[Hits You Deep] A Collection of Dark/Vocaloid Yami Songs (181–190)
The Good Child and the Fox SpiritKikuo
Even though just listening to the vocals or reading the lyrics can make you think, “How cute,” why does it still give you the creeps like this? It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer kikuo, known for avant-garde musicality, released in 2022.
The Japan-inspired tone and melody make you feel as if you’re witnessing a myth or an epic picture scroll.
Only kikuo could create a world like this, right? And be sure to pay attention to the emotional development after the final chorus—highly recommended!

Tenshō Shō Tenshōkikuo
This song, Kikuo’s 13th work, is one of the original Vocaloid tracks that has reached a million views.
The artwork is by Shiku, and the video was created by Kikuo.
If you’re curious about the incomprehensible lyrics in the latter half, try playing it in reverse—you’ll hear words come through.
The sound has a haunting, horror-like feel, but it’s addictive.
I bet many people feel like they could listen to it forever.
Vanishguchiri
The Vocaloid song I want people who feel lonely or isolated on dark nights to hear is “Vanish.” It was produced in 2022 by Guchiri, a Vocaloid producer known for delivering highly story-driven tracks to listeners.
The passionate band sound—blending rock and electronica—leaves a strong impression.
It paints a glossy, thrilling night and pairs perfectly with KAITO’s performance, which carries a touch of irony.
It’s a rock number that fits those nights when you just can’t shake a depressive mood.
If you find yourself thinking about the one you love without meaning to, be sure to give it a listen.
the end of the rainy seasonjippsu
The lyrics are filled with feelings for “you,” whom I can no longer meet.
It’s a song by Zipus, who is also the creator of the Heisei Project series, released in 2015.
The beautiful illustrations and the sound of the piano quietly seep deep into your heart.
The powerful, emotion-overflowing final chorus is a must-listen.
It’s the kind of song you’ll want to hear at the end of summer, when you’re feeling lonely.
Death-seeking Snow WhiteNa chirari P
A story of Snow White who longs to die.
Her desire for her own death makes her seem truly troubled.
The key point is that Snow White wishes for death of her own strong will, not as an escape from a fragile life.
You can picture a languidly beautiful princess with an apple lying by her side.
The sound is relentlessly cool, and the word choice in the lyrics is sophisticated—an ultra-stylish track.
Jack Coketanin-goto
You can’t help but get pulled in by the noisy vocal work.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Hitanegoto, released in 2021.
I’m hooked on the powerful, stylish sound—this is the very definition of “stylish.” It pairs perfectly with the saturated vocals, making it impossible not to hit repeat.
The lyrics are somewhat aggressive, with a fierce edge that pierces straight into your heart.
I’m introducing it as a “yami” (dark) song, but by the time it ends, you might find yourself thinking, “I’m going to do this too!” It’s an emotional piece.
Blank wordsŌnuma Paseri
When you feel a sense of instability about your own existence, this is the one to turn to.
It’s a Vocaloid track by Paseri Onuma, who’s active as a singer armed with stylish musicality, released in 2019.
The melody line is understated, the rhythm and sound are light, and the vocal delivery is almost like a murmur—yet where does this boundless depth and richness come from? It’s a world you simply can’t look or listen away from.
The more you listen closely, the more it pierces the heart—a high-sense, sophisticated Vocaloid song.
