[Hits You Deep] A Selection of Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (101–110)
Spring LonelinessInabakumo
When you’re overwhelmed by your own shortcomings, this song is sure to hit home.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Inabakumori, also known for “Lagtrain” and “Lost Umbrella,” released in 2021.
It serves as the official demo song for the Synthesizer vocal database “Synthesizer V Maki Tsurumaki AI.” Its wistful vocals pair perfectly with Inabakumori’s characteristically ennui-tinged sound, making for a subdued rock number.
If you’re looking for a song that will sit with you in your slump, this is it.
seems like (just) my imaginationChōchō P
Would we be free if we threw everything away? Of course not.
It’s a dark song about not wanting to be hurt any more—singing that if it’s going to hurt this much, then just cut me apart, destroy me.
The piano’s timbre seems to seep into the depths of the heart.
Let’s take some medicine and go to sleep.mochi utsune
Dark-sounding tracks aren’t the only ones that count as “yami songs,” right? This track by Vocaloid producer Mochiutsune was released in 2022.
It was submitted to “VocaColle 2022 Autumn” and drew attention by placing 15th in the Rookie Ranking.
It’s a work with a cute yet somewhat shadowy vibe—the so-called “mass-produced” aesthetic.
Once you step into this world, you won’t be able to get out.
Miku’s whispery vocals and the chiptune-infused sound are just a few of its many charms.
With music, you don’t have to worry about dosage or directions for use!
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.
apricotiyowa
Before you know it, you won’t be able to escape this world.
It’s a work by the Vocaloid producer Iyowa, known for their high-sense musicality, released in 2021.
It’s also included on the album “Watashi no Heritage,” released the same year.
The finely chopped beats, a piano phrase that doesn’t fall apart even when it slips off the rhythm, the matter-of-fact melodic line, and the unpredictable developments—there’s no end to the amazing and admirable points one could list.
The lyrics, which let you savor cuteness and fear at the same time, are also a must-see.

EYEKanaria
The dark, stylish sound is irresistible! This track is by the Vocaloid producer Kanaria, known for hits like “KING” and “Envy Baby,” and it was released in 2021.
While the lyrics are in Japanese, the tuning makes it sound as if it’s being sung in English, which is a distinctive touch.
The word choice in the lyrics is excellent too—it makes you want to sing along as you listen.
Be sure to turn up the volume and enjoy! Kanaria’s songs feel simple yet deep, don’t they?

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.
