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

I'm sorry for being alive.shizuku

Sorry for staying alive / Kanashi Kunai (Kahu)

A painful Vocaloid ballad that lays bare the deep darkness of the heart.

Borrowing KAFU’s voice, shizuku depicts crushing guilt about one’s own existence and profound loneliness.

Released in January 2025, this piece sets an earnest struggle with life to an emotional piano melody.

Its intense, soul-baring expressions pierce the hearts of those wrestling with self-denial.

When you’re troubled by living and feel like you might stop in your tracks, this work will stay by your side.

I can't go anywhere.Usagi 3

Nowhere to go. / Kagamine Len

A song whose weighted emotion truly strikes the heart.

It’s a work by Vocaloid producer Usagi 3, released in February 2025.

Emotionally charged rock sounds intertwine with lyrics that distill feelings for a cherished presence.

Its dramatic progression shakes the deepest emotions to the core.

You can’t help but ponder the story behind why there’s “nowhere to go.”

My godHanyuu Maigo

A break-up song that poignantly conveys the ache of unrequited feelings.

Released in November 2024 to coincide with the event “The Power Of Regret” in the rhythm game Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku.

The arrangement, characteristic of Hanyuu Maigo, leaves an impression with hints of traditional Japanese elements.

The lyrics reflect the emotions of being forced to part with someone precious and the resolve to face forward despite carrying loneliness.

When you feel isolated or lost, this song is sure to stay close to your heart.

Don't go.Souta

Uta-nee Yuki “Don’t Go” (remaster)

A delicate, heartrending song about parting with someone dear.

Released by Sota in October 2013, this track moved many listeners from the moment it came out.

Kae Yuki’s gentle vocals, the faintly nostalgic melody line, and the lyrics that capture the inexpressible emotions felt at the moment of farewell all strike straight to the heart.

I think it especially resonates when you listen to it after being separated from a friend or going through a heartbreak.

Dear me, who couldn't become anything. / Hatsune Miku – Polypho

This is a rock number that sings about being tormented by self-denial.

The song is by PolyphonicBranch, also known as Polifo, and was released in 2019.

With a powerful guitar sound and Hatsune Miku’s clear, transparent vocals in splendid harmony, the lyrics reflect feelings of resignation and farewell.

It’s a song you should turn to precisely when you feel you’ve lost your sense of purpose and are burdened at heart.

It will surely prompt you to reflect on your own way of life.

I wonder if they have died.Guiano

Guiano – Have I Died? (feat. flower)

This song by Guiano, a Vocaloid producer who is also active as a singer-songwriter, was released in July 2018.

It’s included on the album “Love & Music.” The grand, EDM-based arrangement lingers in your ears along with flower’s vocals that sound as if they’re wringing out pure emotion.

The lyrics convey a regret for days that will never return, and it’s enough to make you cry.

When you listen, you can’t help but overlay it with your own life.

Why not give it a listen when you want to reset your feelings?

A story that seeps deep into the heart, performed by ten synthetic voice libraries.

Created by Toa Kasamura and released in November 2023.

The lyrics, woven from 32 questions, delicately portray self-inquiry and anxieties about the future.

Each one is so relatable that it feels as if the music is speaking on your behalf.

The quiet, piano-centered arrangement and layered harmonies also stir powerful emotions.

On nights when you feel alone, take the time to listen closely.
