[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Depressive Vocaloid Songs (251–260)
Ubumekojika
A track produced by Vocaloid creator kojika, released in October 2024.
Its post-rock vibe and breathy Hatsune Miku vocals are striking, drawing you into an emotional soundscape.
The lyrics are also notable, packed to the brim with feelings of disgust and pent-up frustration.
It’s perfect for times when you’re carrying darkness in your heart or want to escape from reality.
Highly recommended for deep listening with headphones or earphones.
re-restartkyko
I’m completely taken by the lo-fi guitar sound.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer kyko, released in 2021.
The sonic palette is very simple, yet it has remarkable depth.
The lyrics capture the everyday routine, vague anxieties, and those sudden pangs of loneliness—things that are easy to relate to.
It really hits especially hard when you’re zoning out in your room, doing nothing in particular.
Highly recommended if you like alternative rock.
Mélusinen-buna
It’s a Vocaloid song with stunning visuals.
The lyrics are quite dark and disturbed, but the melody, the illustrations used in the piece, and the overall atmosphere of the video are wonderful, giving it a strong sense of aesthetic refinement.
I recommend it to anyone who likes downer-style guitar rock.
Theater Love Songn-buna
A “sick song” that rides on exhilarating rock sounds to sing about the pain of living without being honest with your own heart.
In the end, the heart loses its color, and you can no longer tell who you are.
Will you fight, or will you run? It expresses the depths of a wavering human heart.
Why not immerse yourself in this world that makes your body ache from the inside?
Dirge contextnekobolo
Although illustrations are common in the Vocaloid scene, this track uses live-action footage, which makes the lyrics feel more realistic.
Within its stylish melody and sound, it seems packed with overflowing emotion.
It’s an addictive electronic number.
I hate itotetsu
A dark, illness-themed song resounding with deathly sounds.
It conveys the anger everyone harbors and the heart’s anguished cries, carried on a unique sonic image.
It takes courage to listen, but once you do, you’ll be instantly drawn into its world.
There are some grotesque elements in the expressions.
If you’re okay with that, please give it a listen.
Jude, my boyfriendsyudou
How about a Vocaloid song with a shocking ending? It’s a track by syudou, the Vocaloid producer also known for working on Ado’s smash hit “Usseewa,” released in 2021.
The arrangement is lively, but there’s this suspicious, eerie atmosphere—hard to put into words.
It feels as if you can see right through what’s going on in the “boyfriend’s” head in this song.
It’s like an answer song to “Cute na Kanojo,” so try listening to them together.
