A Chill Down Your Spine: A Collection of Scary but Irresistible Vocaloid Songs (71–80)
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?
EntomologistsGHOST
It opens with dissonance—starting from a sense of eeriness.
A melody that evokes an abandoned Western-style mansion where no one resides continues, and the lack of dynamics further doubles the fear through its composition.
An ambitious work by GHOST, an overseas Vocaloid producer.
When you try translating the lyrics, you come across another unsettling phrase: entomologist.
What, then, is the hidden meaning of this song? Be sure to listen while translating and savor its worldview.
KagunaMiyashita Yuu
I don’t think this sound would work with a human voice.
This song is overflowing with a worldview that only a Vocaloid can convey, and I can’t help but feel it stands apart from songs sung by people—precisely what makes it a VOCALOID piece.
It’s a track that showcases the creator’s outstanding musicality and sense.
It was released in 2017.
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.
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.
