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

A huge number of Vocaloid songs are available online.

New tracks are constantly being created around themes like emotions, scenery, seasons, and events.

Among them, there are also many pieces known as “yami songs” (dark or depressive songs).

I bet quite a few people like that kind of music.

You might listen when you want something to empathize with your feelings, or play them when you want to think deeply and intensely.

So in this article, we’ll be introducing plenty of Vocaloid yami songs!

Let’s take a peek into the deep, rich world of the Vocaloid scene!

[Hits You Deep] A Special Feature on Dark/Themed Vocaloid Songs (311–320)

Is the slightly scary image that sweets tend to have because of the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel, or is it because of Halloween? This song follows that trend as well.

The ending is a must-hear, shifting suddenly from the poppiness of sweets, Len Kagamine’s innocent voice, and the cute lyrics.

The way the song unfolds will really take you by surprise, won’t it?

The sorrowful soundscape and vocals stir my heart.

It’s a track by Picon, a Vocaloid producer known for highly original and artistic works, released in 2021.

The song was written specifically for the unit “25-ji, Nightcord de.” from the mobile game Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku.

Its lo-fi yet grand sound arrangement pairs strikingly with Hatsune Miku’s murmuring, almost whisper-like singing.

And as the chorus approaches, the swell of emotion.

It’s not an intense song by any means, so why does it unsettle the heart so deeply?

An aggressive and slightly off-kilter Vocaloid track released on Niconico in 2009.

It’s a work by PinocchioP, who’s active as a multi-creator.

It may sound bright at first, but if you take a closer look at the lyrics… It’s a dark, addictive song you can’t get out of your head.

It makes me think that what’s truly frightening is people… This song, released in 2020, is by Maiki-P, who is also active as a member of the two-person rock band Ratrat.

It’s an answer song to the previous track, “Anti-Joker.” When you’re obsessed with something, you can lose sight of your surroundings and end up blurting out something careless—some of you have probably experienced that on social media.

The feeling of “love” can sometimes lead to aggressive behavior.

That kind of human darkness is projected into the song.

The title is already kind of sick, isn’t it? It’s a work by Maero-P, released in 2010.

The lyrics are extremely heavy, like they weigh on your back.

The melody is catchy and easy to listen to—maybe not exactly light and breezy—but it gives a guitar rock vibe that isn’t overly dark.

By the way, there’s also a Lily version, so if you’re interested, definitely look it up.
