The Vocaloid witch hunt is a phenomenon that refers to the widespread criticism and negative portrayal of Vocaloid music and its fans. Vocaloid, a singing synthesizer technology developed by the Yamaha Corporation, allows users to create artificial songs through specialized software programs. These songs are then performed by virtual singers known as Vocaloids, who are represented by animated characters. Despite its popularity in Japan and some parts of the world, Vocaloid music has faced significant backlash and ridicule, especially on social media platforms. Some people have labeled it as "fake" and criticized its lack of authenticity and human emotions. The critics argue that Vocaloid music lacks the personal touch and emotional depth that traditional human singers bring to their performances.

Witch Hunt
Lyrics from Animelyrics.com Now, please take a look, at this sad story.
Don't forget to have your handkerchief ready.
Lyrics from Animelyrics.com In a faraway place, there was a witch.
She fell in love with a prince.
Lyrics from Animelyrics.com They spend a lot of time together in happiness,
that the witch has almost forgotten her time-stopping magic.
Lyrics from Animelyrics.com Pinned to a cross, I look up at the sky,
(Repent! Repent!)
while the voice of prayers dies down.
(My devotion has evaporated into nothingness.)
If you're going this far as to call my love "witchcraft",
(Repent! Repent!)
then I will envelop everything in my flames of hatred.
(Death is weighing down upon us!)
Lyrics from Animelyrics.com Now, please take a look, at the seemingly burning sky.
Don't forget this flame of justice.
Lyrics from Animelyrics.com In a faraway place, there was a witch.
She deceived and seduced a prince.
Lyrics from Animelyrics.com The happy time is now over for him
who was once under the witch's charm.
Lyrics from Animelyrics.com Tied to a cross, she calls for the devil.
(Repent! Repent!)
Before she loudly chants her wicked spell,
(Virtue has become vice.)
Cast judgment upon her sinful witchcraft.
(Now everything there is)
Envelop her in the sacred flames of righteousness.
(has derailed from the right path and gone mad.)
Lyrics from Animelyrics.com Such foolishness of the hollow people.
(Repent! Repent!)
The redness of the setting sun burns on.
(Death is weighing down upon us!)
Lyrics from Animelyrics.com They spend a lot of time together in happiness,
that the witch has almost forgotten her time-stopping magic.
Lyrics from Animelyrics.com Pinned to a cross, I look up at the sky,
(Repent! Repent!)
while the voice of prayers dies down.
(My devotion has evaporated into nothingness.)
If you're going this far as to call my love "witchcraft",
(Now everything there is)
then I will envelop everything in my flames of hatred.
(has derailed from the right path and gone mad.)
Lyrics from Animelyrics.com Do not forget the reason behind these tears of blood
(Repent! Repent!)
red as burning flames!
(Death is weighing down upon us!)
