[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Songs in Vocaloid (351–360)
Old Testament Generalization StreetHiiragi Magnetite
You’ll be swallowed up by the needle-sharp sonic image.
This work by Vocaloid producer Hiiragi Magnetite—known for a stylish musical sensibility—was released in 2020.
It’s dark, with a palpable sense of pressure; that alone is irresistible.
The unpredictable song structure is another draw, and the shout parts in the chorus are especially cool.
It’s a track with ocean-floor depth that makes you want to ponder the meaning of every single word lined up in the lyrics.
HydrangeaUmetora
It’s a Vocaloid song with a gothic atmosphere.
Created by Umetora, a Vocaloid producer also known for “Ifuudoudou” and “Koshitantan,” it was released in 2018.
The lyrics depict a protagonist who seeks a precious existence even at the cost of throwing everything away—their intensity and strength of feeling are almost frightening.
At the same time, it evokes a poignant sadness, making it a heart-wrenching Vocaloid track.
It’s connected to Umetora’s other song “Sakurasou,” so be sure to give that one a listen as well.
Enko GirlNashimoto-P
I think you can tell it’s a “yami” song just from the title.
But it’s not just dark—there’s a certain wistfulness to it as well.
It’s a track by Vocaloid producer NashimotoP, known for songs like “Aa aaaa aaaaaa.” The husky tuning, the gritty, pounding bass, and the sharp, cutting guitar should be irresistible to fans of grunge rock.
I found outShino Mirin
Its aggressive sound image and poetry-reading-like development are cutting-edge.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Mirin Shiino, who made a name with the hit “Well Then, I Hope Your Ideology Dies,” released in October 2022.
The sound arrangement feels like waves of audio crashing over you—absolutely superb.
It pairs seamlessly with the relentless vocal delivery, and before you know it, the roughly three-minute runtime has flown by.
The lyrics, which stimulate philosophical thought, are another major draw.
Add this one-of-a-kind Vocaloid track to your playlist.
Heaven DopeBoiled Fruits
I’m overwhelmed by the artistic soundscape that projects a cruel, hopeless world.
The track is by Vocaloid producer Nirukajitsu and was released in August 2022.
It’s the second chapter of the creative project “Creation: Heaven and Hell,” which is expressed through both music and visuals.
The unpredictable development and sense of narrative give it a tense impression.
But toward the latter half, rhythmic phrases multiply, and before you know it, you’ll be nodding along.
If you’re hooked, be sure to check out Chapter One, “Tricolage,” too!
you complete mestanding chair plane
This is a philosophical piece that reflects on feelings toward another person that are neither love nor infatuation.
It’s a work by the Vocaloid producer Tachii Kanna, released in 2020.
The sound is both dreamy and stylish, shaking your eardrums.
Rather than flashy or colorful, the atmosphere is best described as “luscious.” The way flower sings—like squeezing the voice out—also matches the song’s tone.
It may resonate especially when you’re troubled by your relationship with a partner, or when you find yourself wondering, “Do I really like this person?”
zoetropeHachiya Nanashi
Built around stylish guitar cutting, the rhythmical yet melodious bass line darts around freely, giving the track a light, breezy feel…
and yet its biting content seems to capture the vibe of today’s youth.
The track is by the popular Vocaloid producer Hachiya Nanashi, who concluded six years of activity on August 23, 2020, and the Vocaloid used is v flower.
As you listen while wondering who exactly the lyrics are directed at, you may find yourself in a rather complicated state of mind.
