Vocaloid/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Moe~ ^_^

Since Vocaloid is pretty much a blank slate for whatever the composer decides to make, many of them can turn out differently than the next. These composers and songs just... decided to try and scare you. Fortunately for them,[1] these songs did.

Machigerita-P

...You know, let's just say most of the songs by Machigerita-P (except for a couple of surprisingly cute songs he created for Miku) are made to scare you. And horribly scare you they do.

  • Dark Woods Circus, Wide Knowledge of Late, Madness, and Alice Human Sacrifice. The fan artists are of no help.
    • Especially Alice Human Sacrifice. Meiko's Slasher Smile as she cuts the flowers down, the terrified look on her face as the shadowy arms grab her, Kaito singing to a pack of skeletons and shooting himself in the head, the shot of Miku's humongous eyes filling up black, the blood-spattered crown...and that's not even counting the song itself, which ends with Rin and Len being made to wander the Wonderland FOREVER. The worst part? All the events of the story were generated by a dream that came to life and didn't want to be forgotten, so it lured in the Alices and had them create the Wonderland in which they met their fates. Which means you could potentially be the next Alice if you have the dream. Have fun sleeping tonight.
    • The scariest part of Dark Woods Circus is a bit of Fridge Horror in the last 30 seconds of the PV. You see pictures of the children who came to the circus, and then the next picture is of one of the... Exhibits. But the thing is, they're the same people. And right before that part, the protagonist looks up to see a shadow looming over her...
      • And at the very end she's become part of the circus. And then she hands you a flyer...
      • MORE wonderful Fridge Horror, remember the fact that Haku and Neru were on stilts? With all the Body Horror going on it's very unlikely that those were actually stilts. Chances are, those were their actual legs!
      • And the scariest part of Dark Woods Circus? The fact that it's based on true stories about Japanese circuses in the edo period (1600s)! At these circuses they would kidnap or find orphaned children, mutilate and deform them alive, and put them on display. They would also rape the children ON STAGE and throw acid in their faces if the children disobeyed!! Good luck seeing circuses the same way ever again.
        • Personally? This troper hopes to hear a song about the captives of that circus being freed by a hero or group of heroes, and the people in charge of that depravity being brought to justice. That would be in the Heartwarming and Awesome pages for sure!
      • The scariest thing to this troper is the very idea present in the ending montage. You and your friends hear about a circus in town, so you decide to go. But, instead of happy fun times, you are all kidnapped and forcibly turned into the attractions. Have fun going to the circus.
    • Don't forget about Wide Knowledge of the Late, Madness. Cute art and creepy lyrics do not for good dreams make. One word, several 31 and a half times: Watashi, watashi, watashi, watashi, watashi....
  • Yet again by Machigerita-P(who also made the terrifying Okasan below) Patchwork Toxin. You might get uncomfortable, and I don't just mean due to terror.
  • The only time I have ever been prevented from sleeping because of a song was for Rotten Girl, Grotesque Romance Oh sweet mercy is she looking at me!?
  • Red Swamp Bottom is a sequel to Dark Woods Circus, and is much, much scarier. It's about Miku in hell, for god's sake!
    • Special mention has to go to the tortured screams in the beginning and this particular set of lyrics:

It hurts, my skin is burning
My intestines are being dragged
Now look, rotten fruit in my melting eyes
Leave no trace of themselves

  • Hateful Wonderland. The artist is the same from "Rotten Girl, Grotesque Romance," so the imagery is quite unnerving... OH GOD IS SHE LOOKING AT ME?!
  • The Full Course For Candy Addicts. "I love you so much I could eat you." The song is about her describing what her lover tastes like.
  • If you thought Alice Human Sacrifice was scary, watch Alice in Wonderland, also by Machigerita-P.
  • Once again by Machigerita, Human Destruction Machine. The scary thing? The translated lyrics are most likely about prostitution and abortion.
  • Machigerita-P's done it AGAIN, using either Miku Append Light or Miku Append Vivid, in "Shukujo Berry no Tsukurikata", also known as "How to Make A She-trawberry". And it's most likely some kind of unholy cross between horror and porn from the lyrics. Link's not provided here, 'cuz... well... it's about rape. That, or about someone eating a strawberry cake. Probably the former, knowing Machige.
  • "Sweet Candy Factory" by Machigerita-P. Your Mileage May Vary, but if the lyrics doesn't scare you, the images are enough to overstimulate your senses...
  • Okaasan is the undeniable master of all HONF for Vocaloid, hands-down. Lyrics are in the comments.
  • If you thought Wide Knowledge of the Late Madness was scary, wait until you check out the original PV.


