Ethereal SummerOdd
A bittersweet Vocaloid song that overlays unrequited love with summer scenery.
It’s a track by the music project Odd, which launched in 2024, and was released in August of the same year.
The lyrics’ worldview, comparing fleeting feelings of love to bubbles, really hits home.
Another draw is the soundscape, where band elements and electronic tracks blend exquisitely.
On Nico Nico Douga you can enjoy a solo version by Hatsune Miku, while on YouTube there’s a duet version featuring nachi.
Mika KakuYugika
An emotional Vocaloid summer song by Yugika.
“Meikakyaku” is a piece released in July 2024, packed with the nostalgia and loneliness felt at summer’s end.
Its avant-garde dance-music sound pairs perfectly with Mikoto Narinaka’s gritty, noisy tuning.
The lyrics’ worldview, centered on the pursuit of “love,” also hits hard.
For those who think of Yugika as an artist who makes dark music, this track might come as a bit of a surprise.

“Shuka” is a song by Vocaloid producer uul, released in July 2021.
Its emotional guitar riffs and languid rock sound are deeply stirring.

I hate summer.Asai Umi
A piercing piano rock song that portrays the complex emotions of summer.
It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Asai Umi, released in August 2019, and included on the first mini-album “It Was a Boring Life.” The lyrical world, with its story-like line—“I hate summer because it inevitably makes me remember someone precious who’s gone”—really hits home.
The fast-paced arrangement seems to embody the feelings that overflow.
I think it especially resonates when you listen to it in summer, when you’re tormented by loneliness.
In August, reckoning with the mistakes we madeLeisia
It’s a song that pierces the heart with the wistfulness of summer’s end and the longing for something precious that’s been lost.
Created by Reishia and released in August 2024, it uses the whispery voice of the UTAU voicebank KAZEHIKI to delicately portray the mindset of a protagonist burdened by past mistakes and regrets.
The lyrics capture the blinding brightness felt in sweltering heat and the complexity of youth struggling with the gap between ideals and reality, resonating with each listener’s own summer memories.
The sound arrangement, infused with elements of electronica, is another compelling draw.
Why not give it a listen when summer loneliness washes over you?
