A Chill Down Your Spine: A Collection of Scary but Irresistible Vocaloid Songs (71–80)
About monstersHuman pass
A song by Vocaloid producer Ningen Gokaku, who previously thrived as a sandei-P and as a utaite/human performer, and who works under the artist name Sakurai.
It’s a track whose bouncy shuffle beat and brisk melody linger in your ears.
The poppy tune and style contrast with the madness in the lyrics, and when fused with VOCALOID’s inorganic quality, the result is a uniquely addictive piece.
Listen once and it etches itself into your ears and your heart—a scary yet irresistible Vocaloid number.
Forget it.monkey woman
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.
fox fox foxHarmony and Evil
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.
mimic×holicVell
If you like “yami songs” (dark, depressive tracks), “mimic×holic” is a must-listen.
This piece is a song produced by Vell, and its lyrics depict a woman who changes parts of her face in pursuit of beauty.
In the title, “mimic” means to imitate, and “holic” indicates being addicted or obsessed.
From this, it can be inferred that the woman in the song wishes to become someone else.
The dark production elements—such as the sampled electrocardiogram sound in the interlude—are also highlights.
pity partyRoji
With its heavy, oppressive sound and raw, aching vocals, Roji’s track evokes a spine-chilling sensation.
Released in October 2024, the song explores themes of loneliness and self-loathing, delving into the darkness within the listener’s heart.
Though the lyrics aren’t overtly direct, they carry a strange allure that compels you to “hear them out,” as if under a spell.
The distinctive rhythm—fusing electronic and rock elements—feels like a mirror of the protagonist’s emotional turbulence.
It’s a must-listen for those drawn to dark, serious atmospheres or anyone looking to confront their inner self.
Hatching a curseIDONO KAWAZU
A track distinguished by its unique acoustic design and mysterious atmosphere.
It’s a work by IDONO KAWAZU, released in February 2025.
The blend of Rei Adachi’s distinctive vocals with soundscapes that evoke a sense of unease is exquisite.
You’ll be captivated by the sound arrangement that fuses dark electro with rock.
The lyrics are sprinkled with philosophical questions, leaving ample room for deep interpretation.
Recommended for times when you want to face yourself.
