Hits You Hard! A Compilation of Dark and Cool Vocaloid Tracks (51–60)
DARKER!DARKER!Sumia
A dark world woven from a heavy bass and razor-sharp synths.
Released in October 2024, Sumia’s track conjures darkness in the listener’s heart.
Fierce sound that fuses EDM and trap is layered with a noisy vocal, as if the inner conflicts buried deep within are speaking to you.
With “music of despair” as its theme, the lyrics leave a strong impression as they question both society and the self.
The worldview, depicted from an antiheroic perspective, hits hard with raw intensity.
Perfect for when you want to get pumped up or sharpen your focus.
With this one track, why not face the darkness within you?
VampireDECO*27
“I can’t forget that person.” This masterpiece overlays the thirst of love with a vampire’s thirst.
Released in March 2021 to coincide with Miku Day, the track ambitiously blends traditional rock sounds with elements of dance music.
Rockwell’s arrangement, who handled the composition, truly shines.
The lyrics strikingly portray a girl’s tumultuous feelings—unable to suppress her longing for the other, wanting to take, to monopolize, yet wondering if that desire is a sin.
With its catchy melody and up-tempo rhythm, it’s an irresistible number that makes you want to dance.
Forever, forever, forever.¿?shimon
This track hurls feelings of restless yearning for talent and self-denial over an intense sound.
Written by ¿?shimon for the empathy-driven drama content “We Are Up All Night,” the piece will be released in October 2025.
Its glitch-forward sound design expresses inner turmoil, while flower’s high vocal timbre lays bare the protagonist’s raging emotions.
If you’ve ever felt your efforts go unrewarded or found yourself feeling miserable in comparison to others, this is a song you need to hear.
Undercover.abaraya
It’s a Vocaloid track with a unique worldview.
Released by Abaraya in November 2024, it features an edgy soundscape woven by the vocals of Hatsune Miku and Gekiyaku.
The lyrics depict the desire for approval and inner contradictions, which may especially resonate with younger listeners.
Built on a rock foundation, the song is incredibly addictive.
It might be the perfect track for those who want to face the complex emotions hidden deep within their hearts.

EMBLEMUtsu P
The piercing, aggressive sound shakes your core.
Released by Utsu-P in July 2024, this work explores questions about society and the search for personal identity.
It portrays the proof that accompanies one’s way of life using the metaphor of an “emblem.” The intense guitar riffs and heavy drums further deepen the lyrical worldview, and GUMI’s powerful vocals leave a strong impression.
It’s a song I especially recommend to those who feel out of place in modern society or are struggling to find their sense of purpose.
Sleepy Hollowzensen × sibitto
This is a track themed around Halloween night, depicting a world where the hedonism and deception of a masquerade ball intersect.
Co-created by zensen and sibitto, it was released in October 2025.
The sound is fantastic—a fusion of bouncy, electro-swing flair with the heavy low-end of a UK bassline.
While showcasing KAITO’s rich mid-to-low range, it balances eeriness with splendor.
The lyrics, inspired by the Headless Horseman, wrap sharp black humor around the superficiality of human relationships.
Highly recommended when you want to hype up the vibe with stylish music or soak in the Halloween atmosphere!
“ryō” re te ″ hi | ka ″DADA
An addictive track crafted by dada.
This is the Vocaloid version of a song produced under the team name LATTE for VocaDuo 2025.
Its standout feature is a dark sound arrangement.
The lyrics depict a twisted, obsessive love that craves to keep the beloved close forever.
Motifs like dolls and lumps of flesh further heighten the eeriness.
If you want chills from the contrast of a grotesque theme or want to immerse yourself in a dark narrative, this track will undoubtedly pull you into its intense allure!
