Story of Evil

The Story of Evil (悪ノ物語 Aku no Monogatari), or more commonly known as the Daughter of Evil series (悪ノ娘 Aku no Musume) is a series of songs made by mothy, also known as Akuno-P. It is a collection of 6 songs and one potentially with loose connections to the story. It has also been noted that the first song in the series focuses on "pride" of the Seven Deadly Sins. Other, less dark themes in the series include Love (Servant of Evil and Regret Message), Pity (Twiright Prank and Daughter of White), Forgiveness (Regret Message, Re Birthday, and Daughter of White), and Friendship (Daughter of White).

History
The first song of the series, "Daughter of Evil", did not gain much attention when it was uploaded to Nico Nico Douga on April 6, 2008. It was until a few weeks later when the second song of the series, "Servant of Evil (悪ノ召使 Aku no Meshitsukai)", was uploaded and it did gain popularity among the Nico Nico Douga users.

The following month a song sung by Rin, "Regret Message (リグレットメッセージ Riguretto Messeeji)" was released, followed by a song sung by Len, "Re_birthday (Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta3)". The release of the song Daughter of White (白ノ娘 Shiro no Musume) on Jan 6, 2010, made it a widely-accepted theory and many fans interpret that the song connects both songs to the series. It has been debated if "Regret Message" and "Re_brithday" are parts of the series or not since there are many tantalizing hints which seem to imply the relations and Akuno-P has just mentioned that it is up to each fan's interpretation and has not officially taken them in the series. However, according to a promo given out on the official page of the novel "Daughter of Evil, Cloiture of Yellow" (悪ノ娘 黄のクロアテュール Aku no Musume Ki no Kuroatyuuru), which is written by mothy and was released on August 10, 2010, "Regret Message" is in the series.

A Theater Play event, based on the songs and the backstory written by mothy on his blog, was shown in Japan during the month of January. An extra song, "Twiright Prank" (トワイライトプランク Towairaito Puranku), composed by mothy and sung by Shimoda Asami, was used in the play. Shimoda Asami, the voice actress which the voices of Kagamine Rin and Len was borrowed from, did a cover of the first three songs in the series. Later "Twiright Prank" was covered by Rin and Len.

"Daughter of Evil", "Servant of Evil", and "Regret Message" are in mothy's album "EVILS THEATER". "Daughter of White" is in mothy's albums "prelude to forest" and "EVILS FOREST". "Twiright Prank" is in "EVILS FOREST". The entire series is included in "Aku no Oukoku ~Evils Kingdom~".

"Daughter of Evil", the first song of the series, was released on April 6, 2008. It uses the voice of Kagamine Rin and details the basic story of the princess ruling in a corrupt manner, using her servant to order the fall of the green kingdom after the man she loves is found to be in love with a woman from there, and subsequently "being executed". The keywords of this song are「オーホッホッホッホ. さあ、ひざまずきなさい！」(“Oh ho ho ho! Now, bow before me!”). The official English title of the song is "The princess of lucifer".

悪ノ召使 / Aku no Meshitsukai (Servant of Evil)
Sung by Len Kagamine

 * Youtube broadcast with subtitles

"Servant of Evil", the second song of the series, released on April 29, 2008. It mainly uses the voice of Kagamine Len, though a small portion near the end of the song includes Rin's voice. It details the story of how the twins were separated when they were very small and how the only thing of Rin Len could ever see was her soft, kind side, and of how he killed Miku (after falling in love with her) and eventually traded places with Rin to be executed. The keywords of this song are「僕が君を守るから　君はそこで笑っていて」(“I will protect you, so just be somewhere, smiling”). The official English title of the song is "His significance of existence".

リグレットメッセージ (Regret Message)
Sung by Rin Kagamine "Regret Message", the third of the series to be released (uploaded May 25, 2008), tells of Rin's feelings directly after "Servant of Evil", related to the plot story which Akuno-P posted on his blog. Rin realizes that it had been her own selfishness that had killed her brother, and the wish she made was apparently also the Servant's wish before he died. The official English title of the song is "Fallen angel". 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").

Though "Regret Message" has not been officially taken in the any of the series for a long time as the author has not confirmed it, a lot of fans have initially believed it is in the "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.


