Masterpieces of Vocaloid Ballads [Tearjerking & Heart-wrenching] (141–150)
Alright, whatever.baker
“I’m Done” resonates with an orchestral sound that gently cradles loneliness and anxiety.
Created in 2022 by baker, a Vocaloid producer who is also active as an arranger, it features strings and piano tones that build into a grand, expansive atmosphere.
The lyrics, candidly expressing a bittersweet feeling one can’t tell anyone, are striking.
Many will likely relate to the murmured, soliloquy-like phrases.
It’s a ballad that encourages you to stop forcing yourself and slowly face forward.
It will likely stay close to the hearts of those who feel unsettled or are carrying feelings with nowhere to go.
Fairytale,buzzG
buzzG’s 30th song.
buzzG’s tracks are often in the rock genre with heavy sounds and lyrics that tighten your chest—in other words, very “emo”—and this song is exactly that.
Even after breaking up, the lingering attachment… The girl clinging to feelings she can’t throw away, combined with the sound, makes it incredibly emo!
Summer's TransparencybuzzG
BuzzG is a Vocaloid producer known for rock tunes featuring intense guitar work.
While many of his songs are relatively fast-paced, the wistful ballad “Natsu no Toumei” showcases his signature guitar.
The song’s hallmark is the contrast between the beautiful arpeggios that come in from the left channel during the A section and the distorted guitars spreading to both sides in the chorus.
In particular, the guitar tone known as “crunch,” which isn’t over-distorted, achieves a finely tuned sound that truly moves the listener.
The music video’s animation is also beautiful, so be sure to check it out along with the song.
Last Night, Good NightKz
“Last Night, Good Night” by kz, who created numerous masterpieces such as “Packaged” and “Yellow.” Unlike most of his works, this one does not use a four-on-the-floor beat.
It makes great use of Hatsune Miku’s vocal timbre, with a chorus distinguished by its soaring high notes.
signo.ken（neko）
This is the second original VOCALOID song by o.
ken (neko).
It’s a rock ballad that portrays Hatsune Miku’s heartrending feelings as she waits for a master who will never return.
The straightforward, unadorned lyrics and the soaring high notes in the chorus pierce the heart.
Bride of Februaryrisou
“February Bride” is a wedding song composed by Chinmari-P and released in 2016.
Hatsune Miku sings the tender, bittersweet melody that carries the feelings of a woman who has nurtured her love.
It’s a ballad imbued with the creator’s wish for happiness, and because the lyrics are written from a woman’s perspective and match the gentle tone of the music, I think it’s a song that will really resonate with women.
zoetropeyou-man
Rather than calling it “grand,” it makes you want to say “eternal” or “far-reaching”—a work with an astounding sense of scale.
Composed by the Vocaloid producer you-man, also known for “Tiny Bunny” and “Weenie Walker,” it was released in 2020.
In a word… it simply can’t be summed up in one: a uniquely original, profoundly deep piece in 3/4 time.
The jazz-infused style alone is worth hearing.
And layered on top is GUMI’s heart-rending, explosive vocal.
I didn’t know GUMI could sound like this… astonishing.
