[Hits you hard] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (51–60)
ProposalNaisho no piasu
Naisho no Pierce, a Vocaloid producer who debuted in 2021.
The most memorable work in which he achieved his first entry into the Hall of Fame is “Proposal.” This song conveys deep affection.
However, instead of depicting love straightforwardly, it expresses the jealousy and suffering born from love.
It’s a bit frightening, isn’t it? The piece uses KAFU, and by blurring certain pronunciations and the like, it achieves an expressive vocal performance.
Thanks to that, you can keenly feel the darker emotions.
Fragilenuyuri
Perhaps because of the intro that gradually slows down, you find yourself drawn into the song’s world before you realize it.
It’s a breakout hit that instantly boosted Vocaloid producer Nuyuri’s recognition, released in 2016.
The four-on-the-floor rhythm and bass—almost as if your brain is swaying—and the bouncy electric piano phrases have astonishing synergy.
Many listeners will likely empathize with the protagonist’s inner fragility conveyed through the lyrics.
Take your time and reflect on the meaning behind the title “Fragile.”
ParasiteDECO*27
It’s a yandere song that sings about the jealousy of seeing the person you like get together with someone else.
Created by DECO*27, a Vocaloid producer known for numerous hits like “Vampire” and “Ghost Rule,” the track was released in 2022.
It’s a danceable number featuring a mysterious synth phrase, with a melody line that incorporates elements of hip-hop—very striking and irresistible to sing yourself.
Overall, it’s the quintessential “this is DECO*27” kind of production.
VampireDECO*27
It’s a Vocaloid rock tune with a yandere vibe.
Created by DECO*27, a Vocaloid producer who also writes songs for famous artists, it was released in 2021.
It’s a mixture rock number that effectively incorporates electronic sounds.
The section where it shifts into a jazz style partway through is really interesting.
The lyrics, which liken the feeling of wanting someone too much to a vampire, are cute yet delightfully dark.
With its upbeat feel, it’s a track I highly recommend for karaoke.

Nothing I do goes well.meiyo
Everything is crammed tightly into the title.
It’s a track by meiyo, who’s also active as a singer-songwriter, released in 2021.
It went viral by expressing blunt, negative feelings with a light, hip-hop-tinged sound.
I think you’ll understand when you listen—this is exactly what people mean by “addictive.” No matter how much we put on a front, once you peel back a layer, maybe everyone feels this way… or maybe not.
But it’s definitely possible, isn’t it?
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.
Reincarnated ApplePinokio P
The Vocaloid song I want people who are facing a painful reality right now to hear is “Tensei Ringo” (“Reincarnation Apple”).
It was produced in 2022 by Vocaloid producer PinocchioP, who delivers genre-defying tracks to listeners.
The ever-unfolding synth tones make it an addictive electro-pop piece.
You can’t help but empathize with the protagonist who is reborn to restart life, only to hit reset again and again.
It’s a number I especially recommend to those who feel anxiety or loneliness in their daily lives.
How about lending an ear to Hatsune Miku’s mechanical vocals?
