* [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 Onon the Tin|doll]] who is left behind after her master is killed. She sings alone and hopes to go to where he has gone. She eventually falls apart and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|finds him in Heaven, claiming "I can smile now."]]
* [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 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 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 Be Happy|I Want My Beloved To Be Happy]] moment as she dies, thanking him for caring about her and telling him that even though she's gone, she wants him to continue to be happy and love again. {{spoiler|The end of the PV implies that Len is about to suffer the same fate, so she won't be without him for too long.}}
* [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 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.
{{quote| ''If my wish really does come true''<br />
''If my sins have really been forgiven''<br />
''I want the response to my letter''<br />
''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.}}
{{quote| ''In the first Spring... I met you with an innocent smile on your face,''<br />
''In the first Summer... You held me tightly in your arms,''<br />
''In the first Autumn... We swore to "stay together forever"''<br />
''In the first Winter... {{spoiler|Even though... We promised....}}'' <br />
''But in the third Summer... You stopped laughing,''<br />
''And in the third Autumn... You no longer held me in your arms,''<br />
''In the third Winter...you "belonged to someone else",''<br />
''So in the fourth Spring... I... {{spoiler|I killed you...}}'' }}
