Melancholic Vocaloid songs: masterpieces that pierce the heart

Teacher, is it okay?rain clouds

Teacher, is it okay? / feat. KAFU

It’s a highly sensitive piece where a frayed, rough-edged heart is poured straight into the lyrics.

Created by the Vocaloid producer Amegumo—also known for tracks like “XXXXXX” and “Star Chaser”—it was released in 2022 as an entry for BOCALOID Collection 2022 Spring.

With a laid-back, band-like tempo, its lo-fi sound design leaves a strong impression.

Despite the relaxed sonic texture, it stirs up a restless feeling as you listen.

The upward lilt at the ends of phrases and the lyrical worldview are likely part of the reason why.

This lo-fi sound is best enjoyed with headphones or earphones.

It’s a track by Denpol-P, also known under the name Koyori, released in 2021.

The swaying singing voice of KAFU matches the chill, atmospheric soundscape, building a world that makes you want to say, “This is quintessential Denpol-P.” It might sound odd to call it unexpected, but if you listen closely, the guitar is actually quite intense.

I feel like that’s where the emotional punch is packed in.

Try listening while savoring each and every word of the lyrics.

hatsune miku – sign

Mr.

O.

ken, who also works as a musician under another name, wrote and composed this song.

In his words, it’s “a poignant rock piece about Miku, who has lost her master.” It’s a rock ballad where Hatsune Miku’s softly weeping voice resonates beautifully.

The songwriter and composer is Ura no Mambo ga Shinderu-P.

The lyrics are fresh, original, and uniquely stylish, and the final twist will bring tears to your eyes.

The exhilarating sound and emotionally catchy melody are also must-hears.

Because VOCALOID is a machine, its voice inevitably sounds somewhat mechanical.

However, Miku’s singing in this song has a very natural tone, and especially at the beginning, it’s so convincing that you might believe it’s a human singing.

Bathtub and neon tetra / flower

There’s a kind of heartache that exists precisely because you care, isn’t there? This is a song by REISAI, a music unit formed by Aizen Sakana and Yopi, released in 2021.

It’s a stylish Vocaloid track built around a four-on-the-floor rhythm.

The noisy timbre of flower’s vocals is striking, and it feels like the protagonist’s emotions ride along with the arrangement.

The bass and guitar phrases in the interlude that stray far from the rhythm are really cool.

If you’re in the mood for high-sense, sophisticated music, don’t miss this one!
