[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!

Let’s take a peek into the deep, rich world of the Vocaloid scene!

[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (221–230)

Vell – So-Called Angel feat. Hatsune Miku

Since 2023, Vell has been uploading songs to YouTube and releasing one hit after another.

His track “Iwayuru Tenshi” is not to be missed.

It portrays a female character who claims to be an angel.

Watching the music video, you can tell she’s an adorable character.

However, in the latter half the key changes, and the lyrics reveal that she harbors darkness in her heart.

That duality, along with the highly addictive chorus that repeats the same words, is especially appealing.

Also, note that the lyrics change slightly in the final chorus.

Also known as Gyaku-Shoudou-P, John included the track “BLINDNESS” on his album EXIT TUNES PRESENTS Supernova.

It’s a high-tempo song that pairs Hatsune Miku’s high-tone vocals with an energetic sound.

While it’s rhythmical and pleasant to listen to, the lyrics present a hard-hitting depiction of how difficult the world can be.

The more you listen, the more depth you can feel in its painful, sorrowful words.

Kikuo – Just like that, just like that, just like that forever, just like that

An artistic Vocaloid track that sends chills down your spine.

It’s a song by Kikuo, a Vocaloid producer who’s drawing attention from music fans overseas, released in August 2023.

The production process is showcased on the online course platform Coloso.

It’s pastoral yet shadowy, eerie, and fantastical—a worldview that words can’t fully capture.

This is exactly what “Kikuo’s music” feels like, isn’t it? I bet many people are curious about how Kikuo makes his songs.

Be sure to check out Coloso.

Kikuo, a Vocaloid producer whose originality has drawn international attention.

In March 2023, he released “Kaeru no Odori,” a track that pulls you into its oriental atmosphere.

You can’t help but get absorbed in its folk-influenced, richly layered sound arrangement.

It’s like you’re listening to music yet feel as if you’re reading a book of myths.

Pay attention to the hardcore developments in the latter half, too.

Dive into Kikuo’s world! The high-quality animated music video is also a must-see.

Eroding Worldkurai haruto

A track that evokes madness with sandstorm-like noise and repeating high tones.

As an instrument, the vocaloid—GUMI’s voice—gives me chills.

The sensation that the listener’s breathing and heartbeat are being controlled feels exactly like the “world” is being “eroded,” and it becomes irresistible.
