Magisawotaku
It’s already dark right from the intro.
This is a track by wotaku, a Vocaloid producer who’s also active as a member of the music unit Jimmy’z.
It was released in 2019.
It’s a high-velocity piece of electronic music.
The content might be perfect for the Halloween season.
Shadow Flame ≒ Variationyairi
Sung over a cool, driving guitar sound are themes of the meaning of life and emotional emptiness.
It’s a “yami” song that evokes sinking into sorrow and descending into madness.
Despite the intense tempo and dark lyrics, it somehow leaves you feeling oddly calm as you listen.
Everyone has felt betrayed by something at least once.
This song wraps around the heart’s scream in those moments.
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.
Jeni¿?
We Produce Empathetic Drama Content: “We Are Up All Night.” The third installment in the project that portrays the characters’ emotions is “Jenny.” This piece is a collaboration between Vocaloid producer ¿?Shimon and singer Eve Dot, and its lyrics—aimed at casting a provocative stone into society—have sparked a huge response.
The ultra-deep bass sound is another major draw.
You can ponder the lyrics, or simply enjoy swaying your body to the heavy low end.
Lucifer¿?shimon
The thick, dubstep-infused sound work is irresistible! It’s a track by Vocaloid producer ¿?shimon, released in 2022.
Centered on the fallen angel “Lucifer,” the piece embraces a dark worldview.
That mood comes through in the sound arrangement as well, with a glitch-like mix that chops up aggressive sounds—super cool! And the explosive chorus and groovy progression feel packed with ¿?shimon’s sensibilities.
It’s a polished Vocaloid track that seems compelling no matter which part you take.
egonomyت
I think you’ll be hooked within the first 10 seconds! It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer ت, who drew attention with their debut song “Alma,” released in February 2022.
The relentless sound arrangement and melody throughout are absolutely overwhelming.
The lyrics, filled with irony and clever wordplay, are another major draw.
Kafu’s razor-sharp vocals fit perfectly.
Just like what’s expressed in this song, I can’t help but feel I might be a bundle of ego myself… You might be left with something stirring in your chest after you finish listening.
DAFTCommand High Drink
Crank up the volume to fully savor this track! It’s a piece by Vocaloid producer ⌘Hainomi, released in 2022.
With a surging bass, unstable pitch lines, and suave horn-section phrases, it never gets old.
The explosive chorus and dance-inducing developments are great, too.
There’s also a solid dose of that “yami-song” vibe: ironically calling the world you live in “wonderful.” All in all, a highly addictive Vocaloid number!
