I just wanted a diagnosis.kyiku
Vocaloid producer kyiku has been posting songs on YouTube since 2021.
The track he posted that’s been spreading by word of mouth is “I Just Wanted a Diagnosis.” Even the title alone gives off a dark vibe, doesn’t it? The song portrays someone who, after falling ill and being worried over by those around them, wishes that concern would never end.
It’s something many of us can relate to.
By the way, the lyrics allow for other interpretations too, so be sure to listen closely.
Love Shakeemon
Crafted by Vocaloid producer Emon and released in November 2024, this work stands out for its downbeat tone and Yukii’s elusive, airy vocals.
The lyrics, depicting distorted human relationships and a self-centered way of life, pierce the hearts of those of us living in modern society.
Many listeners are bound to be drawn to a song with such a dark worldview.
It’s a piece that portrays deep introspection and emotional turbulence—be sure to give it a careful, immersive listen.
downtimesurii
This is a rhythmical yet shadowy Vocaloid track themed around “downtime,” the period after cosmetic procedures until surgical marks and such settle.
It’s a work by the well-known Vocaloid producer Surii, famed for hits like “Telecaster B-Boy,” released in January 2023.
The intro’s synth sound rings out brightly with a suspicious allure—captivating on its own.
And then there’s the explosive power of the chorus: that catchy melodic line so characteristic of Surii sticks in your ears.
It’s a song you can enjoy by pondering the story or simply by reveling in the sound.
Swirling and weaving throughtoiki
It’s an upbeat-sounding track, but the lyrics are filled with dark undertones—like turning our morbid curiosity into music.
Composed by Toiki, who also wrote Ado’s “ANEMONE” and “Corpse Lover,” it was released in April 2023.
A bassline that can even come off as comical, a rhythmic beat, a catchy, snappy melody—and lyrics that sharply contrast with all of that.
If it hooks you, you’ll find yourself in a world you can never escape.
ElvioletRen
It’s a solemn Vocaloid track that pulls your attention into its sizzling, insistent beat.
Composed by Ren, the Vocaloid producer behind “Downer Witch” and “Sunset of Rêve,” it was released in April 2023.
The tempo is relaxed, yet unlike a ballad it maintains a constant sense of tension.
The lyrics, which express feelings for a loved one, have a touch of madness, and yet their beautiful wording and the song’s worldbuilding are utterly captivating.
The arrangement incorporating breath sounds is also superb.
A disease called pessimismMushi no shirase
Be sure to check out “A Disease Called Pessimism” released by Mushi no Shirase as well.
The “pessimism” in the title refers to the feeling of viewing the world as something unpleasant.
In the song, a man falls in love and realizes how wonderful life can be, but after many twists and turns, he ends up growing weary of life.
Its heartrending yet mysterious story will capture your heart.
Imagine what became of the male protagonist and what happened to him.
You might find some clues by watching the music video.