Others

  • Thanks largely to the contributions to this page, and to a certain troper's nightmare fetishism, there is now a youtube channel made especially for dark, horrifying, or just plain strange Vocaloid songs. All of the songs feature English subtitles, and the songs posted so far include a few from this very page. Enjoy.
  • Circle You, Circle You. If you don't feel like watching the PV, this image pretty much sums it up. Children dismembering each other for all of eternity, anyone?
  • "Moonlit Bear" starts off with a woman finding these magical fruits in a forest, taking them with the goal of making her husband happy and encountering an evil bear who wants the fruit back. Sounds like a nice adventure story, right? Fridge Horror gets applied at the near end of the song when its revealed that the fruit are really babies and the bear is the distraught mother. Made even worse when its revealed that she MURDERED THE MOTHER TO STEAL HER CHILDREN. Fits into Adult Fear too.
  • Anybody here seen In The Depths Of Darkness? When I first saw it, I felt like there was something creeping up on me the whole time. In the DAYTIME. At NOON.
  • Machine Muzik. Seriously. Just see for yourself.
    • Then watch the sequel, Nehanshika.
    • The creator, Deino (on Youtube known as Deino3330), was also behind this little nightmare. The song itself isn't Vocaloid, although the video does involve Calcium. Character's named Ca Calne, with "Ca" pronounced as separate letters, and is shown in the picture above.
    • BitCrushe isn't as bad as the above videos, but it's still extremely eerie.
    • "Bacterial Contamination" (or Saikin Osen). Oh. Dear. God. Why. I have no words to describe this other than terrifying. I'm not even sure I want to know what the lyrics mean. I literally just saw this on my Facebook feed and was like "ooh. new song. Maybe it'll be good." and then I played it and... *shudder* I don't even.
      • The song is about an unpopular girl being mocked and bullied by others, in turn becoming a bully herself in an attempt to make herself feel better, and then committing suicide to try and get away from the "infection." In the end, she states that, even though she could die to get away from the suffering, she still couldn't even die with dignity because of the things she'd done.
  • You don't think Kaito can be scary? Behold a Story About A Poor Rabbit.
    • KAITO ga UNINSTALL: Kaito goes Yandere and kills the other Vocaloids so he can be his master's center of attention and affection. I don't know about you, but if I was his master I'd have the opposite reaction instead.
      • Worse still; The way his master is standing over him implies that he's HAPPY OR EVEN IMPRESSED WITH HIM! This says a lot about his master...
        • The PV has a part that is both this and a Tear Jerker; When Kaito is about to kill Rin and Len, you can see Len throwing himself in front of Rin to protect her.
  • Fear Garden, in which Rin sings about cutting the other Vocaloids' arms off and planting them like flowers in her garden.
    • It gets better at the end. We find out it was all a dellusion in her head as we see her talking to other Vocaloids. Then comes the closing lines:

Rin: Its all a lie...Maybe.

