Kagerou Project - Tumblr Posts
Okay okay
I know this page is dead but the new Children Record MV came out today and I want to talk about it
Apologies for any spelling errors
CW Warning though if your reading this you probably know what you’re getting into
First thing I want to talk about is the replacement of IA with Miku, or at least that what it sounds like. I know that Jin switched record companies but this use is Miku makes this new era feel so, real. This is a re:boot. It’s a new age for the story, and the characters within. And just like with the first Children Record, this is its anthem. And I expect more changes with the songs and the stories they originally told as well.
The story is made to be interpreted, and I believe that there are two different stories on the same coin.
Okay now I want to talk about this
The Stay and Go
Most likey speaking of Shintaro’s suicide. Deleting ENE leads to his death. Does he choose to stay and fight with the Dan or go, escape, run away.
Shintaro’s story is one of escapism. One of wanting to get out of their own head, escape the world and run away and hide.
It’s only when he can face his fears head on that the story can progress and an ending can be made.
The video uses different landscapes and videos that project realism, going as far as actual footage of cities and buildings.
Kagerou Project is about characters and relationships. Characters meant to feel real. Strip away the eyes and they are people just like you and me. They aren’t meant to be idealized, they are supposed to be flawed. Supposed to make mistakes, do horrible things or do great things because they’re people.
They live in a world just like us and just want to survive just like us.
A commonly mentioned part of the lore of the story is that these people were drawn together. Because of Marry’s decision, from birth these children were fated to come together, meet, and die.
We don’t really see them as kids that much. With the exception of the original Mekakushi Dan and Momo and Shintaro in some routes. Other than that, we are simply told what they were like as kids, or not told at all.
That’s why I find this imagery so fascinating. Before they knew one another. Before some had their powers, others unaware that anything was wrong after their deaths, they were still all called together. They can’t escape their friendship, they always will be the Mekadan, whether they choose it or not.
It’s the Children Record
A story of kids young and old who just want to feel normal again.
“Boys and girls, face forward! Hope we can be found even in this wavering heat.”
There’s more I want to talk about
Like how the use of Manga Searu gives clearing eyes a true face in the story instead of just associating him with Konoha, clearing eyes is the personification of not wanting to let go, let him be seen as that.
Or about the use of the different time lines being tied together, with references to other MV’s, manga, and novels
But this is getting long I can’t type and there’s a lot of things I want to say but don’t know how to say them so
Expect a sequel. But for now
This was amazing
I know he meant it as in “hot.”- August 15th stuff
But I still want that printed in a tee shirt
Oh heck man
I was hoping for some Luka but man I do love me some V Flower
Man I am so excited for this, hearing new voices with these already loved songs. What a time to be alive :)
Why are all my favorite het ships childhood friends (ish) to lovers?
Is my type that distinct?
How harutaka happened 100% canon Jin told me so
— —
Takane: man Haruka is cute but we just got out of a traumatic event I don’t want to burden him with my feelings especially since he is going through so many mental changes at the moment
Haruka: takane!! Look Ayano taught me how to make a crane! It’s super cool so I named it ENE cause ENE is super cool!
Takane: oh my god that is so adorable I love you
Haruka: . . .
Takane: . . Oh shi-
Momo Kisaragi is the Bo Burnham of the kagerou project universe
They are the same person
That is all
Rui Shintaro is so
So cursed
And yet somehow still iconic
Children Record
P-
Pretty people
Happy august 15th! I hope those native to Japan are having a lovely obon despite the pandemic, and I hope us fans of the project are able to enjoy the day to its fullest!! Jin’s song was
Really good haha. I wonder if it had to do with the potential second generation 🤔
Oh well! We’ll learn in due time! As for mow
Let’s haze!
Hello Tumblr
Ruinene is Setomarry with sarcasm
Goodbye Tumblr
Hmmm
HmmmMmm
HmmmMmmMmm
always happy to see more purosekai x kagepro and ur right on all of them except personally i think tsukasa should have ayano's theory of happiness as he uses his narcissism and fake confidence to show He's Okay no need to worry (mini comic where he goes inti the hospital to cheer up saki, every single interaction with touya). i dont mean this in a hateful way op! i, again, just love seeing kagepro x purosekai and i thought i'd share my tsukasa brainrot, but yeah i can see where you're coming from by having 25-ji sing it. Also i think all the bands should do lost time memory. banger of a song.
Aaaaa omg omg omg someone wants to take about kagepro x proseka, this makes me so happy JWJEJE
Anyways, I totally see where you are coming from! My original post was, I checked, January 10th, so all of that was just based on what I knew about the characters then, if I were to redo it there would probably be a tone of differences! You weren’t hateful or rude at all I promise! You were actually super nice and it makes me so happy when people ask me stuff about whatever weird things I post here 😭
I love Tsukasa so much and he and Saki’s relationship always makes me so soft. The way he just wants to take care and keep her safe and happy, yes it just screams Ayano. I don’t know how likely a cover would be because Ayano’s theory of happiness doesn’t really admit the clown town energy, but man Daisuke Hirose could pull it off so well
Also I agree, losstime memory is such a banger, I love that song. (Also I keep thinking about the Parallels with Shintaro and Kanade and mmmMmMm)
More kagepro in project sekai when?
