Kagerou Project
The Kagerou Project, also known as Kagerou Daze or Kagepro, is a Japanese multimedia franchise created by musician and writer Jin (also known as Shizen no Teki-P), revolving around the Mekakushi Dan—a group of teenagers who gain supernatural eye abilities following traumatic incidents and become entangled in repeating time loops tied to events on August 14 and 15.[1][2] The project originated in 2011 as a series of Vocaloid songs composed and written by Jin, starting with the track "Jinzō Enemy" and gaining widespread attention with "Kagerou Days," which features cryptic lyrics and interconnected narratives hinting at the broader story.[3][1] These songs, often illustrated with music videos by artist Sidu, explore themes of loss, regret, and redemption through the perspectives of individual characters, each linked by a central "daze" phenomenon.[1] Expanding beyond music, the franchise developed into light novels titled Kagerou Daze, authored by Jin with illustrations by Sidu; the first volume was published in May 2012 by Enterbrain, detailing the Mekakushi Dan's formation and struggles in a more linear fashion while preserving the songs' puzzle-like structure.[3][1] Manga adaptations followed, including Kagerou Daze by Mahiro Satō (serialized from 2012 to 2019 in Monthly Comic Gene) and spin-offs focusing on specific characters, alongside drama CDs compiling the original songs with added voice acting.[3] The anime adaptation, Mekakucity Actors, produced by Shaft and aired from April to June 2014, reinterprets the story across 12 episodes, blending episodic song-based segments with overarching plot progression.[2] Kagerou Project achieved significant popularity in the Vocaloid and anime communities, with a 2014 survey of over 2,000 fans citing its catchy melodies, visually striking music videos, and emotionally resonant, interpretive lyrics as key appeals; it influenced subsequent multimedia storytelling in Japanese pop culture by demonstrating how song series could evolve into expansive narratives across formats.[1] The franchise has spawned merchandise, live events, and exhibitions, though production slowed after the anime due to copyright disputes that stalled new projects, including the planned Kagerou Daze No.9 anime announced in 2019 but delayed indefinitely in 2021.[4] Jin has pursued other projects like the manga Nirvana (2016–2017).[5][6]Creation and development
Project origins
The Kagerou Project began as a Vocaloid song series conceived by Japanese musician Jin (born October 20, 1990), who produces under the alias Shizen no Teki-P. His debut track "Jinzou Enemy," uploaded to Niconico on February 17, 2011, marked the unofficial inception of the project, introducing core elements that would define the interconnected storyline.[7] Subsequent releases in 2011 built upon this foundation, with "Mekakushi Code" appearing on May 29 and "Kagerou Daze" on September 30—the latter serving as the third song and proving pivotal for the series' rising popularity due to its compelling narrative hook and over six million views on Niconico.[7][8] Further early tracks, such as "Headphone Actor" (December 15, 2011) and "Kuusou Forest" (February 1, 2012), expanded the shared universe, weaving psychological themes and character arcs across the songs to establish a cohesive, looping tale.[9][10] These songs were initially shared online via Niconico Douga and YouTube, where fan engagement drove organic growth through comments, remixes, and discussions. Visual elements were integral from the start, with illustrator Shidu (sidu) providing hand-drawn music videos and character designs that amplified the storytelling, such as the distinctive aesthetics in "Kagerou Daze."[11] By 2012, sustained fan interest transformed the fan-driven uploads into a formalized multimedia endeavor, culminating in the release of the debut album Mekakucity Days on May 30, which compiled and remastered the early tracks for commercial distribution.[12] This milestone solidified the project's status, paving the way for expansions into novels and anime adaptations.Creative team and influences
