This, which I found a few nights ago. I've never heard of this song before, and this is a piano rendition. One day I will listen to the original, though due to first impressions, I'll be taking a preference to this piano rendition.

It's not tear-jerking (for me, anyway), and it's a happy type of sad. For me it evokes feelings of nostalgia.

I can't help but notice that a lot of Vocaloid songs (and, come to think of it, Japanese songs) have some familiar aesthetic about them; some of the music sounds like they come from games I played when I was a kid. Vocaloid and music instruments used in the 16-bit era are worlds apart, but there's still some sense of familiarity about them. Maybe it's just me, though.
