Background

"magnet" is a song featuring Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka by minato. A song about forbidden love between two girls, "magnet" shows the emotions involved with the prejudices of homosexuality. It is implied throughout the song that the two are very deeply in love and it is no mere fantasy or a fleeting encounter. Though their love is strong they cannot help but feel that what they are doing is wrong due to the moral value forced upon them by society.

The song has received multiple remixes, PVs and covers by multiple people, ranging from various shippings and even parodies, covering practically all the possible couples between the VOCALOIDs. magnet has also become a "introduction" song for many new VOCALOIDs and it is common for a VOCALOID to receive a magnet cover within a day or two of their release, a practice that is not restricted to just Japanese VOCALOIDs.

Controversy

The original "magnet" song on Nico Nico Douga was made private by minato due to the matter of Yunomi-P's plagiarism.^[1]

Due to the nature of the controversy, its full explanation shall not be posted to prevent reviving old flamewars and attacks against Yunomi-P.

Japanese (日本語歌詞)	Romaji (ローマ字)
か細い火が　心の端に灯る	kabosoi hi ga kokoro no hashi ni tomoru
いつの間にか燃え広がる熱情	itsu no ma ni ka moehirogaru netsujou
私の蝶　不規則に飛び回り	watashi no chou fukisoku ni tobimawari
あなたの手に鱗粉を付けた	anata no te ni rinpun o tsuketa

絡み合う指ほどいて　唇から舌へと	karamiau yubi hodoite kuchibiru kara shita e to
許されない事ならば　尚更燃え上がるの	yurusarenai koto naraba naosara moeagaru no

抱き寄せて欲しい　確かめて欲しい	dakiyosete hoshii tashikamete hoshii
間違いなど無いんだと　思わせて	machigai nado nain da to omowasete
キスをして　塗り替えて欲しい	kisu o shite nurikaete hoshii
魅惑の時に酔いしれ溺れていたいの	miwaku no toki ni yoishire oborete itai no

束縛して　もっと必要として	sokubaku shite motto hitsuyou to shite
愛しいなら執着を見せつけて	itoshii nara shuuchaku o misetsukete
「おかしい」のが　たまらなく好きになる	"okashii" no ga tamaranaku suki ni naru
行けるトコまで行けばいいよ	ikeru toko made ikeba ii yo

迷い込んだ心なら　簡単に融けてゆく	mayoikonda kokoro nara kantan ni tokete yuku
優しさなんて感じる暇など　無い位に	yasashisa nante kanjiru hima nado nai kurai ni

繰り返したのは　あの夢じゃなくて	kurikaeshita no wa ano yume ja nakute
紛れも無い現実の私達	magire mo nai genjitsu no watashitachi
触れてから　戻れないと知る　それでいいの…	furete kara modorenai to shiru sore de ii no...
誰よりも大切なあなた	dare yori mo taisetsu na anata

夜明けが来ると不安で　泣いてしまう私に	yoake ga kuru to fuan de naite shimau watashi ni
「大丈夫」と囁いたあなたも　泣いていたの？	"daijoubu" to sasayaita anata mo naite ita no?

抱き寄せて欲しい　確かめて欲しい	dakiyosete hoshii tashikamete hoshii
間違いなど無いんだと　思わせて	machigai nado nai n da to omowasete
キスをして　塗り替えて欲しい　魅惑の時に	kisu o shite nurikaete hoshii miwaku no toki ni
酔いしれ溺れたい	yoishire oboretai

引き寄せて　マグネットのように	hikiyosete magunetto no you ni
例えいつか離れても巡り会う	tatoe itsuka hanarete mo meguriau
触れていて　戻れなくていい　それでいいの	furete ite modorenakute ii sore de ii no
誰よりも大切なあなた	dare yori mo taisetsu na anata

A slender flame burns from the edge of my heart
Before I know it, the passion takes light
My butterfly flutters about erratically
Leaving a fine dust on your hand

Loosen these intertwined fingers, from lips to tongue
And if it's forbidden, the flame burns even brighter

I want you to hold me close, I want you to be sure
Let me think that this is no mistake
I want you to kiss me, to paint me anew
I want to drown in your seduction

Uneasy in the morning light, I cry
When you whispered "It's okay," were you crying too?

I want you to hold me close, I want you to be sure
Let me think that this is no mistake
I want you to kiss me, to paint me anew
I want to drown in your seduction

Draw me in, like a magnet
Meet me again, even if we must part
Don't let go, I don't care if we can never go back; it's what I want—You're more important to me than anyone...