Jin, known professionally as Shizen no Teki-P, is the central creative force behind the Kagerou Project, serving as its primary writer, composer, lyricist, and overall director. He composed and produced the original Vocaloid songs that launched the franchise, while also authoring the light novel series Kagerou Daze and contributing as the screenwriter for the anime adaptation Mekakucity Actors.[13][14][15] The project's themes of youth isolation and interpersonal connections, exemplified by the hikikomori protagonist Shintaro Kisaragi, reflect Jin's intent to resonate with audiences experiencing loneliness in friendships and online interactions, drawing from the introspective dynamics of early 2010s internet culture.[16][17] Shidu (also stylized as Sidu) played a pivotal role in establishing the project's visual identity as the illustrator for the music videos, promotional artwork, and light novels. Her contributions include animating key videos like "Kagerou Daze" and providing the hazy, ethereal illustrations that evoke sweltering summer atmospheres central to the narrative's motifs of heat haze and fleeting time.[18][14][19] The Kagerou Project originated within the Vocaloid community, utilizing software from Yamaha's Vocaloid lineup for its songs, with early tracks featuring Hatsune Miku and the Kagamine Rin/Len duo, transitioning to IA for subsequent releases to suit the evolving sound and story. Later expansions incorporated human vocalists, such as IA's voice provider Lia for select performances and covers by artists in the anime soundtrack, broadening the auditory palette beyond synthesized vocals.[15][20] In 2012, following the viral success of the songs on platforms like Nico Nico Douga, Jin decided to expand the project into prose, partnering with Enterbrain (a Kadokawa imprint) to release the first Kagerou Daze light novel volume, which serialized the interconnected narratives in greater depth. This multimedia pivot continued with the 2014 anime adaptation Mekakucity Actors, produced by Shaft under director Akiyuki Shinbo, which integrated the songs into episodic storytelling while Jin oversaw the script and music.[13][14][15]Plot
Core narrative
The Kagerou Project centers on Shintaro Kisaragi, a reclusive hikikomori who has isolated himself for two years following the suicide of his childhood friend Ayano Tateyama on August 15. This tragic event marks the beginning of a larger cycle, drawing Shintaro into a world of supernatural occurrences when he encounters Ene, a digital entity, and is subsequently abducted by a group of teenagers known as the Mekakushi Dan.[21] Their intervention pulls him from his solitude, forcing him to confront the repeating events tied to that fateful date.[22] At the heart of the narrative is the "Kagerou Daze," a enigmatic phenomenon manifesting as an endless loop of a sweltering summer day on August 15, triggered by a viral video that incites a chain of deaths among its viewers.[23] Those who perish in this loop are granted "eye abilities"—supernatural powers manifesting in their eyes—upon surviving and returning to the living world, altering their perceptions and capabilities in profound ways. The Mekakushi Dan, composed of individuals who have endured this cycle, forms as a collective to combat the Snake of Clearing Eyes and the conspiracies tied to the origins of the eyes, which seek to exploit these powers and perpetuate the loop's chaos.[24][25] The story builds toward breaking the Kagerou Daze through the unified actions of the group, highlighting the transformative power of human connections in overcoming isolation and grief.[26] This resolution underscores themes of solidarity, as individual struggles give way to shared resolve against the repeating torment.[22] The narrative unfolds non-linearly across various media, with full coherence emerging only through engagement with multiple formats like music videos, novels, and anime, each contributing fragmented perspectives to the overarching tale.[21]Story routes
The story of Kagerou Project primarily unfolds through the Kagerou Daze light novels, which comprise eight volumes presenting interconnected perspectives within the overarching time loop known as the Kagerou Daze, where events on August 15 repeat until resolved. These character-focused volumes form a cohesive narrative puzzle, exploring the Mekakushi Dan members and their eye abilities, with additional perspectives on figures such as Hibiya Amamiya (volume 2) and Takane Enomoto (Ene, volume 3).[27] The main arc centers on Shintaro Kisaragi's perspective in the first volume, depicting him as an 18-year-old hikikomori who has isolated himself for two years following the death of his friend Ayano Tateyama. Forced to leave his room after spilling soda on his computer equipment during the Obon holiday, Shintaro ventures to a department store, where a terrorist attack unfolds, drawing him into contact with the Mekakushi Dan. This path leads to the "Clear" ending, where Shintaro gains the Retaining Eyes ability, allowing him to retain memories across loops and ultimately confront the loop's origin to break the cycle.[16][27] The volume centered on Ayano delves into her backstory as the original leader of the Mekakushi Dan and her familial connections to the group, including her adoptive siblings Kido, Kano, and Seto. It reveals the origins of a viral video tied to her suicide, triggered by her inability to fit in and her acquisition of the Favoring Eyes upon death, which compels others to like her superficially. This arc highlights her internal conflict and sacrificial role in perpetuating the loop to protect her loved ones from the Haze domain's dangers.