[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (111–120)
two-breath walkingDECO*27
It may sound like a mutual love song, but it also comes across as the two relying on each other.
This track is by DECO*27, a Vocaloid producer who also works as a professional composer.
Savor the highly narrative lyrics and the guitar riff that blends catchiness with coolness.
vulgarUtsu P
“Gehin” has also received a huge response from overseas Vocaloid fans.
It’s a work by Utsu-P, who is also active in a band.
The song packs a serious punch: set to a heavy metal-style sound, it’s built around shouting words that might be considered “vulgar.” It’s a pretty unusual theme, right? But it doesn’t stop there—it also digs into “love” and “humanity.” It’s simply cool, and its message really grabs you.
Cynical Night PlanAyase
How about a stylish, urban electric tune? Created by Ayase, who is also active as a member of the music unit YOASOBI, it was released in 2020.
With its vividly arranged sound and an ear-catching melody line, the song feels catchy and very easy to listen to, but…
the lyrics reveal a twisted, troubled love story.
Is this what they call a “grown-up romance”? It’s a Vocaloid track with a faintly dangerous vibe.
NightmareAzari
A wave of people are getting hooked on this dark electric tune! It’s a track by Azari, a popular Vocaloid producer with many overseas fans, released in 2022.
The heavy, thundering bass and flower’s noisy vocals leave a strong impression.
It feels like something is slowly closing in on you… Listening to it evokes that sensation, that fear.
Perhaps the very fear stirred up by the sound arrangement is the “Nightmare” itself.
Spring-driven Girl ClockDrop
Judging by the title it sounds difficult, but “撥条” is read as “zenmai” (mainspring).
It’s the theme song of Cocorico, a character from the popular mobile game #Compass.
Brimming with a gothic mood, the intro alone makes you feel like you’ve stepped into an extraordinary world! In fact, some of the lyrics differ slightly from those in the game, so it’s fun to analyze how they’ve changed.
With bits of French sprinkled throughout, it’s really cool if you can sing it smoothly.
pinkMARETU
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!
Go away.jin
This piece delves into emotions that everyone must have felt at least once.
Created by Jin, also known as Shizen no Teki-P, the author of the Kagerou Project series, it was released in 2022 and is included on the album Allegories from the same year.
The light tones of acoustic guitar and piano linger in your ears, yet what swirls in your heart after listening is a sense of poignancy.
That’s likely because of the sorrowful feelings reflected in the lyrics.
It should especially resonate with teenagers in their sensitive years.
