Mekakucity Days

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 they ... experience 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”.
