I want to see something scary.Shanon
Since beginning activity as a Vocaloid producer in 2017, Shannon—a multi-creator who also handles their own illustrations and videos—has crafted this track.
Its ominous lyrics, set to a sprightly, childlike melody reminiscent of a nursery rhyme, stir a sense of fear.
The uniquely inorganic timbre of VOCALOID vocals meshes uncannily well with the guileless melody, further shaping the song’s distinctive world.
It’s scary yet irresistibly replayable—a truly addictive number.

Someone more important than metsumigusa
If your partner cheated on you, what kind of action would you take? This is a song by Vocaloid producer Tsumigusa, released in 2023.
If you follow the lyrics, I think you’ll understand what happened.
The music expresses the protagonist’s emotions too—the tempo suddenly speeds up from a relaxed pace, the vocals grow more emotional—and before you know it, you’re immersed in the world and can’t stop listening.
It’s such a dramatic piece that it feels like it could be adapted into a visual work as is.
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!
follows me everywheretsumigusa
It’s a track with a haunting atmosphere, as if it were echoing from the darkness.
Created by Tsumikusa, it was released in April 2024.
Something keeps following right behind you… that lyrical world sends chills down your spine.
The dark soundscape also incorporates elements of hardcore music.
I recommend listening late at night, when you’re alone.
It might also be interesting to explore how it connects with Tsumikusa’s other songs.
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!
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.
Not yet, Ame.pepoyo
A song with an impressively apocalyptic atmosphere.
Composed by Pepoyo and released in December 2024, it symbolically portrays humanity’s powerlessness through unending rain and dim skies.
A world where poisonous rain falls—best left to the imagination.
The contrast between the catchy melody and the ominous mood really pierces the heart.
