[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Depressive Vocaloid Songs (251–260)
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.
EmblemATOLS
The lo-fi sound gives you chills.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer ATOLS—known not only for musical sensibility but also for a distinctive, off-the-beaten-path approach to music videos—released in 2021.
The song has a calm yet eerie tone, but there’s a strange allure that makes you want to keep listening.
The lyrics’ worldview is addictive, too—something you want to analyze and dissect.
It’s a very unique-feeling Vocaloid track that makes you want to stop thinking and just surrender yourself to the sound, swaying left and right like a candle.
FamiliaAira
This song poignantly portrays a lonely angel offering a prayer.
Released by Aira in October 2024, it quickly became a hot topic among Vocaloid fans.
Despite its lively feel, the arrangement has an oddly eerie edge, and IA’s tremble-tinged vocals linger in your ears.
The richly narrative lyrics leave a deep impression on listeners.
Be sure to listen while immersing yourself in the story—before you know it, you’ll be unable to escape its world.
Be My GuestAzari
It makes you want to crank the volume to the max and feel that swelling, wobbling bassline! This piece is by Azari, a Vocaloid producer known for a dark musical style, released in 2022.
If you’ve heard this sound arrangement even once, you can instantly tell, “This is an Azari track!” Perhaps because the number of elements is kept minimal, each individual timbre really stands out.
And the youthful, innocent-sounding vocals suit the mood of the track perfectly.
NightmareAzari
A wave of people are getting hooked on this dark electric tune! It’s a track by Azari, a popular Vocaloid producer with many overseas fans, released in 2022.
The heavy, thundering bass and flower’s noisy vocals leave a strong impression.
It feels like something is slowly closing in on you… Listening to it evokes that sensation, that fear.
Perhaps the very fear stirred up by the sound arrangement is the “Nightmare” itself.
