[Hits You Deeply] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (231–240)
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.
LOVE&POPSAkumi

It might be a work you wouldn’t expect from the title.
It’s a track by Akumi, the Vocaloid producer also known for the hit “Angel,” released in June 2023.
Though “LOVE&POPS” has a very peaceful-sounding name, its tone and lyrics are heavy.
The decadent lyrics cut into the shadows of modern society and really hit home.
The arrangement, with its writhing bassline interlaced with laughter, sends chills down your spine.
You’ll find it hard to tear yourself away from this Vocaloid song, with its cool yet dark worldview.
karmaATOLS

Be sure to experience the intoxicating electric sound! This track by ATOLS, a Vocaloid producer whose unique musicality captivates fans, was released in 2022.
You’ll be drawn in by the contrast between the heavy low-end pressure and the catchy melodies and upper-layer synth phrases.
The worldview of the lyrics and the title featuring the word “Gō” (karmic burden/karma) also seem to be expressed through the song’s tone.
Listening on earphones or headphones might let you immerse yourself even deeper into “Karma.”
FamiliaAira

This song poignantly portrays a lonely angel offering a prayer.
Released by Aira in October 2024, it quickly became a hot topic among Vocaloid fans.
Despite its lively feel, the arrangement has an oddly eerie edge, and IA’s tremble-tinged vocals linger in your ears.
The richly narrative lyrics leave a deep impression on listeners.
Be sure to listen while immersing yourself in the story—before you know it, you’ll be unable to escape its world.
Be My GuestAzari

It makes you want to crank the volume to the max and feel that swelling, wobbling bassline! This piece is by Azari, a Vocaloid producer known for a dark musical style, released in 2022.
If you’ve heard this sound arrangement even once, you can instantly tell, “This is an Azari track!” Perhaps because the number of elements is kept minimal, each individual timbre really stands out.
And the youthful, innocent-sounding vocals suit the mood of the track perfectly.