 * Main article and detailed information: Regret Message

Re_birthday
Sung by Len Kagamine

"Re_birthday" was released on Dec 27, 2008, is officially the third song of "Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta (Clockwork Lullaby)" series and titled as Re_birthday ～ぜんまい仕掛けの子守唄3～ (Re_birthday ～Clockwork Lullaby3～), it is originally not in "Daughter of Evil" series. However, there is no doubt that the song is written for Rin's "Regret Message" and has an obvious relation with it, as it is announced by mothy. The inclusion of the song in the album 悪ノ王国 ～Evils Kingdom～ shown the connection between the song and the series, in the album it is simply titled as Re_birthday.

 * Youtube broadcast with subtitles, fan made video

In this song, Len is alone in a dark room not being able to see, then he hears a voice saying that he will be staying there for eternity (the scene turned green in the original video) then he starts to remember the evil that he has done. He found that his arms are in red handcuffs (representing blood shed) and his ankles are in blue chains (representing the shed tears). Suddenly Len hears a melody of someone's voice coming from somewhere (the melody of Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta sung by Rin), and is slowly healing his soul. Then the red handcuffs and the blue chains dissappear, saying he will soon reborn and this is his new birthday.


 * Akuno-P on his blog stated that this song was made for "Regret Message" in "Daughter of Evil" series and is the answer to it. He purposefully made the both titles start in "re" because of that. Its title involves three meanings, the first one is "birthday" to celebrate Len's released date, the second is "reincarnation and revival", and the third is the "response to (Re)gret Message". Also he mentioned there are some hints that show the relation with "Regret Message" in the original video of "Re_birthday". If you playback the original video of "Re_birthday" frame-by-frame at 3:31, you can find frames that give the hints. One of them the inverted word "リグレットメッセージ" appears, 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.


 * 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).


 * However, Akuno-P has not yet confirmed anything about "Re_birthday" and the song is still officially in the series of "Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta". If taken in direct canon with the Evil Series, it means that the servant finds a way to become reborn through a song. Although this topic is still open to debate.

白ノ娘 / Shiro no Musume (Daughter of White)
Sung by Haku Yowane and Miku Hatsune
 * Nicovideo broadcast
 * Youtube broadcast with subtitles

"Daughter of White", the fourth song of the series, released on January 6, 2010. The official English title of the song by Akuno-P is "Bystander". Unlike the previous songs sung by Rin and Len, this is sung by Yowane Haku, detailing the events of the series from the viewpoint of a new character, which had never been mentioned before in the previous songs. It is the longest song in the series, and also details some events after the end of "Regret Message" (Haku trying to kill Rin but eventually feeling pity for her). The keywords that Akuno-P gave to this song are「生きていてごめんなさい」(“I’m sorry for existing”).

It should be noted that, although it is pronounced "shiro" in the song, the kanji for "white" could alternatively be read as "Haku".

トワイライトプランク / Twiright Prank
Cover by Rin and Len
 * Nicovideo broadcast
 * Youtube broadcast with subtitles

"Twiright Prank" was originally composed by mothy for the Theater Play event. It was performed by Shimoda Asami. The song shows a small snapshot of the princess and servant's lives as small children, avoiding a mysterious "demon" in the twilight. The demon says he is hungry, and the two, having buried a chest in the sea, are running from him. The two decide to "split" day and night between each other, Rin being "day" and Len being "night". Len eventually realizes the demon will be always hungry no matter what and decides to share his snack with the demon. In return, the demon tells Len a secret about the ocean (likely the legend of the glass bottle). Len promises to later share this secret with Rin.

Though he has already released its cover with Rin and Len on his "EVILS FOREST" album, he uploaded it on Nicovideo on August 3, 2010. The official English title of the song by Akuno-P is "Day and night". He commented, on his blog, that he purposefully changed the spelling of "Twilight" to "Twiright" in the video he uploaded. Also he explained he did that because "right" means "correct" and "normal", "twi" carries the meaning of "twist", the ones who are performing it are "R"in and "L"en, and the prince gave a sweet to a "demon" while the princess did not in the song.

The keywords given to this song are「私は昼　僕は夜　手をつなげばオレンジの空」(“I’ll be the day/I’ll be the night/Together we make a beautiful orange sky”).

