[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs
A huge number of Vocaloid songs are available online.
New tracks are constantly being created around themes like emotions, scenery, seasons, and events.
Among them, there are also many pieces known as “yami songs” (dark or depressive songs).
I bet quite a few people like that kind of music.
You might listen when you want something to empathize with your feelings, or play them when you want to think deeply and intensely.
So in this article, we’ll be introducing plenty of Vocaloid yami songs!
Let’s take a peek into the deep, rich world of the Vocaloid scene!
[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Dark/Vented Vocaloid Songs (1–10)
curseBlack rabbit
The world of self-loathing woven by Kasane Teto’s singing pierces deeply into the heart.
This is a work by Kuro Usagi, released in March 2025.
At first listen it’s rhythmic and catchy, but the lyrics are packed to the brim with negative feelings.
The protagonist confronting their unfulfilled emotions will surely resonate with sentiments everyone has experienced at least once.
When you find yourself having to face the sudden anxiety or impatience that wells up in everyday life, you just might remember this song.
Best regards to extinctionszri
A piece of melancholic electronica wrapped in heavy beats and a mysterious atmosphere.
Created by szri and released in February 2025, it weaves delicate melodies into a dark, industrial-tinged sound.
NurseRobo_Type T’s husky vocals and the fragile lyrics pierce deeply into the listener’s heart.
Perfect for when you want to confront the darkness within or immerse yourself in profound emotions.
SynicalityElectric Whale
The song that ranked 14th in the VocaColle Summer 2023 TOP 100 is “Synicality.” It’s a track by DenǂWhale, and at first glance it has a gentle, nursery rhyme-like feel.
However, its lyrics are quite dark, depicting the fish at a fishmonger’s.
There are many terrifying expressions woven in, and you might find your impression of fish changed after listening.
Moreover, it can be interpreted not merely as a depiction of fish, but as an allegory comparing people living in society to fish.
reassessmentMARETU
This song, “Uminaoshi,” grabs you from the very first note.
Each word carries weight, and you can’t look away from the lyrics.
Even though the words should be cruel, there’s a charm that makes you fall in love with them.
MARETU also has other songs like “Umitagari” and “Umareru Mae wa,” so I really hope you’ll give those a listen too.
Colorless Self-Harmnekobōro
When you’re feeling troubled, listen to this song.
You’ll be drawn into its world! It’s a beautiful track that conjures a transparent hue in your mind—just as the title suggests.
The lyrics, which portray the feelings of a protagonist consumed by self-loathing, are the very essence of a dark, melancholic song.
D/N/AAzari
A dark Vocaloid track that you just can’t get enough of.
This piece by Azari, a Vocaloid producer known for a distinctive musical style, was released in March 2025.
Implemented in the mobile game “Project Sekai: Colorful Stage! feat.
Hatsune Miku,” it features tense sound arrangements and lyrics themed around proving one’s existence by probing into one’s genes.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to alone, slowly and deeply, when you feel like confronting the anxieties and inner conflicts that lurk in your heart.
The Howling of the Lost OneNeru
Even if you can solve math equations, you can’t solve that kid’s heart? Even if you can read kanji, you can’t read that kid’s heart? It’s a song about struggling, not knowing what to do.
By the way, singing it when you feel like screaming is really cathartic! However, since it’s very high-pitched, I recommend lowering the key.
