Music that reaches your heart. A collection of sad Vocaloid songs (21–30)
A winter day. At the sea,Garden edging stone
Set against a wintry sea, this poignant piece gently sings of parting and renewal.
Composed by Sonehashi Ishi, it was released in February 2024.
Delicate, layered soundscapes blend with Hatsune Miku’s autotuned whisper vocals to create a deeply affecting finish.
The repeated refrain of “goodbye” in the lyrics conveys lingering attachment to what has been lost.
From winter to spring, subtle emotions surge and recede with the changing seasons.
Listening alone on a winter’s day, you may find it resonates especially deeply.
Karakuri Pierrot40mP
It’s a memorable Vocaloid song that conveys a bittersweet feeling through its melody.
Created by Vocaloid producer 40mP, it was released in July 2011 and included on the album “Chiisana Jibun to Okii Sekai” released the same year.
In contrast to its light, upbeat sound, the lyrics depict emotions tossed about by love.
The self-deprecating expression of comparing oneself to a clown highlights the sadness.
It’s a song that resonates with anyone struggling with love.
Kagerou Daysjin
This song depicts a poignant, heart-stirring time-loop story.
Created by Jin and released in 2011, it expresses the determination to change the fate of a boy and a girl through Hatsune Miku’s vocals set to a fusion of electronica and rock.
While the tempo is upbeat, the lyrics are sorrowful, and that contrast is deeply moving.
The symbolic date and time—August 15th, 12:30 p.
m.
—repeats again and again.
I imagine many people feel like listening to it every summer.
The Disappearance of Hatsune MikucosMo@Bousou-P
It can be called one of the masterpieces of the Vocaloid scene.
It’s one of cosMo@Bousou-P’s signature songs, released in 2008.
Its defining feature is an ultra–high-speed melody that’s only possible with Vocaloid.
The vocals stream into your ears so fast that it’s hard to catch the words as language.
The lyrics convey Hatsune Miku’s thoughts just before she fades away; while questioning the meaning of her own existence—nothing more than an imitation of a human—her resolve to keep singing to the very end is deeply moving.
It’s a sad song that still makes you want to look forward—such is this Vocaloid track.
Cowardly Mont BlancDECO*27
A song filled with sweet, bittersweet feelings of love.
Released by DECO*27 in April 2010, it’s marked by a medium-tempo rock sound and weighty lyrics.
The protagonist’s feelings are laid out so poignantly that it tightens your chest just listening.
GUMI’s calm vocals beautifully capture those emotions as well.
Perfect for anyone troubled by love or wanting to reminisce about the past.
It’s easy to sing at karaoke too, so give it a try.
meltdowniroha
Known as one of iroha’s signature works, this song captivates with Kagamine Rin’s clear, crystalline vocals.
Released in December 2008, it’s no exaggeration to say the track helped shape the Vocaloid scene that followed.
The lyrics vividly depict complex emotions, and the distinctive sound—featuring elements of drum’n’bass and techno—leaves a strong impression.
As mentioned, it also had a major impact on Vocaloid culture, inspiring a wealth of fan art and novels.
Be sure to pay attention to each word and the richly layered sound arrangement.
Deep Sea GirlYuyuyu-P
How far will the wounded, grief-stricken girl sink? It is included on yuyu’s major-label debut and best-of album “Shikisai no Hoshi” as well as on “EXIT TUNES PRESENTS Vocalodream feat.
Hatsune Miku.”
