Crime and PunishmentDECO*27

[Hatsune Miku] Crime and Punishment [Original Song]

When I first listened to it, I thought it was a yandere theme.

But after learning the author’s story—“the emotions upon seeing his girlfriend in a vegetative state”—tears streamed down my face.

Interpretations vary from person to person, but when you consider why these lyrics were chosen, you can’t help but be impressed by the depth of the song.

This is a mixture number with an urban sound that leaves a strong impression.

DECO*27 – Phony Tale feat. Hatsune Miku

It weaves feelings for a loved one into a heartrending story.

Released by the popular Vocaloid producer DECO*27 in November 2013, this song is characterized by a band sound centered on acoustic guitar with an oriental flair.

The premise of the lyrics—a message from someone who has passed away—will surely bring many listeners to tears.

Hatsune – Today's Me from Long, Long Ago [PV with Chinese Subtitles]

The official theme song of the four-panel manga “Weekly Hajimete no Hatsune Miku,” serialized in Weekly Young Jump.

With its heartwarming melody and equally heartwarming music video, it’s a song that gently warms your heart.

Perfect for when you want to recharge your energy to do your best tomorrow.

PsychogramDECO*27

DECO*27 – Psychogram feat. Hatsune Miku

Psycogram, produced by DECO*27, already inspires a sense of fear from its hard rock sound and the title “Psycho.” It’s included on the 2019 album Android Girl.

At first glance, the lyrics could be taken as a sweet love song, but as you go word by word, a feeling close to terror surges over you.

In a word, it’s “the ultimate possessive love.” The song alone is quite frightening, but what’s even scarier is the music video.

The horror of the final scene tells you everything about this track.

Poisonous possessivenessDECO*27

DECO*27 – Toxic Possessiveness feat. Hatsune Miku

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!

SToRYDECO*27

SToRY / Hatsune Miku × Kagamine Rin × Megurine Luka × MEIKO

This is a work that portrays gratitude and personal growth.

Created by the duo DECO*27 and Akita Horie, it was released in February 2025.

It was featured as an insert song in the film Project SEKAI the Movie: The Broken SEKAI and the Miku Who Cannot Sing.

While carrying a sense of heartbreak, the protagonist’s determination to move forward is expressed through a band-driven sound.

Many will relate to the portrayal of someone who acknowledges their own weaknesses and grows step by step by sharing with others.
