[Hits You Deep] A Selection of Dark/Venty Vocaloid Songs (301–310)
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!
Blind Monsterhiragi
We’d like to introduce “The Blind Monster,” a song by Hiragi that draws you into a unique world.
Released in February 2024, it placed 7th in the Rookie division of VOCACOLE 2024 Winter.
The lyrics portray inner conflict, such as self-denial and loathing toward society.
The melody is rhythmic yet tinged with melancholy, and Hatsune Miku’s translucent vocals make it even more captivating.
Its message—like a cauldron boiling in the depths of the heart—feels like it could stand by you through difficult days.
It’s a decadent yet piercingly moving Vocaloid work.

With a single heart of minemasa
Masa writes lyrics and music, arranges, and even creates the videos himself—and on top of that, he’s a highly prolific Vocaloid producer.
He’s posted multiple songs in various series.
Here’s the first track from a story about a certain pair of sisters.
The Japanese-style sounds are addictively catchy.
Related works include “Watashi no Nanatsu no Oiwai ni” and “Watashi wa Futari no Oiwai ni.”
merry bad endmafumafu
This is “Merry Bad End,” a work by Mafumafu, a singer-songwriter who has provided songs to numerous artists.
It’s said to depict human psychology within a group, and there may be many who share the same feelings as portrayed here.
Some listeners might even find courage through this song.
Using Hatsune Miku, it vividly captures that dark world.
It conveys such a real sense of a girl’s perspective that it’s hard to believe it was created by a man.
I’m addicted.Mikito P
The sorrow of heartbreak can be overwhelming, right? With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “I’m Addicted.” It’s a song that likens the protagonist’s longing for a loved one to an “addiction.” The track is by Mikito-P, and it’s packed with his hallmark realistic psychological portrayals.
There are both a Hatsune Miku version and an Uramei version, so you can compare them.
Also, pay attention to the message that appears when you turn on Japanese subtitles on YouTube.
It shares behind-the-scenes details about the production, so definitely check it out.
SayokoMikito P
This is a “yami” song that pursues realism, singing about the darkness in a girl’s heart.
Days when it feels like your very self is being denied.
That sinking feeling we’ve all experienced at least once.
Even when you live a life with no particular hardships, there are times when, as if suddenly attacked by something, you end up hating everything.
This song gives voice to a girl’s anguished cry in such moments, carried on a distinctive melody.
Pity is kawaii ♡mitsu akuma
This work incisively probes loneliness and anxiety from a contemporary perspective.
It’s a track by Mitsu Akuma, released in September 2024.
Despite its pop sound, the lyrics—centered on themes like the hunger for validation and a lack of self-esteem—really hit home.
It offers a critical view of online society while revealing the struggles of young people living within it.
Hatsune Miku’s husky vocals further accentuate the protagonist’s isolation.
A highly addictive Vocaloid song that digs into the emotions buried deep within people living today.
