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

Winter GustWork and P

[MEIKO・KAITO] Winter Wind【Original】

When autumn comes, don’t you feel like listening to something with a Japanese vibe? If you’re in that mood, I recommend “Tsubame Kazaguruma” by ShigotoshiteP.

The song incorporates sounds from traditional Japanese instruments like the shamisen and koto, immersing you in a distinctly Japanese atmosphere just by listening.

If you listen to it while viewing the autumn leaves, it might even prompt you to reflect on Japan’s long history.

A Budding Heart / Hifumi feat. Hatsune Miku

Autumn really suits Japanese-style music, doesn’t it? This song is by the Vocaloid producer Hifumi, also known for “Yuikizuna” and “Moudoku ga Osou,” and it was released in 2020.

It’s the theme song for Amai Irogazaki, a character who appears in the mobile game “#Compass: Combat Providence Analysis System.” It’s an energetic rock number with a super cool finish, and the scattered tones of traditional Japanese instruments are wonderful.

The lyrics, which convey Amai Irogazaki’s straightforward feelings, are another part of its charm.

The more you listen, the more you’ll feel like singing along yourself.

Honey YellowTorero

【VOCARAP】Honey Yellow【Torero】

Stylish songs are perfect for autumn, aren’t they? If you’re looking for something like that, I recommend Torero’s “Honey Yellow.” This track belongs to the “voca-rap” genre, which uses VOCALOID to perform rap vocals.

The funky drum groove intertwines with the rap’s rhythm, creating a very stylish vibe.

Bakemonoftrygry

ftrygry – Bakemono (feat. Hatsune Miku)

A melancholic song that portrays one’s own imperfections and a sense of dissonance with society.

Released by ftrygry in March 2023, it features an appealing electronica sound that blends lightness with poignancy.

It’s rhythmic, yet it mysteriously tightens your chest.

The worldview of the lyrics, which question one’s way of being, is also striking.

It’s a recommended track for times when you feel lonely or want to sink into an introspective mood.

Far away, far away, far away.Nakase Miru

Far, Far, Far. / Hatsune Miku

Set against an emotional soundscape, this Vocaloid track expresses feelings for a cherished person far away.

Released by Miru Nakase in December 2023, it features Hatsune Miku’s breathy, raspy vocals that leave a strong impression.

The lyrics intertwine past memories with present emotions, blending wistfulness with warmth.

It’s perfect for those twilight hours at the turn of the seasons, when you find yourself lost in thought.

When a wave of nostalgia hits, when that special someone comes to mind, why not listen quietly and let it sink in?

Kyō Hyakki Yagyō (Capital City Night Parade of One Hundred Demons)40mP

Hatsune Miku: Tokyo Night Parade of One Hundred Demons (Original)

How about a stylish, poppy yokai song? This piece by 40mP, a popular Vocaloid producer who’s been at the forefront of the scene for a long time, was released in 2017.

Centered on a band sound and colored by rolling electric piano phrases, its brisk feel is part of the charm.

The crisp melodic lines are refreshing, too.

The lyrics, however, carry a touch of bittersweetness.

In terms of theme, it’s perfect for Halloween, an autumn event.

Why not spend a fun day with this song?

Dancing Fragrant Olivelong rains in summer and autumn

Dancing Osmanthus / Hatsune Miku

This is a high-speed Vocaloid track with a distinctive smooth, edge-free sound image and a Japanese aesthetic.

Created by Vocaloid producer Natsuaki Rin, also known for works like “Shizumu Natsuyo ni Kinsenka” and “Utakata Kurage,” it was released in 2022.

The relentlessly driving rhythm throughout and Miku’s matter-of-fact vocals draw you in.

The orange osmanthus’s flower language includes “true love,” and the lyrics contain phrases that evoke that meaning.

If you’re looking for something unlike anything you’ve heard before, this is a must-check.
