[Hits You Hard] Vocaloid Yami (Dark/Mentally Ailing) Song Special (41–50)
Villainteniwoha
The era of having only two genders—“male” and “female”—has passed, hasn’t it? This Vocaloid track is addictive while also delivering a satirical message about society.
Created by Teniwoha, a Vocaloid producer also known as the author of the “Schoolgirl Detective Series,” it was released in 2020.
The heavily compressed, forceful beat and the rolled, almost trilled vocal delivery leave a strong impression.
You can feel overflowing emotion from each and every word of the lyrics.
It’s a masterpiece I’d highly recommend for karaoke as well.
[Hits you hard] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (51–60)
best friENDhya
A dark fantasy Vocaloid track that portrays both the beauty and madness of friendship.
Released by hya in October 2025, this duet by Hatsune Miku and Amai delivers a striking impression with lyrics that transform a seemingly positive theme of “best friends” into creeping obsession.
The heavy beat and horror-tinged sound design are irresistibly captivating.
Listen while imagining the emotions hidden behind the smiles!
New DarlingMARETU
My heart races at the aggressive lyrics.
It’s a track by MARETU, also known as the creator of “Uminaoshi” and “Dokuhaku,” released in 2021.
I think anyone familiar with his work would recognize it instantly… This sound is so quintessentially MARETU—it’s irresistible! The sonic image, where coldness and heaviness coexist with lightness, really hits home.
And the lyrics are worth digging into; it might be good to compare them with “Darling,” released in 2017.
Even the contrast in the titles feels suggestive, doesn’t it?
Because I’ll end up being saved by someone’s hand again.kyiku
This song beautifully captures the turmoil of self-denial, overflowing with poignancy.
Created by kyiku, it was released in February 2025.
As an entry for VocaColle Winter 2025, it ranked 26th.
Whispered vocals intertwine with deep, expansive synths to create a dreamlike soundscape.
The rhythm-driven poetry reading and the breaths woven into the mix press in on your heart from multiple angles.
If you’re looking for immersive music, be sure to give it a listen.
Angelkairiki bea
It’s suspicious yet cool and totally hype-inducing! A rock number that’s addictively catchy.
Created by the Vocaloid producer Kairiki Bear, known for signature tracks like “Kanzen Chouaku Lolita Complex,” it was released in 2019.
It also served as a demo song for the Vocaloid “VOCALOID5 Library Narumaki Hime & Mikoto,” which came out that year.
The explosive chorus is just irresistible.
EmNaisho no piasu
This is a melancholic “yami-song” with a faintly gloomy atmosphere wrapped in love.
It’s a track by Naisho no Pierce, known for hits like “Proposal” and “Birthday,” released in February 2025.
As the song progresses, the expanding soundscape seems to embody the overflowing emotions.
The lyrics capture a distorted desire: “I want the person I love to mess me up.” It’s sure to resonate with those who carry heavy feelings toward someone important.
My EarlWada Takeaki
It’s a song whose lyrics tell the story of several girls trying to jump from a rooftop.
Each girl’s own troubles are written into the lyrics, which makes it compelling.
It’s a masterpiece that once again makes you realize there’s a difference between what you feel yourself and what others feel.
