[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!

It’s a horror piece featuring creatures that resemble sloths and depictions of human experimentation.

The underlying phrases amplify the song’s world-building and depth, so I especially recommend it to people who love instruments.

It’ll make you want to play it yourself.

There are times when something unpleasant happens and you feel down, right? Sometimes it even feels like the whole world is laughing at you…

This is a song by Neru, a popular Vocaloid producer also known as Oshiire-P.

It was released in 2014.

The introspective lyrics are sure to resonate especially with younger listeners.

Although it’s introduced as a “dark” song, it’s also a track that gives you the courage to face forward and move toward the future.

Downa / Hatsune Miku – Polypho [ downa / Hatsune Miku ]

As the title suggests, it’s a very downer-style Vocaloid song.

It’s a track by PolyphonicBranch, a Vocaloid producer who has even made a major debut, released in 2020.

From the intro, a dark atmosphere starts to seep in.

However, the chorus is incredibly catchy, and you can really get into it.

The choice of words in the lyrics has a great sound to them, making you want to sing it yourself—that’s another charm.

The lyrics dwell on negative emotions, but I can’t help empathizing with these feelings.

girl’s self-harmPolyphonicBranch

A grungy Vocaloid track with cool, distorted guitar.

It’s a song by PolyphonicBranch (aka Porifoi/Polypho), released in 2013.

As the title suggests, it sings from the perspective of a girl who turns to self-harm…but scars aren’t only the ones you can see, right? This rock number also delves into the darkness of the heart.

Recommended for band music fans.

pity partyRoji

This song expresses the loneliness and self-loathing deep within the heart through a weighty yet beautiful melody.

Released by Roji in October 2024, it brought a fresh breeze to the Vocaloid scene.

Characterized by its dark worldview and delicate sound, it makes a powerful appeal to listeners’ emotions.

It’s sure to become a track you’ll want to play over and over again.
