[Hits You Hard] Vocaloid Dark/Depressive Song Special (281–290)
EternityCommand High Drink
For those who carry truths they can’t tell anyone, I recommend the Vocaloid song “Eternity.” Created in 2022 by Vocaloid producer ⌘Hainomi, who captivates listeners with music that’s beautiful yet barbed, it resounds with a dazzling, dynamic electro sound.
Many will relate to its message that challenges the majority.
The refreshing melody, expressing a transparent heart, pairs perfectly with KAFU’s vocals.
It’s a track that gently embraces the loneliness and solitude felt by those in the minority.
an inferior product; something poorly madeCommand High Drink
If you’re looking for a song that gives you the chills, I also recommend “Fudekimono.” It’s a track released by the Vocaloid producer ⌘Hainomi, who debuted in 2021.
It features an intense, chaotic sound and high-register vocals using Kasane Teto.
The lyrics depict the act of popping a blemish, and they really spark your imagination about what the blemish—and the liquid that bursts out—might symbolize.
Be sure to listen along with the unsettling music video.
Kaiju ZCommand High Drink
You won’t want to miss the message-rich Vocaloid track “Kaiju Z.” This work was released by ⌘Hainomi, known for producing many stylish songs.
The lyrics depict a protagonist tormented by a kaiju, while also raising the question of whether the kaiju might actually be on the protagonist’s side.
What is the kaiju a metaphor for, and what kind of situation is the protagonist in? Listen while letting your imagination roam.
The laid-back, slackened vocal delivery is another highlight.
chocolate milkapuera
This is a track released in 2019 under the alternate alias “Apuera” by the Vocaloid producer Aqu3ra.
The calmly unfolding melody and ambient atmosphere really sink into your heart.
Alone in a room where “you” are no longer present—the imagery that arises is so bittersweet.
If you’ve recently gone through a breakup, I highly recommend giving it a listen.
Attempted Murder in the Name of Love ~Satsuren Misui~anchan-san
It’s IA’s Yandere Rock.
Every note is cool.
You can enjoy it both as a yandere song and as a love song.
It’s a highly narrative track in which love slips over the line and leads to a “failed murder-love attempt.” Now then, what exactly is a “failed murder-love attempt”? And how is it different from ordinary love?
I shouldn’t have said it.ibusuki
Don’t you have those kinds of regrets too? It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Ibusuki, released in 2021.
It’s one song from a project where Junnosuke Taguchi collaborated with various Vocaloid producers.
Set to a four-on-the-floor beat with an ennui-tinged vibe, the piano tones resonate with aching sadness.
And then there’s that one line you let slip—an irreparable regret… Thinking about the protagonist’s feelings woven into the lyrics makes your chest ache.
If you’ve recently gone through a breakup, this might just move you to tears.
overwritingiyowa
It’s a Vocaloid song with a bittersweet worldview where feelings hidden deep in the heart overflow.
Released by Iyowa in August 2024, it’s a duet between Hatsune Miku and Hanakuma Chifuyu, and the theme of “overwriting” memories and emotions is striking.
You’re drawn into the imagery—like the scent of cicadas and the shoreline—that symbolizes the end of a passing summer.
The melancholic tone, centered on piano, is layered with Iyowa’s signature unstable, wavering melody, piercing deeply into the listener’s heart.
It’s a song that gently stays close to those carrying painful memories and regrets.
