Background

"Koi wa Sensou" is a rock-genre song about how Miku will fight to attain her crush, who is in love with someone else. Miku declares that "love is war" and that in the end, she will make her love see only her.

"Koi wa Sensou" is one of Miku's older hits and has covers featuring almost every official VOCALOID. Due to the song's popularity, it has been translated many times into various languages by different translators. Additionally, it was the eighth song to enter the Hall of Legend, on November 4, 2008.

Koi wa Sennou

"Koi wa Sennou" (恋は洗脳 Love is Brainwash) was a project headed by Wakusei-P, where producers created works based on "Koi wa Sensou" from September 16 to October 31, 2009. This resulted in the creation of numerous remixes and illustrations. Results were included in an album included with a illustration book sold by Shirow Miwa at Comiket.

Lyrics

Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
もう行き場がないわ　この恋の熱量	mou ikiba ga nai wa kono koi no netsuryou
灰色の雲　モノクロの喧騒	haiiro no kumo monokuro no kensou
日差しはかげり	hizashi wa kageri
夕暮れは色を変えていく	yuugure wa iro o kaete iku
嗚呼　世界がにじんで	aa, sekai ga nijinde
それでも好きでいられるかなんて	soredemo suki de irareru ka nante
わかってる　けどどうすればいいの	wakatteru kedo dousureba ii no
どうしたら、どうすれば	doushitara, dousureba?
バカだな…　わたし	baka da na watashi...
始めるのよ　これは戦争	hajimeru no yo kore wa sensou
嬉しそうなキミをみるなんて！	ureshi-sou na kimi o miru nante!
切なる恋　それは罪	setsunaru koi sore wa tsumi
見せてあげる　私の想いを	misete ageru watashi no omoi o
叫んでみた　メガホンは壊れたの	sakende mita Megahon wa kowareteta no
どれだけ背伸びしたって	dore dake senobi shitatte
君の視界に入らない	kimi no shikai ni hairanai
嗚呼　いつの間にか晴れた空	aa, itsunomanika hareta sora
全然似合わない	zenzen niawanai
気持ちが抑えられなくて	kimochi ga osaerarenakute
どうしたら、どうすれば？	doushitara, dousureba?
泣いてなんか　ないんだからね	naite nanka nai n'dakara ne
大好き…	daisuki...
たたかうのよ　ハートを撃て	tatakau no yo haato o ute
手段なんて　選んでられない	shudan nante eranderarenai
スカート　ひらり　見せ付けるのよ	sukaato hirari misetsukeru no yo
君の視線奪ってみせるの	kimi no shisen ubatte miseru no
迎撃用意	geigekiyoui
戦況は未だ不利なのです	senkyou wa ima da furi na no desu
恋は盲目	koi wa moumoku
君の口づけて目が覚めるの！	kimi no kuchidzuke de me ga sameru no!
