Hey, LMWF! Long time no see! 
This is for the vocaloid fans, I guess. Or rather, the vocalost fans.
So, some background information if you didn't know:
Dr. Willy, who also went by Willy_Laboratory, drwilly2009, etc. was a Vocaloid producer who was active from 2008-2010. He made songs with the Vocaloid program, mainly using Megurine Luka, and only used Miku a couple of times. His first work was a Megaman (hence his username, obvious megaman fan) remix of "Wave Man Stage."
His final song is called Freesia, and is his most popular well-known work in the Vocalost community. It's known this was his final song before retiring/graduating from being a Vocaloid artist. This song is lost, with only around 30 seconds being found from Vocaranks. Sometime after this, he wiped everything. His blog, email, YouTube channel, NicoNico, EVERYTHING. Gone overnight. I'm not sure why he did this, but I theorize he just wanted to move on and start fresh.
Despite how early he wiped his songs, a good chunk have been recovered, with one partially recovered. The found songs are as follows:
東の空は燃えている (Higashi no Sora wa Moeteiru)(The Eastern Sky is Burning)
豊饒レッド (Houjoh Red)
正体不明 (Shoutai Fumei)(Unidentified)
三枚目のテーマ (Sanmaime no Theme)(Comedian's Theme)
タイムマシン (Time Machine)
亜空間255 (Akuukan 255)(Subspace 255)
まるで瑣末なゴミのよう (Marude Samatsuna Gomi no You)(Just Like Trivial Garbage)
The song High Light Desire has only been partially found, having been used in a gameplay video regarding a fanmade RPG game. link
It's important to note that three of his songs, Iris, Defective Blue, and Siren were reprinted on YouTube at some point before 2020. Unfortunately, the channel who uploaded them has been terminated, I couldn't find a specific reason why. (if I had to guess, copyright strikes.)
Honestly, from listening to the songs that have been found, I really enjoy Willy's style. It's kinda a shame he was obscure and relatively not extremely popular back then. His songs were experimental, and just have this nostalgic feel to them. It's upsetting so many of his songs are just lost now.
Is there a chance at anymore being found? Maybe. Subspace and Trivial Garbage were found THIS YEAR, because a fan had the audios. And Siren, Iris, Defective Blue all had YouTube reprints at some point, anyone could've liked them enough to download them somewhere.
So, you're all free to help me search for more songs. Any effort helps. And to the older Vocaloid crowd reading this, if you potentially downloaded some songs back in the day, PLEASE SEARCH THROUGH THEM!! You might find Willy songs, or any other lost song!
I have uploaded all the found songs so far on my Youtube channel, if you want to take a listen. (my channel) I also stored the songs on a flash drive, so they're safe.
Again, if anyone would like to help or has found additional info, please let me know. Anything helps.
