Chills Down Your Spine: A Collection of Scary Yet Irresistibly Listenable Vocaloid Songs (21–30)
Congratulationsnatural water
Despite its cheerful clapping and festive melody, this work chills you with the cynical message of its lyrics and the eerie atmosphere of its music video.
Shizensuisan’s “Omedetou,” released in June 2025.
Once you hear it, you’ll be shocked at how ominous words of congratulations can sound.
Quoting a familiar phrase from Beethoven, it conjures a crazed celebratory mood.
Why not take your time to ponder the true intent hidden behind the words?
EvaHiiragi Kirai
In the past, many Vocaloid songs portrayed worlds that humans couldn’t sing themselves, but the world of “Eva” is so deep it’s frightening.
The protagonist’s name is Zaika.
The creator has said they don’t want us to lose sight of the essence, and as you listen, you begin to see the protagonist—constantly denied and sinking into depression—lurking beneath the song.
The more you listen, the scarier it becomes.
It’s a wonderful work, so I highly recommend it.

warningSin grass
Released in April 2025, “Keikoku” by Zaimokusa—renowned for their spine-chilling style—delivers an intensely unsettling experience.
Its fantastical, madness-tinged worldview and excessively yandere lyrics are downright terrifying.
Hatsune Miku’s voice rings out with an icy clarity, while the razor-sharp sound design creates a destructive sense of tension.
The resolve of “I will never allow you to leave me” comes through relentlessly in both the music and the words.
The atmosphere is honestly addictive.
A must-listen for fans of the macabre.
Dear Sir/Madam,Pepoyo
Despite its pop soundscape, it draws you into a frightening world—the gap between the two is captivating.
This track by Pepoyo, a multi-talented creator who also handles the illustrations and video, was released in March 2023.
It hits far too close to home, so I won’t quote it here as-is, but I can’t help thinking that only Pepoyo could make a topic like this so catchy.
It’s precisely because it’s so cute that it gives you chills.
Once you’re hooked, there’s no getting out.
Happy Heroine SniperJorujin
This is a song by Jorujin, also known as Dark Fairy Tale P.
As you might guess from the producer name and the title “Happy Heroine Sniper,” this work includes parodies of four fairy tales.
It’s a thought-provoking masterpiece that highlights contradictions in classic stories.
It was released in 2016.
˶╹ᴗ╹˶Sin grass
A horror-themed Vocaloid track that gives you full-body chills.
Created by Tsumikusa, known for their dark style, it was released on February 14, 2025—Valentine’s Day.
From the very beginning, the developments are downright terrifying.
The lyrics paint a splatter-filled world, driven by a downer yet fast-paced sound.
The music video also captures the mood perfectly, and after the “Warning,” well.

Let’s just say, you’ll want to experience what happens next with your own eyes and ears!
I will teach you how to commit the perfect crime.Jorujin
It’s a Vocaloid song that’s so scary you can’t take your ears—or eyes—off it.
Created by the Vocaloid producer Jorujin, also known under the name Ankoku Dowa-P (Dark Fairy Tale P), it was released in March 2023.
The lyrics are based on a trick featured in Soji Shimada’s novel The Tokyo Zodiac Murders, and… well, the content is quite violent, and revealing more would be a spoiler, so I can’t go into detail here.
Even the ominous title is intriguing, and I encourage you to uncover the truth for yourself.
If you’re a fan of detective fiction, this will definitely hit the mark!
