[Yandere] A Special Feature on Chilling Vocaloid Love Songs

Yandere///SicknessEVE

[Hatsune Miku] Yandere///Sickness [Lovestruck Menhera]

It’s a mixture hard rock number that overwhelms you with its heavy, resonant band sound.

The track is by the vocaloid producer Eve, also known as the creator of “Gekka ❁ Midare Botan,” and it was released in 2017.

The thick, full-bodied sound makes you want to turn up the volume.

On top of that, Miku’s vocals have a clear, translucent quality, and that contrast is irresistible.

The break with the dropped rhythm is insanely cool, too.

And just like the lyrics say, sometimes you end up falling apart precisely because your feelings for the one you love are so strong… there must be many people who can relate.

Blood

It’s a dark piece with heavy bass and an unsettling melodic line that pierces the heart.

Composed by Azari and released in October 2024, it features flower’s vocals, which exquisitely capture the song’s fantastical yet suggestive lyrical world.

Blood is used as a motif for love, drawing you into its downcast mood.

Once you’re hooked, there’s no escape—an unmistakably Azari-style electronic number.

Kill Me, DarlingREISAI

Kill Me, Darling / Kagamine Len

A dark, emotional track that paints a world where late-night loneliness and dependency intertwine.

Through the contrast between a healthy lover and an unhealthy self, it expresses a love and fixation that verge on the pathological.

Released in October 2023, the piece captivates with a driving sound that fuses electronica and rock.

Featured on the album “Isai” and performed at the live show “High Sense,” it’s a fan favorite.

It will deeply resonate with those struggling in love or those who want to stake everything on a once-in-a-lifetime romance.

Hard Mode Girlfriend / nyamura

Nyamura, who’s gaining attention as a singer and rapper, has released her first digital single, “Hard Mode Kanojo.” It’s a girly, gentle-sounding track.

The lyrics depict a wish to spend time alone with a loved one.

At first listen it seems like a cute love song, but it actually takes the theme of someone stalking another person online.

The methods used and the stalker’s state of mind are portrayed so realistically that it’s frightening.

The Devil, the Girl, and Blind Jealousybike

A cool and dreamlike mixture rock track whose fast-paced tempo leaves a strong impression.

Vocaloid producer Chari released “The Devil, the Girl, and Blind Jealousy” in 2012.

It’s loud and oriental, at times majestic, then shifting into a waltz—its dizzying sound arrangement pulls you right in.

The lyrics are built on the fairy tale Snow White, resulting in a strongly narrative piece.

“I want to make the person I love mine, even if I have to borrow the devil’s power”—surprisingly, many people might relate to that, don’t you think?

Why does it feel so yandere despite being so cute? This piece is by the Vocaloid producer Tomura, who also drew attention with “It Ends but Repeats,” and it was released in 2022.

At first it sounds like a pop tune, but the subtle arrangements—wobbly pitch, a shifting rhythmic axis, and sudden injections of hardcore synths—heighten a sense of unease.

It also shares a worldview with what’s known as the “yume-kawaii” aesthetic! Songs like this make it hard to break out of the repeat loop.

[GUMI] j e l L y [Original Song]

This is a song about a boy driven mad with jealousy after being dumped by a girl.

Unable to accept the reality that she’s fallen for someone other than him, the lyrics are written as if they were still together.

The anguished cries of a painfully deluded boy who can’t imagine being disliked pierce the heart.
