A Chill Down Your Spine: A Collection of Scary but Irresistible Vocaloid Songs (71–80)
KUCHISAKEUtsu-P
With its heavy sound and gut-wrenching shouts that violently shake your eardrums, this is a track by Utsu-P.
Released in July 2025 featuring Kasane Teto on vocals, the song takes inspiration from the well-known urban legend “Kuchisake-onna.” The protagonist’s screams—burdened by insecurities about appearance and a warped desire for social validation—hit painfully close.
The majestic chorus further amplifies the song’s eeriness and mystique.
Immerse yourself fully in its dark, provocative world!
Hatching a curseIDONO KAWAZU
A track distinguished by its unique acoustic design and mysterious atmosphere.
It’s a work by IDONO KAWAZU, released in February 2025.
The blend of Rei Adachi’s distinctive vocals with soundscapes that evoke a sense of unease is exquisite.
You’ll be captivated by the sound arrangement that fuses dark electro with rock.
The lyrics are sprinkled with philosophical questions, leaving ample room for deep interpretation.
Recommended for times when you want to face yourself.
NEIDSumia
NEID, sung by Sumia, is a somewhat eerie song that uses Hatsune Miku.
It portrays ressentiment—the feelings of indignation and hatred that the weak may harbor toward the strong.
Everyone, at some point in life, feels envy or resentment toward the wealthy or the powerful.
Such emotions tend to be labeled negative in society, but instead of bottling them up, why not listen to this song and release a bit of that stress?
EntomologistsGHOST
It opens with dissonance—starting from a sense of eeriness.
A melody that evokes an abandoned Western-style mansion where no one resides continues, and the lack of dynamics further doubles the fear through its composition.
An ambitious work by GHOST, an overseas Vocaloid producer.
When you try translating the lyrics, you come across another unsettling phrase: entomologist.
What, then, is the hidden meaning of this song? Be sure to listen while translating and savor its worldview.
refreshing and exhilaratingSin grass
If you’re looking for a spine-chilling track, this is the one.
“Sukatto Sōkai,” a song by Zamigusa, a Vocaloid producer known for dark aesthetics, was released in June 2024.
The title alone might suggest a bright, cheerful tune, but one listen will convey its downbeat worldview.
Why did the protagonist feel so refreshed? If you trace the works Zamigusa has created so far, you might uncover a hidden story.
With grand choral work adding depth to the piece, it’s a Vocaloid song that captivates both the ears and the eyes.
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.
Forget it.monkey woman
This song opens with an unsettling piano tone.
It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Saru Onna, released in 2021.
Though the piece has a suspicious, orchestral-infused sound, it somehow comes across like a nursery rhyme—perhaps thanks to Yuki Kaai’s vocals.
The barely-there whisper voice, on the verge of fading away, adds depth and dimension to the world it creates.
The lyrics make your heart race, too.
The bell motif that appears midway feels loaded with meaning, and the inclusion of the melody from the world-famous Christmas carol “Deck the Halls” invites you to speculate about the story behind it.
