Qsiinamota
The sound that starts with a rock vibe is cool, and the melody in the chorus is so impactful you won’t forget it after a single listen.
It has strong dark elements, but the sense of openness feels pleasant, so listening to it is refreshing.
The offbeat drumming is irresistible.
[Hits you hard] A Special Feature on Dark/Vent Vocaloid Songs (51–60)
to liveAtsu Mizuno
Like the title, it’s straightforward—a piece that reflects feelings many, especially younger generations, are likely to have.
It’s a song by Atsu Mizuno, who also works as a singer-songwriter, released in 2021.
The track is composed solely of KAFU’s vocals, piano, and strings, yet its clarity and depth are astounding—you feel as if you’re being drawn into the sound as you listen.
And the lyrics are something you can relate to if you feel afraid of tomorrow coming.
This is surely the kind of music that will sit right beside you.
Tenshō Shō TenshōKikuo
This song, Kikuo’s 13th work, is one of the original Vocaloid tracks that has reached a million views.
The artwork is by Shiku, and the video was created by Kikuo.
If you’re curious about the incomprehensible lyrics in the latter half, try playing it in reverse—you’ll hear words come through.
The sound has a haunting, horror-like feel, but it’s addictive.
I bet many people feel like they could listen to it forever.
When the morning glories fallJips
The decadent lyrics linger in my mind.
However, despite the content of the lyrics, the falsetto is beautiful.
It gives off a very poignant atmosphere.
The lead-in to the chorus is so powerful, and I think it’s an outstanding ballad.
The guitar tone, which feels like pure emotion poured straight out, is great too.
Goblin shark?Hiiragi Kirai
Just from the intro, you’re completely immersed in its world.
Created by Hiiragi Kirai—known for the distinctive worlds of tracks like “Autophagy” and “Bocca della Verità”—this piece was released in 2020.
It’s a unique song that plays on the homophony between “love” and the deep-sea fish “goblin shark” (loveca/loveka), brimming with Hiiragi Kirai’s signature eerie flair.
The brisk horn section phrases slide through your ears and shoot straight through your mind.
Once you’re hooked, there’s no getting out—such is this VOCALOID track.
Poisonous possessivenessDECO*27
I think people who are possessive or self-centered can relate to this song.
It has a cool vibe, and the low tone right before the chorus is striking.
The theme is something like, “I can do anything for the one I love!!” Also, pay attention to the song structure where the tempo changes partway through!
collapse; fainting spell (colloquial/slang)Iyowa
It pierces me with the sadness behind its poppiness.
It’s a track by multi-creator Iyowa, who also handles the illustrations and video, released in 2021.
The ever-rolling, never-stopping progression is striking.
The bouncy piano sticks in your ears—a cute sound arrangement.
The catchy melody pairs perfectly with KAF’s adorable vocals.

but when you parse the lyrics, you start to see the feelings at the moment of parting with someone you love.
My heart is in shambles at the protagonist’s realization that the end is near.
