:Gemini is a song sung by both Rin and Len. The tone and wording of the song is rather vague, but many have taken it as a song about them as twins since Len likens himself and Rin to [[wikipedia:Gemini|Gemini]] in the sky. Throughout the song, Rin sings about how she goes through many troubles throughout her life, with Len coming to her aid and letting her feel as though she is not alone. The song also has references to astronomy and astrology, one time even saying that they were destined to meet 'beyond the night sky'. Note that Gemini is referring to the meaning "twins" and not the zodiac.

Notable Kagamine Original Songs

Individual Rin songs

ココロ / KOKORO (Heart)

Sung by Rin
Music and lyrics by Toraboruta-P
(Original video by Toraboruta-P)

Main article and detailed information: Kokoro
In Kokoro, Rin is a robot made by a lonely scientist. But she is missing something that can't be found in a program: kokoro. After quite some time, her creator passes away, leaving her alone for several hundred years. Eventually, she begins to wonder about the man who created her, and accesses his research. Discovering more and more about the scientist and how hard he worked to create a kokoro for her, the robot is moved and is awakened to a world of new feelings. Overcome with emotion, the robot sings her feelings of sadness and gratitude to the person who created her. However, the kokoro which she found herself was too great for her fake body, and after some time the robot passes away.
KOKORO is a popular song on Nicovideo and Youtube, and many derivations including covers and Fanmade PVs, have been made for it. One of the most popular and famous of these derivations is ココロ・キセキ / KOKORO/KISEKI (Heart or Soul/Miracle) by Jun-P/Zyun-P. Though there is no clue who the scientist is in KOKORO, Jun-P let Len sing the story of the scientist who created the robot in KOKORO, arranging the original music and lyrics with her own interpretation, also using some parts of the original song and mixing them together. In KOKORO/KISEKI, Len is not directly portrayed as the scientest, but after Jun-P uploaded it, many Fanmade PVs depicting Len as the scientist were made.
In one of the other popular and famous covers, a spoken dialogue between the scientist and the robot is added at the intro, and it ends with the spoken line: Arigatou, otou-san (Thank you, Father), adding new insight into the story.

炉心融解 / Roshin Yuukai -Meltdown- (Nuclear Fusion -Meltdown-)

Sung by Rin
Lyrics by kuma
Music written and composed by iroha(sasaki)
PV by Nagimiso.SYS
Title design by Shirow Miwa
Child Rin's clothing design by URAHANABI

A collaboration between multiple artists, this video was #1 on the 68th Weekly Vocaloid Rankings. Iroha says the lyrics and video represent conflicts of inner psychological world. In the video, Rin jumps into a reactor core/nuclear reactor and chokes someone, possibly to death. The little Rin stands for innocent childish mind inside her. [1]
The PV can be literally interpreted as Rin jumping into a nuclear reactor to commit a martyred suicide or figuratively as Rin trying to get rid of her past or to purge herself of her sins, and leave it behind in order to grow up and become an adult. There are various interpretations of this song.
There was a controversy over the video - it stayed up in the Weekly Vocaloid Rankings because people constantly made dummy accounts and put Meltdown on their MyLists (which is how the Vocaloid Rankings score songs). Though iroha(sasaki) asked the viewers to stop the illegitimate scoring, it did not end and in retaliation iroha(sasaki) deleted the video and put it up on Nagimiso.SYS's. This disqualified the video from being in the Rankings as the requirements are that the original composer put it up. (It also raised awareness of the cheating behind the Rankings, thus taking many long-lasting regulars such as Hatsune Miku no Shoushitsu, Miku Mikku ni Shite Ageru, and World is Mine off the list altogether.) The new PV put up on Nagimiso.SYS's account features several touched-up areas including a different-looking reactor, new countdown text, and added detail in certain scenes.

のろいのめがね ~ stray girl in her lenses / Noroi no Megane ~ stray girl in her lenses (The Cursed Glasses ~ stray girl in her lenses)

Sung by Rin
Music and lyrics by Bucchigiri-P
Art by: Yoko Nei
Pixel art by: Joymecha-P
Logo: Sacrow

All of the sudden, a girl (Rin) finds herself in a strange world of RPG, wearing "the Cursed Glasses". An odd-looking stranger (Gakupo) appears, and tells her they are the glasses of the legendary hero. She cannot slip them off and even worse, they distort everything around her. She sets out on a quest to find an ancient document which would tell her how to take them off. She struggles to comprehend what is going on through her new vision but eventually the strain of wearing the glasses becomes too much to bear and she releases a fit of anger. This song is based heavily upon the RPG's of the 8-bit NES era. Additional monologue and back chorus voiced by Kamui Gakupo who performs a triple role in the song, a stranger, a priest and a doctor.

