Trivia / Kagerou Project

Go To

  • Breakthrough Hit: "Kagerou Daze", the third song in the series.
  • Cult Classic: Despite enjoying great popularity in Japan, between the fact that Vocaloid is a much more niche fandom in the west, as well as the anime's mixed-to-negative reception, the franchise hasn't quite found its footing in western circles. Some pockets of the internet do contain dedicated fans, however.
  • Promoted Fangirl: Wannyanpuu was officially recruited as a member of the project after she uploaded her exceptionally done PV for "Heat Haze Daze".
  • Sequel Gap: "Never Lost Word", which provides some closure for Kido's character, was released over four years after the previous song, "Summertime Record", which is the largest time gap between songs in the whole series. And in general, the Mekakucity Reload album has the same gap to Records.
  • Vapor Ware: A spin-off movie titled Kagerou Daze No. 9 was announced for January 15, 2020. It was then delayed for unknown reasons, with no other release date announced. Part of the reason was eventually revealed to be an ongoing battle with 1ST PLACE and Jin over the rights to the franchise, of which the former has.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • Jin stated in an early interview regarding Hibiya's background (before he was properly introduced in the novels) that he would be Childhood Friends with Hiyori. He also mentioned that Hibiya's quite popular in school, his only downfall being that he can't get Hiyori to notice his feelings for her. By the time he's properly introduced in the novels, however, with the exception of his unrequited crush on Hiyori, his background is completely rewritten.
    • Konoha, and Haruka by extension, were originally supposed to be girls.
