History TearJerker / Vocaloid

* ''*Hello, Planet'' is extremely depressing, despite the [[LyricalDissonance upbeat tone]].
** Its writer has also penned [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X223RoKsNCQ Campanella]], a slow, sweet song based off the equally TearJerker novel Milky Way Railroad (or Night on the Galactic Railroad, depending on your translation) during which Gumi invokes this trope, first with her attempts to express her feelings to her friend Campanella, even blasting off into space to search for him...but she knows he's dead. What makes it worse is that throughout the video, you see some flashbacks of her life with Campanella. Near the end, when the [[WhamLine wham line]] finally hits, you see an image of a young Gumi watching a crowd of people holding a small box; meaning that she was actually there AT HIS FUNERAL. Tears increased tenfold.
** And that same creator, [=SasakureP=], has recently come out with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7vF-hB55E4 The Week End is Coming!]] set in the same universe as ''* Hello, Planet'', shortly before the world ends, that has the same theme of trying to reach someone with your feelings too late. What is with this P and writing soul-crushingly depressing songs?...
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDeIgO06eo4 *Sayonara, World's End]] is a much more melancholy telling of the same story in *Hello, Planet. ''Goodbye... goodbye...''

** And the final song uploaded a couple of months after his death, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_MP5RNrLx0 Healthy End]]", makes it worse. The lyrics are already sad enough in one interpretation, but the MV really takes the cake; it shows an astronaut falling onto a planet and discovering a bright shiny object, and then in the end floating helplessly away into the depths of space. With both lyrics, MV, and context for the last couple of songs in his life, many have interpreted the astronaut to be Powapowa himself. And just in case it's not enough, the demo, dubbed [[https://youtu.be/xPb8goB4gtw The War Within Me]] makes it even sadder than it already is, as he was singing that very same song, but it's clear he sounds shaky while singing it, and taking in mind this is the demo for his ''last song'', it proves to be very heartbreaking.

* Music/{{hinayukki}}'s ''[[https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm6875060 Time Forgotten One]]'', sung by Kaito. It's about a statue doomed to spend his entire life waiting for his long-dead best friend.

** The second part to the story, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUApFg-dHuM&feature=related Cradle Of Destiny]], [[BittersweetEnding just makes it worse]]. [[GainaxEnding Maybe.]] It takes place a while after the wedding, the scene alternating between the girl crying alone in her room and Meiko on a cliff [[GrayRainOfDepression in the rain]] reflecting on their past and present lives, ending with Meiko [[SkywardScream collapsing to her knees screaming.]] The scene then switches to the girl being pulled along by her daughter, who happens to look like Meiko, to show her a painting she made that would seem to imply [[DrivenToSuicide that she is Meiko]]. While the girl is looking at her daughter's painting, she runs off and is picked up by [[MindScrew someone who looks like Meiko, but goes completely unnoticed much like the man Meiko was did when comforting her.]] With the vague ending and the husband's absence from everything except the flashbacks, this does leave the ending able to be interpreted [[EarnYourHappyEnding in a happier]] [[HasTwoMommies light however]].

* PinocchioP has some notable examples:

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpaDuAVRLro This song]] is mostly a FunnyMoment, but there is some sadness in Miku's lament that NotGrowingUpSucks.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqTq1P6y70Q "Human Songs"]], the debut song of Music/PorterRobinson's Vocaloid, Po-uta. It starts off heartwarming, with Po-uta promising Porter that he'll always carry on his legacy even long after he's gone. [[MoodWhiplash Then,]] it slips into existential heartbreak when there's an implied timeskip... to two hundred years into the future, where Porter ''is'' gone (implicitly along with [[AfterTheEnd at least most of humanity]]) and Po-uta -- [[WhoWantsToLiveForever who can't die]] -- is left mourning for his creator, even ''apologizing'' for being made from him.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnosPmmmOZM "AuLelia"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac2vKI9ut_0 "AuRelia]] are songs about an [[DestructiveRomance abusive relationship]] between [[QueerRomance two girls]]. The blonde, whose side of the story is depicted in AuLelia has deep regret for how she treated her girlfriend, who is depressed, and is implied to have some [[TroubledAbuser massive issues herself]]. The brunette, whose story is depicted in AuRelia is suffering due to her own depression as well as how her girlfriend treats her.

* Pinocchio-P's [[https://youtu.be/WOJlJd0nAMI Lonely UFO]] is about someone who loves outer space and believes she saw a UFO. Upon trying to tell people about her sighting, it's revealed that it was little more than a hallucination and that the connection she feels to outer space is just a result of her psychosis, which she's currently being hospitalized for. Having been enamored for so long with space, she feels that finding a new interest will help her heal from her delusions and depression, but she can't find it in herself to break her interest in outer space because it's had such a profound effect on her.

* As catchy as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQoeuGNJfAg "Bad Girl A"]] by Mitchie M sounds, MoodDissonance is in full force as it tells the story of Miku's crappy life with an abusive dad, getting rescued by Luka and joining her gang, leading up to her GameOfChicken against Rin. Before the race, Luka gifts her a knife to defend herself with and a motorcycle, only for Miku to use the knife to murder her dad for attempting to drag her back to her shitty home, with the chicken race ending with Miku driving herself off the cliff to go out in a blaze of glory.

