A story of truly extraordinary girls and boys.
"I'm sure I will never forget tomorrow."
Overview
Kagerou Project (カゲロウプロジェクト, Kagerō Purojekuto, lit. "Heat Haze Project") is the collective name for a series of songs by Vocaloid artist Jin as well as other mixed media works.
The main setting of the story is in Jin's hometown, Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture (according to the Konoha no Sekai Jijou promotional video).
Amongst Jin's music, there are a number of songs that share the same setting and have connected stories. This series all fall under the title Kagerou Project.
The first of these songs was uploaded to Nico Nico Douga in 2011, and in May 2012, the first full album, Mekakucity Days, was released, complete with a DVD second disc.
On August 15, 2012, the first single, Children Record, was released.
On May 29, 2013, the second full album/DVD, Mekakucity Records, was released.
Also, in a series of novels entitled Kagerou Daze written by Jin himself, the story that connects these songs becomes clear.
Additionally, a manga version (also called Kagerou Daze) is currently running in Monthly Comic Jean.
You can read the first chapter of the manga on pixiv Comic.
Finally, on March 27, 2013, the official Kagerou Project homepage was redesigned, with footage from Ayano no Koufuku Riron, Lost Time Memory, and Yobanashi Deceive playing in the background of the top page.
An anime project has been announced under the title Mekakucity Actors, the same title as Jin's indie album.
