It’s a track with a haunting atmosphere, as if it were echoing from the darkness.

Something keeps following right behind you… that lyrical world sends chills down your spine.
The dark soundscape also incorporates elements of hardcore music.

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.

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.

The title’s impact is tremendous.
It’s a track by Vocaloid producer CASI, released in 2022, and it was an entry in the Rookie Ranking of VocaColle Spring 2022.
The song takes the curse of a straw doll as its theme, and the lyrics are filled with inescapable words.
A distinctive feature is the play on “wara” (straw) and the internet slang “wara/warai,” represented as “W.” You can feel the sense in the word choices.
The dark, heavy, and ominous electronic sound is impressively cool!

It’s a dark track steeped in an unsettling atmosphere.
Released by Tsumikusa in January 2025, this work paints lyrics filled with maddening love and a thirst for revenge against betrayal.
Hatsune Miku’s icy vocals pair exquisitely with the downbeat soundscape, leaving a powerful impression on listeners.
If you like dark songs or “yami” tracks, it’s a must-check.
It might also be good to listen to when you want to face the darkness within.
The wretched end of Michael, who swore revengejorujin
The End of Michael, Who Swore Revenge, created with Peter Pan and Wendy as its motif, was produced in 2023 by vocaloid producer Jorujin, known for crafting many story-driven songs.
The narrative unfolds featuring Wendy’s younger brothers Michael and John, as well as a boy with a prosthetic arm.
You can sense a range of emotions from the spoken-style vocals by IA, Kagamine Len, and GUMI.
As each character’s intentions intersect, the truths that come to light are nothing short of shocking.
It’s a Vocaloid track you’ll want to check out alongside its animated MV, which links closely with the dark, world-building lyrics.

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.
