It’s a bittersweet breakup song that projects the helpless loneliness that comes after parting with a lover.

Created by the Vocaloid producer Mikito-P—also known for “Roki” and “Sarishinohara”—the track was released in 2019 as a message song to “Natsu no Hanken,” which came out in 2014.

The nostalgic soundscape, with strings enveloping the band, leaves a strong impression.

It evokes the image of sound gently flowing from the ears into the heart.

The more you empathize with the protagonist facing the reality of being alone, the more it hurts.

[Yuzuki Yukari] Twilight ache [Original]

This song deliberately emphasizes electronic elements through the combination of electronic melodies and a Vocaloid.

The Vocaloid’s voice is mixed prominently, making it easy to hear—that’s the key point.

Once we part ways, all the days of happiness crumble away.

It boldly expresses that sense of transience.

One word: tragic love.

The Japanese-style melody is so pleasing to the ear that it makes you want to listen to it over and over.

It’s a song about a heartbreaking romance torn apart by the tides of the times.

Thinking about how she must have felt hearing the song he left behind is unbearable.

This is a work by Kapitaro, a Vocaloid producer also known for pieces like “Osorezan le Voile.”

This is a breakup song by Masa, a Vocaloid producer known for creating many Japanese-style horror tracks.

GUMI’s vocals pair perfectly with the catchy, pop-leaning arrangement.

It tells the story of a teenage boy’s heartbreak, and the struggle with his own inability to be strong is deeply moving.

This is a work by Okame-P, sung by GUMI.

It’s a striking song whose lyrics reveal a quiet scene: “I” keep watching over “you,” who, exhausted from searching for something, close your eyes and sleep—standing in stark contrast to the intense backing track.

Yet it feels as though the fierce turmoil in “my” heart is being laid bare not through the vocals, but through the instrumental arrangement.
