[Kagerou Project] A roundup of popular songs from the Kagerou Project series (1–10)
Children Recordjin
This is the ninth Vocaloid song by Jin, also known for being covered by Wagakki Band.
Serving as the opening theme of the Kagerou Project, the arrangement weaves in lyrics and melodies from previously released Kagerou Project songs, creating a stirring experience even for those who aren’t diehard fans.
The opening, which progresses from a wistful guitar-and-bass ensemble into a driving beat, foreshadows the start of a grand story.
With its thrilling melody that amps up the tension, it’s a hugely popular track that has achieved double million views.
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.
Evening Scenery Yesterdayjin
Evening Yesterday was produced as the second side story of the Kagerou Project.
This work features Takane Enomoto as the protagonist and depicts her everyday life with Haruka Kokonose, the boy she has feelings for.
It’s a high-energy track with a pleasantly punchy drum sound.
While the lyrics are playful and fun, there’s a certain drama hidden beneath the surface.
Keep that in mind as you listen.
The music video, with its charmingly cute art style, is also a must-see.
Kagerou Daysjin
A Vocaloid song known for being Jin’s third work and his first to enter the Hall of Fame.
Its shocking worldview sparked countless interpretations and drew a huge response.
Musically, it enjoys immense popularity thanks to its addictive synth sound and high-velocity ensemble, and it’s also known for inspiring numerous singing and performance cover videos on video platforms, including by Yukei Rampage.
Furthermore, around the time of Jin’s major-label debut, novel and manga adaptations were announced, making it a triple-million hit that garnered attention across a wide range of media.
Night Talk Deceivejin
Announced as the ninth installment of the Kagerou Project, this is Jin’s 14th Vocaloid song.
It’s a rock tune packed with highlights: a funky guitar riff, a thrilling slap bass, and a technical drum solo in the interlude.
The catchy melody born from the shifting beats between the A verse, B verse, and chorus is enough to get you hyped just by listening.
It’s also known for being covered by LiSA—famous for the smash hit “Gurenge”—on MEKAKUCITY M’s 2: Mekakucity Actors Vocal & Sound Collection, and it achieved “Hall of Fame” status in less than five hours after being posted, marking it as a hit tune.
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.

Kisaragi Attentionjin
Among the series featuring Momo Kisaragi as the protagonist, “Kisaragi Attention” is especially highly acclaimed.
It’s a track included on the first album, Mekakucity Days.
The song portrays Momo Kisaragi, who is on the verge of losing her confidence as an idol, regaining it with the support of those around her.
Its dramatic lyrics make it easy to empathize as you listen.
It’s also recommended to enjoy it together with other songs in the series—you’ll be able to feel the worldbuilding even more deeply.
