Hits you hard! A collection of dark and cool Vocaloid tracks (21–30)
The 49th dayNashimoto Ui
You might get chills from the ominous atmosphere of this rock sound.
With lyrics that feel like they’re looking down on the living world from the afterlife and a gritty guitar tone, this piece stands out as a work by Nashimoto Ui, who is active not only as a Vocaloid producer but also as a band musician.
It was used as the ending theme for season 2 of the TV anime Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories.
The track heightens the sense of fear within the anime, and Hatsune Miku’s husky vocals match the eerie aftertaste of the story.
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.

WareiYugika
This Vocaloid track captivates the heart with its noisy vocals and heavy, hard-hitting bass, offering a dark aesthetic that’s truly compelling.
Created by Vocaloid producer Yugika, it was released in November 2025.
The lyrics depict thorny love, loneliness, and a tangle of complex emotions, resulting in something as beautiful as it is perilous—like a rose.
The sound arrangement, infused with hardcore techno elements, is incredibly cool.
The lyrics vividly portray the protagonist’s emotions swaying between self-loathing and love-hate.
It’s a downer-tinged, electrifying tune!
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.
Chiso-sama¿?
“Chisosa” by ¿? koto shimon, released on May 25, 2024, is a downer-style electronic dance tune.
It’s a collaboration with Sanrio’s mixed-media project “Mai Mai Maigoen,” created with the character Daigorou as its motif.
Despite its rhythmic drive, the track surges in with heavy sound, noisy vocal work, and deranged lyrics all fused together.
It’s a highly horror-tinged Vocaloid song that sends chills through your ears and down your back.
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.
Rapid TuneDIVELA
An emotional rock tune that sweeps you away with a breathless sense of speed.
Created by the Vocaloid producer DIVELA, known for works like “Vocalo Colosseum,” it was released in August 2025.
The intense sound pairs perfectly with Miku’s dignified vocals.
The lyrics convey the protagonist’s strong resolve to sprint toward the light despite inner turmoil.
