[Hits You Deep] A Selection of Dark/Venty Vocaloid Songs (301–310)
neat freaksukoppu
Especially if you’re in your teens, haven’t you ever felt that something is wrong with this society? This is a song I want those people to listen to at least once.
Created by the popular Vocaloid producer Scop, also known for “Marionette Syndrome,” it was released in 2012.
The cold, detached sound and the matter-of-fact melody are striking.
It’s included on the compilation album “EXIT TUNES PRESENTS Vocalosensation feat.
Hatsune Miku.”
Living Dead Banditsupiichan
A socially conscious, yandere-tinged zombie panic metal track.
Created by Supii-chan and released in February 2024.
Its high-speed development, KAFU’s cool vocals, and rhythmic instrumentation fuse into an addictive listen.
There are shout sections too, and their sheer impact is devastating.
The music video, inspired by screens from various game genres, is also captivating.
A recommended song for anyone looking to explore a new style of Vocaloid.
Horror Gardenchaa
It’s a horror-style track.
This is an astounding piece by Chaa, who’s well known for crafting eccentric, denpa-style songs.
The dissonance gives you the creeps.
The highlight is how Rin’s innocent voice blends with lyrics that lay bare twisted desires.
If you like a little-devil Rin who lifts you up only to drop you down, this one’s for you!
Bradburyteniwoha
This is Teniwoha’s “Bradbury,” a song you can’t help but listen to from beginning to end without missing a beat.
It features flower’s punchy high-tone vocals, and the way the layers build up at a brisk tempo feels incredibly satisfying.
The cleverly calculated, rhymed lyrics that repeat the same sounds—one of Teniwoha’s specialties—are impressive as always.
The lyrics and mood are dark, yet somehow you can’t help but groove to it—truly a god-tier track! Teniwoha also sings this song himself, and that version is cool and highly recommended too.
I don’t want it, I don’t want it, I don’t want it.toa
When it comes to songs that gently accompany your anxious heart, “I Don’t Need It, I Don’t Need It, I Don’t Need It” comes to mind.
Created in 2022 by toa, a Vocaloid producer with many signature tracks, it’s a heartwarming piece featuring beautiful strings and piano tones.
The lyrics, which portray pure feelings for someone dear, are truly heart-melting.
Together with Seikai’s clear, crystalline vocals, it’s sure to soothe your soul.
This is a Vocaloid song you’ll want to listen to especially when you’re feeling worn out.
Why not lend an ear to its melody that softly wraps around loneliness and solitude?
massacre (literally: “kill everyone”; often written 皆殺し)nakiso
The song “Minagoroshi” by Vocaloid producer Nakiso was released in February 2024.
Its spine-tingling sound arrangement and Yuki Kaai’s innocent vocals create a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.
Not only the musical style but each lyric feels raw; though it’s a “yami-song” (dark, depressive track), it carries a bittersweet, beautiful mood.
From this work—an intricate blend of gentleness and madness—you can sense Nakiso’s unfathomable punk spirit.
Ilianuyuri
Nuyuri, who is active as a singer-songwriter and Vocaloid producer, created his first original song using Fuka, titled “Iria.” The lyrics depict the darkness of the human heart.
As you listen, it becomes clear that the protagonist feels guilty and has committed some kind of wrongdoing.
Since it doesn’t over-explain, listeners can expand their own interpretations and empathize more deeply, which is great.
By the way, the title seems to be either a third-person plural form or a personal name.
