[Hits You Hard] Vocaloid Dark/Depressive Song Special (281–290)
Empty Melodyumikun
What is true love, really? When you feel lonely and in pain, this song might stay by your side.
It’s a track by Umikun, who works as a singer and YouTuber, released in 2021.
It’s also the title track of the album that was released around the same time.
The arrangement is characterized by clarity and a sense of depth.
And the way it builds toward the latter half really stirs your emotions.
Plus, Kafu’s trembling vocal delivery matches the lyrical message so well that it pierces straight through.
Nokemono Neverlandoku no hosomichi
The distorted vocal work is really cool! It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Okuno Hosomichi—also known as the creator of “A Suicide Applicant’s Longing Seen 191 Seconds Before Death”—released in 2020.
The sound is heavy yet rhythmic, and it really gets you pumped.
It matches perfectly with the lyrics, “I don’t want to live in such a ridiculous world!” The stylish scat section that appears in the latter half is a must-hear.
Be sure to listen to the end.
to break things bit by bit / to smash things piece by piecekikuo
When it comes to Vocaloid producers who create beautiful music despite being deeply troubled, Kikuo comes to mind.
The lyrics are so brutal you want to look away, yet the tones are so clear that you can’t help but listen.
The distinctive melodies stick in your head.
Also, the theme of wanting to destroy something you love appears in other works as well.
Vanishguchiri
The Vocaloid song I want people who feel lonely or isolated on dark nights to hear is “Vanish.” It was produced in 2022 by Guchiri, a Vocaloid producer known for delivering highly story-driven tracks to listeners.
The passionate band sound—blending rock and electronica—leaves a strong impression.
It paints a glossy, thrilling night and pairs perfectly with KAITO’s performance, which carries a touch of irony.
It’s a rock number that fits those nights when you just can’t shake a depressive mood.
If you find yourself thinking about the one you love without meaning to, be sure to give it a listen.
334 enemieskonata P
It’s a sad Vocaloid song that sings about the feeling of becoming more and more alone.
Created by the Vocaloid producer Konata-P, also known as Chamu, it was released in 2012.
With its electro-dance-rock vibe, it’s really catchy—you’ll want to play it on repeat.
The guitar solo is cool, too! By the way, the title “334” is a wordplay that sounds like “samishii” (lonely) in Japanese.
