Chills Down Your Spine: A Collection of Scary Yet Irresistibly Listenable Vocaloid Songs (21–30)
murder threatkawarui 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.
I will teach you how to commit the perfect crime.jorujin
It’s a Vocaloid song that’s so scary you can’t take your ears—or eyes—off it.
Created by the Vocaloid producer Jorujin, also known under the name Ankoku Dowa-P (Dark Fairy Tale P), it was released in March 2023.
The lyrics are based on a trick featured in Soji Shimada’s novel The Tokyo Zodiac Murders, and… well, the content is quite violent, and revealing more would be a spoiler, so I can’t go into detail here.
Even the ominous title is intriguing, and I encourage you to uncover the truth for yourself.
If you’re a fan of detective fiction, this will definitely hit the mark!
A Chill Down Your Spine: A Collection of Scary but Irresistible Vocaloid Songs (31–40)
Happy Heroine Sniperjorujin
This is a song by Jorujin, also known as Dark Fairy Tale P.
As you might guess from the producer name and the title “Happy Heroine Sniper,” this work includes parodies of four fairy tales.
It’s a thought-provoking masterpiece that highlights contradictions in classic stories.
It was released in 2016.
How to make Lady Berry.Machigerīta P
This song, which opens with low guitar notes, has a maddening sense of fear.
The first time you hear it, anyone would think it’s about a girl going through something terrifying, but the subject is actually a strawberry on top of a cake.
Once you know the background, it’s strange how it starts to sound a bit cute.
That said, it’s recommended for those who want to experience some fear.
Nemesiavictream
The title “Nemesia” is the name of a flower.
I think it captures the aimless fear and sense of despair felt during adolescence very well.
Even if you fail, you can stand up again—you can bloom again; it’s as if you can hear that cry.
It’s a song I especially recommend to the younger generation, and to you who are a student right now.
Clown actjorujin
The cheerful tone of the music contrasted with the fear-inducing lyrics—it’s that gap that gets me.
“Pierrot Act” by Jorujin, also known as Dark Fairy Tale P, was released in June 2023.
It’s a piece based on the real-life serial killer John Wayne Gacy.
It’s so shocking that I won’t spell out the details here, but as you follow the lyrics, your insides start to feel, well, muddied…
You can really sense Jorujin’s style in the way he brings in an interpretive angle to such a heavy theme.
Strange Talenihoshika
This is the Kaf version of “Kaidan,” created by Team Ghost Club—formed by Nihoshika and other members—for VocaDuo 2024.
Set in a school at night, it tells the story of a protagonist who, after losing their life, wanders as a ghost.
The narrative unfolds through exchanges with a girl—also a ghost—who gently makes the protagonist accept their death.
Beneath the steady beat, there’s a subtly wistful atmosphere.
As you listen, let your mind dwell on the story—why did the protagonist lose their life?
