[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (111–120)
tearsMARETU
It’s a light yet dark, highly addictive Vocaloid number.
The track is by MARETU, a popular Vocaloid producer known for hits like “Umin(a)oshi” and “White Happy,” and it was released in 2021.
Miku’s dry vocals pair perfectly with the peril-laden lyrics.
It’s very rhythmic, yet perhaps because of the heaviness of its worldbuilding, it stirs emotions that lie deep in the chest.
As for the made-up kanji that appear in the PV, as the song progresses… what happens, and what do they mean? Please find out for yourself.

The Good Child and the Fox SpiritKikuo
Even though just listening to the vocals or reading the lyrics can make you think, “How cute,” why does it still give you the creeps like this? It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer kikuo, known for avant-garde musicality, released in 2022.
The Japan-inspired tone and melody make you feel as if you’re witnessing a myth or an epic picture scroll.
Only kikuo could create a world like this, right? And be sure to pay attention to the emotional development after the final chorus—highly recommended!
Shantiwotaku
It’s a dark EDM track that makes you feel like you’ve stepped one foot into a dangerous world.
The song is by Vocaloid producer wotaku, also known for works like “Gehenna” and “Mafia,” and it was released in 2021.
With its sophisticated sound arrangement, KAITO’s mature vocals, and a hip-hop-tinged melodic line, it’s a very cool piece.
Being able to hear KAITO rap is probably irresistible for fans.

The resounding piano is stylish and cool, and the clever wordplay makes it a Vocaloid track that invites deep analysis.
It’s a song by Vocaloid producer LonePi, released in March 2023.
The lyrics have great sound and rhythm while clearly conveying a story—truly superb writing.
It’s a finish that really showcases LonePi’s sense of style.
What’s more, the MV and the illustrations used were also created by LonePi.

Shinitai-chansuicchi
It’s a yandere love song.
It fiercely expresses the pain of feelings that can’t reach the one you love.
Everyone has a yandere side in their heart.
This song digs up the sick, twisted part buried deep inside yourself.
It also has horror elements, so it’s recommended for those who want to listen to something a little scary.
Is it okay?kuro usagi
This is a dark, melancholic song that portrays self-loathing and a sense of alienation from society.
Composed by Kuro Usagi and released in December 2024, it drew attention as an entry for “VOCAParty!”.
With Kasane Teto’s vocals piercing straight to the heart, the earnest emotions conveyed in every word capture listeners and won’t let go.
I especially want those who struggle with their sense of self-worth or feel out of place in society to hear it—you’re sure to find something you can relate to.
How to Conquer the WorldNeru
It’s a song that cries out with overflowing emotion.
The chorus reaches notes so high you’ll probably need to use falsetto to hit them.
There are plenty of long sustained notes, so it might feel great to sing at karaoke! It’s a classic Vocaloid track that blends a lively rhythm with a touch of poignancy.