Transmit

Sung by Rin
Music and lyrics by Signal-P

Signal-P, the producer of this song is said to have found the best way to tune Rin's voice, by switching the sound banks of Act1 and Act2 by the letter. The song is about never giving up hope and eventually reaching your goals, and focusing on believing that your dreams will come true.

恐怖ガーデン / Kyoufu Gaaden (Fear Garden)

Sung by Rin
Music and lyrics written by Chaa

Rin sings about her lovely garden of human arms as the stems and hands of others as the flowers. Near the end of the song Rin says it's all a lie; she never took the arms and hands of anyone, though she giggles and says that maybe she did, holding Len's arm in a pot.
It is not clear that whose arms and hands Rin are singing about in the original video and lyrics, but Slept, who drew the illustratinons in one of the Fanmade PVs, depicted other vocaloid members with her own interpretation.

Shut up, Get out

Sung by Rin, spoken words by Len & Gakupo
Music and lyrics by Hi-G

すすすす、すき、だあいすき / Susususu, Suki, Daisuki (L-L-L-Like you, I Love You)

Sung by Rin
Music and lyrics written by Jebanni-P

A song about Rin nervously attempting to tell someone that she loves him/them, first by making small conversation, before deciding to simply say it aloud. Though she is embaressed afterwards, she is happy.

ユメミルコトノハ / Yume miru koto no ha (Dreaming Leaf)

Cover by Rin
Original music and lyrics written by OSTER-project
Originally sung by Miku Hatsune
Music arranged and Rin's voice edited by baker

コトノハ(言の葉) means "word" in old classic Japanese, but the author set the title "leaf" purposely. A song that was normally sung by Miku, this version has been re-arranged and edited for Rin to sing notably making the song a bit shorter and more up-beat compared to the original version.

いろは唄 / Iroha Uta (Iroha Song)

Sung by Rin
Music and lyrics by Ginsaku

In this song, Rin sings to an unknown lover about how she is willing to change herself for them, by using figurative examples, including a dog, a cat, a camilla flower, and a rose. The song uses the iroha, which is an old Japanese poem that is famous for its a perfect pangram, containing each character of the Japanese syllabary exactly once. Because of this, it was also used as an ordering for the syllabary in old days. There is also a popular version of the song sung by both Rin and Len, and versions of MEIKO, KAITO, Miku, Len singing alone, Gakupo (this one with different lyrics, called "male version"), GUMI, Teto and possibly others.

Skeleton Life

Sung by Rin
Music and Lyrics by Lamune-P

This song is about Rin having to crossdress as a boy to learn how to "swim" and "fly". A majority of the lyrics are vague, and could merely be interpreted as Rin trying to learn things she wouldn't normally or with some deeper meaning.

孤独の果て / Kodoku no Hate (In the End of Solitude)

Sung by Rin
Music and Lyrics by Nakanohito
Illustrated by NEGI


Individual Len songs

SPICE!

Sung by Len
Music and lyrics by Ryuusei-P

The song SPICE! potrays Len as a young, womanizing man and also a playboy. He states that he does not understand love and seems to be not-interested-in "settling down" for real life relationship.
Later the song "RIP= RELEASE" was written by Ryuusei-P as a reply to SPICE! and sung by Luka Megurine.
Though the lyrics and the original video are just telling how he is enjoying the affairs and do not mention who the women are, there are various Fanmade PVs with different interpretations and other vocaloids such as Rin, Miku, Meiko, Luka and Kaito are depicted. In some of them Rin is the one that Len "truly" loves.

Fire◎Flower

Sung by Len
Music and lyrics by halyosy

Len sings about his love and dream under the sky that colored with the fireworks. He breaks up with his girlfriend and he regrets it to which he wishes to get back together with her.
In some of the Fanmade PVs of this song, Rin and Len appear as a couple and the different times in their relationship are shown.

イケ恋歌 / Ike Ren Ka (Cool Love Song)

Sung by Len
Music by Lelele-P , lyrics by Darari

Len sings that he pretends he does not know what love is but actually he is already in love and not confident enough to tell.

The title is a play on words. The Kanji 恋 (ren or koi) has the same pronunciation as Len, so it has the duplex meaning "Cool Love/Len Song."

鏡音レンの暴走 / Kagamine Len no Bousou (The Rampage of Len Kagamine)

Sung by Len, background vocals by Rin & Miku Hatsune
Music and lyrics by CosMo(Bousou-P)

This song is about Len complaining about how perverted his master is. (He claims that his master dresses him up in: Maid, Nurse etc. clothes and making him say stuff he didn't mean to.) He also asked Miku if he fits to be called a "shota" anymore, now that he's 14 years old. Later in the song, he got fed up for people not listening to him and went on a roadroller rampage.

