As promised, this is the videos. Daughter of Evil series~

‘Daughter of Evil’ tells the story of an evil princess, represented by Rin, who rules over a ‘black/yellow kingdom’ with every luxury she could wish for at the expense of her people. The story chronicles how the Daughter of Evil falls in love with a man from a “blue kingdom” (Kaito), but he already has a lover from a “green land” (Miku Hatsune). In a jealous rage, the Daughter of Evil orders the “green land” destroyed. While the “green land” burns, the Daughter of Evil announces, “Oh my, it’s time for a snack”. Later, a woman with red armor (Meiko) storms the Daughter of Evil’s kingdom. Together with the angry people from all over the land, she seizes the Daughter of Evil, who is then sentenced to death at the guillotine. Before she is beheaded, however, the Daughter of Evil once more says her usual line: “Oh my, it’s time for a snack”, which may have been Len, who switched with her right before being captured.

RIN, MEIKO, AND KAITO ISN’T SUPPOSED TO BE SMILING LIKE OLD FRIENDS! SO IGNORE THAT!

‘Servant of Evil’ is a parallel story to the ‘Daughter of Evil’, and tells the events of the song through the eyes of the Daughter of Evil’s servant. Although he is actually her mirror image (Len), the song portrays him as her twin brother who later became her servant. Although the Daughter of Evil is cruel and cold, her servant only sees her soft and innocent side, and serves her devotedly. However, when visiting a ‘land of green’, Len happens to fall in love with a woman he sees there (Miku Hatsune). When the Daughter of Evil, in her jealousy, orders Len to have her killed, though, Len obeys without hesitation. Later, the woman’s lover (Kaito, a man from a ‘blue kingdom’) and an uprising army (led by Meiko, a red knight) attack the palace intent on taking the Daughter of Evil’s life. Her servant comes up with a plan to save her: they will trade clothes and switch places. Since they are twins, no one will be able to tell the difference. Sure enough, the army is fooled, and the servant disguised as the queen is beheaded before a crowd, including the grieving queen. However, the servant tells us through the song, he has no regrets and is glad that he could serve his beloved sister until the end.

The third song in the “Daughter of Evil” series, ‘Regret Message’, also known as ‘Message of Regret’, tells of the Daughter of Evil’s feelings directly after ‘Servant of Evil’. She realizes that it had been her own selfishness that had killed Len. She goes to the beach and sees messages in bottles. This sight brings back a past memory when she and Len had thrown bottles with messages inside into the ocean when they were very young, because of the legend that if you wrote your wish on a piece of paper, bottled it, and let it float out to sea, it would become true. Rin then makes another wish: “If we could be reborn, I want to be with you again”, which was apparently also Len’s wish before he died.

The last song in the “Daughter of Evil” series, Re_birthday tells what happened to Len after he was beheaded. He is alone in a dark room not being able to see, then he hears a voice and starts to remember the evil that he has done. Then his arms are in red handcuffs (representing the bloodshed/Meiko) and his ankles are in blue chains (representing the tears shed/Kaito). Suddenly Len hears a melody coming from someone’s voice, he is forgiven by everyone affected by his actions in the past and is given a new birthday and is reborn because of Rin’s melody from ‘Regret Message’.

So? How is it?

The one I like is Servant of Evil. It made me cry everytime I watched it. Here’s the English lyrics (to be more specific):

You are my lady
I am your servant.
Destiny divided pitiful twins.
If it’s to protect you, I’ll become evil for you.

Expectations were expected of the two of us since we were born.
The bell of church blessed us.
For selfish adults’ reasons,
our future was ripped in two.

Even if all of the world
becomes your enemy,
I will protect you.
So just be there smiling and laughing.

You are my lady.
I am your servant.
Destiny divided pitiful twins.
If it’s to protect you, I’ll become evil for you.

When I visited the neighboring country.
I happened to see a green girl walking in the city
With her kind voice and smiling face
I fell in love at first sight.
But if the princess wishes to that girl die.
I will answer that.
I wonder why my tears won’t stop…

You are my lady.
I am your servant.
Destiny divided lovely twins.
“Today’s snack is brioche”
You laugh , a laugh that was ever so innocent.

Before long, the angry townspeople
will probably overthrow us.
Even if we so rightly deserve this,
Despite that, I will still defy them
“Here, I will lend you my clothes.”
“Wear this and escape immediately.”
“It’ll be alright, we are twins , no one will notice.”

I am a lady
You are a fugitive.
Destiny divided sad twins.
If you are proclaimed as evil,
then I also have the same evil blood running through these veins.

A long time ago, in a certain place
Evil people lived in a kingdom,
and there ruling over all at the throne
was my very cute sibling.

Even if all of the world
becomes your enemy,
I will protect you.
You just be somewhere laughing and smiling

You are my lady.
I am your servant.
Destiny divided pitiful twins.
If it’s to protect you, I’ll become evil for you.

If I could be reborn
At that time, I’d like to play with you again.