Ene skin for Miku WHEN?
I am just holding out for the idea that this will become an annual thing so we get more chances for more songs! Thank you so much for this ask, it made me really happy to answer :)
Anyone know where I can get official Kagerou Project merchandise?
I’m just looking for a place where they can ship overseas! I live in the US so I recognize that as something working on my behalf!
Everywhere I looked that I know ships overseas has either very limited products, everything is sold out, or it just looks really untrustworthy with reviews of people starting they didn’t get their products.
Thank you in advance!!
Someone get this calendar and tell me what it says for ENE
She deserves a birthday
Ok I’m going to try and answer what I can as a resident lore appreciator. Also I’m not answering these in order lol.
ALSO! BIG SPOILER WARNING!!
Some things simply cannot be answered because we will never know. Seto doesn’t like to read minds so we will never know what would happen if he read awakenings because he simply would not do it. And if he did, I’m sure it would probably be something as simple as “I want some nigma”. Konoha may be a husk, but he is still capable of thought. The best way I can describe him is, bare with me, he’s like frosty the snow man. Just suddenly coming to life with no idea how the world works and only basic knowledge of how to stay alive told to him by Kenjirou. Konoha is capable of thought because he is capable of making “I want” statements. Yes the “I want to be with friends” is just left over of Haruka, but other statements like about his favorite food or other things he enjoys mean he is capable of having his own thoughts. So I feel like Seto would read his mind like he would read anyone else’s, and get the same results, but we don’t know because he would never do it. Sorry I rambled and realized I read your question wrong but I mean, yeah I don’t think Konoha would notice.
The manga is implied to be the very first timeline, because it is not only the creation of Yaki but also it is so vastly different from the other ones. The results of that timeline is what caused the changes in everyone else’s. Even if they don’t remember, Seto *knows* not to take Marry home. Haruka *knows* he is able to do to school. Momo *knows* to join the Dan. That is the only timeline Shintaro doesn’t explicitly remember but that doesn’t mean he isn’t effected by it. Every timeline leaves an impact on the Dan, even if they don’t realize it.
I feel like if Azami knew about the loops she would have brought it up to Kido in the daze in the novels so we can assume she is unaware. She didn’t create retaining eyes, remember? She doesn’t have any control over the powers Marry creates and therefore doesn’t have those powers. Saeru is a snake himself and to be honest, I don’t know how he knows and Konoha doesn’t because Konoha is also a pure snake. I guess it’s because he’s self aware?
That’s what happens in every route. In the end of the novels it shows that everyone is still there in the daze. It’s also what happens to Haruka and Ayano, everyone is just simply in the daze. Now if you meant they die before they get their snake, I guess that means the snake will go to another person.
Next paragraph is irrelevant because snakes don’t die with their masters because the masters never fully die, they just return to the daze until the reset.
Also we can never know the answer to the last one but I don’t think he would have the power to make himself exist in the first place, he is still a servant to the Medusa, so she would have to do that.
Hope this helped!!! The snakes are so fascinating!
I've questions!! :'>
If you've ever seen my amino, you'll know what's the smiley face for--
Ahem, so!
The snakes' existence is always based on a wish, right? And if a wish is accomplished the snake dies, right? But what if a person - the "owner" of a snake - dies first, what happens? Does the snake die with them or does it go back into the daze?
Now, let's assume snakes die with their "master", here are some other questions: if Shintaro died in the second manga route and resetting timeline caused Yaki to appear again in the next timeline, does it mean that we don't have a full record of all the timelines that happened before their death? Like, do the memories of previous timelines erase or..?
Does it mean that the only two people knowing about all the timelines are Saeru and Azami? (Wait.. does Azami remember all the routes or no-)
I can't remember what the second question was so here's an another one: if Saeru (or basically any other snake) is killed in some way and then Marry resets the timeline, does Saeru become alive again?
And also, let's say we have Seto and Konoha (or Saeru, idk, they're the only "snake people" i know really :^). If Seto tries to read Konoha/Saeru's mind what happens? Does the latter know about it somehow, do they feel that someone's trying to read their mind with the Stealing eyes or does it go unnoticed?
Oof.. i hope it's readable :'>
Aaa, also! If Saeru finds a "master" who's wish would be simlpy for him to exist.. like.. y'know, just a wish for the Clearing eyes not to disappear what happens then? Like,, Saeru gets to live as long as that person lives? (If that wish never changes, of course) Does Saru "take care" of that person in order for them to live longer, like, so that he gets to live longer? :^^
Not to be rude but, she was a child. When you’re a child things are seen as black and white. She was to young and was suddenly given the memories of hundreds of years of pain and suffering from a women she didn’t even know. In her eyes, this was the only way. She didn’t have the capability to negotiate or find another way around it because she didn’t know how, she was young. Not to mention she just lost her parents. I repeat, she just saw her parents, her own mom and dad DIE, or course she’s not going to think straight.
TLDR: cut manga Ayano some slack she was a kid with trauma, as is everyone else in the project. No one’s a good person, they’re all just human.
Vote Kagepro characters!!!! 2022 is our year!
i am going to hell
Day 15 of the August Wheel! Today is Shuuya Kano from Kagerou Project/Mekakucity Actors! 💙 (Happy Kagerou day!)
