Chills down your spine. A scary yet irresistible collection of Vocaloid songs (81–90)
Yodaka Shrinesanagi kottō
What on earth is the true identity of the deity enshrined at the shrine? This piece, “Yodaka no Jinja” (The Nightjar’s Shrine), is by Vocaloid producer Sanagi Kottou.
Released in March 2023, it was entered in the Rookie Ranking of BOCALOID Collection 2023 Spring.
Its sound arrangement is characterized by an oriental atmosphere.
Perhaps thanks to Seikai’s innocent singing voice, it also gives the impression of a picture-book read-aloud.
I can’t help but wonder—where did the protagonist go after the song ends?
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.
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.
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!
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.
Love Shakeemon
Crafted by Vocaloid producer Emon and released in November 2024, this work stands out for its downbeat tone and Yukii’s elusive, airy vocals.
The lyrics, depicting distorted human relationships and a self-centered way of life, pierce the hearts of those of us living in modern society.
Many listeners are bound to be drawn to a song with such a dark worldview.
It’s a piece that portrays deep introspection and emotional turbulence—be sure to give it a careful, immersive listen.

KUCHISAKEUtsu P
With its heavy sound and gut-wrenching shouts that violently shake your eardrums, this is a track by Utsu-P.
Released in July 2025 featuring Kasane Teto on vocals, the song takes inspiration from the well-known urban legend “Kuchisake-onna.” The protagonist’s screams—burdened by insecurities about appearance and a warped desire for social validation—hit painfully close.
The majestic chorus further amplifies the song’s eeriness and mystique.
