Released by Jorujin in September 2023, this work is the 29th entry in a dark fairy-tale series inspired by the story of Peter Pan.
Set to a downbeat sound, it depicts the inner conflict of the protagonist, Michael, seven years after a tragedy.

Happy Heroine Sniperjorujin4rank/position
This is a song by Jorujin, also known as Dark Fairy Tale P.
As you might guess from the producer name and the title “Happy Heroine Sniper,” this work includes parodies of four fairy tales.
It’s a thought-provoking masterpiece that highlights contradictions in classic stories.
It was released in 2016.
The Iron Maiden and the Dreamy Princessjorujin5rank/position
Many people are surely fans of this eerie worldview.
This piece, created by Jorujin—also known as Dark Fairy Tale P—and released in 2020, has a very catchy tone and melody, but if you follow the lyrics, you’ll sense the horror.
Its subject is the historical figure Elizabeth Báthory… though I can’t recommend looking her up.
Still, it’s a highly original Vocaloid track that only Jorujin could elevate in this way.
Perfect Crime Masterclass, Part Three — The Eight Graves Arcjorujin6rank/position
Turning a mystery masterpiece into a Vocaloid song! Released in May 2025, this is the third installment in Jorujin’s “I Will Teach You the Perfect Crime” series.
It’s a dark suspense track inspired by Seishi Yokomizo’s classic The Village of Eight Gravestones, featuring an impressive multilayered narrative that replaces the characters with Vocaloids.
The mysterious sound and tension-filled melody brilliantly capture the village’s legendary Eight-Gravestone curse and the fate bound to hidden treasure.
There are spoilers, so if you haven’t yet, consider reading the original first!
Ensemble Orléansjorujin7rank/position
It’s a Vocaloid track with a noisy electric sound that really sticks in your ears.
The song is by Jorujin, also known as Dark Fairy Tale P, and was released in May 2021.
It takes Joan of Arc as its motif, depicting—through Jorujin’s distinctive interpretation—her supernatural ability to “hear the voice of God,” as well as her extraordinary life in which she was treated both as a hero and as a witch.
The powerful sound and highly narrative lyrics are absolutely captivating.
If this piques your interest, be sure to look into Joan’s life.
