[Striking] A Selection of Dark/Venty Vocaloid Songs (71–80)
No no, I don’t wanna!MARETU
It’s a gut-punch of a song that claws at your chest—a deeply depressive track.
This piece by MARETU was released in May 2024.
True to MARETU’s style, the lyrics are dark despite the rhythmic sound.
You can feel the desperate plea in the words: “Please, someone save me.” It might be the perfect song for those who feel lonely or wish someone would truly understand them.
Hanged Girl of the Haunted HouseTōma
It’s an addictive song with lyrics told from the perspective of a ghost girl left behind in an old mansion.
Created by Tohma, a popular Vocaloid producer known for his unique musical style and sophisticated word choice, it was released in 2012.
The strong narrative naturally makes you picture the scenes in your mind.
The sharp guitar tones and powerful drums are really cool.
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.
Cute Girlfriendsyudou
From the very beginning, the song explodes with a dark worldview.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer syudou—also known for crafting Ado’s signature hit “Usseewa”—released in 2021.
The lyrics, which depict a twisted, obsessive kind of love in stark contrast to the title, are especially compelling.
I suspect there are people who can’t help but feel this way about someone they like.
The sound arrangement, oscillating between cuteness and eeriness, is so polished it makes you want to say, “That’s syudou for you.”
crying intimidationwiroha ringo
A song by Iroha Ringo that explodes with an emotional worldview.
Released in September 2025, this work is sung by Yukige and Kazehiki V.
Its lyrics focus on dependence, obsession, and the madness of love.
Every word carries weight, and before you know it, you can’t escape this world it creates.
Experience its dark yet pop-tinged sound for yourself!
Phantom Scratchemon
A dark, addictive electro tune where ominous synths intertwine with a heavy bass.
Created by Vocaloid producer Emon, it was released in August 2025.
The theme of the song centers on an unfulfilled heart and a yearning so intense it hurts.
The lyrics sparkle with rhythmic wordplay, and paired with Yuki Utaai’s innocent vocals, they create a precarious yet captivating world.
This toxic-tinged sound—once you hear it, you won’t be able to escape!
Hello/How are you?nanou
This is a depressive song that portrays the real loneliness working adults face.
The lyrics are so relatable for anyone in the workforce that they can bring you to tears.
It will likely resonate especially with those who’ve just started working or are struggling because they’re not seeing results.
It may not be a cure, but it’s a song that stays by your side.
Recommended for those looking for a song to relate to or who want to sink into a darker mood.