樹の乙女～千年のヴィーゲンリート～/ Wooden Girl ~ Thousand Year Wiegenlied~
Sung by Miku Hatsune. A recent release by mothy in the EVILS COURT album which continues the Story of Evil Saga with Miku's story. This song was featured on the trailer of the Novel " Daughter of Evil, Wiegenlied of Green " and the official english title for the song is "Spirit of ELD". The plot follows Michaela, then known as a spirit, who is given a human form by a "carpricious scorceress" (Elluka Clockworker) so she can meet Clarith and understand her. After meeting Clarith, Michaela enjoys her life as a human until she is courted by the King of Marlon at a banquet, after which the disasters in the Daughter of Evil/Servant of Evil stories occur. As the disaster had struck, Michaela and Clarith were separated which makes Michaela realize her feelings for her. Being a human, she could not revert back into her spirit form which leads her to to her demise. The song ends with Michaela lying at the bottom of the well after being stabbed in the chest by a "Golden-hairer assasin", she thinks of Clarith and wishes her to live on with her last thoughts being "If I could be reborn, if I could be reborn...". It's interesting to note that this song starts with the phrase "生きていてごめんなさい" (I'm sorry for living) and ends with "もしも生まれ変われるならば,生まれ変われるならば・・・" (If I could be reborn, if I could be reborn...) which references to both Daughter of White and Servant of Evil respectively.

Re-releases
There has been a number of new releases of the songs. One of them is the ACT2 version of the first two songs, which supposedly features an improved version of the Kagamine Rin and Len VOCALOID2 program (however, mothy believes these mixes to be inferior).

Another version includes the "velvet mixes" of "Daughter of Evil", which were released on December 27, 2009, in celebration of Rin and Len's birthday. The two songs feature artwork from artists put together by mothy, which confirm certain elements in the plot. A "velvet mix" of "Regret Message" was released on mothy's album "prelude to forest".

Plot Overview
This is a basic plot story which Akuno-P(mothy) wrote for the songs in the series before he created "Daughter of Evil" and gave out on his blog. He organized the plot into 8 chapters and depicted chapter 1, 4, 6, and 7 in "Daughter of Evil" and "Servant of Evil". Later, he announced he wrote another plot story with more detailed storyline and settings which are based on this.

Chapter 1 -A Fierce Princess- Once upon a time there was a kingdom. A wise king who built the kingdom in his lifetime was taken with illness and a queen of the sweet voice, who was his wife, ruled the land instead of him. She governed for the betterment of people, rather better than him, and the kingdom enjoyed prosperity. Although her reign continued after his death, she suffered from the same affliction and passed away. The one left behind was her "only daughter", who was brought up in comfort, having great-flamboyant furniture, a beautiful and fine horse, and a servant who looked like her and was willing to do whatever she wanted. She took her mother's place and reigned over the kingdom. However, her dominion was far from good. She imposed heavy taxes on the people and purged the ones who did not abide by her orders. Gradually people came to call the country as "the kingdom of evil and cruelty" and the princess as "daughter of evil".

Chapter 2 -A Mighty Famine Strikes-
Substantially "daughter of evil" was at the position of a queen, however, out of deference to her mother the queen she decided she would rule the kingdom as a princess and would not take over the throne until she came of age. One day, a mighty famine suddenly struck the kingdom and many people lost their lives for hunger except some haves. Some lieges told her how people were impoverished and offered their opinions to provide relief for them, but she just said, "If they don’t have bread, they had better eat cake!" (a reference to the apocryphal line supposedly spoken by Marie Antoinette; "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche")

Chapter 3 -A Feud Between A Swordswoman And The Princess-
Since then, there was no one who offered one’s opinion to the princess except a loyal subject who had served since her mother’s period of rule. He was called "a commander of royal guards who has a name of lion". He was the only man that remonstrated with her and offered counsel to her to help the people. He was also a hero who had saved the kingdom before and still hold on power. Finally he and lieges who supported him unilaterally made a decision to save the people from hunger. The princess got angry because the meals at the royal palace became meager and the things went on behind her back. One night, she had the commander to come to her own room in the palace. On the next morning, there was his dead body at a riverside on the fringe of the kingdom and beside it "the servant who looked like the princess" was standing. He said, "No one can disobey her now". Few hours later, "a girl in red clothes" dissolved in tears by the dead body. She secretly vowed revenge against the princess for her father.