[27] The volume examining Momo focuses on her experiences as Shintaro's younger sister and a rising idol burdened by unwanted attention due to her Stealing Eyes ability, which draws others' gaze toward her. Encountering Kido during a school commute, Momo joins the Mekakushi Dan, exploring group dynamics under Kido's leadership and her contributions to resolving incidents like the department store crisis. This path emphasizes themes of isolation within fame and Momo's growth in using her power strategically to aid the team's escape from the loop.[16][27] The volume uncovering Kano reveals the Hazama family's dark secrets, including abusive experiments that granted Kano the Deceiving Eyes ability to alter perceptions and hide truths. As a key manipulator influenced by the Snake of Clearing Eyes, Kano's narrative exposes his divided loyalties between the Dan and external forces, tying into broader conspiracies involving the snakes' origins. This arc resolves deceptions that have sustained the loop, forcing Kano to confront his past traumas.[27] These volumes interconnect through shared elements like the Haze domain—a hazy, looping reality created by Azami—and the final confrontation in "Outer Science," where the Mekakushi Dan unites against the Snake of Clearing Eyes to prevent the snakes' manifestation in the real world. Each path provides fragmented memories and abilities that, when combined via Marry's Combining Eyes, enable the group to piece together the full truth, leading to the loop's permanent resolution in the novels' conclusion.[27] In the manga adaptations, the routes follow a similar structure but diverge with more emphasis on visual backstories and two distinct paths: the primary Manga Route 1 mirroring the novels' early events before an abrupt end due to the Snake of Clearing Eyes, and Manga Route 2 exploring an alternate timeline with heightened violence and character sacrifices. The anime, Mekakucity Actors, condenses these into a single 12-episode arc that aligns closely with the Music Route's origins but alters pacing for episodic storytelling, prioritizing action sequences over novel-specific resolutions while maintaining core interconnections.[28][2]Characters
Mekakushi Dan members
The Mekakushi Dan, literally translating to "Blinding Squad" or "Blindfold Gang," is the primary organization in the Kagerou Project, comprising a close-knit group of young people who collaborate to safeguard one another and confront external dangers. Headquartered in a dilapidated building on the outskirts of a city, the group was founded by mentor figure Kenjirou Tateyama to provide refuge for those with extraordinary circumstances in their lives. The core membership numbers nine individuals, each drawn into the fold through personal hardships, with dynamics centered on mutual support, shared secrets, and occasional interpersonal tensions that strengthen their bonds over time.[29][2] Tsubomi Kido serves as the official leader of the Mekakushi Dan, a tomboyish high school girl adopted into the Tateyama family following a turbulent childhood marked by loss. Known for her no-nonsense attitude and constant use of headphones to tune out distractions, Kido maintains order among the group's diverse personalities, often acting as the strategic coordinator for their activities. Her role emphasizes discipline and loyalty, helping to integrate newcomers into the fold.[30][2] Shintaro Kisaragi functions as the reluctant de facto leader and strategist, a reclusive NEET who spent two years isolated in his room before being pulled into the group's orbit. Highly skilled with computers, particularly his custom-built "Dead-7 Hakujoudai" machine, Shintaro provides technical expertise and analytical insights, though his cynical demeanor frequently clashes with the others' optimism. His involvement begins when he encounters the group during a rare outing, marking a turning point from solitude to reluctant camaraderie.[31][2] Ayano Tateyama acts as the emotional connector among members, a cheerful and empathetic girl whose infectious positivity helped forge early group ties. Deceased at the outset of the primary narrative, Ayano's backstory ties directly to the origins of the recurring time loop events that affect the group, making her a pivotal figure in their collective history despite her absence. Her legacy influences the members' motivations, fostering a sense of unity rooted in remembrance.