Featured Vocaloid songs with lyrics that resonate [Message] (251–260)
On a certain day in August, medical examination datashitoo
This is a poetry reading that draws you into a literary atmosphere.
It’s a work by Shitoo, the Vocaloid producer who rose to prominence with the hit “Noise of Nonsense,” released in March 2023.
The song is nostalgic and heartrending, beginning with the words of a woman who has lost her memory.
Whether it’s the lyrics, the subtext between the spoken lines, or the phrasing, you’ll find that before you know it, listening to the music feels like reading a mystery novel.
It may be a piece that expands your sense of what Voiceroid—and by extension, Vocaloid—can be.
Is it reed?Nanuriso
Let me introduce “Ashidesuka,” a piece packed with a message that makes your heart skip a beat.
It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Nanuriso, created using Hatsune Miku.
The work throws a stone into the pond of society—its systems and education—yet it doesn’t deliver its point bluntly; its charm lies in its witty, refined turns of phrase.
By the way, the title “Ashi” refers to the plant reed, and is likely derived from the famous quote by the philosopher Pascal: “Man is a thinking reed.” Reeds are fragile plants, here likened to human frailty.
Doo doo doohighball
This is a Vocaloid song with a powerful message that sings, “There’s no need to conform—let’s follow the path we believe in.” Created by Vocaloid producer Hainomi, it was released in February 2023.
It’s packed with appeal: a rhythm that makes you want to snap along, flower’s gritty vocals, and a flavorful horn section.
The chorus arrangement, which bursts forth, is also striking.
And above all, the lyrical worldview that gives you the strength to live in the present is phenomenal.
It might just kick the anxieties and hardships crowding your mind far, far away.
IllYugika
‘Ill’ opens up new possibilities for Hatsune Miku.
This track, released by Yugika, features a psychedelic, electronic-driven sound with a strong sense of speed.
Miku sings in a slightly low, husky, whispery voice.
It’s an unprecedented approach, so why not give it a listen first? By the way, the lyrics depict love for someone dear turning into hatred.
The contrast between that dark theme and the fast-paced melody is another highlight.
Reach for the SkyTohta Kasamura
Tota Kasamura, who has produced many piano ballad Vocaloid songs.
The piece he created using GUMI entirely in English is “Reach for the Sky.” This song portrays a woman who throws herself into the sea.
The scenery as seen from the ocean floor is depicted as both beautiful and cruel.
Try listening while substituting the sea and stones mentioned in the lyrics with various other things.
Also captivating is the richly expressive singing achieved with GUMI.
Every single word of the lyrics is filled with emotion.
Silhouette Dancing at NightMiyamori Literature
Be sure to give it a listen after work or on your way home from school! Your usual route home is sure to look a little brighter.
Vocaloid producer Miyamori Bungaku’s “Dancing Silhouette at Night” was released in November 2023.
It was written as the 19th-anniversary song for the MEIKO voice library.
The stylish sound arrangement has a buoyant feel that makes your heart skip along with it.
The lyrics’ message—“Set your worries and anxieties aside for now and just take the first step”—is encouraging, too.
If you’re feeling tired, this song is perfect for you!

You’ll hear a variety of tones—piano, acoustic guitar, strings, and even sound effects like falling water droplets—which makes it delightful to listen to.
The comfortably flowing melody line is another appeal.