Chapter 4 -Jealousy And A War-
The fierce princess was in love with "a man of blue", who was a prince of a kingdom accross the sea. She sent out her liege to propose marriage, however, he replied "I have the one whom I love in the land of green. So I cannot marry you." The princess got furious with jealousy and thought to kill "the woman of green" whom he loved, but she did not know who she was. One day, she called away a minister and ordered in a quiet voice; "If you cannot find out the woman of green, destroy all the land of green". The war between two counties broke out overnight. Many houses were burnt and many people lost their lives. People suffered and mourned, however, the princess would not know it and kept living in the palace with grace as always; "Oh, it’s time for a snack"

Chapter 5 -What Happened To Blue And Green-
Pathetically, the land of green was destroyed. However, the woman of green was still alive because "the servant who looked like the princess" had hidden her in a well, which had protected her from fires. He was also in love with her. He was thinking that since the princess did not know the woman's face, it would be better to take her to where "the man of blue" was after things were settled down and the princess would not try to destroy the kingdom where the one whom she loved lived. One day the princess handed over a small glass bottle to the servant. When the princess wanted to ask something important to him, she always did that way without saying directly and orally. It had become a habit since the servant had told her a legend. And what was written on a parchment which he took out of the bottle was "Liquidate her". "The man of blue" found the one whom he loved had become dead and cold in the well. He secretly vowed revenge against the princess.

Chapter 6 -A Rebellion-
The people abruptly rose in rebellion against the princess of evil. They were led by "a swordswoman in a red armor" and "a man with a mask and blue hair". The anger of "the woman of red", "the man of blue" and the people covered the entire kingdom and the rebellious troops defeated the royal army which had severalfold men under. Fortunately for the troops that the army was impoverished by the recent war, they surrounded the royal palace, and all the ministers and servants ran away. The one left behind was pretty, lily and cruel "daughter of evil". When she was almost captured, she shouted "You, insolent fellow!". The princess was arrested at last and that was the end of the kingdom.

Chapter 7 -The Last Moment-
The execution of the princess was decided to be conducted on 3 o’clock in the afternoon when bells of the church would ring. "She" was put in a jail and no one knew what "she" was thinking. People gathered to a square where a guillotine was ready. The bells of the church rang and a blade fell. The last words "she" said was neither words of begging for "her" life nor apologizing to people, but "her" favorite phrase; "Oh, it’s time for a snack". The execution was conducted, and everyone thought "the daughter of evil" was dead and everything was over.

Chapter 8 -Epilogue-
Few days after the execution a rumor circulated, which told that the one who had been killed on that day was a scapegoat and the princess was still alive. In a town, at a harbor, the one who stood, hiding oneself from prying eyes, was the servant who looked like the princess; "I’m sorry…Len". This is a story of once upon a time.

Theater Play
Daughter of Evil ~Gemini of Charm~ A Theater Play event, entitled Daughter of Evil ~Gemini of Charm~ (悪ノ娘～凄艶のジェミニ～, Aku no Musume ~Seien no Jiemini~), opened from January 27, 2010 to January 31, 2010 by X-QUEST. Beyond background tracks for the play, it features covers of the velvet mixes of Akuno-P's three songs by Shimoda Asami, the voice actress who had lent her voice for Kagamine Rin and Len, and a new song called "Twiright Prank", composed by mothy and performed by Shimoda Asami. The original soundtrack, which includes instrumental songs used in the play and the four vocal songs, was released on February 3, 2010.
 * Daughter of Evil Velvet Mix by Asami Shimoda
 * Servant of Evil Velvet Mix sung by Asami Shimoda
 * Regret Message Velvet Mix sung by Asami Shimoda
 * Twiright Prank sung by Asami Shimoda

The script was written by Hidekatsu Tokunaga, a host of the play and also an member of X-QUEST, with his own interpretation based on the plot story which Akuno-P offered for the play. Unlike in the songs, in which the characters are not named (fans usually assign the characters names depending on the singer Vocaloid), each character is given an unique name by Akuno-P; for instance, the princess is "Rillianne", the servant is "Allen", Kaito's character is "Kyle", and Miku's character is "Michaela". However, there are many differences between storylines and settings by Akuno-P and those by Hidekatsu Tokunaga. Akuno-P was not involved with the script's writing in any way and the song "Daugther of White" had not been created yet when it was written. Also a lot of Hidekatsu Tokunaga's original parodies and episodes are added to the script.

