Main Series

 * The second song is "Hakoniwa no Shoujo (Girl of a Miniature Garden)" sung by Miku Hatsune. Although the second song has a subtitle "Clockwork Lullaby2 (Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta2)", Akuno-P commented that the world the song is set in is different from that of the first song sung by Rin.


 * The third song is "Re-birthday" which is sung by Len Kagmine and subtitled "Clockwork Lullaby3 (Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta3)". According to the Akuno-P’s blog, the third song was made for Rin’s "Regert Message".

 * Akuno-P always gives key words to each song which he creates. The songs of the series have them as well.


 * The matter that if there is a connection between "Daughter of Evil" series and "Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta" series or not is still hotly-debated among fans. Akuno-P mentioned the interpretation can differ to person to person.

 * "Re_birthday" is the third song in the "Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta " series. Akuno-P on his blog stated that this song was made for "Regret Message".


 * 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 tears spilt). 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).
 * A lot of fans initially believed it was part of the Story of Evil. Since fans often regard "Regert Message" as one of the "Daughter of Evil" series, "Re-birthday" is also taken as a part of the series. However, Akuno-P has not yet confirmed anything and the song is officially in a series of "Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta" . After the release of Daugther of White the song hinted the connection of "Regret Message" with the series, which also seems to tie "Re_birthday" in. Although this topic is still open to debate, many fans think "Re_birthday" is about Len's experience after his death in "Daughter of evil" series, being tortured by a "ghastly voice", and being trapped in a room while remembering his memories over and over again.

Sung by KAITO
 * Nicovideo broadcast
 * Youtube broadcast with subtitles


 * "Heartbeat Clocktower" is the fourth song in the "Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta" series. It tells the story of Kaito as the guardian of a clocktower, the replacement of a man who was the embodiment of greed. The clocktower is near a theater a lonely man once constructed, which is filled with miniature players who come to life.


 * Key words which Akuno-P gave to this song is「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 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 shortly after.


 * Some fans of "Daughter of Evil" interpret that Rin is mentioned in the song; she is described as "selfish as always", but hiding grief from having lost her "other half". However, this is not comfirmed by the author.

リグレットメッセージ (Regret Message)
Sung by Rin Kagamine
 * Nicovideo broadcast
 * Youtube broadcast


 * "Regret Message" is released on May 25, 2008. 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.
 * Key words given to this song are 「君が教えてくれた、ひそかな言い伝え」("A secret legend which 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.
 * The song is often regarded as the third song in the "Daughter of Evil" series which tells of the Daughter of Evil's feelings directly after "Servant of Evil". Also 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 is an obvious part of the Evil series given its PV and lyrics, and the song directly quotes lines from both "Servant of Evil" and "Regret Message", somewhat seems to confirm that the two are related.


 * "Regret Message" was also included in the Theater Play Evil Series album, indicating it is likely more related to the Evil Series than the Zenmai-Jikake no Komoriuta series.


 * However, Akuno-P just offered the new song and the plot story for the play, and he announced on his blog that the script for the play has original storylines and settings with actors' own interpretation.
 * Akuno-P answers about the matter only this way;"I think that it is good by the interpretation of each person."
 * Therefore, we cannot know the Akuno-P's real intention about whether this song is one of the series or not.
