#kagepro: covers

[dittydipity]

what is kagepro? - a quick guide

you may be seeing the word "kagepro" around a whole bunch, especially during august, but what the hell is it?

you may have heard or seen something from kagepro without realizing it! you know that vocaloid song, kagerou daze, about the kids who get hit by a truck and are stuck in a timeloop of saving each other? that's actually one of the songs from kagepro.

kagepro, short for the kagerou project, is a series created by vocaloid composer jin (also known as shizen no teki-p). it's a mixed media series that has music, manga, an anime, movie, a radio talk show, books, etc but i’ll try to keep it simple!

basic premise: people who die on 8/15 are taken to another world called the kagerou daze and if they return to the real world, they will have gained a “snake ability” that will turn their eyes red when used. a group of teens that have these abilities form a little gang but are thrown into an endless timeloop.

THE MEDIA

if you want to get into it, there’s a bunch of different ways you can do it, but do keep in mind: each form of media is NOT just a different adaptation of the story.

kagepro is a timeloop story, and each form of media is actually a different timeline (or “route”). the music videos, the anime, the manga, the books - each one is only a piece of the whole story. that’s why many people may have seen the anime, mekakucity actors, and gotten super confused because the anime is actually one of the last routes haha.

but the order of media that has been generally agreed upon to be the most coherent is music videos -> manga -> light novels -> anime

a lot of kagepro media, esp the light novels and manga, are hard to find since they’re almost entirely out of print, but there’s translations or e-book versions of them available, or if you skip them there’s summaries that people have made. you can also ask me if you want :]

music videos

i’ve actually made a couple playlists for the songs! one is in release order and the other is in story chronological order (mostly).

release order: - i tried to get all the original ia/miku versions of the songs with the original pv if there was one - a couple might be a little out of order since some songs came out together in the same album

this is the order that fans got the music, so if you want to try to figure things out and put things together the way we did you can go with this order!

chronological order: - tried to grab some english covers where i could, but if you don’t like eng covers there are plenty of noneng covers or you can use the videos from the other playlist. there's plenty of really great covers out there! - exceptions to the “chronological”: children record acts as the cover/opening song for the series and summertime record is the ending song for the series - some songs aren’t in here bc they’re not part of the music route (they’re mostly from the newer albums and are kinda like ‘epilogue’ songs after the ending of the anime/good ending or are songs made for the anime)

THE STORY

if you don't want to go through all the media yourself, here’s a video explaining the whole story by breadbox/david toth! he also has other really great kagepro videos

[a bit of an extra] a very common misconception about the story/mechanics: people do not have to die in pairs or with somebody else on 8/15 to enter the daze. i didn’t realize this myself until super recently

all in all, the kagerou project is a story about finding strength and support from the people around you, moving on to look towards the future, and overcoming trauma.

there’s definitely other people who have also made guides or summaries or videos that are much better and cover much more than i did, but i hope this was a decent introduction!

feel free to reach out and/or ask me anything! i'm sure there are also plenty of people who would be willing to help newcomers understand kagepro as well :]

happy kagerou day!

#feel free to add on or correct me if i got anything wrong! #i did try to keep this more to being about how to get into kagepro so i didnt cover the story as much #kagerou project #kagepro #mekakucity actors #.d #* #Youtube

Dead and Seek | English cover | Original animation

I made the animation and lyrics, but Jay D Double Dubs did the vocals and made alt lyrics. Feedback is appreciated! Also please consider dropping by his video and showing love to him too, he's so nice!

Being a non-practicing Kagepro follower, but accidentally performing for it by going out for the first time in weeks to buy water

#An idiot Star takes to the stage! #kagepro #literally as soon as I went out the sun started blazing orz #my forehead's covered in sweat and when I entered the shop I let out a sigh of relief cause A.C.

Ayano no Koufuku Riron cover+MV by Ushine (previously known as Moriyama Hiyori). Related art.

Some of Ushine’s other deleted works (RB×2, WsNnOn×2). She also made one of the rare Tomodachi no Uta covers… but, unfortunately, I didn’t save it.

Does the Kagepro fandom know about Kogeinu’s Yobanashi Deceive cover?

In which he sounds pretty much EXACTLY like Kano?

#the dialogue at the beginning and ending of the song is so cool #i love this cover sm #the cover has been around for a while so I have a feeling a lot of us know about it #but it would also be really cool if people discovered it for the first time #feel free to mention your favorite kagepro covers especially ones that sound like the characters #I’d love to hear them #i like Yumeko’s cover of Ayano’s Theory of Happiness a lot #it makes me cry #my post #kagerou project #kagepro #yobanashi deceive #kano shuuya #Youtube

i made a shorter but still complete kagepro playlist! because i added a lot of extra stuff to the other one and it might have been overwhelming. it has all the main songs and videos, just without the official covers, anime songs, and some Reload songs. it includes songs without official PVs as well. enjoy

#kagepro #kagerou project #my post #i still recommend the covers they’re so good #like blindfold code has never been a fave of mine but the cover makes it 100% better
