Remnants of FlowersPikon

Time gone by, wounds unhealed, emotions in flux.
.
.
This work delicately portrays parting and loss through the motif of flowers.
Created by Picon and released in August 2024, it layers Seikai’s clear vocals over a distinctive sound that fuses electronica and ambient, yielding a listening experience that seems to seep into the depths of the heart.
The poetic lyrics and ephemeral melodies evoke the feeling of slowly spinning a story, one chapter at a time.
As you listen, bittersweet memories within you may resurface.
Monologue, on the way to schoolUhana Roku

This is a Vocaloid song that sings of feelings for a loved one who never comes to pick you up, tightening your chest with its heartrending sorrow.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Rok Uhana, also known for the hit “Gankubi, Soroete Gokigenyō,” released in 2021.
After graduation, the beloved promised, “I’ll come for you.” But no matter how much time passes, they never appear.
Just imagining what’s going on in the protagonist’s heart is enough to make you cry.
If you’ve experienced a long-distance breakup, it may resonate with you even more.
Reminiscence PoetryYukino Ito

Yukino Ito, a Vocaloid producer who debuted in 2022.
The song she created as an official “Song” for the voice library Koharu Rikka is “Reminiscence Poetry.” Its structure starts gently and builds toward the end, bringing out the best in Koharu Rikka’s singing voice.
The lyrics, which recall days with a cherished person and come to realize it was love, also seem to reflect the growth of Koharu Rikka as a Vocaloid, which is wonderful.
I hope you enjoy its tender yet heartrending world.
Even though I like youYasuha.

Even before the vocals begin, the intro alone almost brings me to tears.
It’s a song that looks back on the joyful times of being in love.
“Back then, we used to laugh together…” I find myself dwelling on thoughts like that.
Combined with Hatsune Miku’s slightly raspy voice, it becomes a tear-jerking track that lets you feel the lingering ache and sadness in the air.

Even though you’re the closest one to me in the worldsamfree

“Even Though I’m the Closest in the World” is a song by samfree, a Vocaloid producer who passed away at a young age.
Released in 2008, it earned Hall of Fame status on Nico Nico Douga.
It’s a piece that feels as if it’s sung by Hatsune Miku to the composer, with a gentle voice that hardly feels electronic, conveying, “I’ll keep singing by your side.” It’s an encouraging ballad that soothes and supports those who are giving their best.
I’ll give you the Earth.Harumaki Gohan

It’s a soft yet beautiful ballad that evokes a sense of nostalgia.
The singer is LUMi, a VOCALOID released in 2017 who has the mysterious background of being the “Shrine Maiden of the Immortal Jellyfish.” For Harumaki Gohan, the composer, this was the first song using LUMi’s voice, and her conversational singing style harmonizes perfectly with the world the song creates.
Summer ticket stubMikito-P

This is a work by Mikito-P, a creator who incorporates a lot of band sounds.
It’s included on the 2014 album “GOOD SCHOOL GIRL.” It’s the original song that later became “Sayonara wa Kienai,” which was created from a different perspective.
The piece portrays the end of a romance, overflowing with poignancy.
Perhaps its unique sense of loss is what makes it a masterpiece.
The guitar at the end is both cool and heart-throbbing.
