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

Swim through the nightTakahiro Nishijima

Hatsune Miku / Swimming Through the Night

The chic vibe of its city pop sound is absolutely incredible.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Takahiro Nishijima, known for his avant-garde musicality, released in 2018.

The rhythmical sonic palette with a touch of jazz is truly a pleasure to listen to.

The word choices in the lyrics are distinctive as well, and I’m overwhelmed by the depth of the world that Nishijima creates.

It’s perfect for a long autumn night when you want to really sink into the music.

Ideally, look up at a night sky where the moon and stars are beautifully twinkling as you listen.

A sad autumn breakup song that traces memories with a loved one.

It’s a work by Kagura-P, a Vocaloid producer known for Japanese-style songs, released in 2009.

The wistful arrangement resonating with the sound of flutes pairs perfectly with Megurine Luka’s vocals.

It’s a tear-jerking Vocaloid track that seeps gently into the depths of your heart.

You can’t help but imagine why the protagonist and their partner ended up separated.

Please enjoy it while gazing at the autumn foliage.

When the con man starts to laughNashimoto-P

Hatsune Miku - When the Con Man Laughs

Doesn’t autumn strangely feel like it has a strong association with the night? Maybe it’s because it’s moon-viewing season.

With that in mind, how about a “night”-ish, spiky rock-style Vocaloid track? It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer Nashimoto-P, known for “Aaaaaaaaah” and “Shinitagari” (“Death-Seeker”), released in 2009.

The word choices in the lyrics are almost aggressive, and the edgy band sound is incredibly cool.

And that shocking ending… please experience it with your own ears.

Funeral of ThoughtsToa

Toa – Requiem – ft. Hatsune Miku

It’s a bittersweet Vocaloid song that sings about how feelings for someone don’t change, even as time passes and the seasons turn.

Composed by Toa, a Vocaloid producer also known for works like “Patchwork Staccato,” it was released in 2013.

The ethereal sound arrangement and Hatsune Miku’s whisper-like vocals are striking.

Perhaps because of that, the emotions woven into the lyrics seep deep into your heart.

When the autumn wind blows, you can’t help but feel a little lonely, right? This song is perfect for moments like that.

Inabakumori “Think Tank” Vo. Urame

A cool, understated rock tune that feels just right for an autumn night.

It’s a track by Inabakumori, who drew international attention from Vocaloid fans with the hit “Love-train,” released in 2022.

The sound is refined without feeling forceful—very much Inaba’s style.

Also notable is the contrast between Urame’s soft vocal delivery and the groovy bassline.

The lyrics, which trace the feelings of a protagonist reflecting on the sorrow of “you,” hit especially hard when you feel the chill of the autumn breeze.

Matenrōpolar bear.

Matenrō / Polar Bear. feat. Hatsune Miku × flower

In autumn, when the cold air brushes your skin… this is the perfect song for when you’re feeling a little sentimental.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Shirokuma, released in 2021.

The emotional guitar rock sound pairs beautifully with the wistful vocals of flower and Hatsune Miku, making for a heart-wrenching Vocaloid piece.

One of its charms is the dramatic arrangement that balances stillness and motion.

You can’t help but wonder—what kind of story is about to begin from here? It really sparks the imagination.

Try listening to it at a higher volume while watching the sunset.

roadblockwowaka

wowaka “Tosenbo” feat. Hatsune Miku / wowaka – Tosenbo (Official Video) ft. Hatsune Miku

It’s a stylish rock number that perfectly captures the crisp feeling of autumn.

The song was written by wowaka, who also served as the frontman of the rock band Hitorie, and it was released in 2009.

True to his comment that he made it as a tsundere theme song, the lyrics depict the feelings of somewhat contrary, hard-to-please protagonists.

The way wowaka expresses that kind of romantic push-and-pull with cool sounds and melodic lines is so characteristic of him.

It’s an exhilarating masterpiece.
