A spine-chilling collection of Vocaloid songs that are scary but irresistible to listen to (51–60)
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.
Vivid devastationSatsuki
A track by Satsuki, a Vocaloid producer known for cute Akiba-pop.
It opens with an arrangement brimming with panic and hysteria from the intro, and could be called a contemporary number that sets truly yandere-like, deranged lyrics to VOCALOID’s characteristically inorganic, ultra-fast melody.
The contrast between the relentless, driving melody of the verse and the catchiness of the chorus further brings the madness into sharp relief, making for an addictive piece whose arrangement could only be realized in a Vocaloid song.
casting mistakeYurii Kanon × Wolpis Carter
It’s already gone beyond the idea of “no human is singing.” Rather, precisely because no human is singing, it creates a world that can be performed.
A small mistake in life’s choices can ripple out into something huge.
This song sings about that very thing in a real, tangible way.
I recommend listening to it when you’re facing an important decision.
to wish; to hopeAru
The piece that captivates listeners with a slightly horror-tinged worldview is “Nozomu.” It’s a work by Al, a new-generation Vocaloid producer.
In this song, you can fully enjoy her hallmark: lyrics tinged with madness.
Specifically, it portrays a deep tangle of love and hate, elevated by music that resembles a music box.
First, listen closely and try to imagine the story.
By the way, the title is pronounced “koi-negau,” and it means to fervently wish or long for something.

Bird of paradiseNiru Kajitsu
A Vocaloid song that blends stylishness, coolness, and a dark worldview.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Nirukagachi, known for hits like “Traffic Jam” and “Sama,” released in 2020.
That distinctive groove, where the rhythmic core is deliberately offset, is irresistible.
The heavy, weighty bass draws you in as well.
The lyrics, as if overflowing with one’s true feelings, leave a deeply emotional impression.
Perfect for when you want to drown in a sea of sound.
There’s Something About MaryLadyMonsters.
This song is inspired by the urban legend “Mary-san” and told from the perspective of an abandoned doll.
It’s a track that showcases LadyMonsters.’ unique worldview, highlighted by v flower’s husky vocals.
The lyrics depict the doll’s obsession with and madness toward its owner, leaving a strong impression on listeners.
It’s recommended not only for fans of spooky themes, but also for those who enjoy story-driven music.
Listening in the stillness of night will draw you even deeper into its world.
That child’s happinessbabuchan
The video itself is packed with a sense of dread.
The shadow play feels like the opening theme of a fairy tale.
The meter shifts from 6/8 to 3/4, and the sound presses in relentlessly.
There aren’t any frightening words in the lyrics, but I think the true terror arrives when you grasp the real meaning lurking beneath them.
I recommend listening to it multiple times.
