[Hits Hard] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (211–220)
Better Off WorseCircus-P
I think many people are drawn not to bright songs but to ones with shadows.
Creators understand this and deliberately keep making works with a darker mood… so what lies at the end of that path? This track is by CircusP—one of the overseas Vocaloid producers known for songs like “Crystalline”—and it was released in May 2023.
It’s a dance tune packed with tension and impact.
The chorus, in particular, overwhelms you as the vocals and sound come crashing in.
And its ironic, razor-sharp message really pierces the heart.
Heavenly YouLonePi
It’s a piece with a curious sense of floating, its snappy tones and whispers lingering in your ears.
The track is by Vocaloid producer LonePi, known for works like “Hydrangea” and “The Drowned Corpse Wants to Fall in Love,” and it was released in August 2023.
With intricate rhythmic work and an electric piano sound that darts left and right, the more you listen, the more you discover.
Rimuru’s innocent singing voice matches the mood perfectly.
Be sure to add this downer yet highly addictive song to your playlist.
Lion and TigerMisumi
It’s a dark electronic dance number that makes your heart race with its writhing bassline.
The track is by the Vocaloid producer Misumi, also known for the hit “Alter Ego,” and was released in March 2023.
The sound throughout is heavy and sinister, paired with Yukari Kaae’s childlike vocals to make the world of the song feel even more eerie.
In the latter half, the tempo speeds up, embodying the lyrics’ themes.
Turn up the volume and immerse yourself in the world of “Lion and Tiger.”
survivorshipRaity
This song expresses the anxiety and despair of wondering whether anyone would extend a helping hand to someone like me.
It was selected as the theme song for the free game “Bloodstained Flower.” As you play the game, the meaning of the lyrics gradually becomes clear.
Sweet-tooth GluttonyRokuba
The creator, Rokuba, says this song is themed around one of the Seven Deadly Sins: Gluttony.
I’m captivated by the pure tone of the piano and IA’s clear vocals.
The English pronunciation is very authentic.
It feels as thrilling as watching a story unfold in a theater.
mimic×holicVell
If you like “yami songs” (dark, depressive tracks), “mimic×holic” is a must-listen.
This piece is a song produced by Vell, and its lyrics depict a woman who changes parts of her face in pursuit of beauty.
In the title, “mimic” means to imitate, and “holic” indicates being addicted or obsessed.
From this, it can be inferred that the woman in the song wishes to become someone else.
The dark production elements—such as the sampled electrocardiogram sound in the interlude—are also highlights.
So-called angelVell
Since 2023, Vell has been uploading songs to YouTube and releasing one hit after another.
His track “Iwayuru Tenshi” is not to be missed.
It portrays a female character who claims to be an angel.
Watching the music video, you can tell she’s an adorable character.
However, in the latter half the key changes, and the lyrics reveal that she harbors darkness in her heart.
That duality, along with the highly addictive chorus that repeats the same words, is especially appealing.
Also, note that the lyrics change slightly in the final chorus.
