[Kagerou Project] A Collection of Popular Songs from the Kagerou Project Series (21–30)
Ayano’s Theory of Happinessjin
The wistful sound of the acoustic guitar and the sorrowful vocals really sink into your heart.
Released in 2013, “Ayano’s Theory of Happiness” is, as the title suggests, a song that features Ayano—who appears from episode 1 of the anime version—as the protagonist.
If you’re familiar with the Kagerou Project’s story, I think this one will especially resonate with you.
It’s a work that projects Ayano’s background quite thoroughly.
That’s also why it ends up tugging at your tear ducts…
Additional Memoryjin
A poignant yet intense rock number told from the perspective of Ayano, the girl at the heart of the story.
Included as the lead track on the album “Mekakucity Reload,” this piece became the long-awaited “additional memory” for fans.
The lyrics, capturing the feelings at the moment of throwing oneself into the sky and the unspoken thoughts for someone dear, tighten the chest.
Another draw is the dramatic development where a driving band sound intertwines with piano melodies.
Immerse yourself deeply in the lingering afterglow of the series.
Lost Wordjin
A Vocaloid number by Jin, released in December 2017 as his 22nd work.
The band sound, featuring piano and strings, stirs the listener’s emotions.
Many will likely be moved by the lyrics, which depict a protagonist who struggles to put their feelings into words yet begins to step toward the future through an encounter with someone important.
It’s a song that blends gentleness and strength, one we especially recommend to those who have something they want to say to family, friends, or a loved one but can’t quite find the courage.
dazejin ft. meiria from GARNiDELiA
A track produced as the opening theme for the TV anime Mekakucity Actors, featuring MARiA from GARNiDELiA as guest vocalist.
Released in June 2014 as the single “daze/days,” it marked the beginning of a new chapter in the story.
The exhilarating ensemble, fusing electronic elements with intense guitar sounds, conveys the strong resolve of a lonely protagonist facing the world.
With piercing high tones that shake the listener’s heart, this piece is a fitting, high-energy tune to grace the “front” of the story.
Dead and Seekjin
I’m drawn in by the psychedelic arrangement.
The track “Dead and Seek,” which centers on one of the characters, Kenjiro, is included on the 2012 album Mekakucity Days.
Its drum’n’bass-like rhythm, the writhing guitar, and the persistently repeating synth phrase that contrasts with it—all of these elements come together in a striking harmony.
I can’t be the only one who senses something ominous when listening.
You might only grasp the song’s true significance after learning the real story behind the Kagerou Project series…
In conclusion
Since the songs in Kagerou Project have a chronological order, it might be good to listen while looking into that.
Of course, each individual work also has its own solid appeal on its own.
Please enjoy the Kagerou Project series in whatever way suits you!
