[Yandere] A Big Feature on Chilling Vocaloid Love Songs (61–70)
Beautiful, and darknessone two three
A burning jealousy toward someone who approaches the person you like… this song captures a feeling almost everyone has experienced.
It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Hifumi, known for downtempo rock tunes, released in 2019.
It’s a band piece centered on a distorted, effects-laden guitar sound, and it leaves a very easy-to-listen impression.
Precisely because of that, the narrative quality of the lyrics comes into clear focus.
“Why won’t you look only at me?”—that feeling really pierces the heart, doesn’t it?
sickly sweetNakiso
Have you ever felt like you wanted the time you spent in a relationship and the effort you put in for the other person to be returned to you? Amattaru portrays those feelings in a straightforward way.
This is a track by Vocaloid producer Nakiso, created using Kaai Yuki.
Set to a drum’n’bass sound, it steadily lays out anger and resentment toward the other person.
The part where it describes direct methods of retaliation is pretty chilling.
That said, there are also phrases sprinkled throughout that convey affection for the other person.
Just Be FriendsDixie Flatline
Lyrics that fixate on a lover as they were when you first met, and wish to find them again even after being reborn, feel a bit unsettling for something called pure love.
They pretend to sing of a resolve to step toward the future, yet it’s obvious they haven’t truly given up on the other person.
Am I the only one who senses an eerie quality, as if they’re intoxicated by the despair of heartbreak?
Prisoner of Lust and DesireHitoshizuku-P × Yama△
A story-style Vocaloid song with an exotic flair.
Created by the powerful duo Hitoshizuku-P × Yama△, who have produced masterpieces like “Bad ∞ End ∞ Night,” it was released in 2015.
It’s rhythmical yet carries a strong dark impression, and the lyrics weave a tale of cursed love.
It almost feels like watching a scene from a movie.
There are even phrases where the sound arrangement itself conveys the worldbuilding.
The section right before the final chorus is especially a must-hear.
Someone more important than meSin grass
I’d like to introduce “Someone More Precious Than Me” as a song with striking key changes.
It’s a piece created by Tsumikusa using Hatsune Miku.
The first half has a gentle, conversational feel, then the tempo suddenly picks up and shifts into a jazz-like sound.
There are other key changes sprinkled throughout, so check them out.
By the way, the lyrics center on a woman who rejected someone but can’t let go of her feelings and suffers because of it.
This complex situation is part of the song’s appeal.
Moumoku PoemYuzuhiko
Composer Yuzuhiko is very famous among Vocaloid producers, isn’t he? He’s released many popular songs with a dark, afflicted vibe, and this one in particular portrays the darkness of the human heart.
It’s that dangerously intense kind of song where you love someone so much you want to control them, watch their every move, follow them anywhere! Basically a stalker, right? (lol) But doesn’t it really capture that overwhelming desire to be together because you love them that much? The risky lyrics keep you on edge!
Ghost StraitKTKT
A song about cursing a friend who suddenly left and turning them into a ghost that belongs only to me.
The other person might have had their own circumstances, but by the time I realized that, it was already too late, and I had become a ghost to them as well.
Judging from the complex lyrics that both resent the other person yet still long to see them again, the two might have been lovers.
