Which Songs Feature Empty Sekai Miku As A Character?

That phrase pops up in fan tags a lot, and I’ve spent a fair bit of time chasing down what people mean by ‘empty sekai miku’ — it usually falls into two flavors: a literal costume/visual variant used in fan art and Project songs, or a thematic description for tracks where Hatsune Miku is placed in a hollow, desolate world. If you’re looking for songs that actually fit the latter mood (Miku singing in empty spaces, loneliness, disappearance), the ones that immediately stand out to me are 'The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku' by cosMo@BousouP, 'Rolling Girl' by wowaka, 'Ghost Rule' by DECO*27, and 'Odds & Ends' by ryo. Each of these has PVs or fan visuals that often portray Miku isolated in urban ruins, empty rooms, or surreal voids — that’s where the whole 'empty sekai' vibe comes from.

Beyond those originals, there’s a whole ecosystem of remixes, instrumental versions, and fan-made PVs that explicitly tag the character art as 'empty' or 'sekai' (check tags like '空っぽ', '虚無', or 'empty' on Pixiv and NicoNico). Project-related rhythm games and community covers sometimes repurpose Miku’s visuals into more minimalist, empty-world aesthetics too, so you’ll see the same songs reinterpreted with that character styling.

If you want a compact listening list to get that 'empty sekai' feeling with Miku as the focal character, start with the four I mentioned and then dive into covers and PV remixes on NicoNico/YouTube — the fan visuals are half the point, and they’re where the 'empty sekai miku' label really sticks in the wild. Those tracks always give me a bittersweet shiver.

Short and to the point: when people say 'empty sekai miku' they usually mean Miku presented in a vacant, lonely world — my go-to listening for that mood are 'The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku', 'Rolling Girl', 'Ghost Rule', and 'Odds & Ends'. Those songs (and their many fan PVs and covers) repeatedly place Miku in empty rooms, ruined streets, or surreal voids, which is exactly the vibe the tag captures. If you enjoy melancholic vocaloid storytelling, the visuals that accompany these tracks are as important as the music — they’re the pieces that really cement the 'empty sekai' characterization for me.

I dug through VocaDB tags and community playlists the other day and noticed fans often label tracks that depict Hatsune Miku as isolated or hollow as featuring 'empty sekai miku'. From a more catalog-focused perspective, the safest canonical tracks to point at are 'The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku' (cosMo@BousouP) and 'Rolling Girl' (wowaka). Both have official or well-known PVs that portray an absent or fractured world around Miku, which is probably why they’re frequently associated with that tag.

A slightly more modern addition that fits the aura is 'Ghost Rule' by DECO*27 — the lyrics and visuals in many interpretations put Miku in a kind of empty emotional landscape. 'Odds & Ends' by ryo also gets pulled into that group because of the themes of farewell and drifting apart. If your interest is archival or research-oriented, cross-referencing NicoNico, VocaDB, and Pixiv with search terms like 'empty', 'sekai', and Japanese equivalents will return both original tracks and the countless remixes/PVs that explicitly use an 'empty' Miku character model. Personally I love how these songs get reimagined visually; the minimal, lonely renderings of Miku in those fan works are some of the most haunting in the community.
