[Striking] A Selection of Dark/Venty Vocaloid Songs (71–80)
apopheniakuro usagi
A contemporary song that portrays the mind’s habit of finding meaning in random events.
Created by Kurosagi and released in October 2025.
Through motifs like fortune-telling, shooting stars, and black cats, it sings about a psychological state that links unrelated things with causality.
The work’s appeal lies in the contrast between the feeling of being dominated by anxiety due to excessive meaning-making and the heartfelt desire to be freed from it.
The precise tuning of Kasane Teto SV beautifully expresses the wavering of the heart—hesitation and indecision.
Be sure to listen to the version sung by Kurosagi themselves, too!
Angel 92MARETU
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.
Best regards to extinctionszri
A piece of melancholic electronica wrapped in heavy beats and a mysterious atmosphere.
Created by szri and released in February 2025, it weaves delicate melodies into a dark, industrial-tinged sound.
NurseRobo_Type T’s husky vocals and the fragile lyrics pierce deeply into the listener’s heart.
Perfect for when you want to confront the darkness within or immerse yourself in profound emotions.

Lonely Envykoyori
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.
FaraweaHiiragi Kirai
This is a song from the “Maimai Maigoen” series, which has been developed across multiple media such as games and manga.
Composed by the Vocaloid producer Kirai Hiiragi, known for hits like “Autophagy” and “Bocca della Verità,” it was released in 2022.
The song was created with Kanata, one of the characters from “Maimai Maigoen,” as its theme.
So, if you’re familiar with the game and manga as well, you might gain a deeper understanding of the song’s world.
The series has strong horror elements, so brace yourself before diving in!
Synicalityden|kujira
The song that ranked 14th in the VocaColle Summer 2023 TOP 100 is “Synicality.” It’s a track by DenǂWhale, and at first glance it has a gentle, nursery rhyme-like feel.
However, its lyrics are quite dark, depicting the fish at a fishmonger’s.
There are many terrifying expressions woven in, and you might find your impression of fish changed after listening.
Moreover, it can be interpreted not merely as a depiction of fish, but as an allegory comparing people living in society to fish.
I just wanted a diagnosis.kyiku
Vocaloid producer kyiku has been posting songs on YouTube since 2021.
The track he posted that’s been spreading by word of mouth is “I Just Wanted a Diagnosis.” Even the title alone gives off a dark vibe, doesn’t it? The song portrays someone who, after falling ill and being worried over by those around them, wishes that concern would never end.
It’s something many of us can relate to.
By the way, the lyrics allow for other interpretations too, so be sure to listen closely.