** For the GrandFinale of the ''soundless voice'' series we get "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBk1CJYzktA endless wedge]]". In the years after Rin's death, Len remembers the days he used to spent with Rin, how she gave him happiness, and how she smiled for him. While he's happy he was able to spend the time he had with her, he's sad he can't have a future with her. In lonely nights, Len remembered Rin's helpless voice, crying. After singing Rin's song "I do not want to sing a sad song" ([[CallBack the lyrics from "proof of life"]]), he remembered her voice, it was still there. The song ends with him saying that he will always love Rin. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments D'aww!]]

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UfytTsLpFM Gackpo's slow version]] is just as sad. Unlike most other versions of the song, Gackpo sounds so...[[FaceDeathWithDignity accepting]] of his impending death.

* Natsushiro Takaaki's "Near" is a series of conversations from an ailing programmer and the android girl he lives with. He ruminates on the meaning of life, sometimes asks for Near's opinion on things, and all the while struggles to keep up with his medicine until he asks one final question on his deathbed. Poor Near is left tearfully singing about how much she loves her master as he takes his last breath. The PV makes this worse; there is a counter for each question and answer the pair exchanged, and how much time it took between each sentence. When the master dies, her Q/A log finishes with one less response from the master and the day counter gets slower and slower as we watch Near cry, contrast to the days flying by as she takes and gives answers.
** While the original song uses Hatsune Miku, one of the more notable covers (by cillia) uses Fukase in the place of the scientist and Otomachi Una in the place of Near. Both synthesizers give a lot of warmth to the lyrics, and as the scientist lay dying the cillia version makes it sound like Fukase's giving one more passionate internal monologue while Una sounds like she's doing everything in her power to convey her affection for her master.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HExTDn9QmRE Rachie and Ill.bell's cover]] hurts even more. They both manage to convey in singing in rapping how deeply the girls are hurting. The emotions conveyed is arguably even more distressing.

* For another Mikito-P one, "Shoujo Rei" tells the story of a girl mourning after of her best friend's suicide, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone which she feels she directly contributed to.]] To make it worse, the sound effect end of the song heavily implies the narrator girl was so struck with guilt she killed herself in the same manner, by jumping in front of a train. And all this to [[LyricsDissonance refreshing, summery music]].

* First, listen to ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoPzP-MwcLI&feature=related Just Be Friends]]''. Then, watch the PV. Then, read the lyrics.
* This relatively new and cute song by the new and cute vocaloid, IA: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMWn6wBhaEA Imagination Forest.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZmPCeyqPaw Imitator by Len]] The whole thing is somewhat depressing but the fact that he won't give up hope clinches it as a Tear Jerker.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVctZlkTCXA Alice by FULLKAWA P. Hatsune Miku.]] And then there's the English version and acoustic cover version...[[http://tubedubber.com/#y5BfnlzSGFM:OJFBa0up5iY:0:100:0:0:true Tearjerker, ENE's version.]] [[http://tubedubber.com/#y5BfnlzSGFM:H6o-SsJcIfs:0:100:0:0:true The previously mentioned English dub.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH2SsHwiIqM +REVERSE]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul4c4-sotFI -ERROR]] by Lily. In +REVERSE, Lily realizes she's fading away, and says, "Even in the flow of time, it seems I can't go against it...When I first realized it by being loved..." In -ERROR, Lily is still dying, and she realizes this, too. She says goodbye to her friends and master...and eventually gets mad because it feels like her master doesn't care. It ends with her saying, "But I still want to breath...Just like the end of the dream I showed you, even works are stuck, ERROR."

* samfree, real name Sano Takayuki, who brought us the Night series (e.g., Luka Luka Night Fever) and Promise, passed away on September 24, 2015, at the age of 31. He will be missed.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPjU_BjnbdU Ikanaide(Don't Go) by Yaai Yuki]] is a relatable and heartbreaking song about having to part with a friend or a loved one, and hits home for people who have seen their best friend/relative move away from them, never to be seen again, or even worse - pass away. Some parts of the lyrics are sadder than others ("I shouldn't cry, I shouldn't cry") and really express the singer's feelings and sadness - how they don't want the relative/friend to leave them and beg for them to stay just a little more.

* wowaka, known for songs such as "World's End Dancehall", "Two-Faced Lovers", and "Rolling Girl", passed away from acute heart failure on April 5, 2019. Some see his passing as the EndOfAnAge, as his music has made an enormous impact on Vocaloid's community for the majority of the decade. May he rest in peace.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y808S-awM2E "Tengoku he Ikuo"/"Let's Go To Heaven"]] by Kikuo is a very bittersweet song about a couple who commit suicide together so they can be happy in the afterlife. The lyrics describe the body disappearing, as well as how happy it is to be together in heaven, just the two of them.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X--s0TRhKdY 15 Years Pursuing a Cute Boy]] is about a girl who writes poems to the one she likes for 15 years. Still awaiting a response, she keeps writing even after sustaining severe retrograde amnesia, remembering nothing but her love for the boy. Her memories come back and she remembers that he's been dead for 15 years.
