[Feelings] A selection of Vocaloid songs with lyrics that resonate [Message]

Yubikiri Setsunasiglyna

Yubikiri Setsuna / Hatsune Miku

A poignant, heartfelt song that sings of the sorrow of changing everyday life and the beauty of memories.

It’s a track by the music duo siglyna—composer/lyricist Itomizu and mixing engineer eddy—released in April 2022.

It begins with a quiet intro, then layers sound all at once in the chorus to express overflowing emotion.

Hatsune Miku’s earnest vocals convey both the feelings tied to promises of the past and the strength to live in the present.

It’s a work that stays close to those determined to move forward, even as they’re confused by partings and change.

The Wonderland and Alice.Surely, forever, alone.

Alice in the Land of Wonders ft. Yamine Renri

It’s a mysterious Vocaloid track that makes the boundary between reality and fantasy feel like it’s growing blurred.

“Kitto, Zutto” is a song by Bocchi-san, released in October 2021.

The fantastical world woven by Yamine Renri’s vocals is somehow eerie yet beautiful, drawing the listener into its story.

A guitar-driven rock sound intertwines with elements of electronica, resulting in a melancholic finish.

And each word of the lyrics, like a soliloquy, pierces the heart.

It’s a perfect song for when you want to escape from reality.

Fallen blossoms were watching the summer. / Hatsune Miku

A bittersweet yet beautiful piece that paints feelings for time that has passed, like blossoms falling away.

Created by resipa and released in June 2024.

Its mellow sound, led by piano and guitar and layered with sound effects that evoke summer scenes, conveys silence and nostalgia.

From a poetic worldview where dreams and reality intersect, you can sense both the cherishing of time with someone precious and a feeling of loss.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to alone on a quiet night.

Guzuttare [UTAU, original]

I find myself absorbed in a richly layered sound image with a nuance distinct from both band sound and electric sound.

“Guzuttare,” by Vocaloid producer ykewatt, was released in August 2023.

It was a participating track in the Top 100 ranking of VocaColle 2023 Summer.

The song’s rhythmic composition, imbued with a nostalgic atmosphere, is striking, and the coolness of the melody line fits perfectly within it.

And while the lyrics hurl curses at an unchanging self, the declaration that “that is exactly who I am” makes my heart swell.

Only serious.Aotani

Only Serious. / Aotani feat. Kitsuneko

When someone who usually acts like a delinquent or is sloppy does one small good deed and gets showered with praise.

.

this work throws a stone into that scene.

It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Aotani, released in March 2023.

While it has a poppy, cute vibe, it actually carries a heavy message.

I’ve lived earnestly, and that person definitely didn’t—but our evaluations are completely different.

If you’ve ever felt anger in a situation like that, this will absolutely hit home.

Angel wings.A4。

A4. - Angel Wings. feat. KAFU & Gekiyaku

“Angel Wings” is a standout track with lyrics that feel like venting negative emotions.

Set to a four-on-the-floor dance-pop beat, the melody sung by the distinctive voice library KAFU becomes irresistibly catchy! The build-up toward the chorus matches the lyrical content perfectly, making it addictive.

The EDM-like drop in the chorus is exhilarating, too! A4’s songs are all easy to groove to, so be sure to check out their other tracks as well.

flatulenceKaniki Shitoo

Heikousen | Kanigi Shitoo Vo. Kasane Teto SV

This song sharply captures the loneliness and alienation felt by people today.

Created by Shito Kanigi, it was released in October 2024.

The unforceful singing voice of Kasane Teto SV expresses the worldview with clarity.

The sound arrangement, with a touch of jazz, is stylish and laid-back.

Why not give it a listen when you’re struggling with relationships or want to sort out your feelings?
