A Chill Down Your Spine: A Collection of Scary but Irresistible Vocaloid Songs (71–80)
There’s Something About MaryLadyMonsters.
This song is inspired by the urban legend “Mary-san” and told from the perspective of an abandoned doll.
It’s a track that showcases LadyMonsters.’ unique worldview, highlighted by v flower’s husky vocals.
The lyrics depict the doll’s obsession with and madness toward its owner, leaving a strong impression on listeners.
It’s recommended not only for fans of spooky themes, but also for those who enjoy story-driven music.
Listening in the stillness of night will draw you even deeper into its world.
Perfect Crime Masterclass, Part Three — The Eight Graves Arcjorujin
Turning a mystery masterpiece into a Vocaloid song! Released in May 2025, this is the third installment in Jorujin’s “I Will Teach You the Perfect Crime” series.
It’s a dark suspense track inspired by Seishi Yokomizo’s classic The Village of Eight Gravestones, featuring an impressive multilayered narrative that replaces the characters with Vocaloids.
The mysterious sound and tension-filled melody brilliantly capture the village’s legendary Eight-Gravestone curse and the fate bound to hidden treasure.
There are spoilers, so if you haven’t yet, consider reading the original first!
Sequelae, memo, time bomb.Satsuki
“Sequelae, Memorandum, Time Bomb” by Vocaloid producer Satsuki is a work that carefully portrays the darkness of the heart.
The first half depicts a gloomy mood over a near-futuristic sound.
Then, from the latter half, it modulates into an intense sound, culminating in a structure that showcases ultra high-speed vocals at the climax.
As you listen, try considering the meaning embedded in the title and in how the vocals are divided between Hatsune Miku and Kaai Yuki.
By the way, the latter half is quite fast-paced, so I recommend first listening to the MV with on-screen lyrics.
Chills down your spine. A scary yet irresistible collection of Vocaloid songs (81–90)
Forget it.saru onna
This song opens with an unsettling piano tone.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Saru Onna, released in 2021.
Though the piece has a suspicious, orchestral-infused sound, it somehow comes across like a nursery rhyme—perhaps thanks to Yuki Kaai’s vocals.
The barely-there whisper voice, on the verge of fading away, adds depth and dimension to the world it creates.
The lyrics make your heart race, too.
The bell motif that appears midway feels loaded with meaning, and the inclusion of the melody from the world-famous Christmas carol “Deck the Halls” invites you to speculate about the story behind it.
An emotional reunion loltsumigusa
Once it gets stuck in your head, it won’t leave your ears—a terrifying yet irresistible Vocaloid track.
Created by Sainakusao, a Vocaloid producer known for dark works, it was released in October 2024.
The heavy electro sound and poisonous lyrics themed around reunion leave a strong impression.
The contrast between Hatsune Miku’s innocent voice and lyrics peppered with internet slang like “ww” sends chills down your spine.
Just imagining what kind of reunion awaits makes your heart race.
A must-listen for fans of horror and splatter.
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).
BloodAzari
It’s a dark piece with heavy bass and an unsettling melodic line that pierces the heart.
Composed by Azari and released in October 2024, it features flower’s vocals, which exquisitely capture the song’s fantastical yet suggestive lyrical world.
Blood is used as a motif for love, drawing you into its downcast mood.
Once you’re hooked, there’s no escape—an unmistakably Azari-style electronic number.
