[Hits you hard] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (161–170)
Karakuri Pierrot40mP
I’m self-deprecatingly calling myself a “clown” for being led around by the person I like.
It’s one of 40mP’s signature songs—he’s also a composer active in the mainstream—and it was released in 2011.
It’s also included on his second album from the same year, “A Small Me and a Big World.” The stylish sound and bittersweet lyrics are a perfect match.
If you’re new to love, there may be parts you can relate to.
PrototypeAira
This piece has a dark atmosphere that sinks deeply into the heart.
It’s a song that reveals a new side of Aira, released in August 2023.
The sound arrangement blends a sense of speed with grandeur, highlighted by her fragile, ephemeral vocals.
The lyrics reflect a struggle to accept one’s imperfect self, resonating deeply with listeners.
The passionately staged music video further enriches the song’s world.
Listen once, and you won’t be able to escape—it’s that addictive.
If you’re feeling lonely, it will surely pierce your heart.
Be My GuestAzari
It makes you want to crank the volume to the max and feel that swelling, wobbling bassline! This piece is by Azari, a Vocaloid producer known for a dark musical style, released in 2022.
If you’ve heard this sound arrangement even once, you can instantly tell, “This is an Azari track!” Perhaps because the number of elements is kept minimal, each individual timbre really stands out.
And the youthful, innocent-sounding vocals suit the mood of the track perfectly.
Vocalo ColosseumDIVELA
The heavy sound arrangement is insanely cool.
It’s a hit by DIVELA, who won the Grand Prix in the “Hatsune Miku: Magical Mirai 2018” song contest and drew a lot of attention, released in 2018.
The powerful drums and percussion phrases match perfectly with Kagamine Rin’s razor-sharp vocals, making it highly addictive.
And the standout is the lyrics in the chorus.
There’s a suspicious, strange, and captivating worldview that makes you think only DIVELA could have created it.
Definitely add it to your playlist.
twilight gloomMizore
A foreboding atmosphere hangs over Tsutsu-Yami.
This track was created by Mizore, who has been uploading songs to YouTube since 2020.
First, the impactful sound stands out: it’s structured by alternating between a piano-led section and a drum-and-bass section.
Though different in flavor, both parts stoke a sense of unease.
Also pay attention to the lyrics, which are peppered with chilling words.
If you listen closely, a deeper message may come into view.
Imperial educationOmoi
From the opening alone you might think it’s loud rock, but the real charm of this song lies in its development.
The way the style rolls and shifts, paired with the repeated melodic lines, is addictive.
It’s a track by Omoi, the music unit of Sakurai and Kimura, released in 2019.
With philosophical lyrics and a highly refined music video, it’s an irresistibly compelling “yami” song no matter where you cut it.
DownerPolyphonicBranch
As the title suggests, it’s a very downer-style Vocaloid song.
It’s a track by PolyphonicBranch, a Vocaloid producer who has even made a major debut, released in 2020.
From the intro, a dark atmosphere starts to seep in.
However, the chorus is incredibly catchy, and you can really get into it.
The choice of words in the lyrics has a great sound to them, making you want to sing it yourself—that’s another charm.
The lyrics dwell on negative emotions, but I can’t help empathizing with these feelings.
