[Hits Home] A Selection of Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (361–370)
Repeat Onenekomushi
This is a song about realizing you were nothing more than a convenient presence to the other person.
It’s a track by Nekomushi-P, the well-known Vocaloid producer behind “Wanwan-o Nyannyan-o,” released in 2010.
Despite its catchy melody, it conveys a crushing sense of heartbreak.
If you’ve recently gone through a breakup, you might find something to relate to in it.
unceasingly indigoShishi Shishi
This is a city-flavored Vocaloid track featuring crisp guitar sounds and gentle piano tones.
It’s the breakout work of Vocaloid producer Shishi Shishi, released in 2019.
The lyrics capture the feelings of a protagonist struggling with the fear of never becoming anyone at all.
As suggested by the PV’s imagery, the sound arrangement evokes neon-lit cityscapes and meshes perfectly with the song’s theme.
The word choices have excellent rhythm and mouthfeel, making it irresistibly hummable.
All in all, it’s a classic I can highly recommend for karaoke.
you complete metachiisu kanna
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?”
Let’s give up.tsumigusa
Zaisou’s “Let’s Give Up” is a track released in July 2024.
Set to Hatsune Miku’s vocals, it weaves a fantastical yet deranged world that grabs listeners by the heart.
The lyrics, which depict the protagonist breaking into a home, create an intensely serious atmosphere.
The spoken-word sections make the worldview feel even more real.
If you like scary-style Vocaloid songs, this is one you should definitely hear.
Listening alone late at night might send chills down your spine.
refreshing and exhilaratingtsumigusa
Even though it’s titled “Refreshing and Exhilarating,” the fact that I’m introducing it as a yami song—that is, a dark, depressive track—means there’s a gap between the title’s image and the actual content.
It’s a song by Tsumikusa, a Vocaloid producer known for a dark style, released in June 2024.
With its majestic choral work that lingers in your ears, it’s a Vocaloid track that makes you feel like you’ve “seen something you shouldn’t have.” Why does the protagonist feel so “refreshingly exhilarated,” I wonder… Watch it alongside the MV and let your imagination wander through the story.
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.
[Hits Home] Vocaloid Depressing Song Special (371–380)
Pitch blackyomitan akane
A track steeped in a theme of “darkness,” suffused with helplessness and a sense of claustrophobia.
Composed by Akane Yomitan and released in August 2024, it’s a high-style number whose minimal, unsettling electronica sound lingers in the ear.
Kudzayaon’s noisy vocal work is striking as well.
The lyrics portray “darkness” from multiple angles, depicting a struggle to grasp one’s inner truth beneath it all.
Perfect for moments of deep contemplation or when you want something to sit with your feelings.