ディスコティック★ラヴ / Discotheque★Love

Sung by Len
Music and Lyrics by Lelele-P

This song depicts Len as a shy young man wanting to dance with the "disco queen" which happens to be Rin. He hesitates to ask her as she is surrounded by guys depicted by KAITO and Kamui Gakupo, but he decided to muster up his courage and ask her and she says yes and they eventually start dancing together.

雨を連れゆく / Ame wo Tsure Yuku (Bringing the Rain)

Sung by Len
Music and Lyrics by Hadano-P
Illustrated by Shibashon-P and Urahanabi
Drums by Anpanman

アウト オブ エデン / Out of Eden

Sung by Len
Music by Kouhei/K's Sound Project
Lyrics by orange
Illustration by Akiakane
Original video by Acha/Doara-P

Imitator

Sung by Len Music and Lyrics by U-ta-P

ヤンデ恋歌-Full ver.- / Yande Renka (Psychotic Love Song)

Sung by Len
Music and Lyrics by Lelele-P

This song portrays Len as a yandere. The title seems to be a clever combination of "yandere" an "renka" translating to "Psychotic Love Song" however many also translate it to "Psychotic Len's Love Song". He is seemingly in love however, the girl that he likes seems to be in love with another man. He begins to hate seeing her smiles and happiness that she has when she is around him. This starts to drive Len crazy as he states that he is even afraid of himself and is the beginning of his yandere nature. He convinces himself that simply ending everything will make it better and proceeds to kill the girl that he loves while in his ill state of mind. After this, he realizes what he has done seeing only a bloody world and screams help as he feels insane. It is not clear what happens to him at the end through the lyrics however fan PVs have interpreted that he commits suicide.

Duet Rin / Len songs

下剋上 / Gekokujou (Overthrowing)

Sung by Rin and Len
Music and lyrics by Ichigyou-P
(Original video by Ichigyou-P)

Gekokujou/Gekokujō is a Japanese term variously translated as the lower rules the higher or the low overcomes the high.
In this song, the Kagamine's sing about supplanting Miku as #1.
A fun, upbeat rap song, this is a must for all the hardcore Kagamine fans. The main idea involved is the Kagamines attempt to prove that they can surpass Miku. Len talks about the 'false' rumors that he is shota.Towards the end of the first verse he starts to compliment on how his voice was his greatest attribute and talent, and says he needs songs to cross swords with Miku as equals. Rin, during the second verse, bluntly states that she is sweeter, kinder than her "sister" Miku.
The course of the song is packed with the confidence of the Kagamine duo, many compliments of their skills and traits, and a considerable amount of thanks to the audiences.

俺のロードローラーだッ！ / Ore no Road Roller da! (It's My Road Roller!)

Sung by Rin and Len
Music and lyrics by Meiyokaichou-P (Oyatsu-P)

Rin and Len talk about their journey from creation at the company that made them (Crypton), to be bought by the consumer.After they are bought and installed,they behave at first, but they become getting out of hand as they get used to the new circumstances.
Another very short variation of this song is mixed with Daughter of Evil. In the Fanmade PV, Rin rushes in through the middle of the execution, rolls over the guillotine and rescues Len from the fate of a rolling head. A humorous take on the story, yet nonetheless leave many fans wishing that this was the actual ending, instead of Len meeting his horrible demise, dressed as Rin. Though there is a PV like that, the original lyrics have nothing to do with the 'Daughter of Evil' series.

アドレサンス / Adolescence

Sung by Rin and Len
Music arranged by Signal-P
Title/Logo by Sacrow
Lyrics arranged by Orange
Illustrations by Hiro Tamura

Adolescence is an arrangement of Cendrillon which was written by Signal-P, and originally sung by Miku Hatsune and Kaito. Orange, who wrote the lyrics, says that the song is about Rin and Len who were like two peas in a pod and grew up to come to the age of puberty where they can't share the same bed as they did when they were little children. They no longer are perfect look-alike like a reflection in the mirror since they hit adolescence and their bodies are developing differently. They both sing about how hard it is to be separated because they are always together. While Rin states throughout the song that she doesn't want Len to leave her, he remains hesitant throughout the song until the end when he states that he will no longer retreat from her.

