[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs

Angel 92MARETU

[Hatsune Miku] Angel 92 [Original]

Angel 92 by MARETU, the Vocaloid producer known for hits like “Uminaoshi” and “White Happy.” Miku’s edgy vocals pair perfectly with a sound that blends weight and lightness.

Even the title alone offers plenty to analyze, so you might discover something new with every listen.

It’s a must-hear not only for fans of dark, troubled songs, but also for anyone who likes cool tracks.

Reincarnated ApplePinokio P

PinocchioP – Reincarnation Apple feat. Hatsune Miku

The Vocaloid song I want people who are facing a painful reality right now to hear is “Tensei Ringo” (“Reincarnation Apple”).

It was produced in 2022 by Vocaloid producer PinocchioP, who delivers genre-defying tracks to listeners.

The ever-unfolding synth tones make it an addictive electro-pop piece.

You can’t help but empathize with the protagonist who is reborn to restart life, only to hit reset again and again.

It’s a number I especially recommend to those who feel anxiety or loneliness in their daily lives.

How about lending an ear to Hatsune Miku’s mechanical vocals?

QUEENKanaria

【GUMI】QUEEN【Kanaria】

A cool dance tune that lets you savor both swagger and fear at the same time! It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Kanaria, also known for songs like “Envy Baby” and “EYE,” released in 2022.

It’s by no means a song with a lot of notes, yet it doesn’t feel lacking in the slightest.

The sound work makes you think “this is exactly what it needs,” and it’s jaw-dropping.

The build-up leading into the chorus really gets the energy up, too! It’s also fun to look for connections with Kanaria’s other songs, such as “KING,” where the contrast in the title is particularly effective.

CursE_youShoten Tarō

"CursE_you" / Bookstore Taro feat. Megurine Luka

A gut-wrenching VOCALOID track where loud rock collides with emotional fervor.

Crafted by Shotentaro, it was released in July 2020.

Its sound production alternates between intensity and silence, and the lyric world—centered on the keyword “curse”—is breathtaking in its portrayal of complex emotions intertwining love and hatred.

Recommended for moments when you want to confront the indelible feelings deep in your heart or set your emotions free.

If you enjoy screamo sounds or resonate with dark, earnest narratives, you’ll surely be drawn in.

Lonely Envykoyori

Hatsune Miku: 'Lonely Envy' (Original) with Lyrics

A somewhat nostalgic, shadowy sound.

A track by Denpol-P, also known as koyori.

The seamless blend of synth riffs and band-style arrangement leaves a strong impression with its high level of musical quality.

For some reason, listening to it makes me feel as if I’m simply watching children play in a park.

Daraku-chan¿?shimon

Fallen-chan / ¿? feat. Kaai Yuki

A downer electro tune with a heavy, sinking beat that gets under your skin.

It’s a piece by Vocaloid producer ¿?shimon, released in August 2025.

The song rides a repetitive rhythm to portray a sense of powerlessness toward an unchanging self and a nihilistic urge to escape a languid everyday life.

The gloomy sound and melody synchronize with the protagonist’s inescapable sense of suffocation.

It’s something I want you to listen to on those nights when you’re sick of everything and just want to drown in music.

A Seabed Tale of Crinoidsn-buna

[Hatsune Miku] Umiyuri Kaiteitan [Project DIVA X]

Although it has a fairly bright tone, it’s actually a “yami” song… I recommend listening to it when you want recognition or when you’re going through something tough.

The catchy melody sticks in your head and you’ll find yourself humming it.

The watercolor-style artwork in the PV matches the song and is really nice.
