DAFTCommand High Drink
Crank up the volume to fully savor this track! It’s a piece by Vocaloid producer ⌘Hainomi, released in 2022.
With a surging bass, unstable pitch lines, and suave horn-section phrases, it never gets old.
The explosive chorus and dance-inducing developments are great, too.
There’s also a solid dose of that “yami-song” vibe: ironically calling the world you live in “wonderful.” All in all, a highly addictive Vocaloid number!
The Sun Above and the Gutter RatUtsu-P
From the very intro, it has a dark vibe.
It’s a melodic Vocaloid metal track titled “Otentosama to Dobunezumi” (“The Sun and the Gutter Rat”).
Created by Utsu-P, a Vocaloid producer active in providing songs for anime and singers as well as in band activities, it was released in 2019.
The lyrics self-deprecatingly sing about unpleasant things that befall the narrator.
Despite its heaviness, the catchy chorus is just unbelievably cool!
Empty MelodyUmi-kun
What is true love, really? When you feel lonely and in pain, this song might stay by your side.
It’s a track by Umikun, who works as a singer and YouTuber, released in 2021.
It’s also the title track of the album that was released around the same time.
The arrangement is characterized by clarity and a sense of depth.
And the way it builds toward the latter half really stirs your emotions.
Plus, Kafu’s trembling vocal delivery matches the lyrical message so well that it pierces straight through.
BADDIE BUDDY BUNNYSumia
Sumia’s “BADDIE BUDDY BUNNY” expresses a sticky, all-consuming kind of love.
In this track, flower sings the male part and Hatsune Miku sings the female part.
The song depicts a man and a woman, disillusioned with the world, becoming self-destructive yet still loving each other.
Its unique, dark, and bewitching aesthetic is a major draw.
The exhilarating, fast-paced sound can also be interpreted as portraying the duo’s reckless rampage.
HydrangeaUmetora
It’s a Vocaloid song with a gothic atmosphere.
Created by Umetora, a Vocaloid producer also known for “Ifuudoudou” and “Koshitantan,” it was released in 2018.
The lyrics depict a protagonist who seeks a precious existence even at the cost of throwing everything away—their intensity and strength of feeling are almost frightening.
At the same time, it evokes a poignant sadness, making it a heart-wrenching Vocaloid track.
It’s connected to Umetora’s other song “Sakurasou,” so be sure to give that one a listen as well.
Shadow Flame ≒ Variationyairi
Sung over a cool, driving guitar sound are themes of the meaning of life and emotional emptiness.
It’s a “yami” song that evokes sinking into sorrow and descending into madness.
Despite the intense tempo and dark lyrics, it somehow leaves you feeling oddly calm as you listen.
Everyone has felt betrayed by something at least once.
This song wraps around the heart’s scream in those moments.
Horror Gardencha~
It’s a horror-style track.
This is an astounding piece by Chaa, who’s well known for crafting eccentric, denpa-style songs.
The dissonance gives you the creeps.
The highlight is how Rin’s innocent voice blends with lyrics that lay bare twisted desires.
If you like a little-devil Rin who lifts you up only to drop you down, this one’s for you!
