[Hits You Deeply] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (231–240)
A passing shower in the month of Minazuki (June)wiroha ringo
When you’re all by yourself, do you ever find yourself gradually feeling unwell for some reason? This piece is by Iroha Ringo, a popular Vocaloid producer known for works like “Aishite Knife.” It was released in 2019.
The song has a Japanese-style atmosphere that stirs a sense of wistfulness and tightens your chest as you listen.
The cool vocals are wonderful.
Innocent PaparazziNaisho no piasu
It’s a love song that’s catchy yet suspicious, cute yet scary.
Created by vocaloid producer Naisho no Pierce, known for tracks like “Surechigai Kirchhoff” and “Shabon,” it was released in June 2023.
It’s an easy-to-groove-to rock tune with a slightly retro vibe that makes your body sway on its own.
Kafu’s vocals have great bite and fit perfectly.
The lyrics are quite yandere, but I imagine many people can relate to those feelings.
I’ll go crazy.Kawasaki Nōchirasu
A bit provocative and almost as if it turns the melancholic spring air on its head, this song is a work by Kawasaki Nautilus, released in March 2023.
Its dynamic melody and Kafu’s energetic vocals stir the heart.
With the theme “a song about the strange people who appear in spring,” it vividly portrays the surge of sensitive feelings that wash over you in unguarded moments, offering an escape from the busyness of daily life.
Hear it once and you’ll find its rhythm irresistibly compelling—there’s a definite addictive quality hidden within.
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.
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.
karmaATOLS
Be sure to experience the intoxicating electric sound! This track by ATOLS, a Vocaloid producer whose unique musicality captivates fans, was released in 2022.
You’ll be drawn in by the contrast between the heavy low-end pressure and the catchy melodies and upper-layer synth phrases.
The worldview of the lyrics and the title featuring the word “Gō” (karmic burden/karma) also seem to be expressed through the song’s tone.
Listening on earphones or headphones might let you immerse yourself even deeper into “Karma.”
NecroATOLS
“Sequelae, Memorandum, Time Bomb” by Vocaloid producer Satsuki is a work that carefully portrays the darkness of the heart.
The first half depicts a gloomy mood over a near-futuristic sound.
Then, from the latter half, it modulates into an intense sound, culminating in a structure that showcases ultra high-speed vocals at the climax.
As you listen, try considering the meaning embedded in the title and in how the vocals are divided between Hatsune Miku and Kaai Yuki.
By the way, the latter half is quite fast-paced, so I recommend first listening to the MV with on-screen lyrics.
