[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs
A huge number of Vocaloid songs are available online.
New tracks are constantly being created around themes like emotions, scenery, seasons, and events.
Among them, there are also many pieces known as “yami songs” (dark or depressive songs).
I bet quite a few people like that kind of music.
You might listen when you want something to empathize with your feelings, or play them when you want to think deeply and intensely.
So in this article, we’ll be introducing plenty of Vocaloid yami songs!

[Hits Home] A Selection of Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (201–210)

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.

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.

When you see someone below you, it makes you feel like you’re still okay, right? In the story, they vent their disgust at themselves for looking down on others to feel secure, and they struggle with that.
But the song gently comforts the listener, saying that this is a normal part of being human and encouraging them to accept themselves without forcing it.

I’m tired of life and want to rest a little…
but with so much to do, I can’t afford to take a break.
It’s a song filled with the feeling of wanting to cry, yet knowing that even if I shed tears, nothing will change—so I’ll just keep moving forward, relentlessly.
