Hits you hard! A collection of dark and cool Vocaloid tracks (21–30)
182.¿?
It’s a hardcore Vocaloid track that comes crashing in with heavy sound pressure.
Created by shimon (aka ¿?), it was released in July 2024.
The title “182.” is slang for “I hate you,” meaning “I really hate you.” The lyrics vent frustrations about society and one’s way of life, yet still bristle with the resolve that “there’s no choice but to do it.” That gritty sentiment pairs perfectly with the avant-garde sound arrangement.
Dobermannwotaku
This is a dark, thrilling track whose heavy, resonant vocals by Kamui Gakupo stir up a sense of urgency.
Composed by wotaku and released in July 2025, it was produced for the compilation album “MONO ARK.” The lyrics depict a decadent society and a corrupt police officer extorting bribes from criminals.
Many listeners will likely be drawn to the protagonist’s character, who does whatever he pleases under the conviction that “I alone am justice.” Sharing a kinship with “Shanti,” this music is something you should experience for yourself.

Lindenbaumwotaku, dopamine, front line
A collaborative work by three talented Vocaloid producers—wotaku, Dopamine, and zensen—released in June 2025.
Centered on zensen’s signature electro swing, wotaku’s woven melodies and Dopamine’s masterful arrangement intertwine exquisitely, resulting in an incredibly stylish sound.
Hanakuma Chifuyu’s transparent, airy vocals suit the atmosphere perfectly—absolutely irresistible.
The dark fantasy world of the lyrics is another key attraction.
If you want the audio, be sure to check out the compilation album “Candy Butler”!
Paranormal Experiencenakiso
A dark, thrilling Vocaloid track that bottles up that raw “something’s off” feeling into music.
It’s a song by Nakiso, released in October 2025.
Instinct warns of danger, yet curiosity makes you peek anyway.
Those conflicting emotions are scattered throughout the lyrics.
There’s plenty to enjoy, from the tight beat to the writhing basslines.
The tension created by the push and pull of the sounds captures the chills of encountering the supernatural.
Try listening with earphones late at night—you’ll feel a shiver down your spine!
Siri Tellerr-906
It’s an unsettling yet sprightly electronic number.
Created by Vocaloid producer r-906, it was released in December 2025.
Produced as the official demo song for the VOCALOID6 voice bank “IA :[R],” the track stands out for its rhythmic sound design that makes full use of IA’s clear enunciation and quick attack.
The lyrics depict a psyche desperately trying to ignore encroaching fear, heightening the tension to gripping effect.
Give it a listen when you’re in the mood for a thrill.
Invitation from the Count of TwilightHyōzan Kiyoteru
This is a work produced by mothy featuring Kiyoteru Hiyama on vocals.
It portrays a narrative in which a delightful party hosted by a mysterious count transforms into a frenzy of tragedy.
Kiyoteru Hiyama’s signature blend of rich, gentle low notes and flowing high notes brilliantly captures the count’s enigmatic character.
In addition, the dark-pop sound with a classical atmosphere instantly draws listeners into its unique world.
HowlerFushi
A track where a dark atmosphere pairs perfectly with a catchy melody.
Released in March 2024 by Vocaloid producer Fushi, it features a striking, hard-hitting sound that’s truly compelling.
Introspective lyrics and crisp guitar cutting mesh exquisitely, brilliantly conveying the complexity of human emotions.
If you’re looking to face yourself, this might be the song to put on.
