Editor's note

Kagerou Project's experimental Vocaloid world

A Japanese music collective that built a haunting electronic universe online, inspiring manga and anime.

For the core sound, try 'Mekakushi Code' or 'Children Record'. They give you that blend of electronic experimentation and narrative atmosphere the project is known for.

Jin started posting Vocaloid tracks in 2008, and songs like 'Mekakushi Code' and 'Gunjou Rain' caught on with their eerie, synthetic feel. That early sound defined a whole fan-driven storyworld, which later spun out into actual manga and a stage adaptation. It's one of those online music projects that grew into something bigger almost by accident.

It began with Jin's solo Vocaloid compositions around 2008, drawing listeners with tracks like 'Gunjou Rain'. Over time, other musicians like Hachi and Daisuke Seto joined, and the group put out albums such as 'Mekakucity Actors'. The music inspired fan works and eventually official anime and stage adaptations.
