HeartbrokenPikon
A song that brings to mind nostalgic scenes of romance is “Shoshinchu” (“Heartbroken”).
It was produced in 2022 by Pikong, a Vocaloid producer known for crafting many thematically rich tracks.
The song portrays the feelings one has when leaving a town filled with memories of a loved one.
Many listeners will likely relate to the lingering desire of “I still want to see that person…” The airy synth tones that ring out over the driving beat are cool and evocative.

[Hits You Deep] A Special Feature on Dark/Themed Vocaloid Songs (311–320)
downtimeSorry
This is a rhythmical yet shadowy Vocaloid track themed around “downtime,” the period after cosmetic procedures until surgical marks and such settle.
It’s a work by the well-known Vocaloid producer Surii, famed for hits like “Telecaster B-Boy,” released in January 2023.
The intro’s synth sound rings out brightly with a suspicious allure—captivating on its own.
And then there’s the explosive power of the chorus: that catchy melodic line so characteristic of Surii sticks in your ears.
It’s a song you can enjoy by pondering the story or simply by reveling in the sound.
ElvioletRen
It’s a solemn Vocaloid track that pulls your attention into its sizzling, insistent beat.
Composed by Ren, the Vocaloid producer behind “Downer Witch” and “Sunset of Rêve,” it was released in April 2023.
The tempo is relaxed, yet unlike a ballad it maintains a constant sense of tension.
The lyrics, which express feelings for a loved one, have a touch of madness, and yet their beautiful wording and the song’s worldbuilding are utterly captivating.
The arrangement incorporating breath sounds is also superb.
greetingHiiragi Kirai
Kirai Hiiragi, who has produced many Hall of Fame tracks.
From his second album, I’d like to introduce “Greedin.” This song paints a highly original worldview and is said to carry the message that there is no hierarchy among people.
The repeated use of the title phrase in the lyrics is particularly striking and sticks in your ears.
Incidentally, “Greedin” can be taken as both a play on “greeting” and an original coinage based on the English word “greed.”
I found outShino Mirin
Its aggressive sound image and poetry-reading-like development are cutting-edge.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Mirin Shiino, who made a name with the hit “Well Then, I Hope Your Ideology Dies,” released in October 2022.
The sound arrangement feels like waves of audio crashing over you—absolutely superb.
It pairs seamlessly with the relentless vocal delivery, and before you know it, the roughly three-minute runtime has flown by.
The lyrics, which stimulate philosophical thought, are another major draw.
Add this one-of-a-kind Vocaloid track to your playlist.
Rights-Bought GirlUtsu-P
Vocaloid producer Utsu-P delivers rock sounds infused with loud and screamo to listeners.
Among his tracks, one that especially resonates with gloomy moods is “Purchased-Rights Girl,” produced in 2022.
Its passionate band sound, unfolding with a modern flair, leaves a strong impression.
It carries a powerful message from a woman living in a glamorous world.
It’s a number where you can fully savor Seikai’s singing—both cute and strong.
Give this energetic rock tune a listen; it wraps up feelings of loneliness and anxiety.
