Vocaloid Love Song Special: Heart-Fluttering, Tear-Jerking, etc.

A love song left frozenmelancholic; wistful

Frozen Love Song (feat. KAFU) #1

When you’re tormented by an unrequited love, you just want to listen to a bittersweet love song, don’t you? “Frozen Love Song,” released in 2022 by the music unit Monouege, is a mid-tempo ballad that portrays a winter romance.

Its soft, airy synths leave a strong impression, and the classic melodic line is sure to bring tears to your eyes.

Sung by Kafu, whose voice has a girlish quality, it conveys a deeply sentimental mood.

Packed with that quintessential J-pop feel, it’s a great recommendation even for those who don’t usually listen to Vocaloid tracks.

Why not give it a listen when you’re feeling unbearably lonely?

[noire] Fading Ghost [tried singing]

It’s a sad love song sung from the perspective of a ghost who is about to disappear, addressed to “you.” The track, created by Nanashi Hachiya—also a member of the creative group Van de Shop—was released in 2018.

Just when the sparkling tones of the piano seem to resonate, the chorus explodes with emotion.

Then comes a dubstep interlude.

It’s a high-quality Vocaloid song that rapidly shifts its expression.

The English lyrics are cool, too.

DECO*27 – Poison Apple feat. Hatsune Miku

What’s drawing attention is Dokuringo (Poison Apple), which combines two elements: a cynical view of romance and a story rooted in fairy tales.

This piece was released in 2022 by the Vocaloid producer DECO*27.

The lyrics liken love to a poisoned apple, pushing the other person away.

I also want you to pay attention to the vocals and the sound.

The sound carries a distinctly Japanese flavor, while the vocals are high-tempo and nearly breathless.

That contrast deepens its one-of-a-kind worldview.

Chinozo “Jealousis” feat. KAFU

Single-minded love, heartbreak… there are countless forms of romance, but this song is about jealousy.

It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Chinozo, known for the smash hit “Goodbye Declaration,” released in 2021.

Wrapped in a bouncy piano phrase over a funky band sound, it’s an easy-on-the-ears piece.

The tone meshes well with Kafu’s appealingly light vocals.

The pleasing flow of the lyrics and melody is quintessential Chinozo.

Be sure to give this uniquely atmospheric love song a listen.

Demon LordKanaria

[Hatsune Miku] Demon Lord [Kanaria]

One of the charms of love songs is that they let you discover perspectives on romance you don’t personally have.

It’s fascinating to think, “There might be someone out there who loves like this.” With that in mind, let me introduce Demon Lord.

This track is by Kanaria, known for having every song they’ve created inducted into the Hall of Fame.

The lyrics portray a person who, driven by selfish thinking, toys with someone who has feelings for them—likening that person to a demon.

The expressions are stylish and sharp, so if you like cool-sounding tracks, this one’s for you.

But, but, but...Takanon

[GUMI] Because, Because, Because [Original PV] / Takanon [Official]

I wonder if they’ll finally notice me if I do the things they said they liked.

This song is about those delicate feelings of a maiden.

Even if I change myself, there’s a love I want to make come true.

Yes, there’s a love here I absolutely can’t afford to lose.

It might help you remember the pure feelings you once forgot.

PrimroseFLG4

Hatsukoi Flower / FLG4 feat. Flower

Some of you might relate to the fragility of romantic relationships.

This track by Vocaloid producer FLG4 was released in 2021.

It features a stylish, funky, and slightly mysterious sound arrangement that evokes the image of a city at night.

Combined with Flower’s cool, matter-of-fact vocals, it creates a very sophisticated world.

“Hatsukoisou” is the name of a real flower.

So if you compare the lyrics with the flower’s symbolic meanings… a story might start to emerge.

If you’re in the mood for a danceable song, give it a listen!
