Music that comes to your heart. A collection of sad Vocaloid songs.

AriaMIMI

Aria / feat. KAFU

A track by MIMI, distinguished by its beautiful piano tones.

Released in February 2024, this song expresses an earnest wish to remain in the present and not yearn for dawn.

Lyrics imbued with anxieties about growing up and the desire to escape reality resonated deeply with many listeners.

Recommended for those who want to reexamine where they stand.

A moving piece that shines with MIMI’s delicate sensibility.

Sayonara, goodbyeNoboru ↑P

[Hatsune Miku] Sayonara, Goodbye [Project DIVA Future Tone]

Hatsune Miku’s pop requiem.

It seems that while making a death metal track, it somehow turned into pop at the last push.

Contrary to its upbeat sound, the lyrics depict a heartrending farewell.

It’s available for karaoke.

A remastered version was released in 2020 and became a hot topic.

Poor fluffyMushipi

muship – Poor Fluffy [Official Audio]

It’s a song where a sense of pathos seeps through the cuteness.

“Kawaisou Mofumofu” by Mushipi was released in January 2025.

The world woven by the vocals of Hatsune Miku and KAF mixes innocence with madness.

An innocent, fluffy creature is made to bear all the blame… it squeezes your heart tight.

Once you fall into Mushipi’s world, there’s no getting out—come and experience it for yourself.

Flutter and fall apartEZFG

Maihira Chiru – EZFG feat. RIME [Original MV]

Speaking of spring, it’s the season when cherry blossoms bloom and then fall.

That’s why I’d like to introduce “Maihira Chiru.” This is a song released by EZFG, and it portrays the scene of petals fluttering and scattering.

Another highlight is how it layers the fleeting nature of falling blossoms with feelings like loneliness and unease.

Since spring is a season full of farewells, such as graduations, you may find it especially easy to get emotionally absorbed.

Please enjoy it together with the music video, which features visuals that use flower petals as a motif.

Someday, without fail.Deadball P

[VOCALOID Cover] Someday, Without Fail. [KAITO & MEIKO]

This work portrays a sad story themed around a curse that makes one’s voice grow hoarse when they lie.

It’s a song by Deadball-P, released in 2008.

With a vocal duet by Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Rin, it expresses the protagonist’s sorrow.

The lyrics are striking, symbolically depicting the withering process through images like glass-bead eyes and faded silk hair.

The irregular time signatures and the production that makes the voice gradually grow hoarse also enhance the storytelling.

It contains elements reminiscent of The Little Mermaid and Pinocchio, making it a song open to deep interpretation.

Scenerinri

Scene / Naruka Hime

The heartrending ballad “Scene” featuring Meika Hime is also a must-listen.

This is rinri’s entry for “VocaColle 2024 Winter Rookie.” The lyrics portray a man who has lost someone precious, reflecting on his memories.

Watching the animated music video may convey the situation even more clearly—be sure to watch through to the outro.

Also, although it’s a ballad, the arrangement builds momentum toward the latter half, which is another highlight.

RainyEO

Rainy / Rin Kagamine [EO (Eo)]

The song “Rainy,” the kind you’ll want to listen to on a quiet day of continuous rain, was released in 2022 by Vocaloid producer EO.

Sung by Kagamine Rin with a delicate, ephemeral tone, it beautifully conveys sorrow and wistfulness.

The lyrics, which express a wish for the rain to wash away tears and even one’s voice, are highly relatable.

Warm tones woven by piano and acoustic guitar are deepened by strings, further amplifying the plaintive nuance of Rin’s whispery vocals.

Why not sink into this track at a leisurely pace, a warm drink in hand?
