fool; simpleton; blockheadisonosuke
Isonosuke’s Vocaloid track “Bongu” (Fool) was released on January 31, 2024.
Centered on the themes of not knowing, not understanding, and misunderstanding, it delves into subtle everyday emotions and thoughts while conveying a message that resonates with listeners.
Its refined sonic texture is another reason it draws you in.
Experience this unique musical world that evokes the struggles and introspection of people in contemporary society.
[Hits You Deep] A Special Feature on Dark/Venty Vocaloid Songs (261–270)
Don’t tell clumsy lies.ive
The repeating piano phrase, symphonic strings, and Hatsune Miku’s fragile vocals leave a strong impression.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer ive, released in 2019.
The lyrics, with their dark word choices—enough to make you think of a “night without a single light”—really pierce the heart.
Yet what comes through is a single-minded devotion to someone precious.
Fear and wistfulness intermingle, creating a unique atmosphere.
It’s a gloomy song that might make you cry before you even realize it.
happinessjohn
A song I want those who tend to feel weighed down precisely because they care deeply about someone to hear is “Shiawase.” It was produced in 2022 by john, an artist engaged in a wide range of musical activities, including organizing DJ events.
The heavy, resonant electronica pairs perfectly with Hoshikai’s mechanical vocals.
It delivers a tender yet bittersweet message that stays close to a partner who has overcome many hardships.
With its passionate musical development, it’s a track overflowing with love for someone dear.
As you listen, picture two people desperately surviving together in a dark world.
Demon LordKanaria
When you think of “yami songs” (dark-themed songs), you might picture something messy or scary.
However, if you really pursue those elements, don’t they also lead to a kind of coolness? With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “Demon Lord.” It’s a work released by the Vocaloid producer Kanaria.
While the story isn’t spelled out in detail, the lyrics depict the protagonist attempting to take revenge on the world.
Its unsettling yet cool atmosphere gives it the impression of a dark hero.
Stoke the blue.keeno
When it comes to Vocaloid songs that capture the sweet, bittersweet feeling of a first love in youth, “Aoi wo Tabete” comes to mind.
Created in 2022 by keeno, a Vocaloid producer known for many signature tracks, it portrays pure emotions directed toward a loved one and sings of heart-wrenchingly sorrowful moments.
You’ll also find comfort in Hatsune Miku’s clear, translucent vocals carried by a band performance infused with beautiful piano tones.
It’s a ballad that gently stays close to the loneliness and aching feelings of heartbreak.
Why not listen while picturing the protagonist longing for the rain?
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.
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?
