A chill down your spine. A collection of Vocaloid songs that are scary but make you want to listen (41–50)
Ensemble OrléansJorujin
It’s a Vocaloid track with a noisy electric sound that really sticks in your ears.
The song is by Jorujin, also known as Dark Fairy Tale P, and was released in May 2021.
It takes Joan of Arc as its motif, depicting—through Jorujin’s distinctive interpretation—her supernatural ability to “hear the voice of God,” as well as her extraordinary life in which she was treated both as a hero and as a witch.
The powerful sound and highly narrative lyrics are absolutely captivating.
If this piques your interest, be sure to look into Joan’s life.

Vivid devastationSatsuki
A track by Satsuki, a Vocaloid producer known for cute Akiba-pop.
It opens with an arrangement brimming with panic and hysteria from the intro, and could be called a contemporary number that sets truly yandere-like, deranged lyrics to VOCALOID’s characteristically inorganic, ultra-fast melody.
The contrast between the relentless, driving melody of the verse and the catchiness of the chorus further brings the madness into sharp relief, making for an addictive piece whose arrangement could only be realized in a Vocaloid song.
DorothyMisumi
A song that captivates you with its incredibly beautiful illustration.
It portrays a girl lamenting the absurdity of the world, and the use of Vocaloid is simply exquisite.
I believe it’s precisely because it’s Vocaloid that this worldview comes across.
With its downer track that grabs your ears, it can be introduced as a masterpiece of Vocaloid rap.
follows me everywhereSin grass
It’s a track with a haunting atmosphere, as if it were echoing from the darkness.
Created by Tsumikusa, it was released in April 2024.
Something keeps following right behind you… that lyrical world sends chills down your spine.
The dark soundscape also incorporates elements of hardcore music.
I recommend listening late at night, when you’re alone.
It might also be interesting to explore how it connects with Tsumikusa’s other songs.
Someone more important than meSin grass
If your partner cheated on you, what kind of action would you take? This is a song by Vocaloid producer Tsumigusa, released in 2023.
If you follow the lyrics, I think you’ll understand what happened.
The music expresses the protagonist’s emotions too—the tempo suddenly speeds up from a relaxed pace, the vocals grow more emotional—and before you know it, you’re immersed in the world and can’t stop listening.
It’s such a dramatic piece that it feels like it could be adapted into a visual work as is.
open itSin grass
Released in November 2024, this work showcases Tsumigusa’s signature, madness-infused worldview.
The fear of being coaxed to “open the door,” the presence that tries to forcibly pry open a sealed heart… it sends chills down your spine.
The dynamically unfolding sound arrangement also matches the track’s atmosphere perfectly.
Once you’re hooked, there’s no escape—this is Tsumigusa’s world in full force.
Be sure to experience the horror with your own ears!
HydrangeaUmetora
The heavy sound is one thing, but the waltz-like 3/4 rhythm further heightens the sense of fear.
The backing track is so realistic it’s hard to believe it’s programmed, and the vocals sound so human you’d never think it’s a Vocaloid.
This song is part of a single story.
By listening to the entire series in order, you can immerse yourself even deeper in the song’s world.
