** 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 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]].}}