    • Then we see her put something bloody in her closet. Nearby is a hand stuffed in a flower pot. The fingernails on the hand are the same color as Len's. Fridge Horror kicks in when you realize, after the dellusion's over, you don't see him at all...
    • Oh, remember the beginning, when Rin is stabbing something blurry? If you didn't identify it already, that bloody, blurry mess is Len
  • With a title like Hold, Release; The Rakshasa and the Corpse, what else can you expect?
    • Worse is that the lyrics might be about child prostitution. Maybe.
      • But it gets worse. Miku in this video is the still-tormented ghost of a girl from an abusive family. She wants to be 'strong' and forget all the horrible things in her life (her abusive parents, their divorce, being sold into sexual slavery) so the Rakshasa teach her how to crush her memories, and thus her former self.
      • Other interpretations end it with the prostitutes murdering their pimp, customers, and/or the parents who sold them. Not sure whether this is worse or better.
      • The most common interpretation is that the song is about how utterly cruel children are.
      • Word of God said that the song was meant to be about how easy it is to lose innocence. But that the other interpretations can also fit
  • Monochrome Ward by Rin and Len did this for me. I dunno, but just the fact that Psychotic!Len and Rin switched bodies at the end and the amount of blood doesn't make things any less freaky for me...!
  • The Tailor Shop on Enbizaka sung by Luka Megurine
    • The song itself is about the titular tailor being sad as she sees her lover with various girls, mentioning crimes happening around the neighborhood. Finally, when a man is killed, she notes that the four people killed were a family. Poor Communication Kills doesn't even begin to cover it. She didn't even know the guy.
      • It gets even creepier if you consider this: she wasn't just dressing like his 'girlfriends'. She was stealing the clothes from their dead bodies and tailoring them to fit herself.
  • The Purple Forest sung by Miku and Kaito. The creepiest thing about this song is that there is no ominous notes, it sounds sweet and pretty and lovely the whole way. The only way you know it is creepy is if you watch the video, and after that, the simple fact of such a pleasant sounding song with an ominous backstory is chilling.
    • In case you're too nervous to click, the story is about a forest that no one likes to enter. A traveler (Kaito) wanders in and meets a pretty young girl (Miku). She turns out to be a dryad who lures people to her, and absorbs them into her tree for sustenance. She does this to Kaito while he sleeps, while the whole time Kaito believes he's being taken to a paradise. And then at the very end of the vid, Miku looks right at you with the beginnings of a Slasher Smile.
  • We Were Friends Until Yesterday by Miku is a deceptively cute song about a girl that becomes friends with a weird sunfish...thing. Takes a turn for the worse when their food runs low and her "friend" starts to look more like food...
  • Advent Devil is the song that forever changed the way I see Kaito.
  • Corpse Attack!!, sung by Hatsune Miku. Except for the part with the guitar solo showing the real life guy, this song could scare people that aren't used to this kind of music on a Vocaloid. Especially if you read the lyrics. Miku is encouraging you to kill people. The random voice switches and the music video doesn't really help. This is the only song that freaks me the hell out whenever I listen to it.
  • "A 13-Year-Old Killer," by Kagamine Rin. The subject matter is upsetting enough, but the dark, creepy sound of the song and the male narrator that you can barely make out over the music barely helps. And the final spoken line of the song is chilling, once you put it all together...
  • SHOTA=RELEASE, a spinoff of RIP=RELEASE featuring Len. As a RAPE VICTIM. It's also loaded with overtones of "It's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It".
    • Does this song even count? It wasn't made to scare it's listeners nor was it scary in its lyrics or music, furthermore, the claim of rape is a mistranslation. The word he used in Japanese means "Be sweet to me", not "rape me".
  • Even Yuki isn't exempt from horror songs. Just check out "Crushed Mary." Just don't turn up the volume too loudly...
    • The same artist has apparently done a series of Vocaloid noise songs. Including more by Yuki. absence seems to most resemble a traditional song, but it's still incredibly oppressive and hopeless-sounding. The translation of the lyrics doesn't help. "That child isn't anywhere... that child isn't anywhere... that child isn't anywhere... that child isn't anywhere..."
    • Now we have Yuki singing a homage to the Lavender Town Tune, at first it's just creepy and unsettling but then you get to the end
  • Love Disease, is a fairly upbeat jazzy song, but God help you if you alt+tab your way to the video after the 2:30 mark.
