[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs

Nuyuri – Iria / Kafu : Iria

Nuyuri, who is active as a singer-songwriter and Vocaloid producer, created his first original song using Fuka, titled “Iria.” The lyrics depict the darkness of the human heart.

As you listen, it becomes clear that the protagonist feels guilty and has committed some kind of wrongdoing.

Since it doesn’t over-explain, listeners can expand their own interpretations and empathize more deeply, which is great.

By the way, the title seems to be either a third-person plural form or a personal name.

Nuyuri – Clay / Flower: Cray

It might especially resonate with those who create.

This is a work by Nuyuri, a popular Vocaloid producer who also operates as part of the music project Lanndo, released in 2022.

It’s a stylish Vocaloid track that unfolds around a somewhat shadowy band sound.

The lyrics feel like an inner monologue, making them highly relatable—if you’re carrying an “unshakable longing,” you’ll understand.

The interlude is a must-listen, with its repeating piano phrase and noisy guitar solo—the contrast is incredibly cool!

Blind Monsterhiragi

Blind Monster / Hiragi feat. Hatsune Miku

We’d like to introduce “The Blind Monster,” a song by Hiragi that draws you into a unique world.

Released in February 2024, it placed 7th in the Rookie division of VOCACOLE 2024 Winter.

The lyrics portray inner conflict, such as self-denial and loathing toward society.

The melody is rhythmic yet tinged with melancholy, and Hatsune Miku’s translucent vocals make it even more captivating.

Its message—like a cauldron boiling in the depths of the heart—feels like it could stand by you through difficult days.

It’s a decadent yet piercingly moving Vocaloid work.

MASA WORKS DESIGN ft. Hatsune Miku & GUMI – My Heart as One

Masa writes lyrics and music, arranges, and even creates the videos himself—and on top of that, he’s a highly prolific Vocaloid producer.

He’s posted multiple songs in various series.

Here’s the first track from a story about a certain pair of sisters.

The Japanese-style sounds are addictively catchy.

Related works include “Watashi no Nanatsu no Oiwai ni” and “Watashi wa Futari no Oiwai ni.”

I'm Addicted feat. Mikito-P, Rime

The sorrow of heartbreak can be overwhelming, right? With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “I’m Addicted.” It’s a song that likens the protagonist’s longing for a loved one to an “addiction.” The track is by Mikito-P, and it’s packed with his hallmark realistic psychological portrayals.

There are both a Hatsune Miku version and an Uramei version, so you can compare them.

Also, pay attention to the message that appears when you turn on Japanese subtitles on YouTube.

It shares behind-the-scenes details about the production, so definitely check it out.