××× of Evil
Another Theater Play event, entitled ××× of Evil (悪ノ×××, Aku no ×××), was held on April 11, 2010 by Drama Group Brioche. Drama Group Brioche was established by fans to make a theater play of the three songs in the series.

A large amount of the pages are available on the Look Inside feature on Amazon.

A second novel titled Daughter of Evil, Wiegenlied of Green (悪ノ娘 緑のヴィーゲンリート) was released on February 24, 2011. The cover illustration is drawn by Suzunosuke. The novel included an omake with an original story: Daughter of Evil, Novelette of White (悪ノ娘 白のノヴェレッテ), illustrated by CAFFEIN.

Plot Summary
''Note: the storyline is mostly as same as the basic plot story. More detailed settings and hidden stories are written.'' A vast kingdom called Lucifenia, whose popular name was the "Kingdom of Yellow", was ruled by a tyrannical fourteen year-old princess named Rillianne. Under her absolute monarchism, everything was exploited from people and the ones who did not obey her were executed without mercy. Allen, a servant who looked a lot like her, was always beside the princess whom Lucifenia's people called the "Daughter of Evil". The princess and the servant were the same age, since the two of them were actually twins who were separated shortly after their birth, with Rillianne taking her mother's position as the country's ruler and Allen works in the palace as a servant since he was given up for adoption. The princess's selfishness and jealousy caused a war and many deaths, and their secret clockwork of fate was going to spin madly.

Manga Serialization
Japanese Monthly Magazine "Comic Rush" started a serialization of "Servant of Evil" with the illustrations provided by Nekoyama Miyao. The characters use the same names as their Vocaloid counterparts; such as "Rin" instead of "Rillianne". The serialization began on September 25th, 2010 in the November Issue. The manga also has an official website.

There is an official Youtube account created for the purpose of promoting the manga. To date, four videos have been uploaded, with three of them follow the storyline of "Story of Evil" with some added backgrounds. The language of the manga in the videos is Japanese.

Explication
''Note that this is a story weaved together from the hints in the original songs, the basic plot on Akuno-P's blog and the novel written by himself, along with hints interviews regarding the series. No outside sources or fanmade videos were used as sources. However, as it was announced by mothy, interpretation can differ widely in individuals.''

In their childhood, the princess Riliane (Rin) and the prince Allen (Len) of a kingdom called Lucifenia were playing on the beach. As the sun was setting, they tried to rush home because they might be eaten by a hungry "demon". Allen, feeling sorry for the demon since it said that it would be still hungry even if it ate a half of world, offered it his snack. The demon in gratitude told Allen, an old legend, a secret about the ocean. Allen later told it to the princess.

After King Arth, who built the Lucifenia Kingdom with "Three Heroes", died, Queen Anne (Sweet Ann), ruled over the kingdom. However, a power struggle started among leagues when their twin children Riliane and Allen were six years old, and Allen was supposed to be dead in the political combat. In fact the Commander of the Royal Guard (and one of the "Three Heroes"), Leonhart Avadonia (Leon) secretly saved him and took him out of the palace. Leonhart raised Allen as his own alongside his adopted daughter, Germaine (Meiko).

This left Riliane, who had grown up in luxury, to rule the kingdom. When she started to rule the kingdom after her mother's death, she imposed heavy taxes on her people and started ruthless purges. Later, Allen returned to the palace as a servant, but Riliane did not remember that he was her twin brother.

A famine started, and Leonhart and lieges who supported him decided to smuggle food from the palace to the hungry. Riliane, noticing a lack of food, ordered her servant to kill the hero. Leonhart died at the hands of his adopted son. As the hero died, Germaine (clothed in red) intended on revenge.

