 * "Regret Message" is released on May 25, 2008 by Akuno-P on Nico Nico Douga.
 * It originally uses the voice of Kagamine Rin and details her standing by the sea and throwing a bottle containing her wish to be reborn with the one who was used to with her, as a local legend says the wish will come true if she does so. This sight brings back a past memory of the one who were always with her and she regret what she has done. The wish she made was "If we could be reborn, I want to be with you again".
 * Akuno-P gave key words to this song;「君が教えてくれた、ひそかな言い伝え」("A secret legend that you told me").
 * Later, "Re_birthday", which is the third song in the "Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta " series, was made for "Regret Message".


 * Akuno-P released a "velvet mix"on February 7, 2009. This can be listened by buying the CD "prelude to forest" only. Also "Regret Message" was included in the Theater Play Evil Series album.

Daughter of Evil Series

 * It has been debated if "Regret Message" is a part of the series or not since Akuno-P has just mentioned that it is up to each fan's interpretation; On the song page of Nico Nico Douga, Akuno-P answers about the matter only this way; "I think that it is good by the interpretation of each person." Therefore, we could not know the Akuno-P's real intention about whether this song is one of the series or not.
 * However, he gave many tantalizing hints which seem to imply the relations. Another clue was given in 2010 when Akuno-P released the final song in the Evil series, Shiro no Musume (Daughter of White). The song directly quotes lines from both "Servant of Evil" and "Regret Message", somewhat seems to show that the two are related. Also "Regret Message" was also included in the Theater Play Aku no Musume album. (In this regard, Akuno-P announced that he just offered the new song "Twiright Prank" and the plot story for the play, and the script for the play was written by an actor withhis own interpretation and has different storylines and settings) Consequently, many fans have regared "Regret Message" as the third song in the "Daughter of Evil" series by fans, which tells of the Daughter of Evil's feelings directly after "Servant of Evil", related to the plot story which Akuno-P posted on his blog. They interpret the song like this; Rin realizes that it had been her own selfishness that had killed Len in Servant of Evil. Apparantly, the wish she had was also the Servant's wish before his death.
 * On Aug 7, 2010, a promo of the novel "Daughter of Evil, Cloture of Yellow", which is written by mothy and will be released on August 10, 2010, was given out. According to it, "Regret Message" is involved in the series.

 * There is no doubt that "Re_birthday" is written for Rin's "Regret Message" and has an obvious relation with it. On his blog, he said "Re_birthday" is the answer to "Regret Message" and he purposefully made the both titles start in "re" because of that. Also he mentioned there are some hints in the video of "Re_birthday". If you playback the original video of "Re_birthday" frame-by-frame at 3:31, you can find frames that show the hints. One of them has the inverted word "リグレットメッセージ" and another one has "もしも生まれ変われるならば", which are the words from "Regret Messeage", at the upper left.
 * "Re_birthday" is officially the third song of &quot;Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta (Clockwork Lullaby)&quot; series, and it is not in "Daughter of Evil" series. However, it has been often related to "Daughter of Evil" series by many fans, because of the relation between "Regret Message".
