[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (221–230)
From a soul even God won’t save, a revenge even God cannot achieve.shitoo
Even just the sound alone conjures an epic story.
Composed by the Vocaloid producer Shitoo, known for works like “404: Illusion” and “One-Eyed Ripper Murder Case,” the song was released in March 2023.
It was written as the theme for the voice drama “In Place of the Omniscient, Incompetent God,” which is available on YouTube.
The majestic tone and suggestive lyrics fit perfectly.
Of course, the track stands strong on its own, but do check out the voice drama as well.
Listening while imagining the relationships between the characters deepens your understanding of the worldbuilding.
I will teach you how to commit the perfect crime.jorujin
It’s a Vocaloid song that’s so scary you can’t take your ears—or eyes—off it.
Created by the Vocaloid producer Jorujin, also known under the name Ankoku Dowa-P (Dark Fairy Tale P), it was released in March 2023.
The lyrics are based on a trick featured in Soji Shimada’s novel The Tokyo Zodiac Murders, and… well, the content is quite violent, and revealing more would be a spoiler, so I can’t go into detail here.
Even the ominous title is intriguing, and I encourage you to uncover the truth for yourself.
If you’re a fan of detective fiction, this will definitely hit the mark!
Notoriousteniwoha
This is a song related to “Maimai Maigoen,” a mixed-media project spanning games, manga, and more.
Composed by the Vocaloid producer Teniwoha—also known for the massive hit “Villain”—it was released in March 2023.
The track was created with Aki, a character from “Maimai Maigoen,” as its theme.
She often acts with an artistic flair, but… I can’t say too much.
If you know the story, just reading the lyrics might hit you hard.
It’s a chilling Vocaloid track that draws you in with its stylish yet sickly, deranged atmosphere.
a charmnakiso
The title is read as “Omajinai,” but the ominous look of the characters grabs your attention.
It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Nakiso, also known for the smash hit “Dokuzu,” released in February 2023.
Despite the cute vocals and catchy melody, why does it make my chest feel so unsettled? The section after the first chorus where it drops to just bass and beat gives me chills.
But that’s exactly the kind of thing in Nakiso’s music that becomes addictive… Listen closely all the way to the very end!
severing ties; breaking off a friendshipnakiso
Renowned for its horror-themed world, “Zekko” (“Severed Ties”) is a track released by Nakiso, a Vocaloid producer known for crafting dark songs.
Centered on the theme of “絶交” (cutting off a relationship), the piece sings of deep hatred—ambiguously directed either at the other person or at oneself, which is a compelling touch.
Also noteworthy is the effective alternation between Kaai Yuki and NurseRobo_Type T, which further heightens the song’s eerie atmosphere.
The punchline is the same.nakiso x nou
This is a work released on Raison d’etre, a project channel where illustrator Nou creates music based on legendary creatures.
It was produced by Vocaloid producer Nakiso—known for major hits like “Dokuzu”—and released in April 2023.
The theme is Medusa, the monster who turns you to stone if you meet her gaze.
The arrangement, where the vocals and overall momentum steadily build and then drop all at once, feels quintessentially Nakiso.
The lyrics convey a sense of resignation—“no matter who comes, they’ll end up turned to stone anyway”—and the title, by extension, shows exceptional taste.

Sense of distance with artificial flowersnagisa
Set to technopop, it sings about emotional instability, the pain of not being loved, and the complex state of mind of not wanting to live yet not wanting to die.
It conveys the feeling of being eaten away by vague, murky emotions.
With skillful word choice, it expresses feelings that everyone experiences at least once.
