Line 19:
** The second part to the story, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUApFg-dHuM&feature=related Cradle Of Destiny], [[Bittersweet Ending|just makes it worse]]. [[Gainax Ending|Maybe.]] {{spoiler|It takes place a while after the wedding, the scene alternating between the girl crying alone in her room and Meiko on a cliff [[Gray Rain of Depression|in the rain]] reflecting on their past and present lives, ending with Meiko [[Skyward Scream|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 [[Driven to Suicide|that she is Meiko]]. While the girl is looking at her daughter's painting, she runs off and is picked up by [[Mind Screw|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 [[Earn Your Happy Ending|in a happier]] [[Has Two Mommies|light however]].}}
* ''* Hello, Planet'' is extremely depressing, despite the [[Lyrical Dissonance|upbeat tone]].
** Its writer has also penned [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X223RoKsNCQ Campanella], a slow, sweet song based off the equally [[Tear Jerker]] 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 [[Wham! Line|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, [[Sasakure P]], has recently come out with [http://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?...
** [http://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...''
Line 25:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GR5WV87tsk Can't I Even Dream?] by Hatsune Miku.
* You think Servant of Evil is sad? Try [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csUVG6NrrTA&feature=related the Classical version.] And after you're done crying, listen to the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSZeKWRFyFg&feature=youtu.be Nico Nico Chorus Classical version.] * sniff*
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DelhT94I1w0&playnext_from=TL&videos=4-J0Cuty3mw Dolls] by Kagamine Rin. Rin is a [[Exactly What It Says
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bFGDgnF5GY&feature=related Red Swamp Bottom]. Miku is singing about being tortured in hell. To understand why anyone would nearly cry over it, see the rest of the Dark Woods Forest series and try not be at least sad over it.
** Hell, Dark Woods Circus is mostly horror, but it's pretty tear-jerking by itself. For some people. Especially 2:30 onward. ''"It's fun!"''
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
* [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 42:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt5OdPmVfFA Secret Crush] by Rin is about a girl that loves a boy and cannot ever tell him how she feels because he may be involved with another woman.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIwpPMNw07I Mukashi Mukashi No Kyou No Boku, or "Once Upon A Me"] is more of a happy tears kind of song, but it might hit too close to home.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7QxAnAZSrg 69] by Rin and Len. Rin is some form of doll that has lived for 69 years and is beginning to break down and die. Len realizes she is going to be gone soon and tells her that she's still beautiful even though she's falling apart and they both express their love for one another as the song goes on. Rin has an [[I Want My Beloved to
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvMCU9_Z-II Alluring Secret~White Vow], Miku's response song to Alluring Secret~Black Vow, is utterly heartbreaking. {{spoiler|''"I can take this black dress off someday..."''}} *Sniff*
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl_QbG5RTPg This song, eight hundred, by Hatsune Miku] talks about [[Sweet Dreams Fuel|6.5 billion dreams coming true and World Peace]]... {{spoiler|Until you fully listen to the song...}}
Line 63:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etN9xyIHGxA Miku and Mikuo's "Hikari/Light"]. Basically think a cross between ''Kokoro'' and ''The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku''. [[The Woobie|Yeah]], [[Pygmalion Plot|it's]] [[Please Don't Leave Me|just]] [[Love Hurts|like]] [[Tear Jerker|that]].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zig88-lcxVg I want to meet you] by Gumi is also one.
* Miku's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpAEofkVaMs Fifteen Years Pursuing A Cute Boy] starts out as a nice song about a more than slightly obsessed girl sending a boy poems, and becoming something of a literary genius because of her practice. Cue the [[Wham! Line]].
** Ditto for [[VY 2]]'s cover by the same artist, now with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDIQ2Ypxv7Y a PV].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akVA6q7tRNA This version of Pierrot] never fails to make this troper cry. {{spoiler|The kind clown who did all he could to try and make the girl he cared for happy presumably dies, though there is a happier interpretation: His saying that the "lying Pierrot has now vanished" may only refer to the side of him that lied all the time and wore the mask. The last picture in the PV suggests that he may still be [[Heartwarming Moments|alive and happy with his friend]].}}
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."
* [
* ''[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.
{{quote|
''If my sins have really been forgiven''
''I want the response to my letter''
''And will keep waiting for it'' }}
* How have we not mentioned [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u__ZMJplaPg oFFENCe] yet? {{spoiler|The whole song is about Miku's regret and guilt after she killed her lover in a fit of jealous rage- describing how she still feels his presence and how she can never forget the moment she murdered him. And to top it off, the final verse implies she kills herself too.}}
