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

VampireDECO*27

DECO*27 – Vampire feat. Hatsune Miku

It’s a Vocaloid rock tune with a yandere vibe.

Created by DECO*27, a Vocaloid producer who also writes songs for famous artists, it was released in 2021.

It’s a mixture rock number that effectively incorporates electronic sounds.

The section where it shifts into a jazz style partway through is really interesting.

The lyrics, which liken the feeling of wanting someone too much to a vampire, are cute yet delightfully dark.

With its upbeat feel, it’s a track I highly recommend for karaoke.

Flower of DisguiseNakiso

Phantom Flower / Hatsune Miku

A song written by Nakiso for the rhythm game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.

Hatsune Miku.” It was released in October 2024.

True to Nakiso’s style, it features a dark, mysterious tone and profound lyrics.

The lyrics explore the multilayered meanings contained in the phrase “Bakenohana” (a play on words suggesting both “disguised flower” and “monster’s flower”), depicting the inner conflict between one’s true self and the gaze of others.

With tense melodies and a distinctive rhythm, it vividly conveys the protagonist’s emotional highs and lows.

Be sure to give it a careful, immersive listen.

Yamikawa TokyoKairiki Bear

[Official] Yamikawa Tokyo / Kairiki Bear feat. Hatsune Miku

It’s an addictive electropop track.

Kairiki Bear, the Vocaloid producer known for “Venom,” released it in September 2025.

It portrays the craving for approval and the inner “darkness” behind the pursuit of “cute” in glamorous Tokyo.

You’ll find yourself drawn into a world where cuteness and danger intertwine.

This piece is the theme song for the solo concert “Yamikawa Tokyo Paranoid” held in October 2025.

Be sure to experience Kairiki Bear’s uniquely thrilling sound.

Kurayascoop

[Hatsune Miku Soft] Kuraiya [Original Song with PV]

Scop, a Vocaloid producer known for expressing a unique worldview, the fragility and darkness of the heart, and human weakness.

This song, “Kuraia,” packed full of that darkness and pain, is incredibly relatable when you’re feeling down.

You can sink into it all the way to rock bottom, or let it encourage you.

It’s a “dark” song I want every troubled person to hear.

Mosaic RollDECO*27

[GUMI] Mosaic Roll [Original Song with PV] Subtitled in Chinese

It’s a song that people who are yandere or who tend to depend on others will surely relate to.

But the way we love… it’s different for everyone, isn’t it? It sticks in your head and you find yourself humming it.

With its cool guitar riff and a four-on-the-floor beat you can’t help but groove to, it’s one of DECO*27’s signature tracks.

How to Conquer the WorldNeru

Neru – How-to World Domination feat. Kagamine Rin & Kagamine Len

It’s a song that cries out with overflowing emotion.

The chorus reaches notes so high you’ll probably need to use falsetto to hit them.

There are plenty of long sustained notes, so it might feel great to sing at karaoke! It’s a classic Vocaloid track that blends a lively rhythm with a touch of poignancy.

Nothing I do goes well.meiyo

Nothing I Do Goes Right / meiyo feat. KAFU [Music Video]

Everything is crammed tightly into the title.

It’s a track by meiyo, who’s also active as a singer-songwriter, released in 2021.

It went viral by expressing blunt, negative feelings with a light, hip-hop-tinged sound.

I think you’ll understand when you listen—this is exactly what people mean by “addictive.” No matter how much we put on a front, once you peel back a layer, maybe everyone feels this way… or maybe not.

But it’s definitely possible, isn’t it?
