Life expectancy: 2:30Pinokio P
Life is long yet short…
This is a Vocaloid song that makes you think and fills you with the feeling of “How should I live from here on?” It’s a track by PinocchioP, the Vocaloid producer behind hits like “Slow Motion” and “Ultimate Senpai,” released in 2022.
As the title suggests, it portrays the span from birth to death in a brief two minutes and thirty seconds.
Its cutting-edge concept and chill-tinged sound showcase PinocchioP’s remarkable musical sensibilities.
If you’re struggling with how to live your life, you should definitely give it a listen.
Caprice CastYugika
This is a dark Vocaloid track infused with hip-hop and EDM elements.
Created by Vocaloid producer Yugika, it was released in 2021.
With its hardcore-tinged sound, unpredictable development, and razor-sharp vocal work enhanced by high-pitched noise, it’s packed with appeal.
You can’t help but listen again and again.
The lyrics evoke troubled romance and barren human relationships, which may resonate especially with younger listeners.
It’s a highly sophisticated work whose unique worldview and soundscape are hard to escape from.
Parasitesekai no uragawa P
Although it’s a song about a troubled girl, Miku’s voice sounds gentle.
The bass and drum tones are refreshing, making it pleasant to listen to.
As the song progresses, the lyrics overflow with deeply dark, unhealthy words, yet when it ends, I find myself wanting to listen again.
EpilogueNaisho no piasu
It’s a song with a unique charm that becomes addictive for its lingering bittersweet aftertaste.
Created by Naisho no Pierce, it was released in September 2024.
KAFU’s emotionally charged vocals shape a deeply immersive world.
One of its appeals is the dynamic, band-driven sound.
The lyrics, depicting a farewell to a cherished person, are imbued with profound sorrow over lost love and a relationship that has come to an end.
It’s an emotional piece suffused with a sadness that feels like the closing chapter of a story.

fox fox foxwaaku
I’d like to introduce “Kitsune Kitsune Kitsune” as a song with a Japanese-style, dark atmosphere.
It’s a work produced by the Vocaloid producer Wao.
From the perspective of a protagonist burdened with feelings of inferiority, it portrays the envy they feel toward people who seem to be happily spending time together.
Depending on whether you interpret the title “Kitsune Kitsune Kitsune” as referring to a mythical fox spirit or to a person with a fox-like personality, the song may sound different.
Another highlight is how it uses Hatsune Miku to express vocal techniques like shakuri (scooping) and kobushi (melismatic ornamentation).
VitaHiiragi Kirai
When it comes to Vocaloid songs that keep you company on melancholic nights, “Vita” comes to mind.
Created in 2022 by Vocaloid producer Kirai Hiiragi, who provides songs to many vocalists, it resonates with a passionate sound set in a gothic world.
The song candidly expresses a troubled heart, making it something you’ll want to listen to on nights filled with loneliness or anxiety.
Also pay attention to flower’s performance, packed tightly with aching emotion.
It’s a deep track you’ll crave when you can’t stop overthinking.
Give this “yami” song a listen—one that stays close to feelings you can’t tell anyone about.
string telephoneLil Hyvää
A delicate, dreamlike Vocaloid track that pierces deep into the listener’s heart.
Created by Lil Hyvää, this piece was released in February 2025.
Its ephemeral sound—woven effectively with elements of electronica and dream pop—stands out, paired with Hatsune Miku’s whisper-like vocals.
Each note feels like it seeps into the depths of your chest.
It’s a song that gently stays by your side when your heart feels unsteady or when you’re trapped by painful memories.