[2] Kousuke Seto is the kind-hearted mediator of the Mekakushi Dan, a gentle high schooler with a natural affinity for plants and nature, often using his calming presence to resolve conflicts. Orphaned young and taken in by the Tateyama family alongside Kido and Kano, Seto's backstory involves overcoming isolation through bonds with living things, which translates to his role as the group's emotional anchor. He joined early in the Dan's formation, contributing to its familial atmosphere.[32][2] Marry Kozakura, often called Mary, is a shy and reserved member known for her singing talent, having endured a life of chronic misfortune that led her to seek solace in the group. As one of the earlier recruits under Kenjirou Tateyama's guidance, Mary's quiet demeanor hides a deep loyalty, and she participates in the Dan's musical performances while providing subtle support during missions. Her integration highlights the group's role as a haven for the overlooked.[33][2] Haruka Kokonose brings energy to the group as a self-conscious vocalist, a former aspiring singer whose insecurities stem from repeated failures in the entertainment world. Joining the Mekakushi Dan after a personal crisis, Haruka's enthusiastic personality contrasts his inner doubts, making him a motivator for collaborative efforts like performances. His presence adds a layer of artistic flair to the group's dynamics.[32][2] Momo Kisaragi, Shintaro's younger sister and a rising idol actress, joined the Mekakushi Dan seeking protection from the intense pressures of fame and obsessive fans. Her bubbly and outgoing nature helps lighten the mood, while her celebrity status occasionally aids the group in gathering information or resources. Recruited after an incident involving her brother, Momo's involvement underscores the Dan's protective ethos toward family.[32][31] Shuuya Kano, a mischievous and enigmatic member, contributes to the group's reconnaissance efforts with his adaptable skills honed from a childhood of evasion and disguise. Adopted into the Tateyama family with Kido and Seto, Kano's playful yet evasive personality often leads to light-hearted pranks, but his brief stints outside the core activities reveal a deeper commitment to the Dan's safety. His early membership helped establish the group's unorthodox structure.[32][2] Takane Enomoto, who manifests as the digital entity Ene within Shintaro's computer, offers hacking and surveillance support as a core operative. A former gamer girl plagued by bad luck in academics and social life, Takane's consciousness transfer into the digital realm occurred prior to the main events, allowing her to join the Mekakushi Dan remotely. Her witty and teasing interactions with Shintaro drive much of the group's tech-based strategies.[34][2] Hibiya Amamiya is a young boy who joins the Mekakushi Dan after traumatic events on August 15, possessing the ability to manipulate timelines through his "Stealing Eyes." Initially skeptical and hot-headed, he grows through his experiences with the group, particularly his bond with Hiyori, contributing to investigations and loop-breaking efforts.[35][2] Hiyori Momose, a cheerful girl who becomes Hibiya's close friend and fellow member, wields the "Splitting Eyes" ability to divide her consciousness. Her optimistic and somewhat scatterbrained personality adds levity, while her role in the time loops provides key insights into alternate routes, solidifying her place in the Dan's extended family.[36][2]Supporting characters
The Tateyama family serves as a foundational element in the backstory of several key figures within the Kagerou Project, providing emotional and narrative depth through their interconnected relationships and tragedies. Kenjirou Tateyama functions as the adoptive father to Tsubomi Kido, Shuuya Kano, and Kousuke Seto, while also being the biological father to Ayano Tateyama; as a dedicated researcher and educator, he grapples with loss and scientific curiosity that ties into the broader mysteries of the series. Living semi-retired, he established the Dan as a sanctuary in the abandoned building, drawing on his own experiences with loss to mentor the youth without full-time involvement. His influence persists as the philosophical backbone of the organization.[2] His wife, Ayaka Tateyama, represents a source of familial warmth before her untimely death, which profoundly impacts Kenjirou and their children, driving elements of grief and motivation in the family's arc.[37] Ayano's adoptive siblings—Shuuya Kano and Kousuke Seto—further illustrate the blended dynamics of the household, where shared hardships forge lasting bonds amid the unfolding events.