This song shows a great sense of word choice in its lyrics.

The main riff, which gets stuck looping in your head, is another point of darkness.

The illustration used in the video is composed of text, giving it an ominous vibe.

That level of meticulousness is wonderful as well.

Self-Indulgence – Otomachi Una

This is a guitar rock track whose appeal lies in its punchy sound and the piercing vocals of Otomachi Una.

Composed by Komedawara, it was released in May 2020.

The structure is fresh, starting abruptly with vocals and no intro, from which a lyrical arrangement and a wistful melody intertwine.

The lyrics, which calmly recount everyday despair and resignation, overlap with the dynamics that open up dramatically in the chorus, powerfully stirring the listener’s emotions.

It’s dark yet somehow pop, and that exquisite balance draws you in.

Give it a listen when your heart is tired, yet you still want to face forward.

[Hatsune Miku] Bacterial Contamination – 3D PV [Gachikoine CIE] #Gachikoine CIE #CIE @calciu_bot

This is “Bacterial Contamination” by Kanimiso-P, whose addictive style has a strong following.

Its worldview, centered on bullying, is oppressively heavy, and it hurts to listen.

The pain of being ostracized makes you almost want to pass it on to someone else.

If I were in that position, I might think that way too, I can’t help but imagine.

The dark narrative gains even more depth through its eerie soundscape.

I absolutely recommend this track to anyone who wants to fully immerse themselves in a sick, afflicted mood!

autophagyHiiragi Kirai

Autophagy / Hiiragi Kirai feat. flower

This is recommended for those who enjoy dark, moody worlds.

It’s a Vocaloid track by Kirai Hiiragi released in 2019.

The sound is lively yet downbeat, and the melody is distinctive and memorable.

Its mysterious sonic texture has captivated many Vocaloid fans, making it a popular song.

It’ll make you want to clap along and groove.

Zamzaparticles (te-ni-wo-ha)

Zamza / Teniwoha feat. Hatsune Miku

I also recommend “Zamuza,” whose Latin-style melody is addictive.

This track was created by the Vocaloid producer Teniwoha.

Its lyrics portray the heartache of a protagonist rejected by their beloved.

And when you listen to the song, it helps to know about the character named Zamuza in order to fully immerse yourself in its world.

“Zamuza” refers to the protagonist of the novella The Metamorphosis.

She transforms into an insect and has apples thrown at her by her father.

In the novella, there are descriptions of physical pain, but in the song, it can be interpreted as emotional pain.

CursE_youNEW!Taro Bookstore

"CursE_you" / Bookstore Taro feat. Megurine Luka

A gut-wrenching VOCALOID track where loud rock collides with emotional fervor.

Crafted by Shotentaro, it was released in July 2020.

Its sound production alternates between intensity and silence, and the lyric world—centered on the keyword “curse”—is breathtaking in its portrayal of complex emotions intertwining love and hatred.

Recommended for moments when you want to confront the indelible feelings deep in your heart or set your emotions free.

If you enjoy screamo sounds or resonate with dark, earnest narratives, you’ll surely be drawn in.

ParasiteDECO*27

DECO*27 – Parasite feat. Hatsune Miku

It’s a yandere song that sings about the jealousy of seeing the person you like get together with someone else.

Created by DECO*27, a Vocaloid producer known for numerous hits like “Vampire” and “Ghost Rule,” the track was released in 2022.

It’s a danceable number featuring a mysterious synth phrase, with a melody line that incorporates elements of hip-hop—very striking and irresistible to sing yourself.

Overall, it’s the quintessential “this is DECO*27” kind of production.
