I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

One reason VOCALOID became widespread is that it offers a vocalist who sings exactly as the creator envisions.

Even when using the same voice library, the content of the works varies enormously.

Love songs, cute cheer songs, rock and hip-hop, R&B—and some are even scary.

So in this article, we’ve put together a selection of VOCALOID tracks that will send chills down your spine.

As you listen with trepidation, you’ll find yourself addicted—every track is that compelling!

Take the plunge into the deep world of VOCALOID!

Many of you may find that its original sound sears itself into your mind and won’t let go.

Produced by STEAKA and set for release in July 2025, this track was written as the theme song for the immersive horror event “Obaken.” Riding on a sound that’s dark yet pop, it portrays the tense atmosphere of sensing someone’s gaze upon you.

Packed with cinematic phrases that feel like they scrape at the listener’s nerves, it lets you experience the thrill of becoming the protagonist of a horror work.

Highly recommended not only for fans of puzzles and horror, but also for anyone who wants to listen to music that strays just a little from the everyday.

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.