[37] Azami stands as a pivotal immortal entity, revered as the original Medusa and the architect of the Kagerou Daze itself; as the mother of Shion Kozakura and grandmother to Marry Kozakura, her longing for connection births the metaphysical realm and the snake entities that influence human fates. Her creation of this endless loop stems from profound isolation, positioning her as a maternal figure whose actions ripple through generations and underpin the origins of the eye abilities inherited by others.[38] Antagonistic forces are embodied by entities like Kuroha, the dark manifestation of the Snake of Clearing Eyes, who acts as a manipulative counterpart seeking to dominate and reset timelines in opposition to the Mekakushi Dan's protective efforts. This snake, one of Azami's creations, embodies deception and possession, often infiltrating human hosts to pursue its agenda of ultimate control over the world's cycles.[25] Complementing this threat is the Snake of Retaining Eyes, a sentient entity born from sacrifice within the Tateyama lineage, which leads a variant of the Dan organization in certain narrative paths, fixated on harnessing and regulating the proliferation of eye powers.[39] Peripheral allies add layers of external influence and technological intrigue, such as Konoha, the possessed form of Haruka Kokonose by the Snake of Awakening Eyes, an enigmatic figure with fragmented memories who aligns with core protagonists during critical encounters, offering insights into artificial integration with the supernatural elements.[40] These characters collectively enrich the lore by exposing family secrets and organizational pursuits that propel the story's routes without supplanting the central group's dynamics.[21]Themes and elements
Eye abilities
The Eye abilities in the Kagerou Project originate from the intense desires of individuals who experience near-death within the Kagerou Daze, a recurring heat-haze illusion that loops on August 15th each year. These powers emerge as manifestations of the survivor's deepest wish, physically embodied as snakes born from Azami's original desire for eternal, unchanging love with her family; the snakes aggregate under a central "Combining Eyes" ability, evolving the wish into a self-propagating curse that grants one ability per survivor.[41] The abilities are diverse, each tied to the emotional trauma or aspiration that activates them during the escape from the Daze. Key types include:- Opening Eyes (目が覚める, Me ga Sameru): Enables rewinding time by up to one day to alter events, often used to revisit and change fatal moments; possessed by Shintaro Kisaragi and Ene.[42]
- Stealing Eyes (目を盗む, Me wo Nusumu): Allows stealing the senses (particularly sight) of others through eye contact, enabling temporary possession or control; possessed by Shuuya Kano.[43]
- Deceiving Eyes (目を欺く, Me wo Azamuku): Alters the user's appearance or creates disguises to deceive others' perceptions; possessed by Shuuya Kano.[44]
- Locking Eyes (目を合わせる, Me wo Awaseru): Draws people or animals toward the user, forming binding connections through gaze; possessed by Kousuke Seto.[45]
- Focusing Eyes (目を凝らす, Me wo Korasu): Provides clairvoyance to perceive distant locations, objects, or events from an aerial perspective; possessed by Shintaro Amamiya.[46]
- Combining Eyes (目を合体させる, Me wo Gattai Saseru): Merges consciousnesses or shares memories and sensations among individuals; originated with Azami, passed to Mary Kozakura.[47]
- Drawing Eyes (目を奪う, Me wo Ubau): Captures and redirects attention to the user, making them the focus of others' gazes; possessed by Momo Kisaragi.[48]
- Retaining Eyes (目に焼き付ける, Me ni Yakitsukeru): Grants perfect photographic memory and retention of all observed details; possessed by Shintaro Kisaragi (secondary).[49]
- Favoring Eyes (目をかける, Me wo Kakeru): Projects thoughts, emotions, or messages telepathically to others via eye contact; possessed by Ayano Tateyama.[50]
- Clearing Eyes (目が冴える, Me ga Saeru): Provides immunity to other Eye abilities and grants vast knowledge or sentience manipulation; possessed by Kenjirou Tateyama.[51]
- Awakening Eyes (目を醒ます, Me wo Samasu): Alters the user's physical form or awakens latent traits; possessed by Konoha Asahina.[52]
- Concealing Eyes (目を隠す, Me wo Kakusu): Erases the presence or visibility of the user, objects, or people within a short range; possessed by Tsubomi Kido.[53]
Psychological motifs