    • DEAR GOD, WHY DID I DO THAT?!
  • Prisoner and Paper Airplane ride on the anxiety caused by being permanently separated from a loved one. Except in this case, one part of the couple (Rin) is a terminally Ill Girl, and the other part of the couple (Len) is in a prison—no, a concentration camp. We first, in "Prisoner", witness Len being put to death in a gas chamber--not a pretty site for anyone who's survived the Holocaust (or has family and friends who have). Then in "Paper Airplane", we see Rin being put on gradually more life support, until she ultimately passes away.
  • InSaNiTy, a fan-made song by Kaito and SF-A2 Miki that's about insanity.
  • Itai Atashi Ashita Aitai is a very strange and schizophrenic song already, and it could easily qualify to be here on its own. However, it was originally uploaded as a swf, meaning that it can - and does - have easter eggs. The first one is activated if you pause at any time during the video. The girl in the picture looks directly at you. The second is activated if you pause at 0:23. The picture is inverted and the last section of the song plays backwards. The third is activated if you pause at 2:52. The picture is inverted and the entire song up to that point plays backwards. They aren't that scary if you look for them on purpose, but definitely so if you stumble on them accidentally. You can see the video (including easter eggs) on YouTube here.
  • Did I mention that it has a sequel, 'Wakako and Ruriko's Break Blocks'? OR IS IT A PREQUEL???? It can be found here
    • Not only does it have familiar lines to 'Itai Atashi Ashita Aitai', but a lot of the notes are the same, too.
    • The entire video is a rainy night scene with two people, one of which looks a bit taller (A mother, maybe? What did the other song say she did to said mother?). And then at the end you see the knife in the little girl's hand is 'DRIPPING' with blood
    • That's nothing compared to what you can see in the original NicoNicoDouga broadcast if the video is paused at 2:21...
    • Could you link me to a Youtube video demonstrating this? My... parental robotic units won't let me upgrade the flash player...
  • Trick and Treat is about Miku being lured into a house in the woods by Rin and Len, and being drugged with candy to make her fall asleep. She wakes up sooner than they anticipated and suddenly remembers where she knows the pair from. They're her old dolls, which she abandoned after getting a new one. Once Rin and Len realize that she's awake, things get worse in a hurry. The twins want Miku's heart... and succeed in getting it.
  • Conchita, the Epicurean Daughter of Evil starts off innocently enough with the titular character (played by Meiko) portrayed as a Big Eater who specializes in unusual delicacies. Then she eats Kaito. And the other servants. Until ultimately, still not satisfied enough, she eats herself.
    • From the same producer and series: Madness of Duke Venomania, in which the titular Duke, played by Gakupo, makes a Deal with the Devil to enslave a number of beautiful women and make them serve as his harem. Him being handsome does not change the fact that he is a fucking creeper. For a slight boost in insomnia, look at the age of one of his victims. It's censored, and heavily implied to be a single digit.
      • On the same list, there is one victim named Josephine. Watch Daughter of Evil and you'll know who Josephine is.
    • Let's just say that most of the Seven Deadly Sins series is made of this stuff.
  • I find The Riddle Solver Who Can't Solve Riddles more than a little disconcerting, as it starts out with Len interrogating his sister, who apparently has murdered all the guests... but by the end of the video it's fairly obvious Len is the one who killed them all and he's about to do the same to her.
    • It's worse than that, as Rin spends part of the video apparently planning to stab him, and The Reveal comes with Len practically begging her to run away before he's forced to kill her.
    • Rin's companion song, The Riddler Who Won't Solve Riddles, appears to be a Mind Screwdriver for Riddle Solver, yet the lyrics don't match the title, as she declares her intent to solve the mystery in his place. Then comes her final verse: "If a person who can solve this riddle appears, I will trap that person inside this story..." then both turn to the viewer and say "Welcome to our world".
  • Cotton Rose. The fact that it's based on a murder is chilling enough, but when the lyrics are translated...
  • Parasite. A hard, thrashing, dark metal song featuring distorted vocals and lyrics that are probably about mosquitoes that carry deadly disease... written from the point of view of the mosquitoes.
  • Twilight Homicide Song. Meiko can be pretty scary too. And that mask.
  • This might just be me being a wuss but I find it disturbing that (provided you looked closely enough) the dragon from Synchronicity has SIX WINGS. How does it fly with all of those things?!
  • Engloids are not exempt from this. Big Al's Beat Beat Tick Tick.

