 * "Re_birthday" is the third song in the "Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta " series. It was released on Dec 27, 2008.


 * In this song, Len is alone in a dark room not being able to see, then he hears a voice and starts to remember the evil that he has done. Then his arms are in red handcuffs (representing blood shed) and his ankles are in blue chains (representing the sheded tears). Suddenly Len hears a melody of someone's voice coming from somewhere (the melody of Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta sung by Rin). He is forgiven his actions in the past, given a new birthday and reborn.
 * Key words which Akuno-P gave to this song is 「黒い部屋　巨大なぜんまい　僕はひとり」/深い闇の中の出来事. あるいは誰かのみた夢. /真実はどこかの光の中　("A black room, a huge clockwork, I am alone"/ An event in the deep darkness. Or a dream which someone saw/ The truth is in the light at somewhere).
 * Though "Regret Message" hadn't been officially taken in the any of the series for a long time as the author has not confirmed it, a lot of fans had initially believed it is in in the "Daughter of Evil" series, interpreting as the Len's experience after his death in "Daughter of evil" series. They also often regarded "Re_birthday" as a part of the Story of Evil. Also in the original video of the song has some clues that seem to imply the relation. Later, the song "Daugther of White" and a promo of the novel "Daughter of Evil, Cloiture of Yellow", along the release of the album 悪ノ王国 ～Evils Kingdom～ showed the connection of "Regret Message" with the series.

 * "Heartbeat Clocktower" is the fourth song in the "Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta" series. The song was originally on Akuno-P's Piapro page and was exclusively for his fans following him on Piapro. It was later included in his album "prelude to forest". Eventually, mothy made a "final" version of the song, with an added tag "(F.V.)" (Forest Version). It was initially released with his album "EVILS FOREST" but was released as a PV shortly after.
 * It tells the story of Kaito as the guardian of a clocktower, the successor of a lonely man who was the embodiment of greed. The previous dead owner, the "Collector", created a nearby "Theater" and dolls, "Collectibles", with life to inhabit it. The current guardian, realizing that the clock was going to stop soon, sacrificed himself to keep it running by taking out his own heart and using it to power the clocktower.
 * The song looks that it's directly related to the 2nd song of the "Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta" series and with the song Judgement of Corruption.
 * Key words which Akuno-P gave to this song are「孤独な男がその死の間際に作り上げた、森の奥の小さな映画館」("A small theatre in a depth of the forest which was made by a lonely man on the brink of his death").
 * The "Lu Li La" lullaby is sung by both Kagamine while the PV depicts several images that reference previous and upcoming songs by Akuno-P, while it assigns a Deadly Sin to each one.

追想のオルゴール (Recollection Orgol)
This song has the distinctive Lu Li La pattern partway through the song. Nothing else seems to link it to the series.
