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.
Antithesis, you cur.syudou
How about a suspicious-sounding waltz? It’s a track by syudou, a popular Vocaloid producer known for songs like “Bitter Choco Decoration,” released in 2015.
It sings of frustration toward others.
The content is aggressive, but many people can probably relate.
It’s annoying when people nitpick you from the outside, isn’t it?
Day by Daysyudou
Even though we’re always together, my heart isn’t fulfilled at all… This piece depicts an empty, hollow inner world.
Created by the Vocaloid producer syudou—also known for working on Ado’s hit song “Usseewa”—it was released in 2022.
It’s packed with syudou’s signature touches: jittery beats, ominous-sounding synth phrases, a writhing bassline, and rapid-fire melodies.
Many people have fallen into this worldview and can’t get out… needless to say.

Bad personsyudou
This is a Vocaloid song that portrays a precarious relationship between two people.
It’s a track by syudou, the Vocaloid producer who rose to fame with the explosive hit “Bitter Choco Decoration,” released in 2020.
The sound arrangement is lively, yet it conveys more darkness than brightness.
Hatsune Miku’s cute vocals, on the contrary, feel eerie.
The more you unravel the lyrics’ meaning, the deeper you sink into the song’s world—a bottomless Vocaloid track.
Be sure to savor both the sound and the words carefully.
Phenomenonszri
A high-sense Vocaloid track that overwhelms you with its breakneck development.
Composed by szri and released in February 2024, it ranked 26th in the VOCACOLLE 2024 Winter TOP 100.
The arrangement is incredible, with waves of sound surging in from the very beginning.
The hardcore beat envelops your whole body.
You can even feel the protagonist’s inner world—loneliness and inner turmoil as written in the lyrics—radiating from the sound itself.
Sebastianwotaku
What’s become a hot topic for being both terrifying and heartrending is “Sebastian.” It’s a track produced by the popular Vocaloid creator wotaku.
The lyrics take the form of a letter from a deceased butler to his young lady—a perspective that’s quite uncommon.
The message unfolds with the butler’s concern for her, while weaving in horror elements and eerie words.
It’s also fun to listen while imagining what might have happened to the characters.
