascading piano phrases.

It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer MIMI, also known for hits like “Nanimonai you na” and “Marshmary,” released in 2021.

It captures the sudden pangs of loneliness we sometimes feel in everyday life, as if cutting them out and presenting them just as they are—a highly relatable work.

The title certainly nudges you in that direction, but especially at night, I imagine many people feel emotions similar to those woven into this song.

Take your time with it on a long autumn night.

The Howling of the Lost OneNeru

Neru – The Wail of the Lost One (Lost One’s Weeping) feat. Kagamine Rin

Isn’t autumn about the time when exam-takers start their final push? Studying day in, day out… it really builds up stress, doesn’t it? Here’s a rock tune I’d love for you to listen to in those moments—one that lets your emotions explode.

It’s a track by Neru, who’s been at the forefront of the Vocaloid scene for a long time, released in 2013.

The hard-hitting sound perfectly matches the heart’s screams, making it a deeply emotional Vocaloid song.

If you want to reset your mood, give it a listen.
