[Kagerou Project] Compilation of Popular Songs from the Kagerou Project Series (11–20)
Mekakushi Codejin
The song “Mekakushi Code” features Kido, the leader of the Mekakushi-dan, as its protagonist.
It’s the second installment in the Kagerou Project series, released in 2011.
Its blend of band sound with futuristic synth phrases gives it a vibe of “new music.” As mentioned, in addition to the Hatsune Miku version, a version sung by Yasagure Koneko has also been released.
It has a distinctly different atmosphere from the original, and it’s incredibly cool.
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?
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.
Otsukimi Recitaljin
The Kagerou Project series has many cool songs, but this one is catchy, dazzling, and cute! Otukimi Recital, themed around Momo and Hibiya’s relationship, was released in 2013.
The energetic sound of the brass parts alone brightens your mood! And the lyrics, which convey Momo’s feelings as she tries to cheer up Hibiya, end up encouraging us, too.
When an unpleasant haze is swirling in your chest, this song might just blow it all away!
Imaginary Reloadjin
This track is the second song on the third album Mekakucity Reload, released in November 2018.
Described by Jin as having “the highest offensive power to date,” it features a strikingly fast-paced band ensemble that unfolds at breakneck speed.
Riding a beat peppered with slap bass and brass-like phrases, the lyrics champion a stance of laughing off everyday failures and forging ahead.
It’s an energetic rock tune that unleashes moratorium emotions wavering between reality and ideal.

Summertime Recordjin
Jin’s 20th Vocaloid track, positioned as the ending theme of the Kagerou Project.
It’s a song that achieved his 13th million-hit milestone, and like “Children Record,” which serves as the opening theme, it’s filled with elements that evoke earlier Kagerou Project works.
The arrangement progresses from crisp guitar arpeggios into a fast-paced rock ensemble—perfect for the grand finale of a sweeping story.
It’s a rock tune you’ll want to keep listening to, with a refreshing yet somehow sentimental melody that feels just right.
