メカクシティデイズ
Mekakucity Days is a series of music videos that tell the stories of some of the members of the "Mekakushi-dan." Kagerou Daze In the scorching heat haze of summer, Hibiya Amamiya feels every day is monotonous. On a swing in a park, he meets up with Hiyori Asahina, who gently strokes the cat in her arms. However, when the cat leaps away, Hiyori runs headlong into a never-ending tragedy—and Hibiya will do whatever it takes to see her safe. Headphone Actor "The end of the world is nigh," the news broadcast proclaims. Amidst the chaos, Takane Enomoto hears a voice in her headphones, asking if she wants to live. Following its directions, she races onward, but what awaits her may not be the salvation that she desires. Souzou Forest Due to her red eyes and white hair, everybody sees Mari Kozakura as a monster. Although she lacks the courage to do so, she dreams of escaping her house in the forest where she lives alone, imagining the world outside. Fortunately, her lonesome life begins to change with a simple knock on the door. Konoha no Sekai Jijou The android-like being Konoha lacks many memories. What he recalls are feelings of longing, but by who and for who, he cannot place. What he does know, however, is that in the heat haze of summer, a young boy and girl face a tragedy. But fate is unchangeable, and his desperate attempts to save them can never seem to rewrite the future. Toumei Answer Shintarou Kisaragi knows how every day will go. Blessed with a photographic memory, he knows he will score full marks on his next exam, and he knows that Ayano Tateyama, the girl who sits next to him, will do poorly. But with his genius also comes unrelenting boredom; not even Ayano's bright smile and optimistic outlook can make him waver. His apathy may finally be broken, however, when Ayano does something that shakes Shintarou to his very core. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Welcome to the first part of Kagerou Project, the first stone of the vast meta-universe Jin –also known as Shizen no Teki-P- created alongside Shidu and Wannyanpu. This album tries to straddle the fields of storytelling and music and weaves a suitable start for the adventure of the members of this tale; and it achieves its goal: It shows us the loose ends of a story that has something to do with a bunch of youngsters, although avoiding to reveal any extra info, as the lyrics are wisely composed with a meaning behind them, revealing some aspects either from the characters or the situations theyexperience in the story line. This turns out to make the viewer intrigued, certainly trying to figure out what this is all about. Still, needless to say that these feelings can not be aroused if Jin’s ability of storytelling were not hand in hand with the vivid, powerful pace that he provides to each of these songs. Nevertheless, you can likewise enjoy the music by itself (just as it happened to myself, as I started with the full concept but ended up listening to the album on my way to work). It gets stuck in one's head easily, as its catchy rhythm -usually a 32bit. adjustment pace, depending on which song are we talking about- alongside the warm and enjoyable voices of both vocaloids –Hatzune Miku & IA- are quite remarkable. As mentioned above, Mekakucity Days is the first of multiple parts that the Kagerou Project’s jigsaw puzzle includes; the first song uploaded by Jin, "Jinzou Enemy" –even though this song has no video attached to it- as well as the song that gave name to the series, "Kagerou Days”, along with "Toumei Answer", "Souzou Forest", “Headphone Actor” and “Konoha no Sekai Jijou”.
