[Hits You Deep] A Selection of Dark/Venty Vocaloid Songs (301–310)
the forty-ninth day (memorial service)Shannon
Shijukunichi (Forty-Ninth Day) resonates with phrases that stay close to the hearts of those who feel loneliness or solitude.
Created in 2022 by Shannon, a Vocaloid producer who mainly works with GUMI, the piece features an impressionistic piano tone that gently envelops the rap-like lyrics.
The work draws you into its world, unfolding a beautiful yet heartrending story.
You’ll find a deep message that feels as if someone is speaking to you—or as if you’re facing yourself.
Be sure to listen for the rich harmonies sung by Hatsune Miku and GUMI.
mimic×holicVell
If you like “yami songs” (dark, depressive tracks), “mimic×holic” is a must-listen.
This piece is a song produced by Vell, and its lyrics depict a woman who changes parts of her face in pursuit of beauty.
In the title, “mimic” means to imitate, and “holic” indicates being addicted or obsessed.
From this, it can be inferred that the woman in the song wishes to become someone else.
The dark production elements—such as the sampled electrocardiogram sound in the interlude—are also highlights.
Look, look.Hiiragi Kirai
It’s a work that satirizes the craving for approval, with an incredibly addictive pull.
It’s a song by the Vocaloid producer Kirai Hiiragi—known for darker styles like “Bocca della Verità” and “Autophagy”—released in March 2023.
Overall, it’s a fast-tempo rock number, but it carries a chaos that can’t be summed up with that simple description.
The way it’s all tightly held together really feels quintessentially “Kirai Hiiragi.” And the lyrics, about waiting for others to notice you, are so sharp they hit you right in the chest.
ImdraSumia
By all means, check out this aggressive, hard‑charging electronic music! It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Sumia—also known for “Cradle” and “RACHE”—released in October 2022.
The way the sound flows and unfolds is insanely cool; you won’t be able to stop turning up the volume.
The pairing of the hardcore soundscape with flower’s understated vocals is a perfect match.
While I’m introducing it as a “yami” (dark) song because of its moody atmosphere, I actually think it’s perfect for cranking up your energy!
KureiNuyuri
It might especially resonate with those who create.
This is a work by Nuyuri, a popular Vocaloid producer who also operates as part of the music project Lanndo, released in 2022.
It’s a stylish Vocaloid track that unfolds around a somewhat shadowy band sound.
The lyrics feel like an inner monologue, making them highly relatable—if you’re carrying an “unshakable longing,” you’ll understand.
The interlude is a must-listen, with its repeating piano phrase and noisy guitar solo—the contrast is incredibly cool!
Blank wordsOnuma Parsley
When you feel a sense of instability about your own existence, this is the one to turn to.
It’s a Vocaloid track by Paseri Onuma, who’s active as a singer armed with stylish musicality, released in 2019.
The melody line is understated, the rhythm and sound are light, and the vocal delivery is almost like a murmur—yet where does this boundless depth and richness come from? It’s a world you simply can’t look or listen away from.
The more you listen closely, the more it pierces the heart—a high-sense, sophisticated Vocaloid song.
Pitch blackAkane Yomitan
A track steeped in a theme of “darkness,” suffused with helplessness and a sense of claustrophobia.
Composed by Akane Yomitan and released in August 2024, it’s a high-style number whose minimal, unsettling electronica sound lingers in the ear.
Kudzayaon’s noisy vocal work is striking as well.
The lyrics portray “darkness” from multiple angles, depicting a struggle to grasp one’s inner truth beneath it all.
Perfect for moments of deep contemplation or when you want something to sit with your feelings.
