A chill down your spine. A collection of Vocaloid songs that are scary but make you want to listen (41–50)
˶╹ᴗ╹˶tsumigusa
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!
Ensemble Orléansjorujin
It’s a Vocaloid track with a noisy electric sound that really sticks in your ears.
The song is by Jorujin, also known as Dark Fairy Tale P, and was released in May 2021.
It takes Joan of Arc as its motif, depicting—through Jorujin’s distinctive interpretation—her supernatural ability to “hear the voice of God,” as well as her extraordinary life in which she was treated both as a hero and as a witch.
The powerful sound and highly narrative lyrics are absolutely captivating.
If this piques your interest, be sure to look into Joan’s life.
Hide and seekInukai
This is a track where thrills intertwine with morbid madness.
Composed by the Vocaloid producer Inukai, it was released in January 2026 and is an entry for “Amai Con! 2025.” The piece conveys a chilling tension—no matter how you lie and hide, you can’t escape—and it sends shivers down your spine.
Its addictive mix of cuteness and fear will have you hitting repeat before you know it.
A must-listen for anyone seeking something stimulating and edgy!
Curse, curse, curseFuyuu
If you’re looking for music with a strong narrative that sends shivers down your spine, this is it! This piece was released by Vocaloid producer Fuyuu in August 2025.
True to its title, it explores the theme of “curses,” expressing the emotions of a protagonist trapped in an inescapable fate.
The dramatic metal-gothic sound intertwines with the wistful vocals of Hatsune Miku and Kaai Yuki, gripping the listener’s heart.
Give it a listen on a night when you want deep immersion and lingering afterglow!
Congratulationsshizensui
Despite its cheerful clapping and festive melody, this work chills you with the cynical message of its lyrics and the eerie atmosphere of its music video.
Shizensuisan’s “Omedetou,” released in June 2025.
Once you hear it, you’ll be shocked at how ominous words of congratulations can sound.
Quoting a familiar phrase from Beethoven, it conjures a crazed celebratory mood.
Why not take your time to ponder the true intent hidden behind the words?
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.
warningtsumigusa
Released in April 2025, “Keikoku” by Zaimokusa—renowned for their spine-chilling style—delivers an intensely unsettling experience.
Its fantastical, madness-tinged worldview and excessively yandere lyrics are downright terrifying.
Hatsune Miku’s voice rings out with an icy clarity, while the razor-sharp sound design creates a destructive sense of tension.
The resolve of “I will never allow you to leave me” comes through relentlessly in both the music and the words.
The atmosphere is honestly addictive.
A must-listen for fans of the macabre.
