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

Hello/How are you?Nanou

[Hatsune Miku Append SOFT] Hello/How Are You (Original) + mp3

This is a depressive song that portrays the real loneliness working adults face.

The lyrics are so relatable for anyone in the workforce that they can bring you to tears.

It will likely resonate especially with those who’ve just started working or are struggling because they’re not seeing results.

It may not be a cure, but it’s a song that stays by your side.

Recommended for those looking for a song to relate to or who want to sink into a darker mood.

MarshmallowDECO*27

DECO*27 – Marshmallow feat. Hatsune Miku

This work, released for streaming in October 2025 by DECO*27, who continues to lead the forefront of the Vocaloid scene, is a mixture rock number brimming with intensity despite its sweet title.

It portrays the mindset of a protagonist who realizes the relationship is false and tries to sever the other’s deceit, lining up sharp words that challenge the very act of professing love.

With a song structure interweaving hard guitar riffs and rap sections, it delivers an aggressive sound.

VTuber Laplus Darknesss joins the chorus.

It may resonate especially with those who have suffered through a fabricated romance.

[Hatsune Miku] Bacterial Contamination – 3D PV [Gachikoine CIE] #Gachikoine CIE #CIE @calciu_bot

This is “Bacterial Contamination” by Kanimiso-P, whose addictive style has a strong following.

Its worldview, centered on bullying, is oppressively heavy, and it hurts to listen.

The pain of being ostracized makes you almost want to pass it on to someone else…

If I were in that position, I might think that way too, I can’t help but imagine…

The dark narrative gains even more depth through its eerie soundscape.

I absolutely recommend this track to anyone who wants to fully immerse themselves in a sick, afflicted mood!

Zamzaparticles (te-ni-wo-ha)

Zamza / Teniwoha feat. Hatsune Miku

I also recommend “Zamuza,” whose Latin-style melody is addictive.

This track was created by the Vocaloid producer Teniwoha.

Its lyrics portray the heartache of a protagonist rejected by their beloved.

And when you listen to the song, it helps to know about the character named Zamuza in order to fully immerse yourself in its world.

“Zamuza” refers to the protagonist of the novella The Metamorphosis.

She transforms into an insect and has apples thrown at her by her father.

In the novella, there are descriptions of physical pain, but in the song, it can be interpreted as emotional pain.

Poisonous possessivenessDECO*27

DECO*27 – Toxic Possessiveness feat. Hatsune Miku

I think people who are possessive or self-centered can relate to this song.

It has a cool vibe, and the low tone right before the chorus is striking.

The theme is something like, “I can do anything for the one I love!!” Also, pay attention to the song structure where the tempo changes partway through!

This song shows a great sense of word choice in its lyrics.

The main riff, which gets stuck looping in your head, is another point of darkness.

The illustration used in the video is composed of text, giving it an ominous vibe.

That level of meticulousness is wonderful as well.

SalomeCommand High Drink

Salome / ⌘ Meiko

A dark, deranged, and mysterious sound slips into your heart.

This is a work by Vocaloid producer ⌘Hainomi, released in February 2025.

MEIKO’s glossy vocals, the highly addictive melody, and a madness powerful enough to shake the listener’s soul…

It’s a highly sophisticated piece that makes you feel as if you’re peering into a mythic world.

When you want to surrender both body and mind to music, be sure to give this track a listen.
