Background
"Butterfly on Your Right Shoulder" is an original song by Nori-P and is his best 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 and are featured in the album Butterfly.

| 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.
