Background[]

Piano × Forte × Scandal is a jazz, Shibuya-kei song composed and written by OSTER project and her first work using MEIKO. Unlike other works by OSTER project, she'd made the instrumental, named "pianoxforte", first before writing the lyrics. It was when she bought MEIKO that she decided to add vocals. OSTER project would later revisit the song to replace the vocals with MEIKO's unreleased VOCALOID2 database, then known as MEIKO Append, for her album OSTER-san no Best. Compared to the original, the results are smoother, less robotic, and more realistic. OSTER project would also create a KAITO V3 version of the song in celebration of the voicebank's release. Both the original MEIKO and KAITO V3 versions have entered the Hall of Fame. Various utaites have covered the song.

In the Project DIVA games, a vocal switch for Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, and KAITO are featured. KAITO's version features different choreography than the one featured in MEIKO, Miku, and Rin's versions. While he has no vocal switch, the alternate choreography is also used with Len.

Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
ありふれた私という協奏曲(コンチェルト)を	arifureta watashi to iu concheruto o
なぞらえる日々	nazoraeru hibi
それとなく指揮棒(タクト)に合わせれば	sore to naku takuto ni awasereba
保証される調和(ハーモニー)	hoshou sareru haamonii

ダウンビート	daunbiito
割とストイックで古典的(クラシカル)な優等生	warito sutoikku de kurashikaru na yuutousei
でもアップビートはアドリブでいかなきゃ退屈でしょう	demo appubiito wa adoribu de ikanakya taikutsu deshou

楽譜(スコア)通りの日常に	sukoa doori no nichijou ni
枯れゆくこの命ならば	kareyuku kono inochi naraba
いっそ背徳の渦に溺れてしまいたい	isso haitoku no uzu ni oborete shimaitai

その指に光る愛の証さえ	sono yubi ni hikaru ai no akashi sae
消え入りそうな程優しく	kieirisou na hodo yasashiku
囁いた言葉は	sasayaita kotoba wa
禁断の小夜曲(セレナーデ)	kindan no serenaade

27時　瞳を閉じれば	nijuunana-ji hitomi o tojireba
想うのはあなたの事ばかり	omou no wa anata no koto bakari
そんなの良くないよだなんて	sonna no yokunai yo da nante
友達は言うけれど	tomodachi wa iu keredo

そんな言葉じゃ私の渇きが潤うことなどはない	sonna kotoba ja watashi no kawaki ga uruou koto nado wa nai
可愛げ無い台詞で演奏(プレイ)が乱れだす	kawaige nai serifu de purei ga midare dasu

散らばった秩序(スコア)の上	chirabatta sukoa no ue
ひび割れた愛が砕け散るその前に	hibiwareta ai ga kudakechiru sono mae ni
キスで繋ぎ止めて	kisu de tsunagitomete
回り始めた狂詩曲(ラプソディ)	mawarihajimeta rapusodii

加速する愛のリズム　突き詰めて	kasoku suru ai no rizumu tsukitsumete
確かめ合うように	tashikame au you ni
今夜はフォルテシモでもいい	kon'ya wa foruteshimo demo ii
強く強く抱き締めて	tsuyoku tsuyoku dakishimete

重なり合うこの声は	kasanariau kono koe wa
闇に溶けて消えていくから	yami ni tokete kiete iku kara
きっと大丈夫よ	kitto daijoubu yo

何も悪いことじゃない	nanimo warui koto janai

Day after day, I follow along with
The commonplace concerto that is me
Just follow the conductor's baton
And harmony is guaranteed

Downbeat
Your classic honors student, rather devoted
But you've gotta ad lib to the upbeat, or things'll get bland

If I'm doomed to fade away
Living life according to some musical score
I'd rather drown in a whirlpool if immorality

Words whispered so gently that the proof of love
Shining from your fingers
Might fade away
Are a forbidden serenade

If I close my eyes at three in the morning
And think only of you
My friends might say
That's not a good thing!

But those words do nothing to quench my thirst
And with that charmless phrase, my playing goes awry

Atop this scattered score
Before this love, already cracked, breaks to pieces
Bind it together with a kiss
The rhapsody begins to spin

Ride this accelerating rhythm of love
To test our feelings for each other
We can reach fortissimo tonight
Hold me tight, tight

Our voices overlapping
Will melt into the darkness
So don't worry

We're not doing anything wrong
