[Hits You Deep] A Special Feature on Dark/Venty Vocaloid Songs (261–270)
Day by Daysyudou
Even though we’re always together, my heart isn’t fulfilled at all… This piece depicts an empty, hollow inner world.
Created by the Vocaloid producer syudou—also known for working on Ado’s hit song “Usseewa”—it was released in 2022.
It’s packed with syudou’s signature touches: jittery beats, ominous-sounding synth phrases, a writhing bassline, and rapid-fire melodies.
Many people have fallen into this worldview and can’t get out… needless to say.
Phenomenonszri
A high-sense Vocaloid track that overwhelms you with its breakneck development.
Composed by szri and released in February 2024, it ranked 26th in the VOCACOLLE 2024 Winter TOP 100.
The arrangement is incredible, with waves of sound surging in from the very beginning.
The hardcore beat envelops your whole body.
You can even feel the protagonist’s inner world—loneliness and inner turmoil as written in the lyrics—radiating from the sound itself.
You are me, and I am you.victream
It’s an upbeat track built around a four-on-the-floor rhythm, but perhaps because of its cool melodic lines and lyrics that feel philosophical and tinged with helplessness, it really makes you think.
It’s a piece by Victream, who is also active as a vocalist, released in 2019.
The sound strikes a great balance—flashy yet easy to listen to—which is fantastic.
Thanks to that, the lyrics slip right into your head.
So, whose image do you find yourself overlapping with the word “kimi” (you)?
Controlwotaku
It’s a mature, dark piece with resonant, melodious piano phrases.
Composed by wotaku and released in 2020, the lyrics trace the protagonist’s inner darkness—feeling the pain of living, yet sensing a glimmer of hope somewhere in their body.
As you listen, a world like a grim fairy tale comes into view.
It’s a Vocaloid track where fear and beauty can be savored at the same time.
If you listen alone at night, it’s sure to pierce your heart.
Shantiwotaku
It’s a dark EDM track that makes you feel like you’ve stepped one foot into a dangerous world.
The song is by Vocaloid producer wotaku, also known for works like “Gehenna” and “Mafia,” and it was released in 2021.
With its sophisticated sound arrangement, KAITO’s mature vocals, and a hip-hop-tinged melodic line, it’s a very cool piece.
Being able to hear KAITO rap is probably irresistible for fans.
