Pocket of Misfortune / Ura-inochi [MV]

When you’re feeling lonely or isolated, this song might sit by your side.

It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Uro, released in April 2023.

With an acoustic guitar tone that lingers in your ears, it’s a catchy band-style piece.

The lyrics are striking, as if the protagonist is letting words slip out bit by bit.

Their down-to-earth feelings toward “unhappiness” come through, leaving us with a bittersweet ache.

How about listening on a rainy day, while taking in the view?

This is a work by Magurojuice that beautifully blends delicate ambient sounds woven from the patter of rain with a rhythmic beat.

The lyrics, filled with feelings for someone who is no longer here, quietly seep into the depths of your heart.

It’s perfect for calming your mind during the damp, rainy season.

Why not gaze at the raindrops streaming down the window and listen in quiet contemplation?

Bokakore 2023 Spring Rookie saw countless Vocaloid tracks posted.

Among them, the winner of the “Hoshino Disco Award” was “Leon.” This piece was created by hotal under the solo project name Project Lumina.

It depicts someone gazing at the sea, yearning for a cherished person they can no longer meet.

Beyond the beauty of the lyrics, we hope you’ll also pay attention to the skillful techniques—such as using multiple Vocaloids for the chorus—when you listen.

UK, a leading figure in the Vocaloid scene.

The stylish yet dreamlike soundscape and the lyrics’ worldview, which reveals a heartrending story, pierce the heart.

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Harumaki Gohan, also known as the creator of “Meltyland Nightmare,” released in March 2023.

I’m drawn to the spacious sound that feels as if you can see stars twinkling in the night sky.

While the song is crafted with such beautiful tones throughout, the tempo is on the faster side.

You can sense the protagonist’s shaken emotions through the sound itself.

Be sure to pay attention to the noisy guitar solo in the interlude as well.

The way it surges into the chorus is exhilarating.

Maihira Chiru – EZFG feat. RIME [Original MV]

Speaking of spring, it’s the season when cherry blossoms bloom and then fall.

That’s why I’d like to introduce “Maihira Chiru.” This is a song released by EZFG, and it portrays the scene of petals fluttering and scattering.

Another highlight is how it layers the fleeting nature of falling blossoms with feelings like loneliness and unease.

Since spring is a season full of farewells, such as graduations, you may find it especially easy to get emotionally absorbed.

Please enjoy it together with the music video, which features visuals that use flower petals as a motif.
