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.
Fox deityKagishitoo
This is a captivating track set in a fantastical world inspired by a fox deity.
Created by Shito Kanigi, it was released in November 2024.
You’ll be drawn into the unique atmosphere woven by its mysterious melody and the vocals of the fox girl.
The lyrics unfold a mythic story infused with mad, obsessive love, letting you experience the sensation of drifting between reality and fantasy.
Highly recommended for those who enjoy eerie, foreboding tales—this song is sure to open up a new world for you.
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.
