A lot of the OG vocaloid songs.. Darn music series songs...

A song about a couple who vowed to be together forever..

A song about an organ donor's thoughts.

Rest in peace, creator. This song is a metaphor, about a girl who keeps hurting herself AKA "rolling"

Sayoko is simply a song about wanting to die.

It's foolish to tell yourself "don't give up!" when in the end, we will all rot away.

My final favourite, a song about a creator who was the figurehead of his online community. When he finally made it big and was at the height of his popularity, he faced cyber bullying, where people claimed that his success was not due to his own skill, but hiding behind Hatsune Miku. This song is about a musician who went from the bottom to the top, and revealed that being at the top is no easy task through his song lyrics.

I really love how this song can resonate so specifically to being part of an online community, attaining fame, and then fame backfiring on you.

One day you became famous
You were idolized, and I also held my head up high
But one day, you also changed
You became coldhearted, but you seemed so lonely

Friends resent you, strangers are envious of you, but no one truly knows who you really are, because everyone was behind a screen, including yourself.

What I love the most is that, because it's sung by a synthesizer program, it's more poignant the lyrics so are human even though the singer is the furthest from human.
