[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs

My 3-Meter-Tall Girlfriend [Hatsune Miku]

While evoking the feel of “Minna no Uta,” it portrays a thoroughly warped world.

As the title suggests, the lyrics feature a “me” with a lover, calmly describing her, but the atmosphere grows increasingly ominous, making it impossible to stop listening.

The lyrics are distinctive, of course, but Miku’s pure voice is also a highlight.

The tone of the low brass is pleasant as well.

[96Neko] Tried singing 'Repeat One Grain'

This is a song about realizing you were nothing more than a convenient presence to the other person.

It’s a track by Nekomushi-P, the well-known Vocaloid producer behind “Wanwan-o Nyannyan-o,” released in 2010.

Despite its catchy melody, it conveys a crushing sense of heartbreak.

If you’ve recently gone through a breakup, you might find something to relate to in it.

Zaisou’s “Let’s Give Up” is a track released in July 2024.

Set to Hatsune Miku’s vocals, it weaves a fantastical yet deranged world that grabs listeners by the heart.

The lyrics, which depict the protagonist breaking into a home, create an intensely serious atmosphere.

The spoken-word sections make the worldview feel even more real.

If you like scary-style Vocaloid songs, this is one you should definitely hear.

Listening alone late at night might send chills down your spine.

Even though it’s titled “Refreshing and Exhilarating,” the fact that I’m introducing it as a yami song—that is, a dark, depressive track—means there’s a gap between the title’s image and the actual content.

It’s a song by Tsumikusa, a Vocaloid producer known for a dark style, released in June 2024.

With its majestic choral work that lingers in your ears, it’s a Vocaloid track that makes you feel like you’ve “seen something you shouldn’t have.” Why does the protagonist feel so “refreshingly exhilarated,” I wonder… Watch it alongside the MV and let your imagination wander through the story.

Neru – かなしみのなみにおぼれる (Drowning in a Wave of Sadness) feat. Kagamine Len

The high notes in the chorus draw you deeply into the world of the song.

The visual style of the music video is distinctive and incredibly compelling.

Everyday thoughts and feelings are expressed in an abstract way, and there are many parts I can relate to.

I recommend listening to it when you’re feeling frustrated.
