Teacher, is it okay?rain clouds
What might seem like “a small thing” to others can feel “unbearably heavy” to the person going through it—especially for those in their teens, this will probably hit home.
It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Amagumori, released in April 2022.
While the sound image has a laid-back, band-like atmosphere, what truly comes through from the music is “anger.” The lyrics express feelings toward those who treat you like you don’t matter.
KAFU’s innocent-sounding voice also fits the mood of the track perfectly…
Sequelae, memo, time bomb.Satsuki
It’s a piece by Satsuki featuring Hatsune Miku and Kaai Yuki, included on the album “Zanpai” released in November 2022.
The lyrics delve into past pain and regret, and emotions lurking deep within the heart, giving it real depth.
Its multilayered sound—blending elements of electronica and alternative—is captivating.
The striking contrast between stillness and intensity shakes the listener to the core.
It can hit especially hard when you’re trying to sort out your inner feelings.
I don’t want to die, but it can’t be helped.mourning
Some of you might be under a lot of stress or have gone through something sad and lost your motivation.
If that’s you, I recommend listening to “I Don’t Want to Die, But It Can’t Be Helped.” It’s a piece by the Vocaloid producer Tomoran.
The song portrays a protagonist who’s been crushed by reality and has lost the will to live, lying in bed and sinking deep into their thoughts.
They hit rock bottom, but at the very end of the song, they spring back to their feet.
It’s a “dark” song, but I think listening to it will lift your spirits!
Waiting for the rain.Afternoon tea
For those who find themselves sinking into sadness when memories of parting with someone they love or a friend resurface, this one comes recommended.
It’s a fast-paced rock track by Vocaloid producer Gogo Tea.
You can feel the nostalgic atmosphere of a summer evening.
The lyrics and the tear-jerking melody fit together perfectly—it’s irresistible.

Swirling and weaving throughsigh
It’s an upbeat-sounding track, but the lyrics are filled with dark undertones—like turning our morbid curiosity into music.
Composed by Toiki, who also wrote Ado’s “ANEMONE” and “Corpse Lover,” it was released in April 2023.
A bassline that can even come off as comical, a rhythmic beat, a catchy, snappy melody—and lyrics that sharply contrast with all of that.
If it hooks you, you’ll find yourself in a world you can never escape.
Angel wings.A4。
It’s a cool, funky number that makes you want to snap your fingers! Created by A4, a Vocaloid producer known for hits like “Elephant in the Museum,” it was released in October 2022.
The sound approach, blending a glamorous and cool vibe, is super stylish.
With its urban soundscape, it really hits especially well when you listen while gazing at the city night view.
Pay attention to the lyrics, too, where swirling emotions—feelings of inferiority and anxiety, as well as the will to move forward—take center stage.
Enjoy.
I’m dead.Shino Mirin
A philosophical Vocaloid track that depicts the concept of the “individual” in contemporary society.
Created by Vocaloid producer Mirin Shiino, who made a name with the hit “Then Your Ideology Should Just Die,” it was released in 2022.
You could call it dark EDM—that might be the simplest description—and its pressing, encroaching sound sets your heart on edge.
Before you know it, your hand will be reaching for the volume-up button.
While the driving beat tends to grab your attention, be sure to listen for the chill piano phrases running underneath.
There’s even a poetry-reading-style section in the middle… It’s a highly sophisticated track, packed with clever twists that never let you get bored.
