Chills Down Your Spine: A Collection of Scary but Irresistible Vocaloid Songs (11–20)
Zody's CodeNEW!Jorujin
It’s a work steeped in an unsettling atmosphere—irresistible for lovers of deep analysis.
Zodee’s Code, produced by Vocaloid creator Jorjin, was released in January 2026.
Made as the third installment of the “Serial Killer Series,” it draws on real unsolved cases and is peppered with ciphers and thrilling gimmicks throughout.
With Fukase’s voice resonating in a cool, detached tone, the lyrics’ manifesto-like criminal message stands out all the more.
If you enjoy mysteries and suspense, you’ll almost certainly get hooked.
The story of a man who became DraculaJorujin
This track sublimates stories lurking in the shadows of history into dark, grand music.
Released by Jorujin in August 2024, the piece is set in 15th-century Romania and depicts the complex life of Vlad III.
Its serious tone and dramatic melodies fuse to draw listeners into the whirlpool of history.
Positioned as a sequel to the earlier work “The Iron Maiden and the Dreamy Princess,” it fully showcases Jorujin’s unique worldview.
I highly recommend it to history enthusiasts and fans of dark fantasy.
Through this work, you’ll feel the human struggle caught between power and sacrifice, and love.
Children who have nowhere to goElectric Whale
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.
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.
You're up next.Sin grass
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…
Sinful lovediscarded woman
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.

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.
