This is a heart-wrenching ballad that paints a poignant scene in a hospital room, the kind that makes your chest tighten.
It’s a track by Rakuen Shigai, a popular Vocaloid producer known for songs like “Rohypnol” and “Gloria,” released in 2020.

Blue rainy seasonJade Lotus
A nostalgic Vocaloid track with an impressive reverb-laden strings timbre.
Created by Vocaloid producer Suiren, it was released in 2021.
As the title suggests, the song is themed around the rainy season, and the sound alone makes you feel as if you can see a rain-soaked cityscape.
The occasional guitar phrases add a wonderful flavor as well.
Recommended for when you feel lonely being by yourself.
Be sure to pay attention to the pleasantly ear-catching choral work as you listen.
That girl who doesn’t listen to Japanese rock always sings about love.Haruna.
For fans of rock and music lovers alike, we recommend “That Girl Who Doesn’t Listen to J-Rock Always Sings of Love.” This is a fast-paced rock song created by Haruna using Utaai Yuki.
The lyrics portray a protagonist who tries to turn a romance—and eventual breakup—with someone who doesn’t listen to rock into a song.
The heartbreaking situation of creating a wonderful track that the person you love will never listen to is sure to seize your heart.
You can also feel the wistfulness in the slightly lowered vocal tone.
I'm glad I'm a ghost.40mP
This is a Vocaloid song that weaves a bittersweet yet warm feeling of watching over a loved one forever.
Composed by 40mP, it was released in February 2024.
The refreshing sound and the lyrics told from the perspective of a protagonist who has become a ghost create a striking contrast.
The desire to convey the word “love,” which couldn’t be expressed while alive, still now—this feeling is deeply moving.
Because they are a ghost, they can watch over and cheer from the very front row.
It’s a song that conveys unwavering love for someone precious.

“remains” by Neji-shiki was released in November 2024.

Please listen while letting your thoughts wander through the story.
Fiction BlueAyase
A song by Hatsune Miku blazing down the pop road, recommended even for listeners who don’t usually listen to VOCALOID.
The artist, Ayase, is a renowned Vocaloid producer who’s also gained popularity with tracks like “Last Resort.” The “blue” in the title “Fiction Blue” can be felt to carry nuances of youth and innocence.
The lyrics—about a beautiful romance and its end, yet my feelings remain just as they were back then—are truly tear-inducing.
Expressions like “Let’s meet at our secret place” hit way too hard for a heart sunk by heartbreak!
