[Hits You Hard] Vocaloid Dark/Depressive Song Special (281–290)
Attempted Murder in the Name of Love ~Satsuren Misui~anchan-san
It’s IA’s Yandere Rock.
Every note is cool.
You can enjoy it both as a yandere song and as a love song.
It’s a highly narrative track in which love slips over the line and leads to a “failed murder-love attempt.” Now then, what exactly is a “failed murder-love attempt”? And how is it different from ordinary love?
I shouldn’t have said it.ibusuki
Don’t you have those kinds of regrets too? It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Ibusuki, released in 2021.
It’s one song from a project where Junnosuke Taguchi collaborated with various Vocaloid producers.
Set to a four-on-the-floor beat with an ennui-tinged vibe, the piano tones resonate with aching sadness.
And then there’s that one line you let slip—an irreparable regret… Thinking about the protagonist’s feelings woven into the lyrics makes your chest ache.
If you’ve recently gone through a breakup, this might just move you to tears.
tsuzumigusaiyowa
Sanrio’s character project “Maimai Maigoen.” “Tsuzumigusa” is themed around one of its characters, the Lion.
It portrays the Lion’s determination to protect someone precious to him, as well as the inner conflict that arises from it.
If you know the story of the work, you’ll be able to relate even more.
By the way, the title “Tsuzumigusa” is another name for the dandelion.
Keeping that in mind as you listen might lead to all kinds of discoveries.
apricotiyowa
Before you know it, you won’t be able to escape this world.
It’s a work by the Vocaloid producer Iyowa, known for their high-sense musicality, released in 2021.
It’s also included on the album “Watashi no Heritage,” released the same year.
The finely chopped beats, a piano phrase that doesn’t fall apart even when it slips off the rhythm, the matter-of-fact melodic line, and the unpredictable developments—there’s no end to the amazing and admirable points one could list.
The lyrics, which let you savor cuteness and fear at the same time, are also a must-see.
Innocent Youiyowa
“Muko” is read as “muko,” a word meaning “innocence” or “being without sin.” It’s a piece by the Vocaloid producer Iyowa, known for their distinctive musicality, released in 2019.
The sound arrangement, which feels like the audio has been roughly cut and pasted together, really sticks in your ears.
Yet the melody is catchy, and that contrast is, conversely, unsettling.
It’s a love song that pours out feelings for a beloved “you”… but as for its content and the meaning of the title, I encourage you to interpret them yourself.
That way, it’ll give you even more chills.
