[Hits you hard] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (161–170)
SalomeCommand High Drink
A dark, deranged, and mysterious sound slips into your heart.
This is a work by Vocaloid producer ⌘Hainomi, released in February 2025.
MEIKO’s glossy vocals, the highly addictive melody, and a madness powerful enough to shake the listener’s soul…
It’s a highly sophisticated piece that makes you feel as if you’re peering into a mythic world.
When you want to surrender both body and mind to music, be sure to give this track a listen.
Poisonous possessivenessDECO*27
I think people who are possessive or self-centered can relate to this song.
It has a cool vibe, and the low tone right before the chorus is striking.
The theme is something like, “I can do anything for the one I love!!” Also, pay attention to the song structure where the tempo changes partway through!

drowning in waves of sorrowNeru
The high notes in the chorus draw you deeply into the world of the song.
The visual style of the music video is distinctive and incredibly compelling.
Everyday thoughts and feelings are expressed in an abstract way, and there are many parts I can relate to.
I recommend listening to it when you’re feeling frustrated.
glowkeeno
Memories that won’t disappear, no matter how hard I try to erase them.
Even though I know I’ll be hurt by half-hearted kindness, I still find myself wanting it.
I’ve known many kinds of pain, but this is the first time I’ve felt anything like this, and I don’t know what to do…
This song is about that kind of inner struggle.
It’s a pretty brooding theme.
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!
Lazily swayingCelery
This piece expresses a looping, circling state of mind by following the same melodic line.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Celery, released in June 2023.
The way candid feelings are laid over a simple arrangement makes it feel like you’re listening to the protagonist’s monologue.
“I don’t want to think about anything right now…” It’s perfect for that kind of mood.
The development toward the outro is especially captivating—an excellent Vocaloid song with great sensibility.
Teens, in particular, will likely relate.
