Chills Down Your Spine: A Collection of Scary Yet Irresistibly Listenable Vocaloid Songs (21–30)
Loop the Roomrushino
It’s a track that draws you into that strange feeling of almost breaking free but never quite escaping.
Created by Lushino for the anonymous submission event Colorless Transparent Festival 3, held in November 2025, the song takes inspiration from the urban legend “The Backrooms.” With electronic sounds, it conveys a maze-like sense of confinement and the cyclical sensation of endlessly looping through the same place.
A dark worldview unfolds, as if you’re sinking deeper into a dream.
Magical DoctorMARETU
This is exactly the kind of opening that screams “Vocaloid.” Above all, the visuals and sound alone evoke fear.
The lyrics line up with simple words, yet the way the voice is crafted and the backing track are incredibly frightening.
It feels like a work that would be impossible for a human to reproduce.
I think this is a crucial aspect of making Vocaloid music.
I highly recommend it as a target or benchmark for creators.
Tie and Untie, Rakshasa and Skeletonhachi
Speaking of Hachi, as many of you may know, that’s the Vocaloid producer name of singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu.
As expected—both the videos and the sound are incredibly polished.
The melody has a feel like a Japanese children’s song, yet casually mixes in unsettling words, and taken together it’s downright scary.
His deep command of language and skillful use of it are truly impressive.
Dear Sir/Madam,pepoyo
Despite its pop soundscape, it draws you into a frightening world—the gap between the two is captivating.
This track by Pepoyo, a multi-talented creator who also handles the illustrations and video, was released in March 2023.
It hits far too close to home, so I won’t quote it here as-is, but I can’t help thinking that only Pepoyo could make a topic like this so catchy.
It’s precisely because it’s so cute that it gives you chills.
Once you’re hooked, there’s no getting out.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry.kikuo
If you listen closely, it’s a very frightening song.
A desire to control someone precisely because you love them.
The sad truth of raising a hand even though you know it’s wrong.
The child’s-eye-view world woven by the lyrics brings waves of sorrow and fear the more you listen.
It’s a song that inevitably makes you reflect on your surroundings and on society.
EvaHiiragi Kirai
In the past, many Vocaloid songs portrayed worlds that humans couldn’t sing themselves, but the world of “Eva” is so deep it’s frightening.
The protagonist’s name is Zaika.
The creator has said they don’t want us to lose sight of the essence, and as you listen, you begin to see the protagonist—constantly denied and sinking into depression—lurking beneath the song.
The more you listen, the scarier it becomes.
It’s a wonderful work, so I highly recommend it.
WATCHERNEW!hya
A dark number that sends a shiver of tension down your spine, as if someone is staring at you from behind.
This piece was released in February 2026 by hya, a Vocaloid producer known for a horror-flavored worldview.
Massive beats and unsettling melodies intertwine, drawing listeners into a vortex of fear and exhilaration.
The vocals feature VoiSona’s Amai, whose innocent tone accentuates the song’s eeriness.
It’s perfect for anyone seeking an immersive musical experience.
