[Striking] A Selection of Dark/Venty Vocaloid Songs (71–80)
Jude, my boyfriendsyudou
How about a Vocaloid song with a shocking ending? It’s a track by syudou, the Vocaloid producer also known for working on Ado’s smash hit “Usseewa,” released in 2021.
The arrangement is lively, but there’s this suspicious, eerie atmosphere—hard to put into words.
It feels as if you can see right through what’s going on in the “boyfriend’s” head in this song.
It’s like an answer song to “Cute na Kanojo,” so try listening to them together.
mafiawotaku
I think you can tell it has a dark vibe just from the title.
It’s a track by wotaku, the Vocaloid producer also known for “Sibylla” and “Gehenna,” released in 2020.
The hip-hop-centered sound arrangement and the way the melody is crafted leave a strong impression—it’s a very cool piece.
And the occasional jazzy touches are stylish.
The aggressive wording in the lyrics fits perfectly with the tone.
It’s a cool Vocaloid song you’ll definitely have on repeat.
What Wendy Realized After Returning from NeverlandDark Fairy Tale P
As the title suggests, this work is based on the world-famous tale Peter Pan.
It’s a song by Dark Fairy Tale P—also known under the name Jorujin—released in 2020.
While Peter Pan is widely known for its exhilarating, story-driven charm, can we really take the tale at face value? The lyrics voice a sense of doubt—through analysis, a darker shadow comes into view, hinting that something else might be happening behind the scenes.
This perspective.

feels refreshing.
Phoboswotaku
A Vocaloid track with a stylish yet heavy atmosphere that sends chills down your spine.
It’s by wotaku, the Vocaloid producer also known for “Gehenna” and “Shanti.” This is the KAITO version of a song originally released in August 2019 with Hatsune Miku on vocals.
The arrangement is irresistibly pop yet tinged with a certain shadow.
The lyrics sing of inescapable loneliness, fear, and inner conflict.
KAITO’s heartrending voice delicately conveys that pain and truly hits home.
Take your time listening and let your imagination dwell on the story.
love dollDECO*27
The first thing that surprises you when the song starts is just how intensely unsettling the illustrations used in the PV are.
The lyrics are also deeply dark yet really cool, and because it still retains DECO*27’s signature catchiness, it also has a fun vibe that makes you want to sing it at karaoke.
Echoes of a rainy voiceOrangestar
When you see someone below you, it makes you feel like you’re still okay, right? In the story, they vent their disgust at themselves for looking down on others to feel secure, and they struggle with that.
But the song gently comforts the listener, saying that this is a normal part of being human and encouraging them to accept themselves without forcing it.
QUEENKanaria
A cool dance tune that lets you savor both swagger and fear at the same time! It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer Kanaria, also known for songs like “Envy Baby” and “EYE,” released in 2022.
It’s by no means a song with a lot of notes, yet it doesn’t feel lacking in the slightest.
The sound work makes you think “this is exactly what it needs,” and it’s jaw-dropping.
The build-up leading into the chorus really gets the energy up, too! It’s also fun to look for connections with Kanaria’s other songs, such as “KING,” where the contrast in the title is particularly effective.
