[Hits Home] Vocaloid Depressing Song Special (371–380)
Teacher, is it okay?amagumori
What might seem like “a small thing” to others can feel “unbearably heavy” to the person going through it—especially for those in their teens, this will probably hit home.
It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Amagumori, released in April 2022.
While the sound image has a laid-back, band-like atmosphere, what truly comes through from the music is “anger.” The lyrics express feelings toward those who treat you like you don’t matter.
KAFU’s innocent-sounding voice also fits the mood of the track perfectly…
The Sun Above and the Gutter RatUtsu P
From the very intro, it has a dark vibe.
It’s a melodic Vocaloid metal track titled “Otentosama to Dobunezumi” (“The Sun and the Gutter Rat”).
Created by Utsu-P, a Vocaloid producer active in providing songs for anime and singers as well as in band activities, it was released in 2019.
The lyrics self-deprecatingly sing about unpleasant things that befall the narrator.
Despite its heaviness, the catchy chorus is just unbelievably cool!
GaUtsu P
Utsu-P, who has produced many works that incorporate elements of rock.
In 2023, he released “Ga.” This track centers on themes of jealousy and discrimination.
The lyrics portray the feelings of a moth that envies a butterfly praised by everyone for its beauty.
Try listening while mapping the relationship between the butterfly and the moth onto various situations.
Also, pay attention to the figurative expressions that leverage the moth’s characteristics, as well as the shouts that seem to express the darkness of the heart.
Death RowUtsu P
It’s a message song directed at people who can’t accept new ways of thinking.
Created by Utsu-P, a Vocaloid producer known for a style that blends metal with Vocaloid and has earned strong support, it was released in 2020.
So yes, the song is metal-based, but it also incorporates various musical elements like EDM, which makes it feel “new.” It’s really catchy.
If someone who associates “metal” with something scary listens to it, their impression might change.

Before you knew it, have you been swallowed up by the pursuit of “aesthetic appeal”? This is a track by Utsu-P, a Vocaloid producer known for metal and loud music, released in 2021.
Its heavy, grand sound arrangement is overwhelming.
The rolled-tongue vocal delivery and energetic guitar solo are awesome, too! The lyrics, packed with social satire and self-deprecation, are highly relatable.
What counts as “aesthetic” and what doesn’t… This is a Vocaloid song with a strong message that really makes you think.
Rights-Bought GirlUtsu P
Vocaloid producer Utsu-P delivers rock sounds infused with loud and screamo to listeners.
Among his tracks, one that especially resonates with gloomy moods is “Purchased-Rights Girl,” produced in 2022.
Its passionate band sound, unfolding with a modern flair, leaves a strong impression.
It carries a powerful message from a woman living in a glamorous world.
It’s a number where you can fully savor Seikai’s singing—both cute and strong.
Give this energetic rock tune a listen; it wraps up feelings of loneliness and anxiety.
black-haired girlKurosawa Madoka
The popular utaite Otouto no Ane made her debut as a Vocaloid producer under the name Madoka Kurosawa.
Her luxurious sound design and Miku’s voice—like it’s gained a physical body—are a delight to the ears, and above all, her refined elegance is captivating.
The gently traditional Japanese-style yandere is irresistible.
If you’re a yandere fan, be sure to give it a listen.
