[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (121–130)
Bad personsyudou
This is a Vocaloid song that portrays a precarious relationship between two people.
It’s a track by syudou, the Vocaloid producer who rose to fame with the explosive hit “Bitter Choco Decoration,” released in 2020.
The sound arrangement is lively, yet it conveys more darkness than brightness.
Hatsune Miku’s cute vocals, on the contrary, feel eerie.
The more you unravel the lyrics’ meaning, the deeper you sink into the song’s world—a bottomless Vocaloid track.
Be sure to savor both the sound and the words carefully.
quietszri
Haven’t we all experienced feeling lonely at some point? Quiet captures that state of mind in a realistic and dark way.
The track was created by Vocaloid producer szri as an entry for the Rookie category of BokaColle 2023 Summer.
Set to an intense sound with rapidly shifting pitch, it features ultra-fast vocals.
That hallmark rapid-fire delivery unique to Vocaloid seems to express emotions overflowing.
Be sure to listen while following along with the lyrics.
overwritingiyowa
It’s a Vocaloid song with a bittersweet worldview where feelings hidden deep in the heart overflow.
Released by Iyowa in August 2024, it’s a duet between Hatsune Miku and Hanakuma Chifuyu, and the theme of “overwriting” memories and emotions is striking.
You’re drawn into the imagery—like the scent of cicadas and the shoreline—that symbolizes the end of a passing summer.
The melancholic tone, centered on piano, is layered with Iyowa’s signature unstable, wavering melody, piercing deeply into the listener’s heart.
It’s a song that gently stays close to those carrying painful memories and regrets.
Bradburyteniwoha
This is Teniwoha’s “Bradbury,” a song you can’t help but listen to from beginning to end without missing a beat.
It features flower’s punchy high-tone vocals, and the way the layers build up at a brisk tempo feels incredibly satisfying.
The cleverly calculated, rhymed lyrics that repeat the same sounds—one of Teniwoha’s specialties—are impressive as always.
The lyrics and mood are dark, yet somehow you can’t help but groove to it—truly a god-tier track! Teniwoha also sings this song himself, and that version is cool and highly recommended too.
[Hits You Hard] A Special Feature on Dark/Depressed Vocaloid Songs (131–140)
secret moodnakiso
A track that grabs your heart with its catchy melody and distinctive lyrics.
Created by Nakiso, this piece was released in July 2024 and sparked buzz among Vocaloid fans.
The world woven by Kaae Yuki’s vocals pierces deeply into the listener’s heart.
The lyrics, which project a sense of dependency, send chills down your spine.
It’s scary, yet you can’t help but keep listening—that’s its charm.
This work fully showcases Nakiso’s talent; dive in and immerse yourself.
merry bad endmafumafu
This is “Merry Bad End,” a work by Mafumafu, a singer-songwriter who has provided songs to numerous artists.
It’s said to depict human psychology within a group, and there may be many who share the same feelings as portrayed here.
Some listeners might even find courage through this song.
Using Hatsune Miku, it vividly captures that dark world.
It conveys such a real sense of a girl’s perspective that it’s hard to believe it was created by a man.
the lowest of the low (person); despicable persono chibi-san
When you’re struggling, there are times when everything feels painful and you stop caring about anything, right? For moments like that, I want you to listen to Ochibisan’s “Saitei Ningen” (“Lowest Human”).
Just from the sound, it might feel like a powerful, upbeat song, but the lyrics are very dark, and that contrast is startling.
The guitar carries real power and resonates deeply with the heart.