Visiting the Kingdom of Elphergot, Allen met Michaela (Miku Hatsune) and Clarith (Haku Yowane), two maids for a wife of a wealthy merchant named Keel Freesis (Kiyoteru Hiyama). Clarith, unlike the other citizens of the kingdom, had white hair. She had lived as an outcast because of this, but by "one-thousand-year tree" she had met Michaela, who had befriended her. Michaela was beloved by many, and had a beautiful singing voice; even the King of the Marlon Kingdom (a prince in the basic plot story), Kyle Marlon (Kaito) was in love with her. She had met him through Keel, who was a friend of the king. Allen also fell in love with her. Riliane, however, was in love with Kyle, and sent a formal marriage proposal to Kyle. Kyle, however, responded that he was already in love with another girl. Realizing this, Riliane told her ministers that if they could not find out which girl Kyle was in love, they should destroy the entire the Elphergot Kingdom and kill all of the green-haired women. Keel hid away Michaela in a well and told Allen where she was. Allen kept it secret from the princess, however the princess found it out later. Allen was passed over a message in a glass bottle from her telling him to kill Michaela. After that, Michaela was killed in the well (in the song "Maiden of Tree～Millenarian Wiegenlied～" is described she was stabbed with a knife by a "golden-haired assassin". There is also a scene, someone asking "Who, are you?" to a stranger, just before she found dead in the novel. "Who, are you?" is a line given in the original video of "Servant of Evil -velvet mix-" as a dialogue of "Maiden of Tree").

Soon after, the rebellion troops and the people of both the Lucifenia Kingdom and the Elphegort Kingdom led by Germaine and a mysterious man with blue hair in a mask named Kachees, who was actually King Kyle in disguise, came to rebel. Allen, wanting to protect his sister, offered to switch places with her, allowing her to escape and for him to die in her place. His plan worked, and Riliane was able to escape safely. Before Allen let her escape, he revealed himself as her twin brother.

Riliane fell unconscious near a cloister and was found by Clarith, who became a nun there recently. Clarith wanted revenge on the "Daughter of Evil", whom she knew had caused the death of her friend. Of course, she was unaware that the girl she found (who knew under the name of "Rin") was actually the "Daughter of Evil" herself, but one day she overheard Riliane's confession in the confession box which revealed to her that she was the princess who ordered the destruction of the Elphegort kingdom. Later, Riliane, filled with regret over the death of her brother, went to the harbor and set a bottled message into the sea. With this, she hoped that it would allow her wish, "If I could be reborn, I would like to be with [him] again", to come true. Clarith, in a blind rage, snuck up on Riliane and tried to stab her with a knife, but decided not to when she saw how lonely Rillianne was and an illusion of a young boy. Clarith eventually forgave Riliane, and apologized to Michaela for not having been able to avenge her. Also, Clarith became curious about the illusion she saw.

South North Story
{C}{C Sung by Rin (ACT1), Rin (ACT2) and Len Music and lyrics by Akuno-P (mothy) and Unimemo-P
 * Nicovideo broadcast
 * Youtube broadcast (with english subtitles)
 * Akuno-P and Unimemo-P say this is the song about an encounter of two Rins from different worlds.
 * Some fans interpret one is just a normal student the other is the Rin from Daughter of Evil. It is based on a motif picture that looks very similar to a motif picture of the Evil Series' Rin and Len standing back-to-back (a princess Rin and a butler Len) along with a brief shot with a princess looking similar to the Daughter of Evil. However, this is not stated directly at all by Akuno-P, and is purely fan's presumption. The song can be alternatively considered as a "crossover". This song is also given keywords:「ごきげんいかがですか」(How are you doing?).

Desert Bluebird
{C}{C Sung by Kagamine Rin/Len
 * Nicovideo broadcast
 * Youtube Broadcast (with english subtitles)
 * Although this song has no direct relation to any other songs, the twins in this PV find the Bluebird in Lucifenia in the far future after the world has mostly crumbled. At the end of the song they find the ocean. The keywords: 「君と一緒なら　きっと乗り越えられる」 (“As long as we’re together, surely we’ll overcome whatever troubles we face”)

Fanmade Spin-Offs
There has been numerous fanmade spin-offs and parodies to the series, usually using the same song and telling a different viewpoint to the story, using the same song and telling a completely different story, or using a different song an telling of an alternate ending.

