Nazotoki (ナゾトキ) / Nazokake (ナゾカケ) better known as The Riddle Solver who Can't Solve Riddles and The Riddle Solver who Won't Solve Riddles is a series of songs made by Hinata Haruhana, and illustrated by Abe.

Nazotoki and Nazokake are Hinata Haruhana's biggest hits. On February 19th she uploaded the song Nazotoki, with her as the vocal. A month after, Hinata Haruhana uploaded the 'Vocaloid' version sung by Kagamine Len.

'''Hinata Haruhana have stated that all her songs are connected to each other in one way. The only confirmed songs to be related are Nazotoki and Nazokake.'''

Background
Nazotoki and Nazokake are originally stories written by Hinata Haruhana "Umi ha sono nazotoki wo nozomu noka?" (海はその謎解を望むのか？). The ones sung by Rin and Len are the 'Vocaloid' version of the story.

The characters in the original story are Haruka, a one-armed assistant of Detective Mikami, he used to be a child prodigy in piano. Akira, is a girl who was was helped by Haruka in the past when there was a fire. Haruka lost his arm by saving her.

In the 'Vocaloid' version, Len plays Haruka's role while Rin plays Akira's role.

Original Story
It tells about a boy (Haruka/Len) who liked a girl (Akira/Rin) and he'd been liking her for years. One day the girl's home was caught on fire, and the boy saved her losing his arm.

He kept on liking her for years, even though he saw her with someone else (Let me Play the Piano?) and in truth the girl likes him too (Snow is Falling?) Haruka is a detective's assistant, and he went to a fancy party on a boat by an unknown benefactor, who wanted them to solve what would happen there. What happened next was there was a string of murders, such as a man dying from poisoned wine, and people falling into the ocean.

For some reason he kept on saying he did all that, but the girl believed he didn't do it. It's still unsure why he is lying.

The song starts with Len who said he'll never tell Rin he loves her, he doesn't want her to know, yet he wants him to play the piano for her. As the song goes, it tells that Len saw Rin with a man, and she gave her a warm smile (in the original PV that was taken down by Hinata Haruhana, the man is Kaito). He felt jealous, though he didn't want to be selfish. He choose for Rin to be happy with that person, leaving him alone.
