The Kagerou Project is a series of Vocaloid songs by producer Jin (Shizen no teki-P).The songs in the series are the following: Songs originally released on Nico Nico Douga Jinzou Enemy (Artificial Enemy) Mekakushi Chord (Blindfold Chord) Kagerou Daze (Heat-haze Daze) The PV by Wannyanpuunote this isn't canon Headphone Actor Souzou/Kuusou Forest (Imagination/Fantasy Forest)note this song was initially titled Souzou Forest in the original upload, however, it was changed to Kuusou Forest for the album. Konoha no Sekai Jijou (Konoha's State of the World) Kisaragi Attention Children Record Yobanashi Deceive (Night Tales Deceive) Lost Time Memory Ayano no Koufuku Riron (Ayano's Happiness Theory) Otsukimi Recital (Moon-Viewing Recital) Yuukei Yesterday (Sunset Yesterday) Outer Science Summer Time Record Shissou Word (Never Lost Word)note Released December 29 2017 Additional Memorynote released September 14, 2018 Album-exclusive songs Dead and Seek Shinigami Record (Reaper Record) Ene no Dennou Kikou (Ene's Cybernetic Journey) Toumei Answer (Transparent Answer) Gunjou Rain (Ultramarine Rain) Shounen Brave (Brave Boy) Marry no Kakuu Sekai (Marry's Fictional World) Imaginary Reload My Funny Weekend Lost Day Hour Remind Blue Wasurette Shimatta Sekai no Owari ni (Fireworks in the Summer End)So far, Jin has released 3 albums (Mekakucity Actors, Mekakucity Days & Mekakucity Records) and a single (Children Record). The third album, Mekakucity Records, was released on May 29 and mostly concludes the song series. A fourth album was released after the major songs had been produced, titled Mekakucity Reload, in November 2018.All of these songs connect to each other to tell the story of a town and a select number of its inhabitants who seem to have special abilities concerning their eyes. These songs, coupled with the novel and the information that Jin releases come together and are collectively known as the Kagerou Project. Everything can be a little difficult to understand, so if you need any help with that there are guides to the series here (outdated, chronicles up to "Summer Time Record" and the third light novel) and here.Now has a character page.Please only list down tropes relating to the music here. If it refers to the series as a whole or the light novel and manga adaptation, please list them down on their respective pages.

Villain Song: "Dead and Seek" and "Outer Science" are both sung from the perspective of the Big Bad. The former is about his unethical experiments, and the latter is mocking the heroes for thinking they can resist him.

Early-Installment Weirdness: The first three songs produced used Hatsune Miku for the vocals, while most of the later songs used IA. "Jinzou Enemy" and "Mekakushi Chord" were also electronic songs, while "Kagerou Daze" and all following songs were rock.

Forced to Watch: Poor, poor Marry during "Outer Science"... "Konoha's State of the World" is basically this trope in song form, as he's powerless to prevent the deaths of Hibiya and Hiyori during "Kagerou Daze", instead having to watch it over and over.

Expressive Hair: Marry's hair tends to start moving and waving around much like snakes whenever she feels growing excitement or happiness. Takane's pigtails fly upward when she'd either annoyed or flustered (or both) by Haruka in the "Yuukei Yesterday" video.

Idol Singer
 Kagerou Project (Music) / int_78c61d79
comment
Idol Singer: Momo from "Kisaragi Attention" is an extremely straight example. She seems to be an idol singer almost exclusively from her ability to draw people's attention with her "eye-captivating" ability, resulting in her isolation from her peers. She gains a good set of friends after meeting the Blindfold Gang members.

Spell My Name with an S: Is it Kagerou Days or Kagerou Daze? Most have taken to the former and official merchandise lists it as the latter, but it still isn't totally clear on what everyone should use. It's the same problem with Lost Time Memory and Loss Time Memory.

Revisiting the Roots: "Never Lost Word" and "Additional Memory", along with the rest of Mekakucity Reload, altogether use Hatsune Miku for vocals, while the majority of prior songs were made with IA. The gesture resembles the early days of the project when Miku was used for the first handful of songs.

This Is Gonna Suck: In Wannyanpuu's "Kagerou Daze" PV, just before she's impaled during the second verse, you can see Hiyori frown and clutch her hands against her chest. Given The Reveal that she was also aware of the time-loop at the end of the song, she probably knew what horrible death she was about to experience.

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming
 Kagerou Project (Music) / int_ac4ac8e5
comment
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: There are three variations to the song titles: Most songs in the series tend to be titled (Japanese word)(English word)note These songs are mostly akin to that of character songs as they discuss more character-specific parts of the story, some are completely Japanesenote Konoha's State of the World & Ene's Cybernetic Journey; they're in a (song's main character) no (something relevant to the song) pattern—roughly translates to something along the lines of (song's main character)'s (something relevant to the song). They tend to talk about plot driving events, and others are completely English names note Headphone Actor, Dead and Seek, Lost Time Memory, Outer Science and Additional Memory; These are extremely plot relevant songs.. Odd Name Out: "Children Record" somewhat breaks this pattern, but this is probably because it's more of an "opening song".

Mind Screw: "Headphone Actor" starts with Takane finding out the world is going to end and hearing her own voice contacting her to tell her how to survive. It gets stranger from there. "Ene's Cybernetic Journey". Storywise, it covers the year between when Takane left the Kagerou Daze and when she reunited with Shintaro, which it conveys via a string of cryptic statements, bizarre digressions, and internet-related imagery.

Art Evolution: It's very slight and a little hard to catch, but in the six months between "Children Record" and 'Yobanashi Deceive", Sidu's art style changed from round-ish and slightly deranged stylization for each character to body builds more fitting for their ages that's more anatomically correct (though still somewhat deranged).

"I Am Becoming" Song: "Shounen Brave" for Seto, about how his meeting with Marry taught him that bravery can mean reaching out to others. "Ene's Cybernetic Journey" for Ene, about how her journey through the world of computers changed her. "Never Lost Word" for Kido, about her wanting to move past her fears and open up to her true companions.