Daughter of Green
Sung by Miku Hatsune {C}{C Lyrics arranged by Ringo {C}{C Voice edition by Nyonta Daughter of Green (緑ノ娘 Midori no Musume) is a fanmade story supposedly told by Miku. It states that Miku was secretly a princess who was told to seduce Kaito by her father and was instead in love with Len, but when Len arrived to kill her, she committed suicide instead and wished that Len could have been the one to do it. She reflects on the fact that her only purpose was to be a sacrifice to end the tyranny of the yellow kingdom, and that Len was the only one to bring her happiness. This plot has now been considered almost entirely moot; in the original story, Miku was hidden away in the kingdom's burn (proven by the novel and mothy's blog), killed by a stranger or someone she did not know, likely Len (proven by the novel and the small hint from Servant of Evil~velvet mix~), and was not a princess (proven by the novel, mothy's blog, and "Daughter of White").

Daughter of Vengeance
Sung by Meiko {C}{C Lyrics arranged by Misakiya {C}{C Voice edition by Piihyara-P Daughter of Vengeance (復讐の娘 Fukushuu no Musume) is a fanmade story supposedly told by Meiko. Meiko, a village girl vowed revenge against Rin because Rin murdered her lover as well as deprived the rest of her family of food, and was hired by Kaito to begin the rebellion. Although she later found out that Rin and Len had switched, she did nothing about it. This plot has also been considered moot; in the original story, Meiko wanted vengeance because Rin killed her father Leon, a guard (proven by mothy's blog and the novel).

Prince of Blue
Sung by Kaito {C}{C Lyrics arranged and voice edition by Mitsu Prince of Blue (青の王子 Aoi no Ouji) is a fanmade story supposedly told by Kaito. Kaito went incognito as a layman and fell in love with Miku. When Miku falls into Len's trap, Kaito falls into despair and hires Meiko to kill the Daughter of Evil. The plot is partially false; the details of Len's "trap" are false according to mothy's blog and the novel, Miku was not a princess and did not live in a palace (according to Daughter of White and mothy's blog, she was a peasant girl who later became a maid to a rich merchant), and Kaito is implied to not have been affiliated with Meiko.

King of Purple
Sung by Kamui Gakupo King of Purple is the story about an Empour who, with his powerful army and skilled Military statagy and leadership, conquers all the lands of the world and becomes the ruler of it all. This unlike the Story of Evil, has no consequence for his actions. This story is moot cause no such thing happens in Mothy's storyline (unless the U.S.E has been established by a characters played by Gakupo).

Trivia

 * Since the release of "Story of Evil", Akuno-P has the habit to leave reference of it in various of his songs. Some of them are:
 * On "Repulsive Food Eater Conchita", When a menu is shown, it includes "The servant 's special brioche " and at the end of the song appears some joke credits, among those ones appears, "Location: Foundation Yellow Country "
 * On "The Madness of Duke Venomania" appears some disappeared people posters with parody names of the female Vocaloids. Among them, it appears the names of Rindo Blume and Josephine Francois. Rindo's ocupation was nun making reference to Rillianne's outcome shown in Regret Message and Daughter of White, meanwhile Josephine was the name of the Rillianne's white mare in The Daughter of Evil. Oddly, in the Gakupo's song, the age and occupation of Josephine are suspiciously censored.
 * On "Okizari Tsukiyosyou", the lost kids finds a "little glass bottle" that they fill with the Moon's light and use it like a lantern to find their path back to home. That bottle seems to be a small reference to "Regret Message".
 * On Moonlit Bear, there is a "little glass bottle" lying next to Meiko at the end of the PV. This is a nod to both Regret Message and Okizari Tsukiyosyou.
 * "Gast Venom" from the novel is a reference to The Madness of Duke Venomania
 * Elluka and Guumilia are having a conversation at the end of Present from the Princess who brings sleep and said that they are heading to Lucifenia.
 * The Desert Bluebird in Desert BLUEBIRD is found in a sector of Lucifenia.
 * Similarly, Gobanme no Pierrot takes place in Lucifenia, too.
 * The ocean in Desert Bluebird is a small reference to Regret Message.
 * In "Daughter of White", Miku and Haku worked for a wealthy merchant lady. In the novel, Clarise and Michaela worked for Keel Freesis, though given that Keel has Yukina as a daughter he was likely married.
 * Marlon is the last name of the judge in "Judgment of Corruption" which was sung by KAITO. It's unknown if Kyle and Gallerian are related in bloodline. Similarly, in T he Madness of Duke Venomania one of disappeared woman was named Yufina Marlon whose occupation was the Queen of Marlon.
