[Yandere] A Special Feature on Chilling Vocaloid Love Songs

distressYugika

Distress / Nakine Mikoto

The noisy vocal work is absolutely irresistible! This track by Vocaloid producer Yugika was released in 2022 and won 5th place in the Rookie category of VocaColle Autumn 2022.

The powerful beats combined with sharp piano and hard synths make for a really cool sound! The spoken-style vocal part at the end of the first verse is another highlight.

The sense of cohesion throughout the entire song is outstanding.

Be sure to pay attention to the lyrics as well, as they lay bare a heart chasing after someone else!

[Hatsune Miku] Blindness Poem [Original]

Composer Yuzuhiko is very famous among Vocaloid producers, isn’t he? He’s released many popular songs with a dark, afflicted vibe, and this one in particular portrays the darkness of the human heart.

It’s that dangerously intense kind of song where you love someone so much you want to control them, watch their every move, follow them anywhere! Basically a stalker, right? (lol) But doesn’t it really capture that overwhelming desire to be together because you love them that much? The risky lyrics keep you on edge!

Love Love NightmareSomething P

[Hatsune Miku/Miku] – Love Love Nightmare (PV)

There are yandere songs like this, too.

It’s a track by kiichi, also known as “something-P,” released in 2008.

From the intro it grabs you—dark four-on-the-floor dance music.

The vocal parts are sparse, but perhaps thanks to the sound arrangement that feels like a wall of sound closing in, it has a charm that keeps you listening.

You can really sense something-P’s excellent musical sensibilities.

It’s a highly addictive Vocaloid song—once you hear it, you’ll be hooked and want to put it on repeat forever.

This is a song that lays all the blame on the other person, accusing them for the severed bond between us.

After admitting that I was actually the one at fault, I ask for their forgiveness, but I don’t know if my voice is reaching them.

I imagine suddenly asking for reconciliation from someone I was just pinning the guilt on would only cause trouble for them… So, what will the outcome be, I wonder?

Toa – If We Hold Hands, It’s Goodbye – ft. MAYU (Toa – Ruin Ruin – ft. MAYU)

It’s a fast-paced, jazzy track that starts with a drum roll.

Created by Toa, a popular Vocaloid producer also known as the author of “Patchwork Staccato,” it was released in 2015.

The melody is catchy, so it can sound upbeat, but the lyrics depict a breakup with someone you love and the somewhat throwaway feeling that comes with it.

It’s cheerful yet sad—the contrast really gets you.

The walking bass feels great.

It’s a yandere song that gives you chills from the very first moment it starts.

“Fudekimono,” produced by Vocaloid-P Hainomi, was released in August 2023 and was an entry for BokaColle 2023 Summer.

It’s suspicious yet energetic, and the rhythmic groove is seriously addictive.

Even just tracing each individual tone is fun—there’s something new to discover with every repeat.

Describing the “love” that has sprouted inside oneself as a “growth” is an incredibly sharp and stylish turn of phrase.

Jealousy / Luna feat. GUMI

As the title suggests, it’s about “me” wanting what “you” have out of jealousy.

It’s a work by Luna—also known for “Main Character” and “8.32”—released in 2014.

With its rhythmic, catchy sound, it’s very easy to listen to, but if you take time to parse the lyrics, you can feel the twisted affection of “me,” which sends a chill down your spine.

The arrangement right before the final chorus is goosebump-inducing.

Its easy-to-follow tempo also makes it a great recommendation for karaoke.
