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.
The Good Child and the Fox SpiritKikuo
Even though just listening to the vocals or reading the lyrics can make you think, “How cute,” why does it still give you the creeps like this? It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer kikuo, known for avant-garde musicality, released in 2022.
The Japan-inspired tone and melody make you feel as if you’re witnessing a myth or an epic picture scroll.
Only kikuo could create a world like this, right? And be sure to pay attention to the emotional development after the final chorus—highly recommended!
quietszri
Haven’t we all experienced feeling lonely at some point? Quiet captures that state of mind in a realistic and dark way.
The track was created by Vocaloid producer szri as an entry for the Rookie category of BokaColle 2023 Summer.
Set to an intense sound with rapidly shifting pitch, it features ultra-fast vocals.
That hallmark rapid-fire delivery unique to Vocaloid seems to express emotions overflowing.
Be sure to listen while following along with the lyrics.
Santa Muertewotaku
It’s a melodious, dark Vocaloid hip-hop track that makes you stop in your tracks and listen.
Created by the popular Vocaloid producer wotaku and released in June 2024, it portrays inner conflict about life and criticism of society over a downbeat track.
Harui’s cool vocals leave a striking impression.
If you listen to it alone in your room late at night, it’s sure to hit you especially hard.
Chiso-sama¿?
Expressions of apology and regret are repeated, piercing deeply into the listener’s heart.
“Chisosama,” released in June 2024 as a tie-in song for Sanrio’s media-mix project “Maimai Maigōen,” leaves a strong impression with v flower’s distinctive vocals and a tense, electronic sound that weaves an eerie atmosphere.
It’s frightening and addictive—a quintessential yami song.
The more you listen, the more it draws you in; that’s the kind of work this is.