Beat. Beat. Tick. Tick.

    • This troper went into the video thinking it to be just another Yandere type song. Cue the line implying that Al fell from very high up, and then the realization that the picture wasn't him covered in blood from a murder - It was his OWN. Yea. He's laying on the ground DYING, and the beating and ticking is his heart slowly stopping as he does. She made a pathetic whimper-like noise and had to close the tab before screaming.
      • Also how aparently someone(people?) found his almost dead body while he can bearly understand whats going on around him. Yikes.
      • From the same writer, we have Halloween Requiem. A group of teenagers try to summon dead spirits but it goes horribly wrong and a bunch of evil spirits emerge from their Ouija board. The spirits are extremely offended at the fact that nobody is afraid of them because of Halloween and promptly start attacking people to "strike fear back into their hearts (and it's implied that their first victims were a bunch of trick-or-treaters). Leon is shown running from a demon and in a total panic. Miriam, a nun, believes that it's the apocalypse. Lola and her husband are suddenly attacked in their own home. Big Al, a doctor, tells a wounded Leon that he can't help him because "the hospital is overflowing" and that he should probably stay there because "it's safer there" and "free space is growing" (implying that more people are dying than he and Sweet Anne can treat). Sonika is lying in an ambulance and implied to be dead at the end of her verse. At the climax, something happens that causes the monsters to leave, but their fear remains in the world's heart as it's revealed at the end that due to the incident nobody celebrates Halloween anymore; instead, they celebrate the day that October passes. At the end, the Engloids give us some advice: "If you choose to laugh at evil make sure you think twice". AND THEN, SURPRISE DEMON!!!!
  • Kaito's Koi Uta is absolutely terrifying.
  • In a similar vein to the above, possibly, is... this. It's a 30 second video of Miku repeatedly stabbing... someone. The amount of blood around and the sound that the stabbing makes both imply that she's been at this for a while, and she doesn't seem to be interested in stopping.
  • This.
    • For those who don't tend to click unmarked links, it's a Megurine Luka song, in English, based on the following Rugrats theory: "The Rugrats really were a figment of Angelica's Imagination. Chucky died a long time ago along with this mother, that's why Chaz is a nervous wreck all the time. Tommy was a stillborn, that's why Stu is constantly in the basement making toys for the son who never had a chance to live. The De Villes had an abortion, Angelica couldn't figure whether it would be a boy or a girl thus creating the twins."
      • The song itself is told from Angelica's point of view, as she declares that her world is perfect as long as she has her friends (the babies) with her. But she can't help but doubt herself, wonder if she's "a princess or a psychopath." She also notices that the adults seem concerned, worried for her, but she declares that they shouldn't because she has her friends...but then she suggests that, deep down, she knows it's not true. Her friends don't exist, her perfect world doesn't exist, she's made it all up...And then just as quickly, she picks up the delusion once again, because she has to live in a perfect world where things are alright. The fact that the music is similar to "Alice Human Sacrifice" doesn't help matters.
      • The song is even worse when sung by Kaai Yuki, since she (obviously) sounds younger and thus fits the role of Angelica better.
        • Pity that the Japanese "translation" on that one is crap. It sounds nice, but the mistakes are failed-101-level bad.
  • Onii Yuukai sung by Rin, Miku, Luka, and Kaito. In it, the three girls sing about how much they want Kaito. They then ambush him in the middle of the night, rape him, and kill him.
    • Another point of view has it that they locked him away to be their sex slave. YMMV as to whether this is worse.
    • ... To the tune of "Meltdown."
    • Well, it is a Meltdown parody song. More like a "Kidnapping of loli" answer song - in the beginning of Onii Yuukai PV, we see Kaito walking through the crowd with the cute loli Rin clutching his hand. Rin looks into camera, seemingly sweet and innocent - and then OH GOD that feral smile...
    • What's even scarier is that unlike Rin and Luka, who plainly want Kaito, Miku just wants to kill him. Oh, and do NOT pause at that scene in 4:55. It would give you nightmares.
  • May I present SF-A2 Miki singing the Lavender Town theme, from Pokemon, a song frequently used or at least referenced in the horror stories of the Pokemon fandom.