trick and treat

Sung by: Rin and Len
Original Music and lyrics by: OSTER-project

trick and treat is a mild horror song created for Halloween. The title of this song is a pun for the saying "trick or treat" in English. The song is about Rin and Len, tricking and treating Miku, and apparently devouring her. While Rin and Len initially appear innocent, welcoming, and treat her friendly, they later reveal their true natures. At first they invite the clueless Miku to play with them and blindfold her. Later, Len speaks that Miku comes to wonder if love exists or not and Rin sings of frightening shadows that Miku sees through the blindfold. Miku trembles with fright to see the two friendly people she knew have shown their actual shapes. Then Len and Rin remove their friendly facades, asking Miku if she would like to be blinded. They start hitting her up to give them what she has in her pocket at once. They have a thirst for it, but it is not certain what it is from the lyrics, and there are various interpretations.
There are many Fanmade PVs with this song. One of the most popular PVs is using characters of Reborn!, Tsuna as Miku, Chrome and Mukuro as Rin and Len, and the Vongola Guardians with Yu-kichi's own extended interpretation, who drew illustrations of this PV.(Nicovideo Broadcast,YouTube Broadcast) Its style is very suitably dark for this song, with mainly black and white colors. It starts with puppet versions of Chrome and Mukuro dancing. Tsuna is lured into a mansion where they welcome him in. He falls into sleep and after he awakes he finds himself in a room. Running out of the room, he comes across them. In the end, Tsuna dances as a puppet with the Chrome and Mukuro puppets and then drops and other two take a bow. After the credits, Tsuna turns out to be the one controlling the puppets. This PV is one of Vocaloid/Reborn! crossovers.

夢桜 / Yumezakura (Cherry Blossom of Dream)

Sung by Rin and Len
Music and lyrics written by Hitoshizuku-P

This song is about the apparently forbidden love between a young noblewoman represented by Rin and an violin player by Len. She was to be married to a rich man represented by Gakupo, but she met a boy who was playing the violin under the cherry tree on her way home after a party and fell in love at first sight. The boy was left an orphan because of the earthquake disaster. They both wished that their love could last forever, but they decided to break it off.[2]

リンリンシグナル / Rin Rin Signal

Sung by Rin and Len
Music and Lyrics by Signal-P

ジェミニ / Gemini

Sung by Rin and Len
Music and Lyrics by DixieFlatline

Gemini is a song sung by both Rin and Len. The tone and wording of the song is rather vague, but many have taken it as a song about them as twins since Len likens himself and Rin to Gemini in the sky. Throughout the song, Rin sings about how she goes through many troubles throughout her life, with Len coming to her aid and letting her feel as though she is not alone. The song also has references to astronomy and astrology, one time even saying that they were destined to meet 'beyond the night sky'. Note that Gemini is referring to the meaning "twins" and not the zodiac.Template:Citation needed

69 (Six Nine)

Sung by Rin and Len
Music by Nio-P
Lyrics by Mache and Nio-P

This song opens with Len singing of how in a dream Rin is always in slight pain. It is revealed that she is bedridden and cannot move her body, save for her head. Though Len worries for her, he does not mind, stating that he actually prefers it and takes care of her. Rin then takes over in the second part. Though she loves Len deeply and is grateful for all that he does for her, she still does not feel like she deserves it. Despite Len's reassurance that everything will be alright, she reaches the point where she cannot take it and dies with a final thank you to Len and wishing for him to love another as he had loved her. Many Fanmade PVs of this song interpret Rin's immobility.

ジュブナイル / Juvenile

Sung by Rin and Len
Music and Lyrics by DixieFlatline
Video by Mitosa

In this song, Rin and Len are shown as a couple. Len sings that he is a "cool" guy, since the cutest kid in Rin's class asked him for her email, due to the fact that Rin is shown a good-looking girl, she is probably a popular girl. Len loves Rin, but he isn't sure what Rin thinks of him. Rin knows Len loves her and she loves Len as well, but instead of being with Len, she keeps looking at other guys.
Len thinks other guys aren't good enough for Rin, unlike himself. Len sings that Rin is a "fickle cat with an easily changed heart" which means she keeps on looking at other guys. Rin says she might as well love Len, even though he might be a little small and childish. Len tells Rin to come back to him, since she has no other choice. Frustrated, Rin says what Len said is "out of fashion" and he suddenly becomes a patient guy. Rin is also frustrated at Len when he calls her a "tsundere" and she says she isn't a "tsundere". In the end, the both of them are together.

白黒病棟 / Shiro-kuro Byoutou (Monochrome Ward)

Sung by Rin and Len, spoken words voiced by Rin, Len, Meiko
Music and Lyrics by Yugami-P

In the original video, Len is sitting on the bed surrounded by medical devices. As Len asks where the exit is, Rin answers “There”. Then the sounds of running footfalls and a blood-soaked music box echoes hollowly. When Len asks the same question and Rin answers the same again, a butcher knife is depicted and a girl’s scream resounds. What the lyrics and original video tell are very abstract and various Fanmade PVs have been made for this song with different interpretations.

