[Hits You Hard] A Selection of Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (141–150)
refreshing and exhilaratingtsumigusa
Even though it’s titled “Refreshing and Exhilarating,” the fact that I’m introducing it as a yami song—that is, a dark, depressive track—means there’s a gap between the title’s image and the actual content.
It’s a song by Tsumikusa, a Vocaloid producer known for a dark style, released in June 2024.
With its majestic choral work that lingers in your ears, it’s a Vocaloid track that makes you feel like you’ve “seen something you shouldn’t have.” Why does the protagonist feel so “refreshingly exhilarated,” I wonder… Watch it alongside the MV and let your imagination wander through the story.
When the morning glories falljippsu
The decadent lyrics linger in my mind.
However, despite the content of the lyrics, the falsetto is beautiful.
It gives off a very poignant atmosphere.
The lead-in to the chorus is so powerful, and I think it’s an outstanding ballad.
The guitar tone, which feels like pure emotion poured straight out, is great too.
Kurayasukoppu
Scop, a Vocaloid producer known for expressing a unique worldview, the fragility and darkness of the heart, and human weakness.
This song, “Kuraia,” packed full of that darkness and pain, is incredibly relatable when you’re feeling down.
You can sink into it all the way to rock bottom, or let it encourage you.
It’s a “dark” song I want every troubled person to hear.
[Hits Deeply] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (151–160)
To the Android I spent my life withmofu@
I’m entranced by the beautiful singing voice.
It’s a love song about a robot boy and a human girl.
The robot boy, who has no heart, gradually learns emotions, and in the end, when the human girl dies of old age, he sheds tears—that’s the story.
HEAVENHarihara Tsubasa
The world is unfair.
It’s a world where when our wishes come true, someone else loses.
This song says goodbye to that kind of world.
If you listen to it to the end, you’re sure to be in tears.
The music video also has a story, so I recommend taking your time to watch it!
Sweet LiesAzari
If you’ve experienced a sad, painful farewell with someone precious, this will surely resonate.
It’s a track by the enigmatic Vocaloid producer Azari, known for shadowy works like “Shadow Shadow” and “Who?”, released in March 2023.
The piano’s beautiful, fragile timbre and Utaai Yuki’s childlike voice are striking.
Rather than polished vocal work, it feels as if the words are naturally spilling out.
The sounds are gentle—so why does it hurt so much?
Better Off WorseCircus-P
I think many people are drawn not to bright songs but to ones with shadows.
Creators understand this and deliberately keep making works with a darker mood… so what lies at the end of that path? This track is by CircusP—one of the overseas Vocaloid producers known for songs like “Crystalline”—and it was released in May 2023.
It’s a dance tune packed with tension and impact.
The chorus, in particular, overwhelms you as the vocals and sound come crashing in.
And its ironic, razor-sharp message really pierces the heart.
