Chills Down Your Spine: A Collection of Scary but Irresistible Vocaloid Songs (11–20)
murder threatNEW!kawarui nochi
A song by Vocaloid producer Kawarui Inochi, released in February 2026.
Set to a chiptune-style, rhythmic track, a rather precarious story unfolds, just as the ominous title suggests.
The innocently tuned vocals further accentuate the fear.
It’s a Vocaloid track that you can’t look away from even as it scares you.
If you enjoy mad, deranged worldbuilding, be sure to check it out.
Evil KingSOOOO
A track by VOCALOID producer SOOOO, who excels in genres like electronica, industrial, and dark ambient.
The song, for which he also created the video himself, features inorganic, ultra-high-pitched melodies that evoke a unique sense of weightlessness, while its rapidly shifting development amplifies both its otherworldliness and addictiveness.
It’s a piece where delicate nuances coexist within a sound that feels like it’s being hurled at you—frightening yet beautiful.
A superb VOCALOID number in which the characteristics of the software and the song’s worldbuilding are perfectly matched.
Children who have nowhere to goden|kujira
It sounds like a catchy song, yet it increasingly stirs up a sense of anxiety.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer DenǂKujira, also known for the hits “Kurashi Gas Meter” and “Nemurimo,” released in 2022.
The tune is almost cheerful, but the lyrics portray the feelings of a child whose heart is frayed.
You can sense how their emotions have nowhere to go, and it tightens your chest as you listen.
That said, I imagine many people can relate to feelings like these.
Sinful lovekonnan
I can’t help but get absorbed in the lo-fi sound and whispery vocals.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Sona Onna, released in 2023.
It was entered in the Rookie Ranking of VocaColle Spring 2023.
The string tones, where a sense of floating and tension intertwine, are striking.
It also feels as if the song is gently dripping, drop by drop, from the singer’s lips.
The melancholic mood that pervades the entire piece is, strangely, comforting.
And the lyrics—so precarious they seem one misstep away from going off the rails—are another thing I love.
You’re up next.tsumigusa
Once you get caught, there’s no escaping—it’s terrifying, and yet you can’t help but listen.
This is a Vocaloid track by Tsumikusa, a Vocaloid producer known for dark compositions, released in March 2024.
It’s marked by a striking contrast between a grand, powerful arrangement featuring elaborate choral work and a chic piano sound.
On top of that, Miku’s innocent singing voice paired with the intense lyrics—“Next time, you’ll be the one involved”—sends chills down my spine.
It makes me wonder what on earth is going to happen to me after this…
Jason GirlLadyMonsters.
An eerie yet strangely cute electronic tune inspired by Friday the 13th.
Created by the Vocaloid producer duo LadyMonsters., composed of Takuma and Suika Mii, it was released in July 2024.
The rhythmic, mysterious sound pairs perfectly with the husky vocals, making it irresistibly groove-inducing.
The lyrics, which directly reflect the perilous mindset of the protagonist, “Jason Girl,” are another highlight.
If you enjoyed this track, be sure to meet the other monsters too!

IlllovedSOOOO
It’s an extremely avant-garde Kagamine Len track, with a flood of noise crashing over you.
The song is by Vocaloid producer SOOOO and was released in June 2024.
First off, every sound is razor-sharp, and its sheer impact is overwhelming.
Layered on top is a dim, shadowy lyrical world—not so much a message as the entire song, from end to end, feeling like the very darkness the protagonist carries.
It’s a downer, horror-tinged Vocaloid track that, out of a morbid curiosity, keeps you listening all the way to the end.
