Hits You Hard! A Compilation of Dark, Cool Vocaloid Songs (31–40)
Chiso-sama¿?
“Chisosa” by ¿? koto shimon, released on May 25, 2024, is a downer-style electronic dance tune.
It’s a collaboration with Sanrio’s mixed-media project “Mai Mai Maigoen,” created with the character Daigorou as its motif.
Despite its rhythmic drive, the track surges in with heavy sound, noisy vocal work, and deranged lyrics all fused together.
It’s a highly horror-tinged Vocaloid song that sends chills through your ears and down your back.
182.¿?
It’s a hardcore Vocaloid track that comes crashing in with heavy sound pressure.
Created by shimon (aka ¿?), it was released in July 2024.
The title “182.” is slang for “I hate you,” meaning “I really hate you.” The lyrics vent frustrations about society and one’s way of life, yet still bristle with the resolve that “there’s no choice but to do it.” That gritty sentiment pairs perfectly with the avant-garde sound arrangement.
eeriebuzzG
An epic dark rock tune with irresistibly tense, weighty sound.
Composed by buzzG and released in December 2024, it garnered attention as part of the “Sang-It Cover Memories 2024” project.
Its lyrics exude an ominous atmosphere, while the music incorporates elements of post-punk and alternative rock.
The cool vocals of Kasane Teto SV further enhance the song’s world.
Listen once, and you’ll be hooked.
Funny Insipid Candy VendorBoiled Fruits
“Funny Insipid Candy Vendor” is a song by Nirukajitsu, included on the album “MWLÁND” released in November 2024, with its music video published in December.
It’s a duet by flower and Nirukajitsu, featuring an addictive melody line and lyrics woven with sharp critiques of modern society.
Its distinctive sound arrangement—rock-based while incorporating diverse genres—showcases Nirukajitsu’s style in full.
Be sure to give it a careful listen!
Watched/Being watchedSTEAKA
Many of you may find that its original sound sears itself into your mind and won’t let go.
Produced by STEAKA and set for release in July 2025, this track was written as the theme song for the immersive horror event “Obaken.” Riding on a sound that’s dark yet pop, it portrays the tense atmosphere of sensing someone’s gaze upon you.
Packed with cinematic phrases that feel like they scrape at the listener’s nerves, it lets you experience the thrill of becoming the protagonist of a horror work.
Highly recommended not only for fans of puzzles and horror, but also for anyone who wants to listen to music that strays just a little from the everyday.

I am a heretic.szri
Have you ever been tormented by loneliness, thinking, “I’m different from everyone else—maybe there’s something wrong with me”? Szri’s work I Am a Heretic powerfully gives voice to that piercing pain.
Heavy electro sounds intertwine with razor-sharp guitar, and the inhuman vocals of UTAU Adachi Rei heighten the sense of isolation, creating a truly one-of-a-kind world.
Released in July 2025 and included on the compilation album Adachi Adapter, it hits perfectly on nights when you can’t fit in and end up blaming yourself, matching those sharp-edged emotions to a tee.
HowlerFushi
A track where a dark atmosphere pairs perfectly with a catchy melody.
Released in March 2024 by Vocaloid producer Fushi, it features a striking, hard-hitting sound that’s truly compelling.
Introspective lyrics and crisp guitar cutting mesh exquisitely, brilliantly conveying the complexity of human emotions.
If you’re looking to face yourself, this might be the song to put on.
Turn up the volume to fully immerse yourself in its world!