  • This. Whatever the hell this even is. A... song, if you can call it that, apparently titled "Suicide Girls" and "sung" by Hatsune Miku. I can't read Japanese and, thus, don't know anything else about it, but if there's anyone out there who can, an explanation would be greatly appreciated.
  • "50/50," a Miku song about a girl who is jealous of her best friend Mari-chan's new boyfriend... so she cuts him in half so that they can share. "Mari-chan and I go halfsies on everything."
    • Now available with English subtitles.
      • At one point, after Miku...urgh..."does her division tables", she claims that not only is Mari-chan crying, but her teacher and classmates are too. Meaning that she most likely DID THIS AT RANDOM, OUT OF ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF CLASS!!!
      • Actually, it's more likely that she killed him during a break or recess, possibly inside of an empty classroom. It wouldn't make much sense to do something like that out in public, where everyone there could stop her.
        • That doesn't make it any better. That just means that she killed him when he was totally helpless, then showed his pieces to her entire class as though it were nothing!
  • Meet Pilom-san.
  • Ladies and gentlemen, meet Shiteyan'yo, a corruption of Miku with twintails-turned-legs. Whereas Hachune Miku and Takoluka are geared more towards being cute (and even then, YMMV), Shiteyan'yo is anything but adorable.
    • That's not the worst of it. Recently, Deino produced this display of Shiteyan'yo, which I do NOT advise watching at night: I WARNED YOU! Did I mention- the video is also available in 3D???
    • OK. I'm pretty sure all of us are too scared to take a look at the video, so can someone please explain the video to us?
  • "Black Hole Artist," by Utsu P, the creator of the above "Corpse Attack!!" Rin's face.
  • "Momoirousagi," by Kagamine Len. Some tropers have found it to be more disturbing than the above "Okaasan," so click with caution.
  • Just to make it easier for everyone: any song with an accordion in the background, Luka singing broken English, an already high-pitched vocaloid singing at an even higher pitch, and obviously a slightly off picture at the beginning will count as this soon enough.
  • "In a Rainy Town, Balloons Dance With Devils," by Hachi, features an eerie, surreal sound and lyrics, and the PV has been animated to match.
    • Reminded this troper of Story of the Blanks.
      • Wanna know the best part? Judging from what the comments are saying, the story behind it is that Miku ends up in a strange town, gets gang-raped, freaks out and kills her rapists, finds out that she's pregnant and keeps the baby even though she's ashamed of how it was brought into the world. Yikes!
    • "Ward Room 305", its sequel, is about Miku going mad after such pregnancy. It includes the same creepyanimation style of the above song.
    • To this troper, from the combination of the two videos, it seems that Miku was actually with a boyfriend who ran a flower shop, but he was low on money. He decided to get a loan to avoid eviction, but when he didn't pay the people back they broke in and raped Miku in front of him while he watched (possibly beating them both before and after). The boyfriend, ashamed of letting that happen to her and having no money, committed suicide by hanging. When Miku found him, something in her psyche broke. After authorities found her laughing sobbing and freaking out pointing at the corpse, they committed her to an asylum where she took medicine to make her calm and happy, but she started to become paranoid that all the people around her were demons. Then Miku discovered she was pregnant and, convinced it was a demon child from the rape, stabbed herself and the baby. After this she is reunited with her boyfriend in the after-life. The saddest part is it might have been her boyfriend's baby.
  • So no one but me finds the girl at 2:21 of "Panda Hero" terrifying? And then there's the close - up
  • Despite its awesome tune, Kagerou (translation: Heat Haze) Days can be a bit scary to watch, especially the PV Version. The song is essentially about a Groundhog Day Loop wherein a boy is forced to watch his friend die in increasingly horrible ways, no matter how much he tries to prevent it. In order to break the loop once and for all, he goes back to the first death (the girl gets smashed by a speeding truck) and sacrifieces himself so the girl could live. And just when you think that all is said and done, the ending of the song shows the girl seemingly going through the same loop, only with the boy dying instead. The song also counts as a Tear Jerker.