闇のダンスサイト / Yami no Dance Site (Dance Site of Darkness)

Sung by Rin and Len Music and lyrics by Boomerangpants-P

siGrE

Sung by Rin and Len
Music and lyrics by Suzuki-P

This is a song of a man(Len) and a woman(Rin) who are separated when the man leaves her for some reasons. The woman is in love and waits for him but passes away. The man mourns her death and wishs to siGrE “the drizzling rain” to tell her how he is feeling now. Since the original video and lyrics do not tell the detail of the situations they are in, there are many Fanmade PVs with different fan interpretations.

悪ノ娘 / Aku no Musume (The Daughter of Evil)

Sung by Rin
Music and lyrics by Akuno-P (mothy)
(Original video by Akuno-P)

"Daughter of Evil" tells the story of an evil princess who rules over a kingdom with every luxury she could wish for at the expense of her people, and has a servant who looks like her. The story chronicles how the man of another kingdom accross the sea, who the Daughter of Evil loved, falls in love with a girl in the "green land". In a jealous rage, the Daughter of Evil tells her ministers to destroy the "green land". While the "green land" burns, the Daughter of Evil says, "Oh my, it's time for a snack". Later, a woman with red armor storms the Daughter of Evil's royal palace. Together with the angry people from all over the land, she seizes the Daughter of Evil, who is then sentenced to death at the guillotine. Before she is beheaded, however, the Daughter of Evil once more says her usual line: "Oh my, it's time for a snack". According to Akuno-P, the Daughter's portrayal was based on Marie Antoinette.

悪ノ召使 / Aku no Meshitsukai (The Servant of Evil)

Sung by Len
Music and lyrics by Akuno-P (mothy)
(Original video by Akuno-P)

"Servant of Evil" is a parallel story to the "Daughter of Evil". Although he is actually her twin, later became her servant while she was a princess. Although the Daughter of Evil is cruel and cold, her servant only sees her soft and innocent side, and serves her devotedly. However, visiting a "land of green", Servant of Evil happens to fall in love with a green-haired girl he sees there. When the Daughter of Evil, in her jealousy, orders Servant of Evil to have her killed and he obeys without hesitation. Later, a red knight attacks the palace intent on taking the Daughter of Evil's life. Her servant comes up with a plan to save her: they will trade their clothes and switch places. Since they are twins, no one will be able to tell the difference. Sure enough, the troops are fooled, and the servant disguised as the princess is beheaded before a crowd, including the grieving princess. However, the Servant tells us through the song, he has no regrets and is glad that he could serve his beloved sister until the end. His last wish was if he was reincarnated, he hoped to be with her again.
Akuno-P later released a "velvet mix" on December 27, 2009 to celebrate Rin and Len's second birthday.

Shuujin-P’s works

囚人 / Shuujin (Prisoner)

Sung by Len
Music and lyrics written, and video produce composed by Shuujin-P

A young man (Len) was one of the many prisoners and he encountered a beautiful young maiden (Rin) who appeared over the barbed-wire wall. He was fascinated by her so he decided to write her a letter one day, hoping the she would answer. His prayers being granted, his letter was given a reply. On a daily basis, they would meet for a brief moment and fly a paper plane across the wall. He found joy in his life just by getting letters from her--though he never conveyed his feelings for her.
Until a day came when the mysterious girl told him she would head off somewhere far and bade farewell to him. (Though there is an explanation as to why she did go away, it was not interpreted until the reply to the song 紙飛行機 / Kami Hikouki (Paper Plane) comes). As she went away, he kept all her letters and treasured them dearly until one of the Generals and his henchmen decided to torment the young man by making fun of his attachment to the letters. They went as far as to tear the letters which triggered his anger and punched the General. The men decided to put him in the room, where seems to be a gas chamber, to die. In the room, he begins to struggle to get out with the thought of seeing the girl once more and asking her name. It is not made clear in the video whether he died or not, but Paper Plane does indeed confirm his fate.
According to the video it is reminiscent of the infamous Holocaust during the World War II and has been critisized that many events do not match up with the historic fact, however, the author has not mentioned that the settings are based on it.
紙飛行機 / Kami Hikouki (Paper Plane)

