[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Songs in Vocaloid (351–360)
I’m dead.Shiino Mirin
A philosophical Vocaloid track that depicts the concept of the “individual” in contemporary society.
Created by Vocaloid producer Mirin Shiino, who made a name with the hit “Then Your Ideology Should Just Die,” it was released in 2022.
You could call it dark EDM—that might be the simplest description—and its pressing, encroaching sound sets your heart on edge.
Before you know it, your hand will be reaching for the volume-up button.
While the driving beat tends to grab your attention, be sure to listen for the chill piano phrases running underneath.
There’s even a poetry-reading-style section in the middle… It’s a highly sophisticated track, packed with clever twists that never let you get bored.
I found outShiino 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.
Black-and-White Wardyugami P
A short horror song under two minutes.
The lyrics, sound effects, and even the title make you imagine terrifying things.
You can’t help but wait in suspense, eager to hear what sound comes next and what words will leap out.
Find out for yourself what lurks in the ward.
[Hits Home] A Selection of Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (361–370)
Isolation wardzankyou P
Rather than a “yami song” (emo/sick song), it’s more of a “yami” as in darkness—a track with strong horror-song elements.
It vividly portrays a girl descending into the shadows in an isolated ward.
The worldview feels like reading a horror novel and sends shivers down your spine.
Why not enjoy it as a summer ghost story to feel a chill?
But you know,Mizuno Atsu
For example, if you listen while thinking about a lover you parted with despite still loving them, or about someone precious you can no longer meet, it’s bound to make you cry.
It’s a song by Atsu Mizuno—also known for works like “Ikiru” and “Shiritai”—released in 2021.
Though it’s a simple piece consisting only of piano and vocals, perhaps for that very reason, it has a power that shakes the human heart.
With a quietly conversational melody and lyrics that gradually draw you in, it’s a Vocaloid track that makes your chest tighten.
Traffic jamNiru Kajitsu
The lo-fi vocals, simple rhythm track, and a synth phrase that carries a hint of unease all linger in your ears.
It’s a piece by Nirukajitsu, the world’s first (?) fruit Vocaloid producer, released in 2019.
If you feel like there’s something wrong with you, you might find this relatable.
The chorus groove is just too good.
Heaven DopeNiru Kajitsu
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.
