[Hits You Deeply] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (231–240)
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.
downtimesurii
This is a rhythmical yet shadowy Vocaloid track themed around “downtime,” the period after cosmetic procedures until surgical marks and such settle.
It’s a work by the well-known Vocaloid producer Surii, famed for hits like “Telecaster B-Boy,” released in January 2023.
The intro’s synth sound rings out brightly with a suspicious allure—captivating on its own.
And then there’s the explosive power of the chorus: that catchy melodic line so characteristic of Surii sticks in your ears.
It’s a song you can enjoy by pondering the story or simply by reveling in the sound.
[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (241–250)
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.
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.
