[Hits You Hard] A Selection of Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (141–150)
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.
I can’t find it, I can’t find it.kikuo
One piece that’s drawing attention for its unique presentation is “Mitsukannai Mitsukannai.” It’s a work by Kikuo, known as a Vocaloid producer and composer.
The song opens with whispery vocals.
From there, the melody gradually builds, and in the chorus the title phrase is repeated.
What exactly is the protagonist of the song searching for? Why not listen while pondering that question? It’s also nice to listen while reflecting on something you yourself have lost.
massacre (literally: “kill everyone”; often written 皆殺し)nakiso
The song “Minagoroshi” by Vocaloid producer Nakiso was released in February 2024.
Its spine-tingling sound arrangement and Yuki Kaai’s innocent vocals create a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.
Not only the musical style but each lyric feels raw; though it’s a “yami-song” (dark, depressive track), it carries a bittersweet, beautiful mood.
From this work—an intricate blend of gentleness and madness—you can sense Nakiso’s unfathomable punk spirit.
Nibi-iro DoroureTsumiki
These are lyrics that make you want to read deeply into them.
Created by Tsumiki, the author behind songs like “Recollection Endroll” and “Ground Zero,” it was released in 2018.
I’m introducing it as a dark-themed song, but its stylish sound is highly addictive and actually gets you hyped as you listen.
Observation of AntsHīringu P
It features the vibe of a children’s educational anime and developments that can only make you say, “How did it end up like this?” Works by Healing-P, such as “Pink Bunny,” “Tomobe Station,” and “Shinoman,” have uniquely distinctive titles.
Since they’re a Vocaloid producer with a wide range—from dark, troubled lyrics to heartrending ones—I recommend starting with whichever title catches your eye!
Rotten Girl Grotesque RomanceMachigerīta P
It’s a track included on the compilation CD “EX:P ~Ex:Producers~.” The song portrays a young girl’s feelings of love, but that love is overflowing with madness, and men might feel a chill down their spine when they listen to it.
Being loved that much would be flattering, but ideally you’d want a bright, happy relationship.
Still, in reality, there may be women who think, “If he won’t turn around and notice me, then I might as well…”
Isolation wardzankyou P
Rather than a “yami song” (emo/sick song), it’s more of a “yami” as in darkness—a track with strong horror-song elements.
It vividly portrays a girl descending into the shadows in an isolated ward.
The worldview feels like reading a horror novel and sends shivers down your spine.
Why not enjoy it as a summer ghost story to feel a chill?
