FINALLY someone talked about the originally twin concept, I always see theses videos and they always talks about the mirror/genderbend concept, which is technically wrong to just tell this part. They were originally twins, but then they changed to a free concept for the producers to decide what to do (of course, for the money and explore the creativity), so they came with this mirror/genderbend concept as an excuse, finally someone explained it

In 2:03 I don't think they purposely ignored Rin, the start was vague (you don't know which song they will perform) and the impact of Len's entrance (coming out from Rin's side in time for the first lyrics), the visual and sounds wonderfully clicks so it's an amazing moment.

[@Azyne]

The Servant of Evil and Daughter of Evil storyline is my favourite from what I've seen

[@Sakachi18]

Len is the best Vocaloid ever. At least to me anyway. I love Meiko, Kaito, Rin, Una, Fukase, Gakupo, Oliver, Dex, and Gumi too. But Len is just perfect to me for some reason. In range, in how his voice sounds, in versatility. (And in how his personality is usually portrayed as such a sweet and loving brother who would do anything for his twin.)

[@shmemerick2346]

I agree! He's tied with Hime for my favorite Vocaloid

"Releasing this on Gakupo's anniversary because I had no idea it was his 12th anniversary. " Oh my god DAVEE!!

[@akariarima]

I think it’s incredibly unfair to insinuate that Rin is less popular than Len using the concert clip of Butterfly on Your Right Shoulder. She didn’t have a large reaction from the crowd at this point because she had already been introduced with her opening number Meltdown. And she got quite the cheers for appearing. In this concert, this is the first appearance from Len, so of course he’s getting all the cheers in this moment. Please use a more fair example in the future. I love Rin and Len both and they should both be treated with love. Rin is popular for a reason.

[@daveejonesey]

After rewatching that part, it's true that I got it wrong and treated them unfairly. Sorry about my bias, I'll make sure to use a better example next time. Thanks for the feedback.

[@keekydeeks3993]

Your content is amazing but you missed out one big Kagamine producer which is hitoshizuku p as they have wrote many Kagamine songs, feathers across the seasons, sisters mercy, vampires pathos, karakuri burst, mistletoe the tree of reincarnation, etc and I think that's the only key point you missed Also I don't think trickery casino was the best of her songs to pick from the best introduction songs would definitely be the ones I mentioned above plus soundless voice and the entire syncrosity series And thank you for using Tokyo zombie land for the ending as I find it that most people don't know this song It would be quite cool to see a video about producers who use multiple loids not counting Rin and Len as a pair as hitoshizuku uses up to 10 different ones and mitchie m has used 4, etc So I think it'd be nice to shed some light on the weird and wonderful vocaloid combos you can find

Hitoshitzuku and Yama P also frequently produce songs with the kagamines. Also yea i stan these two. Their vocals are versatile, i like how Rin manage to nail every song genre ever, and Len.. I can see some people creating more and more foreign language songs with him. Hes just awesome. Combining both of them, OUTSTANDING.

[@dragonsclaw7452]

I can't tell if this video makes me happy or sad :0 The kagamines are my personal favorite vocaloids, so in a way I really want them to do better in popularity. Not saying Miku doesn't deserve her podium, she's a God in the vocaloid world. Just wished that I could see both kagamines gain a least a little more love!

[@Coffeiix]

[@Coffeiix]

@W O R M Rin actually has much more songs than Len

[@Coffeiix]

@W O R M and they said Len is best *in their opinion*

[@Coffeiix]

@W O R M People might tend to like Len more since his voice is more unique. There are many young female vocaloid voices, but few young male voices.

[@Coffeiix]

@W O R M He may also be more popular since he has many dumb middle school fangirls.

[@ChaoticMushy]

Hitoshizuku x Yama is pretty good with Kagamine songs as well. Such as: Seasonal Feathers Welcome to the Mirror Sound Kingdom Downfall Score Glorious Score Sister's Mercy Vampire's Pathos The dream of a girl doll Mistletoe The Tree of Reincarnation Re:birthed Alluring Secret Black Vow And many many more. As well as probably their most popular series being the Bad End Night one that features 8 vocaloids.

7:10 can't Forget about すりぃ who made エゴロック and many other songs pretty much exclusively with Len. He can also sing himself, which you can see in his self cover of エゴロック and his Self cover of テレキャスタービーボーイ. An other reason why I mention him is because his songs have been influencial in our.
