[Kagerou Project] A roundup of popular songs from the Kagerou Project series (1–10)
The World Affairs of Konohajin
A stylish rock tune with that distinctive Kagepro vibe, sung by Hatsune Miku and IA! Released in 2012, “Konoha no Sekai Jijō” is, as the title suggests, a song themed around Konoha.
If you’re familiar with the series, you may have noticed: it’s a counterpart to “Kagerou Daze.” Not only do the lyrics reflect that, but if you listen closely, the melody right before the chorus is quite similar.
In other words, it’s a must-listen for comparison! That fast-paced guitar phrase really gets you hyped, doesn’t it?
Lost Day Hourjin
A song that revisits the end of summer from an adult’s perspective within the story of the Kagerou Project.
Through lyrics that recall former friends amid everyday scenes and streets bathed in the glow of sunset, it reflects the contrast between the radiance of youth and life in the present.
The pastoral band sound really sinks in, too.
Included on the album Mekakucity Reload released in November 2018, it serves as an epilogue-like piece within a collection that arrived about five years and six months after the previous album, Mekakucity Records, carrying the lingering aftertaste and postscript of the story.
At summer’s end I’ve forgottenjin
A nostalgic rock ballad that symbolizes the reboot of the Kagerou Project.
Featured toward the end of the third album, Mekakucity Reload, released in November 2018, this song is a poignant piece themed around fireworks at summer’s end and a parting of ways.
The wistful piano phrases and synth tones that seem to spread across the night sky create a fleeting beauty that draws you in.
The lyrics, in which the protagonist desperately wishes to keep holding hands until the very last moment, are heart-wrenching.
It’s a masterpiece that leaves you feeling the lingering afterglow of the series—impossible to listen to without tears.

Outer Sciencejin
The noisy soundscape is sharp and cool! Outer Science is a work released in 2013, with the character known as Kuro Konoha as the protagonist.
Its aggressive sound arrangement perfectly matches the highly combative lyrics, making you want to crank the volume way up.
Kuro Konoha’s thought process is depicted as-is, so if it’s your first time, be sure to compare it with other songs in the series and try speculating about who he is.
Headphone Actorjin
With razor-sharp guitar and a heavy, thudding bassline, this track is irresistibly cool.
Released in 2011, “Headphone Actor” is a piece that features Takane Enomoto—a character from the novel Kagerou Daze II: a_headphone_actor—as its protagonist.
Its lyrics project a decadent atmosphere inspired by the game world depicted in the story, perfectly matching the song’s stylish tone.
By the way, the vocals are by the voicebank IA, and this is one of the demo tracks unveiled before her official release.
Lost Time Memoryjin
Jin’s 15th work and the 10th Vocaloid number in the Kagerou Project.
This song plays a crucial role in the story and is also known for reaching a million views at the 8th fastest pace in history.
Its driving ensemble, featuring a hysteric guitar sound, seems to link with the impactful lyrics.
A rock tune where madness and pop sensibility coexist, it instantly pulls you in with its catchy chorus.
Ene’s Cyber Journeyjin
You’re overwhelmed by a razor-sharp sense of speed, like you’re sprinting through a sea of electrons.
It’s a track included on the album “Mekakucity Days,” released in May 2012.
The lyrics, written from the perspective of a girl who has lost her body and become a digital being, leave a strong impression with their sci-fi worldview and biting word choices.
The way she reconstructs her ego in a space of zeros and ones is essential to understanding Ene, a key character in the story.
It’s a song that instantly pulls listeners into cyberspace.
