History Fridge / Vocaloid

* Rin and Len's most common fanon portrayal, with Rin being more emotional and impulsive and Len being more rational and composed, makes sense when you think of their motif; Rin and Len are typically seen as two halves of a whole, with ''Ri''n being the ''ri''ght half and ''Le''n being the ''le''ft. The right side of the brain is typically associated with emotion while the left side is associated with logic.

** This song is part of series depicting the Seven Deadly Sins, with this one being Envy. The difference between envy and jealousy is that envy is wanting what you don't have (i.e. I'm envious of your cool skateboard), while jealousy is someone else getting something you feel you should get (i.e. I'm jealous of the attention my boyfriend goves other girls). Knowing that, you might think that the song better describes jealousy than envy... [[spoiler: Until you learn that he wasn't her husband, thus making her envious of the women who had him, as oppossed to jealous for the attention he's giving them.]]

* Fukase's design is that of a young boy with [[ScarsAreForever severe burns/scarring on the left side of his face]] that appear to have [[EyeScream caused some damage to his eye]]. [[AdultFear Just what on Earth happened there?]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn4fAx2JqT4 Sleepyhead,]] Steampianist's most upbeat and happy song, at first seems like it's about a girl sleeping in too late on her seventh birthday, but as the song goes on, the vocals occasionally glitch up or hit a note off key, and ''then'' Oliver sings the line "Do you want to be ASLEEP FOREVER?!". It's pretty apparent now that the song is actually about a girl who ''fell into a coma'' on said birthday. Piecing together the lyrics reveals that the family also refused to believe she was dead, even saving cake for her and leaving her plush bunny in her room to comfort her. It's also shown in the PV that she dies just before the last chorus, as what may initially look like a pile of gifts to the untrained eye is actually a funeral shrine.

* In ''Kagome, Kagome (Circle You, Circle You)'', poor Ruko can be seen getting [[{{Hermaphrodite}} their]] [[OffWithHisHead head cut off]] by the scientists in charge of the [[ImmortalityImmorality immortality project]]. After the deed is done, you can see their head far away from his body and crying. AKA, ''still'' crying. ''[[AndIMustScream Their head is still alive!]]''

* Why does the Observer in "Diary of Underage Observation" know to immediately run to the implied singer of My R when the girl has been showing up frequently on the roof? 'She was on the other side of the railing.'

* With ''My R'' the reason that the girl can't talk herself out of it ultimately is that all her counters were never actually counters. Her counter to losing her crush is - "You're lucky that you haven't gotten robbed of anything." - The 'next' girl complains of being robbed and is countered that "You are loved at home". And the thing is that "home" is the problem. Hence why losing the crush kick-started everything - he was the counter to the implied abusive home.

* Something seems to wrong with the singer (Miku) from XxX Cat from Kikuo. She kicks pebbles every day and wears holes through the front of shoes. Her back and neck are also bent, similarly to that of cat. She also says by the end of the song that the painful and pleasurable things in life can't be seen, heard, spoken of, or smelled. [[spoiler: Given how the chorus sings about [[BodyHorror the crushing of various body parts, including the eyes, nose, ears, nails, shoulders, kneecaps, elbows, shins, and the "soft insides of its head,"]] the singer may be the one being crushed bit by bit. The singer, if true, likely has permanent brain damage from having "soft parts" of her head crushed addition to being horribly disfigured. The singer likely can't help but kick pebbles on the ground (as she can barely walk and drags her feet); is physically incapable of straightening up; has lost her senses of sight, sound, and smell; and can no longer speak by the end of the song. Also, the singer wanting to forget about the incident may be her try to repress the mental trauma of what happened. The detail that, at some point, the singer heard laughter, indicates that, whatever happened wasn't an accident.]]

** Actually, it was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gfG2zPNL_c originally Miku's version]] after all.
** That version is even sadder when at least one translation has her ''begging'' to be saved. The poor girl is dying, she knows it, and all she can do is carry out her program and plead with her creator ("master") to help her.
* More a case of Fridge {{Squick}}: ''Duke Venomania's Madness'' shows a list of women who have disappeared into Gackpo's mansion to join his harem. One name on the list is Josephine - which happens to be the name of Rin's horse in ''Daughter of Evil.''
** Well, Music/{{mothy}} has confirmed that ''Venomania'' takes place centuries before ''Daughter of Evil'', so it's most likely a MythologyGag.
* There is another name on the list - "Yukina Kaina". Sounds like Yuki Kaai ''who is only ten years old''. That poor girl...
** Have you noticed that her age is listed as a ''censored, single digit''?

