[Striking] A Selection of Dark/Venty Vocaloid Songs (71–80)
nameless illnessaogurisu
A nameless illness of the heart—anxiety and loneliness with no clear cause.
This work by Aogurisu portrays those struggles.
Released in February 2025, it perfectly matches Yukari Yuki’s translucent vocals with a dark musical tone.
The protagonist’s emotions—feelings of self-denial and disconnection from society—are rendered as if shrouded in fog.
If you’re feeling lonely, or carrying an unease you can’t put into words, it’s likely to hit you hard.
I’m not interested.jon-YAKITORY
It’s a Vocaloid track that’s irresistible for its tsundere-style love—pushing someone away with a “I’m not interested in you,” while burning with feelings underneath! Created by jon-YAKITORY, it’s the Vocaloid version of a song written specifically for hololive VTuber La+ Darknesss.
It portrays heavy romantic emotions: a cool, aloof exterior masking a blazing, possessive desire inside.
jon-YAKITORY’s signature addictive sound perfectly amplifies that twisted affection.
This worldview is bound to hit home for many!
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.”
Reincarnated ApplePinokio P
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?
VampireDECO*27
It’s a Vocaloid rock tune with a yandere vibe.
Created by DECO*27, a Vocaloid producer who also writes songs for famous artists, it was released in 2021.
It’s a mixture rock number that effectively incorporates electronic sounds.
The section where it shifts into a jazz style partway through is really interesting.
The lyrics, which liken the feeling of wanting someone too much to a vampire, are cute yet delightfully dark.
With its upbeat feel, it’s a track I highly recommend for karaoke.
It was all a dream!kuro usagi
Kurousagi’s track “It Was All Just a Dream!” is a melancholic, yami-style song with meticulously crafted sound design.
Released in September 2024, the piece pairs Kasane Teto’s heartrending vocals with a simple beat that really sinks in.
The lyrics convey feelings of self-denial and escapism, and it’s easy to empathize with the protagonist who tries to shake off the past by saying “It was all just a dream.” The more you listen, the more you get drawn into its mysterious depth.
It’s the perfect song for when you’re feeling down or want to be alone with your thoughts.
MeowMARETU
It’s a Vocaloid track with an outstandingly addictive thrill that sends shivers down your spine.
It’s a song by MARETU, released in December 2024.
With lots of cat meows throughout, it might sound cute at first listen.
But beneath that lies a viscous, story-driven core.
It’s a quintessential MARETU number that pierces the listener’s heart.
Take your time to delve into it and consider what meanings the song might hold.
