"We open the Book of Magic and go together, into the many different stories."
Book of Magic is a project created by the Japanese former Vocaloid producer Machigerita. The story revolves around the titular "Book of Magic" which lets the reader explore its worlds.
The Project started off as a musical series in March 2016 with the song "Book of Magic" and the second song "Fairy Tale" was released in May of the same year before the project was put on hold for a few months. During October, a Gallery exhibition was held for "A Certain Man's Lifetime" that photographer Keisuke Hasegawa collaborated on, thereby expanding the project into new media. The exhibition focused on the literary master Agate Chirimu, who Machigerita portrayed
