Background

"Butterfly on Your Right Shoulder" is an original song by Nori-P and is his most popular work. It talks about a relationship that is in some way torturous, to the extent that it is as regretful as it is pleasant for the singer. The lyrics are clear, but are left vague enough to be interpreted in numerous ways. One interpretation is that the song is about someone who went out, hooked up, and was left feeling empty afterwards. Another interpretation is that the song is about Rin's love for Len and vice versa.

Originally sung by Rin, Len's version was released a month later and was also well received upon its release, becoming arguably more popular than Rin's version.

Though the song may have the same lyrics in both versions, the way the song starts, goes and ends are different. Rin's version has her singing clearly at the beginning, and ends with her chanting. In Len's version, Rin sings in the background, Len then screams and the song starts; he adds an additional line; and he sings at a different pace throughout the course of the song, ending without Rin's chanting.

Both versions have entered the Hall of Legend.

Description	A year after Butterfly on Your Right Shoulder was uploaded, Nori-P made another version of Butterfly on Your Right shoulder, titled 右肩の蝶 (Migikata No Chou) 3.0.1 Version, with Len as the singer. It was said to be a 'joke' or a parody of typical pop love songs. Although the instrumental was good, many people on Nicovideo laughed at how Len sang the song.

Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
右肩に紫蝶々　キスをしたこの部屋の隅で	migikata ni murasaki chouchou kisu o shita kono heya no sumi de
切ないと云う感情を知る　響くピアノ　不協和音	setsunai to iu kanjou o shiru hibiku piano fukyou waon
右肩に紫蝶々　キスをしたこの部屋の隅で	migikata ni murasaki chouchou kisu o shita kono heya no sumi de
切ないと云う感情を知る　響くピアノ　不協和音	setsunai to iu kanjou o shiru hibiku piano fukyou waon
悪い夢にうなされた私を早く起こして	warui yume ni unasareta watashi o hayaku okoshite
どんなことでも始まりは些細なことでしょう？	donna koto de mo hajimari wa sasai na koto deshou ?
どこがいいかなんて　聞かれても困る綺麗な	doko ga ii ka nante kikarete mo komaru kirei na
夜に惑わされたまま行方不明だから	yoru ni madowasareta mama yukue fumei dakara
長いまつげ　三日月アイライン　まぶたに乗せて光るリップ	nagai matsuge mikazuki airain mabuta ni nosete hikaru rippu
右肩に紫蝶々　キスをしたこの部屋の隅で	migikata ni murasaki chouchou kisu o shita kono heya no sumi de

雨の中で濡れた　髪が異常に冷たくて	ame no naka de nureta kami ga ijou ni tsumetakute
寂しさをトイレに吐き出して震えて待ってる	sabishisa o toire ni haki dashite furuete matteru
追いかけては逃げるからそれ以上で返して	oikakete wa nigeru kara sore ijou de kaeshite
真剣だから笑うと痛い目に遭うよいい？	shinken dakara warau to itai meni au yo ii ?
赤い爪と　安物の指輪　傷付く度増えるピアス	akai tsume to yasumono no yubiwa kizutsuku do fueru piasu
抱き寄せて　歪んだ体　埋めるのはあなたしかいない	daki yosete yuganda karada umeru no wa anata shika inai
そうでしょう？　わかってるくせに　境界線とっくに越えてる	sou deshou ? wakatteru kuse ni kyoukaisen tokkuni koeteru
後悔は死ぬほどしてる　その分だけ快感を呼び覚ます	koukai wa shinu hodo shiteru sono fun dake kaikan o yobisamasu
狂いだした　私を止めて　一瞬でラクにしてよ	kurui dashita watashi o tomete isshun de raku ni shite yo
抱き寄せて　歪んだ体　埋めるのはあなたしかいない	daki yosete yuganda karada umeru no wa anata shika inai
