Line 34:
** As with ''Hello, How Are You'', don't be surprised if it [[Truth in Television|strikes a few chords.]]
* ''The Hedgehog's Love'' is about [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy|leaving someone to keep from hurting them]], and convincing oneself that this really is for the best and will make them happy.
* In ''Ogre and Maid'', a blind woman gets lost in a forest and is saved by a terrifying ogre. Not realising that he's an ogre, she becomes his very first friend and makes him believe that humans aren't really that bad. But when he tries to visit her, [[Fantastic Racism|the villagers run him off]] and [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|threaten to kill him if he ever comes back]]. He gives up and goes back to being alone forever, and she [[I Will Wait for You|patiently waits for him to return]] until the day she dies.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnwTWh-09vk LOLA's English 'cover' of Double Lariat] is an ode to [[The Unfavourite]]'s desperate attempts to get someone to love her, set to [[Lyrical Dissonance|perky guitar riffs.]] It's not the most polished Vocaloid song you'll ever hear, but that just makes it even sadder.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbfBjZyVsJM Why Don't You Call Me Yet?] is about the singer wanting the person she is in love with to call her, while being too afraid that he has forgotten who she is to call him herself. In the end of one of the PVs, {{spoiler|Rin kneels on the floor, looking as if she has given up hope as the song ends. After a moment of silence, her phone goes off, to her disbelief. She answers it with a cheerful greeting, only for a final shot of her crying tears of joy to show up, leaving the viewer to assume that the man she loves has indeed called her.}}
Line 83:
* It's surprising that ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkh7xMZyY0s Time Forgotten One]'' by Kaito hasn't been listed yet. {{spoiler|It's about a statue doomed to spend his entire life waiting for his long-dead nakama.}}
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZxvPWLt_Fc&feature=channel_video_title The Heap Princess and Apostrophe] "What do you call it when there's not a soul to love you? No one will love me; I'm all alone." This is one heart-wrenching song because {{spoiler|it's about a girl left behind from a war between machines and humans. She thought she was the only person alive until she met a kind robot. "Don't look at me you'll make me cry so many tears", the reason why she says this is because the gentle robot reminds her of someone she used to love [possibly her brother] who died. The robot gets into a fight with other robots and it's implied in the end that both the girl and the robot died as you can see a shot of the crown the robot gave her.}} "No one has ever doomed with no one to love them. And for you...I was the one who loved you."
* [httphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-ojjyb5fnw Cinderella [[~another story]]~] is pretty touching as well. {{spoiler|It puts a tragic twist to the classic fairytale in that Cinderella (Rin) has been transformed into a white cat for not returning from the ball at midnight, rendering her forever separated with the prince (Len). This is sung as they both remember the instant they had together, fully aware of this fact.}}
* ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUzLciZiLVY Kept Waiting for a Response]'', the finale to ''Story of Evil''. And a touchingly beautiful finale it is.
