[Hits You Deeply] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (231–240)
I want to be poisoned by you and drown in it.Shikiura Sōgo
Sikura Sogo captivates listeners with a unique emotional expression centered on deep melancholy.
“I Want to Be Poisoned by You and Drown” is a Vocaloid track released on January 24, 2024.
Though just over two minutes long, it’s packed with a message that resonates.
This work stands out for its emotionally charged creativity, rendering a soundscape that expresses the complex feelings where love and hate intertwine.
The depiction of a mind tormented and tossed about by romance is striking.
If you want to be drawn into a whirlpool of emotion, this is a must-listen.
Look, look.Hiiragi Kirai
It’s a work that satirizes the craving for approval, with an incredibly addictive pull.
It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer Kirai Hiiragi—known for darker styles like “Bocca della Verità” and “Autophagy”—released in March 2023.
Overall, it’s a fast-tempo rock number, but it carries a chaos that can’t be summed up with that simple description.
The way it’s all tightly held together really feels quintessentially “Kirai Hiiragi.” And the lyrics, about waiting for others to notice you, are so sharp they hit you right in the chest.
A disease called pessimismMushi no shirase
Be sure to check out “A Disease Called Pessimism” released by Mushi no Shirase as well.
The “pessimism” in the title refers to the feeling of viewing the world as something unpleasant.
In the song, a man falls in love and realizes how wonderful life can be, but after many twists and turns, he ends up growing weary of life.
Its heartrending yet mysterious story will capture your heart.
Imagine what became of the male protagonist and what happened to him.
You might find some clues by watching the music video.
Fox deityKagishitoo
This is a captivating track set in a fantastical world inspired by a fox deity.
Created by Shito Kanigi, it was released in November 2024.
You’ll be drawn into the unique atmosphere woven by its mysterious melody and the vocals of the fox girl.
The lyrics unfold a mythic story infused with mad, obsessive love, letting you experience the sensation of drifting between reality and fantasy.
Highly recommended for those who enjoy eerie, foreboding tales—this song is sure to open up a new world for you.
LOVE&POPSAkumi
It might be a work you wouldn’t expect from the title.
It’s a track by Akumi, the Vocaloid producer also known for the hit “Angel,” released in June 2023.
Though “LOVE&POPS” has a very peaceful-sounding name, its tone and lyrics are heavy.
The decadent lyrics cut into the shadows of modern society and really hit home.
The arrangement, with its writhing bassline interlaced with laughter, sends chills down your spine.
You’ll find it hard to tear yourself away from this Vocaloid song, with its cool yet dark worldview.
vulgarUtsu P
“Gehin” has also received a huge response from overseas Vocaloid fans.
It’s a work by Utsu-P, who is also active in a band.
The song packs a serious punch: set to a heavy metal-style sound, it’s built around shouting words that might be considered “vulgar.” It’s a pretty unusual theme, right? But it doesn’t stop there—it also digs into “love” and “humanity.” It’s simply cool, and its message really grabs you.
Karakuri Pierrot40mP
I’m self-deprecatingly calling myself a “clown” for being led around by the person I like.
It’s one of 40mP’s signature songs—he’s also a composer active in the mainstream—and it was released in 2011.
It’s also included on his second album from the same year, “A Small Me and a Big World.” The stylish sound and bittersweet lyrics are a perfect match.
If you’re new to love, there may be parts you can relate to.