The Kagerou Project prominently features themes of isolation, particularly drawing from Japanese hikikomori culture, where individuals withdraw from society into seclusion. The protagonist Shintaro Kisaragi embodies this motif through his two-year confinement as an unemployed shut-in, relying solely on his computer for interaction and avoiding the outside world due to overwhelming social anxiety.[55][56] His arc transitions from this reclusive state to gradual reconnection with others, mirroring broader issues among Japanese youth facing employment pressures and social disconnection.[56] Trauma and loss permeate the narrative as central psychological drivers, with characters confronting grief through recurring deaths and the inescapable cycle of the Kagerou Daze. These events, triggered annually on August 15—a date tied to a catastrophic incident involving fatalities—symbolize the repetitive processing of unresolved sorrow and the struggle to break free from painful memories.[55][57] The motif underscores how personal tragedies manifest as supernatural elements, forcing individuals to relive loss until emotional catharsis is achieved. The tension between friendship and deception highlights the fragility of trust in relationships marred by hidden truths and manipulations. Characters navigate building bonds amid pervasive lies, such as those enabled by abilities that distort reality, critiquing the anonymity of online interactions where facades obscure genuine connections.[56] This dynamic reflects broader concerns about authenticity in digital-age friendships, where deception erodes communal support yet ultimately fosters deeper empathy through revelation. Existential loops serve as a metaphor for the monotonous struggles of daily life, trapping individuals in patterns of regret and repetition until collective empathy provides resolution. The narrative's time-rewinding mechanism illustrates how personal isolation amplifies these cycles, only to be disrupted by shared understanding among the group.[57] Subtle critiques of modern societal pressures further enrich the psychological landscape, portraying internet addiction as a catalyst for withdrawal, as seen in Shintaro's dependency on virtual companionship.[56] Similarly, the idol industry's relentless demands exacerbate emotional strain, while family dysfunction ignites the emergence of extraordinary powers, linking interpersonal breakdowns to profound mental turmoil. These elements collectively emphasize redemption through vulnerability and mutual reliance.Media
Music releases
The Kagerou Project originated as a series of Vocaloid songs composed and produced by Jin (under the alias Shizen no Teki-P), initially uploaded to the Niconico video-sharing platform starting in 2011. These tracks, featuring software vocals like Hatsune Miku and later IA, blend rock and electronic elements with intricate, narrative-driven lyrics that interconnect to form the project's overarching story. The songs quickly amassed millions of views online, with "Kagerou Daze" alone surpassing 6 million on Niconico shortly after its September 30, 2011, upload, propelling the series from niche Vocaloid content to widespread acclaim. This viral success led to physical releases under Sony Music, transitioning from digital uploads to commercial albums. The foundational songs released between 2011 and 2013 include "Jinzou Enemy" (February 17, 2011, feat. Hatsune Miku), "Kagerou Daze" (September 30, 2011, feat. Hatsune Miku), "Headphone Actor" (December 3, 2011, feat. IA), "Kuusou Forest" (January 14, 2012, feat. Hatsune Miku), "Konoha no Sekai Jijou" (February 18, 2012, feat. IA), "Kisaragi Attention!" (April 7, 2012, feat. Hatsune Miku), "Gunjou Rain" (May 12, 2012, feat. Hatsune Miku), "Ochi Mono Note" (June 16, 2012, feat. IA), "Otsukimi Recital" (July 21, 2012, feat. IA), and "Summertime Record" (August 15, 2012, feat. Hatsune Miku). These core tracks, often accompanied by fan-animated music videos, established the project's musical identity and were later re-recorded with human vocalists such as LiSA and IA for broader appeal. Physical albums began with the doujin release Mekakucity Actors on February 5, 2012, a self-published compilation of early songs featuring IA and Hatsune Miku vocals. Jin's major-label debut followed with Mekakucity Days on May 30, 2012, via Sony Music's IA Project imprint, which remastered and expanded the initial tracks into a cohesive 13-song collection. Subsequent releases included the drama CD Mekakucity Escape (August 15, 2012), integrating spoken-word elements with music, and the compilation Kagerou Project Complete Compilation (March 29, 2013). Further albums built on this foundation: Mekakucity Records (March 12, 2014), featuring new tracks and covers by artists like Wowaka; and Mekakucity Reload (November 7, 2018), a remastered collection marking the project's musical culmination. Remastered editions and singles, such as "daze/days" (June 18, 2014), continued through 2016, often tying into anime adaptations with orchestral arrangements. No major new albums have been released since 2018, though anniversary remixes and fan-event performances have sustained the music's legacy.| Album Title | Release Date | Label | Key Tracks | Vocals |
