A chill down your spine. A collection of Vocaloid songs that are scary but make you want to listen (41–50)
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.
Slit-Mouthed MaidenLadyMonsters.
A mysterious piece inspired by the urban-legend figure, the Slit-Mouthed Woman.
Released by LadyMonsters.
in April 2025, the track features an impressive sound arrangement that blends chic flair with a sense of eeriness.
With vocals by flower, it vividly portrays the inner world of a heroine burdened by loneliness and alienation.
It creates a universe that goes beyond being merely “scary.” Seamlessly fusing horror elements with human drama, this work is sure to draw you in once you listen.
˶╹ᴗ╹˶Sin grass
A horror-themed Vocaloid track that gives you full-body chills.
Created by Tsumikusa, known for their dark style, it was released on February 14, 2025—Valentine’s Day.
From the very beginning, the developments are downright terrifying.
The lyrics paint a splatter-filled world, driven by a downer yet fast-paced sound.
The music video also captures the mood perfectly, and after the “Warning,” well…
Let’s just say, you’ll want to experience what happens next with your own eyes and ears!
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.
Paranormal ExperienceNakiso
A dark, thrilling Vocaloid track that bottles up that raw “something’s off” feeling into music.
It’s a song by Nakiso, released in October 2025.
Instinct warns of danger, yet curiosity makes you peek anyway.
Those conflicting emotions are scattered throughout the lyrics.
There’s plenty to enjoy, from the tight beat to the writhing basslines.
The tension created by the push and pull of the sounds captures the chills of encountering the supernatural.
Try listening with earphones late at night—you’ll feel a shiver down your spine!
DorothyMisumi
A song that captivates you with its incredibly beautiful illustration.
It portrays a girl lamenting the absurdity of the world, and the use of Vocaloid is simply exquisite.
I believe it’s precisely because it’s Vocaloid that this worldview comes across.
With its downer track that grabs your ears, it can be introduced as a masterpiece of Vocaloid rap.
HydrangeaUmetora
The heavy sound is one thing, but the waltz-like 3/4 rhythm further heightens the sense of fear.
The backing track is so realistic it’s hard to believe it’s programmed, and the vocals sound so human you’d never think it’s a Vocaloid.
This song is part of a single story.
By listening to the entire series in order, you can immerse yourself even deeper in the song’s world.