Sung by Rin
Music and lyrics written, and video produce composed by Shuujin-P

This song is the reply to Len's Prisoner but in Rin's point of view--the young maiden(Rin) whom a young man (Len) had fallen for. In the video, she was the daughter of one of the Generals' in-charge with the prison compound where Len was in. She went to meet him, and flied him a paper plane--the letter--even though she suffered from a terrible illness which was never clarified in the story. She eventually fell for him but as soon as she did, her father found out about her affair and forbid her to go out of the hospital and meet the boy. As time went by, Rin got weaker and weaker that her ears got hard of hearing and moving her legs proved to be very difficult for her. She then decided to bid farewell to the young man properly so he would not have to ponder of what happened to her. She made an excuse that she would be going somewhere far away, but as soon as she was about to leave, he told her that he would wait for her and that he would treasure each and every letter she gave him. As the story went on, it was shown that her father was the one who put the young man in even more agony by ripping the letters from her. He was also the one who gave the order to execute him.
The young maiden on the other hand, is already paralyzed from the illness that she couldn't even grasp one of his letters. However, seeing how devoted she has become to the young man, her father picked up the letter and placed it in her hand as a final act of kindness to his dying daughter. She was smiling when she died.
In "heaven" or somewhere she is in front of the barbed-wire wall, the very same way she stood when she first met the young man. It is then shown that on the other side, he is there, and then, the wall disappears. With that, they find true happiness by being with each other in their own world.
This PV and Prisoner's display Rin and Len as a couple or two people of no blood-relation.
第一章「新世紀」 / Dai Is-shou: Shin Seiki (Chapter 1: The New Millennium)

Sung by Len, the Elevator Girl voiced by Miku
Music and lyrics written, and video produce composed by Shuujin-P

In this song, Len plays the role of a young man who is forced to watch the horrors and sadness of the world happened in the past from a glass elevator. Miku Hatsune also appears as the operator of the elevator. He asks her why he's going up, and she replies "There's really not much difference between that and your life." First, he sees a little boy who looks alike to him with a large gun, accompanied by a girl(Rin) and a man (Gakupo), in a poor country in the middle of a war. The country has little to no food or water, and the people in it are suffering and dying. Once again, the young man asks the elevator girl why he can’t go out of the elevator, and she answers " That's the way it goes as with all human lives."
Soon after, he sees a man wearing glasses in an industrialized city. The city is rich, successful and seemingly content with their technology. However, accidentally, nuclear missiles are fired at the city. Then, the young man in the elevator clings to the elevator girl's arm, asking her "Why do you keep showing me such suffering things?" and then, she asks back, "There's really not much difference between those and your life, is it?" and this time, she herself takes the form of the young man. Suddenly, the elevator door opens and starts speeding downwards. The one who took form of his keeps the door open for the young man to go out of the elevator. After jumping out of the elevator and falling a long way down, the young man finds himself surrounded by the planets. Wondering to himself why humanity has doomed itself the way it has, he hardens his conviction that suffering and harming each other is not the way humanity should live. His wish then shapes a new peaceful world.
This song is evidently the last song in a 3 part series released later consisting of Utopia, A Ray of Hope and The New Millennium: all of which are composed by Shuujin-P.
The order in which these songs would fall chronologically often confuses fans because the ending of each song is open ended and The New Millennium was released earlier than both Utopia and A Ray of Hope. But, according to the storyline, chronologically , Chapter 2: Utopia is the first episode, Chapter 3: A Ray of Hope is the second and Chapter 1: The New Millennium is the third . The chapters of these songs also do not seem to chronologically fall in order.
Some fans consider the series to be a cycle, where the Len from The New Millennium is similar to the Len that narrates Utopia. There is some evidence that does debunk this: as Utopia’ suggests, Rin and Len are a couple. In A Ray of Hope and The New Millennium, Rin and Len are siblings who are reincarnations of the Rin and Len in Utopia.
Another possibility is that Len from The New Millennium had appeared before the timeline in Utopia due to his actions jumping out of the elevator and changing humanity's past. However, no official information has been released on the real ending and it is left to individual interpretation.
第二章「理想郷」 / Dai Ni Shou: Risoukyou (Chapter 2: Utopia)

Sung by Rin and Len
Music and lyrics written, and video produce composed by Shuujin-P

Shuujin-P says this is the song of neo-futuristic science fiction. Utopia takes place in the future of Earth, where most of the population is wiped out from nuclear warfare. 50 years before the song's storyline, the United Nations (the meeting led by Kaito) proposed the Humanity Revival Project which was placed into action. It was established that the public believed what makes them human is having a soul, thus they transferred the souls of humans into immortal androids, saying science would overcome all the problems such as hunger and physical pain. In the present storyline, a girl(Rin) is feeling pain since she clashed with a boy and her lover (Len) the day before. But she thinks it would go away soon because both she and he are to be granted the privilege of new bodies of their own next day. Before the procedure, she requests that she wants to be similar-looking as him.
The pair goes through the procedure and the boy meets the girl in her new form. But, as he hears her voice and sees her, he realizes he can’t recognize her as the same person as before the procedure. Their human emotions quickly deteriorate, as they do not feel any pain whatsoever, whether it is physical or emotional. Because of these traits, they do not understand physical sensations such as 'hot' and 'cold', and ideas such as 'love' and 'peace', and they lose sight of what it is like to 'live'. In the end, they lose their identities as 'humans'...
This song links to A Ray of Hope and is part of a 3 part series by Shuujin-P consisting of Utopia, A Ray of Hope and The New Millennium. Chronologically, according to the storyline, Chapter 2:Utopia is the first episode in the series and falls before both Chapter 3: A Ray of Hope and Chapter 1:The New Millennium. Since it was released by the composer as Chapter 2 of the series, this often confuses fans of the song order in which these fall in.
It should also be noted that Rin and Len are introduced into this song as a couple and not siblings.
第三章「一縷の願い」 / Dai San Shou: Ichiru no Negai (Chapter 3: A Ray of Hope/ A Faint Wish)

