With its lively, digitally driven timbre and a prominently pounding beat, the first impression is striking.
And above all, almost as soon as the track begins, the vocal work and chord progression give off an unsettling atmosphere.
The lyrics, too, use many eerie words that seem designed to stoke the listener’s anxiety, yet the rhyme schemes and the way the sounds resonate are pleasing to the ear.
This is, in the truest sense, a “highly addictive Vocaloid track.” You won’t be able to escape the repeat button!
Demon LordKanaria
When you think of “yami songs” (dark-themed songs), you might picture something messy or scary.
However, if you really pursue those elements, don’t they also lead to a kind of coolness? With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “Demon Lord.” It’s a work released by the Vocaloid producer Kanaria.
While the story isn’t spelled out in detail, the lyrics depict the protagonist attempting to take revenge on the world.
Its unsettling yet cool atmosphere gives it the impression of a dark hero.
Let's take some medicine and go to sleep.Mochiutsune
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!
PamelaBalloon
If you listen to it when you’re feeling lonely, it might just cut you deep.
This track by Balloon, a Vocaloid producer who also performs as singer-songwriter Keina Suda, was released in 2021.
With its breezy rhythm, stylish chord progressions, and sharp guitar phrases, every slice of it is a treat.
And that opening melody of the chorus—absolutely irresistible! It gives the impression of emotions bursting out all at once.
There’s also a self-cover version available, so be sure to compare it with the Vocaloid version!
egonomyت
I think you’ll be hooked within the first 10 seconds! It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer ت, who drew attention with their debut song “Alma,” released in February 2022.
The relentless sound arrangement and melody throughout are absolutely overwhelming.
The lyrics, filled with irony and clever wordplay, are another major draw.
Kafu’s razor-sharp vocals fit perfectly.
Just like what’s expressed in this song, I can’t help but feel I might be a bundle of ego myself… You might be left with something stirring in your chest after you finish listening.
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.
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!
