Chills down your spine. A collection of Vocaloid songs that are scary but irresistibly listenable.

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

One reason VOCALOID became widespread is that it offers a vocalist who sings exactly as the creator envisions.

Even when using the same voice library, the content of the works varies enormously.

Love songs, cute cheer songs, rock and hip-hop, R&B—and some are even scary.

So in this article, we’ve put together a selection of VOCALOID tracks that will send chills down your spine.

As you listen with trepidation, you’ll find yourself addicted—every track is that compelling!

Take the plunge into the deep world of VOCALOID!

A spine-chilling collection of Vocaloid songs that are scary but irresistible to listen to (51–60)

I came to see you.Sin grass

ᴵ’ᵐ ʰᵉʳᵉ ᵗᵒ ˢᵉᵉ ʸᵒᵘ

I came to see you, sinful weed.

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.

Tickin’ Terror / Kasane Teto SV

Tickin' Terror Teddy Dare

It’s an addictive horror-pop tune.

The song is by Teddy Dear, a Vocaloid producer known for a mysterious style, and it was released in September 2025.

The lively electroswing sound and Kasane Teto SV’s slightly bewitching vocals are a perfect match.

This work feels as if a guide through nightmares is whispering, “You’re next.” The depiction of fear—tinged with both thrills and comedy—pulls you in as you listen.

It leaves you with the same satisfaction as if you’d just finished watching a horror film.

Chamy's Play Lady Monsters.

A work by the Vocaloid producer duo LadyMonsters., consisting of Takuma and Miisuika, released in September 2025.

The rhythmic yet eerie sound meshes perfectly with the husky vocals, and as you keep listening, you’ll find yourself unable to escape its distinctive world.

The madness lurking within innocent play and the unsettling, parent-child-themed storytelling are irresistible.

If you like this world, be sure to explore the stories of other monsters in the album “FREAKSHOW Vol.2”!

Casting Miss Yuri・Kanon × Walpurgis 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.

A Chill Down Your Spine: A Collection of Scary-but-Irresistible Vocaloid Songs (61–70)

I want to see something scary.Shannon

MV 'I Want to See Scary Things' / Shannon feat. GUMI

Shannon who wants to see something scary

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.

EntomologistsGHOST

Hatsune Miku Eng / Entomologists [Original Song]

EntomologistsGHOST

It opens with dissonance—starting from a sense of eeriness.

A melody that evokes an abandoned Western-style mansion where no one resides continues, and the lack of dynamics further doubles the fear through its composition.

An ambitious work by GHOST, an overseas Vocaloid producer.

When you try translating the lyrics, you come across another unsettling phrase: entomologist.

What, then, is the hidden meaning of this song? Be sure to listen while translating and savor its worldview.

to wish; to hopeAl

to wish

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.