Sung by Rin and Len, the Elevator Girl voiced by Miku
Music and lyrics written, and video produce composed by Shuujin-P

Picking up where Chapter 2: Utopia leaves off, A Ray of Hope occurs the original Humanity Revival Project was proposed by the United Nations and what happened in the episode of Utopia. Since the 'new humanity', who have android bodies which the people transferred their souls into, do not understand what it is like to have 'pain', they start eliminating those who are not of their kind. This rapidly dwindles the remaining un-android human population and engulfs the world into chaos once more, which is contradictory to what the original project's aim was.
The remaining un-android humans are slaughtered, leaving twins (Rin and Len) as the last two of 'old humanity'. They traverse through the city where the androids infested, to a Transdimensional-Orbital Interface, which would allow them to travel through time to, hopefully, prevent this catastrophe from ever happening. Under attack by the 'new humanity', they activate the device in hurry and they are given visions of their past lives.
Evidently, these past lives are also cameos from other songs composed by Shuujin-P (Playlist) which consist of :
Song Title Rin Len
囚人Shuujin (Prisoner)/紙飛行機Kami Hikouki (Paper Plane) A sick person A prisoner
革命Kakumei (Revolution) A waiting person A warrior
孤児Koji (Orphan) An orphan who has a brother An orphan who has a sister
脱獄Datsugoku (Jailbreak) A bird An owner
理想郷 Risoukyou (Utopia) A person transferred into android A person transferred into android
分断Bundan(Separation/Division) A traveler A traveler
Various Siblings
Various *Couple


The girl(or possibly both of them) realizes that through the ages, regardless of circumstances, they've been together one way or another and it would be heart breaking if they were to lose each other. She decides to not have her brother save her again and shoves him into the Transdimensional-Orbital Interface chamber, quickly shutting the door and locking him in. She then starts up the machine, as he desperately tries to convince her and open the door. She, on the other hand is resolute in being a distraction, as there is not enough time for both of them to escape and dies at the hands of the android (probably this is Android boy from Utopia, who represented by Len), protecting her brother till the chamber is ready. The city is now solely filled with androids with his eliminated sister and he slipping through time through the use of the chamber. At the end, he finds himself in an Elevator, and an Elevator Girl calls out: 「上へ参ります」 ("Ue e mairi masu"), translated as "This elevator goes to the upper floors."
The appearance of the Elevator and the Elevator Girl signals the transition into Chapter 1 :The New Millennium. According to the storyline , it chronologically makes Chapter 1:The New Millennium occur after Chapter 3:A Ray of Hope . Though A Ray of Hope was released by the composer as Chapter 3 of the series, it is the second episode of the series in chronological order. This often confuses fans of the song order in which these fall in.

~Synchronicity~

It has been claimed that "The series was cancelled in May of 2010. There will be no third installment. An incomplete video of the third installment was put up on the Nicovideo broadcast, but was soon taken down." While it is very likely that this may be true, it has not yet been proven.

~Synchronicity~ 君を捜す空 / ~Synchronicity~ Kimi wo Sagasu Sora (The Sky Where I Look for You )

Sung by Len
Story by Kumagai, Song by Hitoshizuku-P, Art/Video by Suzunosuke

This is the story of Len searching for Rin who has been chosen as a Diva; a singer who sings to a dragon so that it may bless the country. The only way for a Diva to escape her/his role is to either be killed by the dragon or for another Diva to replace them.[3] This is part one of the planned three songs of the Synchronicity series.[4]
~Synchronicity~ 光と影の楽園 / ~Synchronicity~ Hikari to Kage no Rakuen (Paradise of Light and Shadow)

Sung by Rin and Len
Story by Kumagai, Song by Hitoshizuku-P, Art/Video by Suzunosuke

This is the second part of the Synchronicity series. In this, Len infiltrates the castle and tries to go for Luka, who is a pythoness of the empire, to find Rin. There Meiko, who was nobly born and became a fencer of the empire, attacks Len. However, when she was fighting with Len, he reminds her of her old friend Teto, who sacrificed herself for Meiko and decided to become a Diva, and she goes in with him to save his sister.[5] Len, Meiko, Gakupo and Kaito join together and they go to where the dragon lies and confronts Miku, another dragon who is convinced she is a girl by a magical mask forced on her face by the church members (however, Len destroys this mask, which presumably restores her memories). The ending of the PV shows Len running towards the distant figure of Rin, hand reaching for her, with happy tears in his eyes.