    • Aaand for extra horror, there's another version that's even more blatantly graphic on ... certain events. Its art, however is based on a series I don't know, so that may add a miniscule amount of confusion. It's also a very well done male cover. Here you go: Kagerou Days Cover Oh, and as a trivia of the day, Kagerou is a Japanese homynym for both Heat-haze and Mayfly. Make of it what you will.
  • This song about HIM from The Powerpuff Girls. The PV shows a sillhouett that looks like Bubbles and her Octi doll is on the floor in front of her with HIM's sinister shadow radiating from it. HIM tells Bubbles "not to cry" and that he wants her to "smile". He then tells her to "give in to her fight" and "take the anger deep inside and bring it into light". at the end, his message gets more and more garbled and then he promises to Bubbles that he will give her anything she wants. He then tells her that she's "his to control"...and to "prepare to attack".
  • Wendy By Mothy well....we can already tell it won't be happy despite the cheery tune. With a girl trying to follow Peter Pan by jumping out of a window and dying, how could it be?.
  • This video, in which Uboa covers PoPiPo. It's a lot scarier than it sounds.
  • Though it isn't truly Vocaloid-based, the artist watashinokoko creates noise songs using the program La La Voice, a technical predecessor to Vocaloid. Many of these songs are incredibly nightmarish. Examples include:
    • Like You. The song starts out very quiet, but then the noise kicks in. And the content of the song and video itself does nothing to take the edge off; the song starts off normally enough (for a noise song,) a flickering image of a girl in the background, and then words appear on the screen, requests (ranging from "fuck me" to "listen [to] me.") And then it changes to "Kill me." Repeated over and over and over again, as the image of the girl in the background flips upside-down and starts to change, her eyes darkening until they're entirely blacked out.
    • Complex. A dark, mysterious, and discordant song with surreal imagery presented in black, red, and white.
  • The producer of this song is Kikuo, a relative unknown, but Breaking Things Into Pieces gets the point across what type of producer this person is. Do we start with the fact that if the vocals are taken out, it sounds like a rousing march? Even though the imagery is very Neon Genesis Evangelion-esque. The lyrics, you ask? It talks about a girl who can't stop breaking things. The chorus tells us that the girl can also rebuild the objects she destroyed in order to break them even more "to the point [where] you forget it's original shape". Then comes the explanation. She destroys precious objects because the more memories an object goes through, the more it become attached to a person's soul. She's equating property damage with homicide. And the kicker is that there is a person that loves her. Her last act is to destroy every object they possess, before killing herself as her lover is now part of her. Throw in Nightmare Face and shattered like glass bodies and the Holy Shit Quotient gets to be pretty high.
    • If you think THAT'S scary, you clearly haven't checked out the rest of Kikuo's discography. Point in case: "I'm Sorry, I'm Sorry." The song is about father-daughter sexual abuse... from the emotionally broken daughter's point of view. Bonus Squick points for the nausea-inducing imagery used to describe how damaged and violated the girl feels by the acts she's subjected to.
    • I'm sorry, but i can't accept the fact that it's about sexual abuse. The song made it sound like Miku was slowly being eaten alive!
  • Two words regarding Samidare Bulldog. EAR RAPE.
  • Oh dear God, Hide and Seek. See U hasn't even been out for that long and already her songs are scaring the crapola out of me. And this is coming from a girl who wants Calne Ca as a room-mate and Shitenyanyo as a pet.
  • Lynne or Rinne is a song by Hachi. You may know him from Hold, Release; The Rakshasa and the Corpse. The craziest part is that even Hachi calls this song "more emo than usual". The image ain't helping' none, I'll say that.
  • From the same creator of iNSaNiTY, here is You Are Mine. Quite possibly this troper's all-time favourite Yandere Luka song.

"I'll die...I'll die! just to get away from you!"
Aw, why? Don't die!
You know I will still own you!

  • Bad End Night. Even though the song is fairly up-beat and jazzy, it is actually quite sinister. A girl (Miku) is lost with a letter to go to some mansion. She finds it and is greeted by the other Vocaloids. Later, she tries to go to sleep, only to find that no time goes by. She runs away, only to find graves. She finds that they are pretty much planning to kill her. In her fear, she pretty much kills them all. And then the final lines...