** Speaking of "A Clingy Boy"... Toward the end of the song, there is a line saying that [[spoiler:the boy thought he would see his beloved soon, but that she disappeared again]]. Combine that with his behaviour during years 1-6 - he keeps hurting himself in various ways, even saying that all his bones were broken, and doesn't care that his house is burning, only surviving through sheer luck. Was he repeatedly trying to commit suicide [[spoiler:because he couldn't get over her death]]?

* In ''*Hello, Planet.'', how does Miku's master [[spoiler:have a coffin already built for himself]] if he's the last human on Earth, not to mention the fact his body is [[spoiler:locked up tight in the coffin before Miku arrives?]] Did he just happen to find an [[spoiler:empty coffin prior to his death, and laid down in it? [[FridgeHorror Would that mean he]] ''[[FridgeHorror knew]]'' [[FridgeHorror he was about to die?]]]]

* In "Akane-chan who will listen to anything you say", late into the song Akane drops the [[YesMan yes-woman]] act and basically calls Yukari stupid for being a SoreLoser and advises her to quit playing. She still ''is'' listening to whatever Yukari says. [[ExactWords The title never said she would care or be supportive of her.]]

* In "Akane-chan who will listen to anything you say", late into the song Akane drops the [[YesMan yes-woman]] act and basically calls Yukari stupid for being a SoreLoser and advises her to quit playing.

** Ah, but she's most likely here to [[spoiler:''prevent'' all music from being lost]]...

* The Hachi-P song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8RDiHUypo8 Lynne]] contains many allusions to rebirth (ex., the cicada's cries, continuously circling around the same track). Listening to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmQOshp1LGc the music box version]] clarifies between each group of stanzas, there is a set of tones in the background that loops four times each time it changes. Why? Because [[{{Four is Death}} Four is Death.]]
* Just an interesting tidbit I realized, but in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8L75guzMn4 The Tailor Shop on Enbizaka]], the tailor [[spoiler: kills people with her scissors]]. This is similar to the Greek Fates, who would [[spoiler:cut people's life thread with their scissors]].
** Same troper, with another realization about the same song. This song is part of series depicting the Seven Deadly Sins, with this one being Envy. The difference between envy and jealousy is that envy is wanting what you don't have (i.e. I'm envious of your cool skateboard), while jealousy is someone else getting something you feel you should get (i.e. I'm jealous of the attention my boyfriend goves other girls).

* This probably sounds silly, but I used to wonder what the "infinity" sign in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQih8wmIn_M‎ Bad End Night]] means. Then, watching the sequels, and discovering that the story is presented as some sort of GroundhogDayLoop, I realized that the infinity symbol is to signify the endless loops that have continued indefinitely.

* [[{{Vocaloid}} Vocaloid Kaito]] invokes one of these with his (well, Kettaro's) version of the song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTOngDS0dRI&feature=related Hatsune Miku no Soushitsu]]. Initially, it sounds just like a strange techno-pop Kaito song with static in. But then you watch the video... wait. Why is Kaito suddenly screaming in agony in the middle of the verse? Why did the screen suddenly go grayscale, with bursts of static intruding on the image? How come the lyrics went out of sync with his mouth? Why are his movements getting weaker, like it's difficult to stand? Why is he collapsing to his knees, clutching his head, but still wearing that serene smile and singing the peppy techno song? Well, that's an easy one: his file is being corrupted, ''hard''. In the middle of a song - and Kaito knows it. But he's a computer program designed to sing and dance, not show emotion. So despite the fact that he's managed to break through earlier, in order to scream, well... he's got a program to run. Face stuck in a static smile, being eaten apart by a virus, Kaito sings his song.

* I found another name on the list - "Yukina Kaina". Sounds like Yuki Kaai ''who is only ten years old''. That poor girl...

* In ''Kagome, Kagome (Circle You, Circle You)'', poor Ruko can be seen getting [[{{Hermaphrodite}} his]] [[OffWithHisHead head cut off]] by the scientists in charge of the [[ImmortalityImmorality immortality project]]. After the deed is done, you can see his head far away from his body and crying. AKA, ''still'' crying. ''[[AndIMustScream His head is still alive!]]''

* VY2's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82LVCMyjoB0 "Via Stingrays, My Proposal Bends Iron"]] has an example in the PV; the girl Yuuma's proposing to looks familiar, doesn't she? She's the same girl from [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdSUMFi5FYE "A Clingy Boy Sticking for 15 Years"]]. [[spoiler:''[[TearJerker She's going to die]]'']].

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsjTBdiPq8o Dark Woods Circus]] [[HumansAreBastards the fact that people who ran such a Circus would do this in]] RealLife [[NightmareFuel just makes you both sick to your stomach]] [[TearJerker and in tears]].
