SHOUJO REI

"THE gay vocaloid song, sorry"

"very summer romance, bittersweet, soothing song"

"The ultimate toxic yuri ballad. A bright, sweet song that sounds like summer. Getting hit by a train never sounded so good."

"THE doomed yuri song"

"youve probably already gotten this one sorry but DOOMED TOXIC YURI!!!! YEAHHHHHH"

VILLAIN

"it resonated w me (a trans masculine person) so much that i cried the first time i looked at the lyrics. i love it sm"

"this HAS to be here. Please. Please . Please"

"oooooooooo transgender beam"

"Transgenderism"

"THE TRANS SONG (approved by Mizuki Akiyama)"

"So iconic they made a manga after it. Talks about gender dysphoria"

"It is THE trans song. General summary it’s about someone who was born a girl, wants to kinda be a guy ish, but also doesn’t want to be entirely masculine and still wants some femininity. Queer stuff right there."

SHAMA

"extremely potent yearning, the powerful dynamic of safety in disguise but a dangerous freedom in truth, beautiful characters…what more can you ask for?"

"if i am being completely honest i dont actually get everything that happened in shama - that can be left to all the other people who are more knowledgeable about nilfruits songs than me and immediately thought of submitting this - but I immediately thought of this song because its so SO good. the song itself is incredible and the mv adds on to make it an even greater work!! i might not know all of shama's story, but what i do know is that shama's a fantastic song regardless and i'll go crazy whenever i hear it. and i also do know that clay and kalmia (especially clay) are some great lgbtq+ rep in a vocaloid song!!! the section from 2:00-2:36, when accompanied by the mv, is maybe one of my favorite moments in any vocaloid song. what follows is also great! as propaganda i am begging the reader to go listen to shama with the mv if they haven't. i don't want to explain it because i don't entirely know how to but they're fucking gay and i really like how the mv shows this!"

"sapphic 👍👍"

"Okay so this one is kinda hard to explain but the MV is some flavour of queer for sure. Just… watch it and you'll get what I mean"

"a femme-fatale prisoner and one of her guards have a doomed romance..! the mv is by wooma, who uses a graphic colour palette to complement nilfruits's addictive guitar melody. this song is also the first in a series, so if you're interested in the prisoner's backstory, you can watch the other works to find out more :-)"

ZERO TALKING

"tbf most harugoha songs are so #yuri but this one has an actual kiss. royalty x maid childhood friends who have drifted apart over the years and the royal lady (unsure of her english title, in japanese shes just named daireijo) desperately wants to just Talk to her dearest maid dorothy again but can't get anywhere with it (hence the title). In the final chorus of the MV she has enough and kisses dorothy on the lips. They're referred to as "sisters" sometimes but this is a reference to the classic catholic school yuri trope where an older girl will take in a younger one as a "younger sister" and they have a sort of romantic friendship going on. They're like definitely not actually sisters it would make no sense. It's such a good song. the bass in it is really good. please listen to harumaki gohan"

"despite the sister term scare that happened when the mv first came out this mv is about a princess and her maid who used to be friends and i believe grew apart and the princess is trying to reconnect with her friend. also first harumaki gohan mv kiss iirc!! the song is also just a brainworm in general i looped it so much it was stuck in my head for months"

"The song is about a girl who has a strained relationship with another girl, and who wishes for things to go back to the way they were (the maid doesn't talk to her anymore). The use of "sister" is also not literal, instead being a term found in yuri to describe a relationship between women (often shorten to S/esu), as well as the comparison between the two girls and the story of orihime and hikoboshi, as well as the fact they literally kiss in the song. I don't know if you can really deny it with that."

"this was in my head for weeks and weeks after it released!! the mv really makes it, the surprise near the end is so cool"

"😳"

"ZERO TALKING TALKING TALKING .Harumakigohan is the king of vocaloid yuri rn but oh my god first on-screen kiss in his songs!!! For a cute song about a princess trying to win back the affection of her childhood friend now employed as a head maid at her castle. just listen to the beat and tell me u are not enthralled. the lil "pop" noise in the song when they smooch is adorable. the song is so catchy it's ridculous i just hit that shit on loop."

Lie

I (愛)

Voting ended onMay 22, 2024

Lie by CircusP feat. Megurine Luka

VS

I (愛) by CircusP feat. GUMI

Propaganda under the cut!

LIE

"Unironically sacred texts. Where were you when you first heard this song? At first you don't see it coming but then it hits you. The build-up of denial cracking at the climax of the song is beautiful, pretending it was just a joke and that her feelings weren't real. It's bitter with no sweetness."

I (愛)

"The sequel to "Lie" that ties the story together - a bit of drama, a story about two girls who want each other though one of them refuses to admit her sexuality. And a cool sounding Gumi"

"Follow-up to "Lie" by the same producer. The other perspective of the story, making their romance even more heartbreaking in how they've been torn apart by outside forces / homophobia, and the lyrics really resonate with that."

GOD MISTOOK MY GENDER

(No propaganda was submitted for this song)

PIERCING THE VISCERA

"IT'S SO GOOD THEIR VOICES GO SO WELL TOGETHER EMO LESBIANS IN AN ADAM AND EVE-ESQUE STORY FINDING SOLACE AND REFUGE IN THE LOVE THEY HAVE FOR EACH OTHER IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!!!

"The song is like a post-apocalyptic lesbian version of the story of Adam and Eve!! It's so beautiful and slave.v-v-r's tuning makes them feel desperate and sentimental. It doesn't get nearly as much recognition as it deserves, only having under 100k views."

"Oh this song. It’s very gay. The best way I can describe it is if Adam and Eve were sapphic and got cast out for being together but they ended up finding their own paradise on earth instead. The lyrics are also overtly saying this is a love story: “I want to secure it with a needle, so this love won’t fall”; ”With our viscera, with all our bodies, we were in love”; “The nameless sin doubted our love, the pouring rain wetted our love, yet we were still alive”."

"It's about emo lesbians declaring their undying devotion to each other as they find sanctuary in their love even if the world falls apart around them. Also it fucking bops"

"emo lesbians…., or something"

LET'S BE HONEST

"LUKA RAP. LETS BE HONEST = LES BI AN S"

"This is one of my favorite queer vocaloid songs ever with verses in both Japanese & English, with a super catchy melody and a rap in which Luka manages to rhyme promises with gynecologist. It's insane I love it and we always need more Miku x Luka songs imo"

"Let’s Be Honest => Les Bi An S!!! And let’s be honest; you literally can’t go wrong with Miku/Luka."

"um. lesbihonest hahahahaahaha"

""Let's Be Honest….Les Bi An S" "Your so Tsundere OMG!" Honestly both of the rap parts are iconic in the stupidest of ways."

""if it's you I guess I could be gay" is so funny"

ALLURING SECRET ~BLACK VOW~

"Gay and trans angel, what more do you want"

"Another Og Yuri Classic!!! Does Stuff To Girl Kissers Like Me!!! 😋"

"Lesbian angel rips off her own wings and changes her identity to be with the girl she loves. Do I really need to say more?"

"If you listened to this back when you were a tween you're gay now sorry i don't make the rules x"

ALICE IN N.Y.

"What better allegory for gender presentation is there than a story about fashion? Playing around with clothes and how your personal fashion can express your personality (especially if you're doing it in a non-normative way) is such a queer experience. Also it's pretty damn obvious how queer it is with the reveal at the end. It makes my genderfluid heart happy!"
