A Chill Down Your Spine: A Collection of Scary-but-Irresistible Vocaloid Songs (61–70)
Puppet Playkisara
A creator who’s active not only as a Vocaloid producer but also as an illustrator, Kisara freely explores a wide range of online pop culture—and this track is one of their works.
From the very start, the timbre and melody stoke anxiety and fear, making it an outstanding number.
While the composition is catchy—with a somewhat classical-sounding melody and a fast-paced, driving chorus—it also weaves in unsettling elements, like deranged lyrics and laughter in the instrumental break.
You might say it’s a scary yet addictive song, full of clever twists hidden within its pop sheen.
open ittsumigusa
Released in November 2024, this work showcases Tsumigusa’s signature, madness-infused worldview.
The fear of being coaxed to “open the door,” the presence that tries to forcibly pry open a sealed heart… it sends chills down your spine.
The dynamically unfolding sound arrangement also matches the track’s atmosphere perfectly.
Once you’re hooked, there’s no escape—this is Tsumigusa’s world in full force.
Be sure to experience the horror with your own ears!
NEIDSumia
NEID, sung by Sumia, is a somewhat eerie song that uses Hatsune Miku.
It portrays ressentiment—the feelings of indignation and hatred that the weak may harbor toward the strong.
Everyone, at some point in life, feels envy or resentment toward the wealthy or the powerful.
Such emotions tend to be labeled negative in society, but instead of bottling them up, why not listen to this song and release a bit of that stress?
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.
Hide and seekInukai
This is a track where thrills intertwine with morbid madness.
Composed by the Vocaloid producer Inukai, it was released in January 2026 and is an entry for “Amai Con! 2025.” The piece conveys a chilling tension—no matter how you lie and hide, you can’t escape—and it sends shivers down your spine.
Its addictive mix of cuteness and fear will have you hitting repeat before you know it.
A must-listen for anyone seeking something stimulating and edgy!
refreshing and exhilaratingtsumigusa
If you’re looking for a spine-chilling track, this is the one.
“Sukatto Sōkai,” a song by Zamigusa, a Vocaloid producer known for dark aesthetics, was released in June 2024.
The title alone might suggest a bright, cheerful tune, but one listen will convey its downbeat worldview.
Why did the protagonist feel so refreshed? If you trace the works Zamigusa has created so far, you might uncover a hidden story.
With grand choral work adding depth to the piece, it’s a Vocaloid song that captivates both the ears and the eyes.
fox fox foxwaaku
I’d like to introduce “Kitsune Kitsune Kitsune” as a song with a Japanese-style, dark atmosphere.
It’s a work produced by the Vocaloid producer Wao.
From the perspective of a protagonist burdened with feelings of inferiority, it portrays the envy they feel toward people who seem to be happily spending time together.
Depending on whether you interpret the title “Kitsune Kitsune Kitsune” as referring to a mythical fox spirit or to a person with a fox-like personality, the song may sound different.
Another highlight is how it uses Hatsune Miku to express vocal techniques like shakuri (scooping) and kobushi (melismatic ornamentation).
