[Hits You Deep] A Collection of Dark/Vocaloid Yami Songs (181–190)
Black OutAzari
When you say “a Vocaloid song with no video title,” most people can probably guess whose work it is.
It’s a track by Azari, a Vocaloid producer with many fans overseas, released in May 2022.
The electric sound is irresistible—less “cool” than downright “cold.” Its dark worldview, the lyrics that nimbly weave rhymes, and the melody are all captivating.
If this was your first time discovering Azari, be sure to check out other works like “Nightmare.”
Whisper Whisper WhisperAzari
Azari, who has produced many songs with a dark worldview.
The piece he created using flower and Kaai Yuki is “Whisper Whisper Whisper.” Throughout the song, words reminiscent of the Bible are used to depict forbidden relationships and feelings of guilt.
The lyrics are rich in metaphor, so your imagination will expand as you listen.
Also, pay attention to whether flower and Kaai Yuki are singing from the perspectives of different people or portraying two sides of the same person.
MonsterKIRA
This is KIRA’s 2017 piece “MONSTER,” featuring GUMI.
It’s an amazing song where she describes herself not as an ordinary girl but as a monster, asking whether you’re ready to be with her.
As you can see from the video, despite the delicate lines, there’s a heavy, striking presence that gives off an unmistakably extraordinary vibe.
Having GUMI’s cute voice sing these slightly scary lyrics creates a mischievous, little-devil feel that makes it all the more addictive.
It’s a solid, cool work that showcases KIRA’s worldview—something you don’t really find in the Japanese music scene—shaped by the fact that she lives in Germany!
true identityRiei
I wonder what my true self really is—if you’re a junior or senior high school student, you might be struggling with that question.
This song is here to stay close to those feelings.
It’s a piece by Vocaloid producer Riei, released in 2022.
A heart-wrenching rock ballad where band sounds blend with the timbre of piano.
Hatsune Miku’s straightforward vocals shine against the arrangement, and before you know it, your tears start to well up as you listen.
Rather than chasing a definite answer, why not first listen to this track and let it calm your heart?
Ubumekojika
A track produced by Vocaloid creator kojika, released in October 2024.
Its post-rock vibe and breathy Hatsune Miku vocals are striking, drawing you into an emotional soundscape.
The lyrics are also notable, packed to the brim with feelings of disgust and pent-up frustration.
It’s perfect for times when you’re carrying darkness in your heart or want to escape from reality.
Highly recommended for deep listening with headphones or earphones.
Mélusinen-buna
It’s a Vocaloid song with stunning visuals.
The lyrics are quite dark and disturbed, but the melody, the illustrations used in the piece, and the overall atmosphere of the video are wonderful, giving it a strong sense of aesthetic refinement.
I recommend it to anyone who likes downer-style guitar rock.
quietszri
Haven’t we all experienced feeling lonely at some point? Quiet captures that state of mind in a realistic and dark way.
The track was created by Vocaloid producer szri as an entry for the Rookie category of BokaColle 2023 Summer.
Set to an intense sound with rapidly shifting pitch, it features ultra-fast vocals.
That hallmark rapid-fire delivery unique to Vocaloid seems to express emotions overflowing.
Be sure to listen while following along with the lyrics.
