[Hits Home] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs

ParasiteWorld's Backside P

[Original] Parasite

Although it’s a song about a troubled girl, Miku’s voice sounds gentle.

The bass and drum tones are refreshing, making it pleasant to listen to.

As the song progresses, the lyrics overflow with deeply dark, unhealthy words, yet when it ends, I find myself wanting to listen again.

Curse, curse, curseFuyuu

Jujuju / Hatsune Miku, Kaai Yuki

If you’re looking for music with a strong narrative that sends shivers down your spine, this is it! This piece was released by Vocaloid producer Fuyuu in August 2025.

True to its title, it explores the theme of “curses,” expressing the emotions of a protagonist trapped in an inescapable fate.

The dramatic metal-gothic sound intertwines with the wistful vocals of Hatsune Miku and Kaai Yuki, gripping the listener’s heart.

Give it a listen on a night when you want deep immersion and lingering afterglow!

Egonomy / feat. KAFU

I think you’ll be hooked within the first 10 seconds! It’s a track by the Vocaloid producer ت, who drew attention with their debut song “Alma,” released in February 2022.

The relentless sound arrangement and melody throughout are absolutely overwhelming.

The lyrics, filled with irony and clever wordplay, are another major draw.

Kafu’s razor-sharp vocals fit perfectly.

Just like what’s expressed in this song, I can’t help but feel I might be a bundle of ego myself… You might be left with something stirring in your chest after you finish listening.

Nibi-iro DoroureTsumiki

Nibi-iro Dorōure / nibiiro dolore – rin [Original]

These are lyrics that make you want to read deeply into them.

Created by Tsumiki, the author behind songs like “Recollection Endroll” and “Ground Zero,” it was released in 2018.

I’m introducing it as a dark-themed song, but its stylish sound is highly addictive and actually gets you hyped as you listen.

[Vocaloid] Glow – Miku Append Dark [Vietsub]

Memories that won’t disappear, no matter how hard I try to erase them.

Even though I know I’ll be hurt by half-hearted kindness, I still find myself wanting it.

I’ve known many kinds of pain, but this is the first time I’ve felt anything like this, and I don’t know what to do.

This song is about that kind of inner struggle.

It’s a pretty brooding theme.

Eme’s BirdcageRen

Emerald Birdcage – Ren feat. Seikai

This song draws you into a beautiful yet deranged world where a beloved person is locked inside a cold birdcage.

It’s a work released by Vocaloid producer Ren in July 2025.

A dark-pop number with a waltz rhythm that lingers in your ears, it expresses the warped emotions of binding the one you love precisely because you love them, all through a dreamlike sound.

It’s frightening yet impossible to look away—that’s its allure.

Immerse yourself in this allegory-rich world.

Caprice CastYugika

Caprice Cast / Narukami Mikoto

This is a dark Vocaloid track infused with hip-hop and EDM elements.

Created by Vocaloid producer Yugika, it was released in 2021.

With its hardcore-tinged sound, unpredictable development, and razor-sharp vocal work enhanced by high-pitched noise, it’s packed with appeal.

You can’t help but listen again and again.

The lyrics evoke troubled romance and barren human relationships, which may resonate especially with younger listeners.

It’s a highly sophisticated work whose unique worldview and soundscape are hard to escape from.
