The Putin-P Series is a song series created by the user Numtack05, or "Putin-P," using the VOCALOID program. With the first song uploaded in 2008 and the final song of the series uploaded in 2012, the song grew a sizable fanbase and lengthy articles on the Vocaloid Wiki. It’s arranged into four parts, with three albums released that expand on the series with exclusive songs. The majority of the PV and album illustrations are done by Shiuka.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The story centers around the main characters of the series, Kagamine Rin and her love interest Kagamine Len, two Vocaloid programs attending Junior High in Japan. Unbeknownst to the two at first, Rin and Len are reincarnations of a pair with past lives in Russia. As their old memories are accidentally returned to them, they have to deal with the consequences of this past life carrying on into the new one. Along with them is the Vocaloid Hatsune Miku, an idol who also attends Junior High for being held back, and other more malevolent figures from their past lives.In part due to poor translations of the songs being the most popular in circulation, the series is known among its English fanbase for being extremely confusing and zany, with some songs that seem to have been made on drugs (drugs, used recreationally and for a more heartbreaking purpose, featuring in the story adds to this claim.) It features liberal references to Japanese, Russian, and American pop culture with modern-day politics at its forefront. As an example, Ronald McDonald and Vladimir Putin both feature as prominent characters in the series.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Very often, and it even becomes a minor plot point in the latter half. The characters in "A Place to Chat" remarking on how confused the audience must be. Rin thanking her audience for watching her story in "Goodbye to You★" The bonus song "I Don't Wanna Hear it!" has the characters remarking on their own PV images.

comment
Ironic Echo: Miku's line from "If We Meet Again," "If we could meet again/Surely we'll be happy," is repeated to ironic effect twice: The first time is in "We Met Again, eh?" which features Camui Gackpo, who was once Irina's comrade, meeting Rin who was once Irina and remarking on how they've met again. Miku sings her lines right after Camui shoots Rin. Although the words aren't spoken, the lines are given a musical Call-Back in the first "The Voice in My Heart" when Elena meets Teppanov again, her childhood friend. The music is playing over a picture of her having just committed suicide.

comment
Reincarnation Romance: Seems to be the case for Rin and Len, who have "reincarnated" together after their tragic past and struggle to have a relationship. Funnily enough Len's love starts being the unconditional love of a dog, and part of his character arc is how it transformed into a partner-based love between humans.

comment
Bittersweet Ending: Leaning heavily on the bitter, as by the final song Irina's data has been completely erased and she comes out of the data-world as a blank slate Kagamine Rin; she did, however, go out happy that she was able to share her story with the world. Meanwhile, for the other characters, Miku stays behind in the data world to stay with Ronald, most if not all of the characters involved in Russia are dead, and Len exits the data world left with only the blank slate Rin.

Stock Sound Effects: Many of the songs, particularly early ones, use stock sound effects spliced in with the music. Snippets from Ronald McDonald's ad campaigns is one of the most common.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Miku comments that she knows people are watching her song in "With the You I Can't See" (the video even moving out to look like it's playing on a computer screen). Eventually its revealed that she wasn't talking about the audience, but the fact that Teppanov was watching.

comment
Reincarnation: A huge theme in this series, although not every character is a reincarnation. Kagamine Rin and Len are the biggest examples, being respectively a Russian agent serving under Putin, named Irina, and her beloved dog. Although in another twist, it turns out reincarnation is impossible and they're actually programs made to remember the lives of real people.

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The text of the characters are colored so as to indicate which one is singing (and which version of themselves is singing). For example, Rin sings in yellow, Red Rin sings in red, and Irina sings in white.

Arc Words: From the very start, the words "don't leave me alone." "Today is our Sunday" and "lalalala happy" are also a few. Certain characters are given reoccurring nicknames in the songs, such as Miku being the "one who's nothing" and Rin being the one "with eyes that don't vanish."

Doing In the Wizard: In Part 3 it's eventually revealed that the reincarnation issue is actually incredibly detailed data files on the entire incident reconstructing the personalities of each person involved that were created by Elena, and ended up uploaded into the Vocaloids. Bringing back their memories was really just rebooting the program.

"Blind Idiot" Translation: The most popular translations of the series made when they first came out, due to lack of interest by more fluent translators, were done by those inexperienced with Japanese or using a machine translator for much of the work. As expected, this led to many misconceptions. One of the more casual mistakes was translating "the world's most pure machine gun" as "the world's number one machine gun of purity".

Art Shift
 Putin-P (Music) / int_912b24c4
comment
Art Shift: Once the shading becomes a bit more detailed near the end of Part 2, the final song, "The Eyes That Don't Vanish", briefly brings back the more two dimensional style with thicker and darker lineart. It's also formatted more like movie scenes than the others. The final song of the entire series has no shading with the characters fully animated on videos of the real world. There's also an art shift in the song itself when Len starts reminiscing on his time with Rin, wherein the memories are shaded, static images with drawn-in backgrounds.

comment
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Len in his past life was this, accidentally triggering the whole tragedy that prefaced their deaths. As a dog he stole a yellow scarf and was going to show it to Irina. Her comrade, to whom the scarf belonged, pursues and then shoots him, and Irina goes on a massacre in response. Len becomes this in Part 2 as well, giving Rin her memories back and unwillingly causing her eventual demise.

Shout-Out
 Putin-P (Music) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The series is positively filled to the brim with visual and audio shout outs to various elements of Japanese pop-culture. "Let's Dream" has Rin referencing the Miku song "Melt." In "Together" Rin plays as Zangief from Street Fighter (the Russian character, of course.) Len's ringtone is "Yaranaika", to the tune of "Balalaika." The Vocaloids often make several references to Sazae-san, with the character's heads showing up in some videos or speaking through sound clips. In "The Other Side of the Mirror>" Len mentions attacking Gakupo with a "Misawa style elbow" while his text briefly turns green.

Art Evolution: The series' first videos were just images of Rin from her box art when she was first released. When Shiuka started illustrating the videos in Part 2, the pictures were somewhat simplistic in terms of shading and content, often featuring only two pieces of art for the entire song. Compare that to Part 4, where there's semi-realistic shading for each character and several pictures and splicing effects that make it seem like a movie rather than static images.
