You can’t help but get pulled in by the noisy vocal work.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Hitanegoto, released in 2021.
I’m hooked on the powerful, stylish sound—this is the very definition of “stylish.” It pairs perfectly with the saturated vocals, making it impossible not to hit repeat.
The lyrics are somewhat aggressive, with a fierce edge that pierces straight into your heart.
I’m introducing it as a “yami” (dark) song, but by the time it ends, you might find yourself thinking, “I’m going to do this too!” It’s an emotional piece.
Is it still okay for me to live?Tohta Kasamura
When it comes to Vocaloid songs that help you learn to love your true self, “Soredemo Ikitete Ii Desu ka” (“Is It Still Okay for Me to Live?”) comes to mind.
Created in 2022 by Vocaloid producer Kasamura Tota, who gained attention with youth-themed tracks, the song lays bare sincere feelings that are hard to express in everyday life.
KAF’s poignant vocals, carried by beautiful piano tones, are sure to soothe you.
It’s a piece whose sound gently wraps around the honest emotions in your heart.
Give it a listen when you want a good cry or are in a melancholic mood.
Rem's MagicTohta Kasamura
When you’re feeling broken, sometimes it’s okay to listen to a gentle song like this and have a good cry.
This piece is by the Vocaloid producer Tota Kasamura, known for heart-touching ballads, and it was released in 2021.
It features just piano and vocals—a signature Kasamura arrangement—and it really works.
The feelings in the lyrics come through directly.
The message, “When you’re hurting, I’ll be there by your side,” really hits home.
It’s great to listen to on your own, but I also recommend it as a song to share with a friend who’s feeling down.
EpilogueSecret Piercing
It’s a song with a unique charm that becomes addictive for its lingering bittersweet aftertaste.
Created by Naisho no Pierce, it was released in September 2024.
KAFU’s emotionally charged vocals shape a deeply immersive world.
One of its appeals is the dynamic, band-driven sound.
The lyrics, depicting a farewell to a cherished person, are imbued with profound sorrow over lost love and a relationship that has come to an end.
It’s an emotional piece suffused with a sadness that feels like the closing chapter of a story.

GiftSecret Piercing
There are so many different forms of “yami songs” (dark-themed songs).
Naisho no Pierce’s track “Gift” is one of them.
Released in April 2024, it resonated with people struggling with love.
Despite its melancholic soundscape, it somehow carries a certain intensity.
The pop sensibility and emotional weight are exquisitely mixed, making it linger in your ears.
The lyric world is also unique, depicting loneliness, despair, and fragments of hope.
It might be perfect for those wrestling with inner conflict or when you’re in the mood to think deeply.
BirthdaySecret Piercing
Naisho no Pierce’s “Birthday” is the epitome of a true yami song.
Released in November 2023, it’s a yandere-tinged Vocaloid track.
The lyrics portray an intense, all-consuming love for the other person—an obsession so strong it borders on denying one’s own existence.
And yet… there are surely people who feel this strongly about someone.
You’ll find yourself immersed in its world—poignant, beautiful, and at times suffocating.
Take your time with it; listen closely and let it sink in.

This work vividly portrays the protagonist’s emotions, which have lost any place to go.
It’s a track by Naisho no Pierce, released in October 2024.
The repeated vocal phrase carries a sense of powerlessness against fate, piercing deeply into the listener’s heart alongside the emotional melody line.
KAFU’s vocals further enhance the ethereal worldview.
It’s a recommended song for those who want to face themselves in the stillness of the night.
You’ll feel as if you’re wandering through a dream.