Benzene series

パラジクロロベンゼン【破壊系洗脳ソング】 / Parajikurorobenzen 【Hakai-kei Sennou Song】 (Paradichlorobenzene 【Destructive-type brainwashing song】)

Sung by Len, background vocals by Rin
Music and lyrics written by Owata-P

The song features an animated PV featuring both Len and Rin and computer graphics. The word "Paradichlorobenzene" is repeated constantly throughout the video. There are also frames that flash for less than a second that explain details of the chemical (C6H4Cl2, also known as 1,4-Dichlorobenzene or paradichlorobenzene). On the surface, it seems the word has little to do with the meaning of the song - in fact the lyrics tell that the song and the word have no meaning; “Is there any meaning to this song? There is no meaning to this verse [song]. Is there any sin in this song? There is no sin in this verse [song]. ", " Is there any meaning to ＊＊＊＊[benzene]? There is no meaning to ＊＊＊＊[benzene]. Is there any sin in ＊＊＊＊[benzene]? What this song means is ＊＊＊＊[benzene]."
However, Owata-P posted some comments on his blog that the lyrics carry the hidden messages and meanings, and announced there are many clues in the video. He has not elaborated what they really are yet, just saying that interpretations can differ in individuals. [6]
One of the interpretations is that Len sings of the tendency for artists whose works are rubbished insensitively or unregarded, and they become jealous of others' work, which they see as better or beloved. As a result, these artists will usually try to erupt in violence and rage against him/herself and others insensitively.
The song is the third song of Owata's "Benzene series" (Benzene, Nitrobenzene, and Paradichlorobenzene), and is arguably the most popular in the series. Owata-P states that the previous two songs don't carry any hidden meanings. The song also lasted in the Weekly Vocaloid Rankings for ten consecutive weeks, even scoring the first place spot for two weeks in a row. It later returned after three weeks for another four-week run and is still being ranked.
アンチクロロベンゼン【浄罪系洗脳ソング】 / Anchikurorobenzen【Jouzai-kei Sennou Song】 (Antichlorobenzene【Purificatory-type brainwashing song】)

Sung by Rin, background vocals by Len
Music and lyrics written by Owata-P

The fourth song of the series has been made public. "Antichlorobenzene" is a response to "Paradichlorobenzene", and sung by Kagamine Rin.

ウイルス抗戦 / Virus Resistance

第一次ウイルス抗戦 強襲編 / Dai Ichi Ji Virus Kousen Kyoushuu Hen (First Virus Resistance Episode: Assault)

Sung by Rin
Music and lyrics by minus
Illustrated by SHARK

This is a series of three songs sung by Rin. In the first song, Rin is attacked by a deadly virus that diminishes her voice and makes her body grow weak. She sings as best she can, screaming out in pain and also having difficulty getting some words out, represented by staccato and some buggy vibrato. The PV uses several stock videos of war, implying that the song she is singing is like a battle cry, and that she promises to return from her virus.

In the second video, she sees herself as a young girl before passing out (it should be noted that Rin appears to be at least ten years older than her usual depiction). She then wakes up to stark, bleached world full of broken parts, her right arm completely destroyed. She walks through the wasteland, searched for pieces of metal to make a new right arm out of. During this, she sings mostly about how she is 'leaving herself behind' to create a new body for her. She prepares for her return.

In the final video, Rin has become a sort of a vigilante. She now has a new right arm made of replacement parts, covered up by a stark black sleeve that resembles her character model's. She also has a new shotgun, as well as some sort of futuristic motorbike. Throughout the story, she is talking to and warning the very viruses that infected her that she will now 'be the rain that brings peace', shooting at every virus she sees. She continues this existence, evidently hoping to retrieve something else she has lost. Rin ifights until her last breath, forces her self back awake, turns herself into an antivirus, and destroys the very viruses that were out to destroy her.

Dolls

Sung by Rin
Music and lyrics by Rozenkreuz-P

A doll with a living mind inside of her wonders why she was born and why her heart is made of silver after her creator passes away. For many years she sings, dances and hopes that one day she could go to 'that place' where her creator has gone. After many years, she attempts to 'go' to that place with her body which was almost broken and she finally sees the creator she lost so long ago. This song was originally made and sung by Miku by the same author.
