[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Depressive Vocaloid Songs (251–260)
GEDOdaraku

It’s stylish and upbeat, yet the contrasting message in the lyrics really hits home.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer daraku, released in 2022.
Entered in “VocaColle 2022 Autumn,” it gained a lot of popularity.
The rhythmic drum work, funky guitar phrases, and Kagamine Len’s powerful vocals are all captivating—you’ll find your body moving on its own as you listen.
And the sound perfectly matches the lyrics’ theme of “going the way you desire.” If you’re looking for a highly addictive Vocaloid track, definitely check this out!
Don’t tell clumsy lies.ive

The repeating piano phrase, symphonic strings, and Hatsune Miku’s fragile vocals leave a strong impression.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer ive, released in 2019.
The lyrics, with their dark word choices—enough to make you think of a “night without a single light”—really pierce the heart.
Yet what comes through is a single-minded devotion to someone precious.
Fear and wistfulness intermingle, creating a unique atmosphere.
It’s a gloomy song that might make you cry before you even realize it.
happinessjohn

A song I want those who tend to feel weighed down precisely because they care deeply about someone to hear is “Shiawase.” It was produced in 2022 by john, an artist engaged in a wide range of musical activities, including organizing DJ events.
The heavy, resonant electronica pairs perfectly with Hoshikai’s mechanical vocals.
It delivers a tender yet bittersweet message that stays close to a partner who has overcome many hardships.
With its passionate musical development, it’s a track overflowing with love for someone dear.
As you listen, picture two people desperately surviving together in a dark world.
Ubumekojika

A track produced by Vocaloid creator kojika, released in October 2024.
Its post-rock vibe and breathy Hatsune Miku vocals are striking, drawing you into an emotional soundscape.
The lyrics are also notable, packed to the brim with feelings of disgust and pent-up frustration.
It’s perfect for times when you’re carrying darkness in your heart or want to escape from reality.
Highly recommended for deep listening with headphones or earphones.
re-restartkyko

I’m completely taken by the lo-fi guitar sound.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer kyko, released in 2021.
The sonic palette is very simple, yet it has remarkable depth.
The lyrics capture the everyday routine, vague anxieties, and those sudden pangs of loneliness—things that are easy to relate to.
It really hits especially hard when you’re zoning out in your room, doing nothing in particular.
Highly recommended if you like alternative rock.
