Just Once, I Want You to Pat My Head / zuki feat. Hatsune Miku

This work by zuki was released in July 2024.

Hatsune Miku’s clear singing voice gently embraces the heartrending lyrics that center on the theme of the parent-child bond.

Combined with the emotional melody, it resonates deeply in the listener’s heart.

Holding a sense of gratitude toward family while wondering, “Am I truly loved?”—I imagine many people can relate to that feeling.

Medicine Box / Kafun – Polypho

If you feel resigned, thinking “There’s no point in telling the truth,” try listening to this song.

Kusuribako (Medicine Box) by PolyphonicBranch, also known as Porifo, was released in May 2023.

Its relaxed, leisurely tempo and melody line that almost sounds like a nursery rhyme leave a strong impression.

It’s very pleasant to listen to, yet there’s a certain shadow in the lyrics, and that gap really gets to you.

It might be perfect for those solitary moments when you want to reflect on life.

Flywayhalyosy

halyosy – Flyway ft. Kagamine Len, KAITO [Official Video]

This is a newly written piece for the unit Leo/need from the mobile game “Project Sekai: Colorful Stage!”.

It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer halyosy, also known as the creator of the famous Vocaloid graduation song “Sakura no Ame,” and it was released in January 2023.

It’s a mixed-style ballad that builds on R&B while incorporating Japanese-inspired development.

The call-and-response parts between Len and KAITO are really wonderful! As halyosy says, it’s a “song to cheer on those setting off,” and I can recommend it as a song to give to someone important who’s going far away.

Wind to flowersBalloon

Wind to the Flowers / Hatsune Miku

Balloon, a Vocaloid producer who rose to fame with the hit song “Charles,” one of the defining tracks of the late 2010s Vocaloid scene, released “Hana ni Kaze” in 2023.

Known for crafting story-driven music, he portrays a protagonist struggling with love, weaving in a poignant message sung as if to confirm the presence of their beloved.

Listeners can sense a range of emotions from the transparent synth tones and the intertwining, girlish vocals of Hatsune Miku.

From monologue-like spoken passages to a passionate chorus, it’s a Vocaloid track that showcases a wide vocal palette.

Tetrad That Lights Up the World (Vocaloid ver.) / OSTER project

It’s a Vocaloid song filled with positive messages that celebrate individuality and diversity.

Created by OSTER project, this track was released in February 2024 as an original song for Project Sekai.

Its catchy melody and highly message-driven lyrics are truly appealing.

It’s imbued with a warm sentiment that individual dreams and hopes come together to weave a grand story.

The song emphasizes the importance of supporting each other and growing even when facing difficulties, making it perfect when you need the courage to look ahead.

It’s also loved as an image song for the in-game unit “Wonderlands×Showtime.”

[Hatsune Miku] Parental Love / Kantewi [Original Song]

While pursuing the love between parent and child, this work also depicts the distortions lurking in its shadows.

Released by Kanteiku in February 2025, it is marked by Hatsune Miku’s husky vocals and a subtly unsettling sound.

Despite its heavy atmosphere, the piece alternates between a sense of drive and a waltz-like feel, revealing multiple facets as it progresses.

I highly recommend it to those who can relate to the complex emotions hidden within deep affection.

Pusi / r-906 feat. Hatsune Miku

In an era where instant ways of enjoying music—like “listening only to the hook” or “hearing it in short videos”—are booming, this song’s ironic message pierces the scene deeply.

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer r-906, known for a stylish musical sensibility, released on December 22, 2022 on the official Hatsune Miku YouTube channel.

For r-906’s intentions behind the production, please see the video description, but in any case, the song’s addictive quality is incredible.

The high-speed development of the sound has a charm that makes you feel like you could keep listening forever.

The rapid-fire melody also firmly conveys that distinctive “Vocaloid-ness.”
