【鏡音レン】The Letter She Kept Waiting For【ENG】

[@janaded.894]

OK, canon or not, this song still makes me cry my heart out. Especially when Kyle said the respond would never come.

[@leesuperwomanfan9059]

That was Kyle????

[@janaded.894]

yup, I believe that was Kyle

[@leesuperwomanfan9059]

+Janade D. But why isnt he prince anymore? Did he leave his mom or something?

[@janaded.894]

this' categoried as "not canon", meant mothy chose to cancel all the plot development to this song, so there's no further information about this.

[@leesuperwomanfan9059]

+Janade D. I see, thanks for the info! But really, is there anything about how Rilliane spent the rest of her life? Except living with Haku and stuff?

Some interesting details from one of the Story of Evil guidebooks: * Rin became a nun at the church, and in her 40s she became the head of it. This church often took care of young orphans as shown in the novel Wiegenlied of Green. * Kaito, who had always preferred painting over ruling, ceded the throne to his half-brother and spent the rest of his life as a painter. * Rin died at the age of 77, surrounded by the orphans she cared for.

When len meets the painter and he says she will never get the response, my heart shattered. This has to be my fav in this story

[@Anak_Ayam0320]

Its not len lol

[@nataliasawicka633]

it's not len kaito was the paintor rin is the nun one of the orphons she raised decided to fufill her wish

[@rilianelucifendautriche6953]

I feel so sad that Len never figured out he was reborn T^T And Rin never got to figure out it was Len. This song makes me cry.

[@comet756]

I know what you're saying, she didn't figure it out when she was alive but I'll remind you she does when she's up in heaven. But it's non canon so you know len count not have been reborn and maybe just stayed up in heaven because mothy did scrap it.

[@comet756]

LordForgon last part about everyone ending up in hell I'll have to do some research on but wasn't the whole song leading up to say her sins were apologised for and she gets into heaven? I mean if you look at the video version her and Allens spirit walk off together so I'm assuming they are togrther

[@comet756]

LordForgon also at the end of the regret message video (original) there's a picture of the both of them eating watermelon and it looks as if they are up in heaven also there's a man who introduces them to each other (though rins tear shows she remembered everything that happened and im also assuming len does too) and I think that man is god.

[@comet756]

Ah ok, I saw a video on KZbin that I believed to be the original video of regret message, obviously know I know it's not. Also I was referring to regret message. I'm not tying in any of the other 7 sins series because as far as I know this doesn't tie into them at all, story wise that is. From what I know the seven sins series represents each of the deadly sins, I forgot which story of evil represents, but that's the only way they tie in. And thank you for providing those links and im probably going to update this comment after i look at them.

[@comet756]

LordForgon One more thing, at the end of the second link, it says Allen looks for Riliane on the ground world, so I think that ,though it could also be an unknown area, Riliane is still on the ground world as a spirit.

[@kirascarlettt]

Just to clear things up this song is about a random orphan kid who lived with a nun who had found a letter in a bottle. The letter was the letter Riliane sent in Regret Message. The boy always wondered who it was for and one day he went into town and talked to an old painter who was Kyle. Kyle told the boy of what Riliane had done and told him that the person she wrote letter for, Allen, had died. He told the boy that even though Allen was dead she would always wait for a response. The boy ended up writing a fake response letter for Riliane. He gave it to her and it slowly helped her recover from grief. He forgives her for everything she had done. ITS SO SAD!

[@drop_ofrain]

Hol’up I never read the novel.., I know that Rin is Riliane and Len is Allen but who is Kyle???

[@teeny13021]

This needs to be canon damnit! It fits so perfectly and at least gives some sense of closure to at least one of the many people affected by the Demons of Sins. I mean currently Rilliane never got closure and when the Hellish Yard and Evillious mixed and Allen was getting all the stories from the Demons he didn't get to see Rilliane. He got to see his parents but he didn't get to see his twin sister.

[@jocelyntok7842]

Umm..what's a canon?

[@teeny13021]

Canon means it's part of the original story.

[@jocelyntok7842]

Oh..thank you! （≧∇≦）

[@CJCroen1393]

+光る幸さん(Kōkō) I personally think mothy's reason for retconning it was because he felt it wasn't quite time to end the Story of Evil yet. After all, he did release a new installment later.

[@akaneh1989]

@CJCroen1393 I heard it was because mothy got stumped with how to continue this plotline, presumably because of the boy voiced by Len I would say. But I agree with Koukou, this should be canon, it gives Rilliane more closure than Blink, and besides Blink would take place before this so these two are not mutually exclusive, that can be canon too.

[@me360ly]

I did not realize the nun was Rin until I read some comments and looked for a video. I thought it was the story of young Len for a bit with the way the boy was abandoned at the beginning... BUT UNDERSTANDING JUST MAKES IT SADDER >.

[@goebel7085]

IKR?? Same here... **sob**

[@hiim4373]

At first I also though it was Allen (Rin's twin also known as Len) but then when she said that she was waiting for a response to her letter, my heart literally broke to pieces!

[@Kaneisvan137]

Rilliane is literally a 14 years old ditactor , kill anyone if they oppose her , that was her sin... a queen sinned by her own pride

I’m just happy Kyle finally got to be a painter instead of what Prim wanted for him.

[@logixc2660]

Time to ask the age old question, Why is this so damn sad?

[@avc1234]

Finally, this is the Mothy I know. I missed it when his music was like this, where the song could stand on it's own and its connection to the much larger plot is only hinted at and the listener is forced to connect the dots to make sense of the song in the much grander scheme of things.

[@PanandGohan]

*Wanting to sing this in Japanese* *Gets to first chorus* Len: Moshimonegaigakanaunara Me: Screw this!

[@XBNaddie]

Technically, yes. According to the novel and the songs, Allen (Len) saved Rilliane (Rin) by pretending to be her. In the end, he's the one who was beheaded instead of Rilliane. After Allen's death, Rilliane lived as a nun with Clarith (Haku), and changed her name into Rin. c:

[@Kaneisvan137]

it's not... but at the same time it did...errr Re:birthday is actually part of the Clockwork lullaby series... but... the Clockwork Lullaby series is a connector songs... so.. after Allen(Len) died in servant of evil... his soul is reincarnated as Irregular... which is the person in Re:birthday and Capriccio Farce (the irregular is not the servant btw)

[@Chirkrasia]

It's a set of four books. Daughter of Evil: Closure of Yellow, Daughter of Evil: Wiegenlied of Green, Daughter of Evil: Praeludium of Red, and Daughter of Evil: Prefazio of Blue. There are also eight other songs that go with this. TwiRight Prank, Daughter of Evil, Servant of Evil, Message of Regret, Re_Birthday, Daughter of White, Wooden Girl ~Millennium of Wiegenlied~, and Sound of the Clocktower Needle(Handbeat Clocktower). The books can be found on Japan's Amazon, you can look up the songs.

[@Chirkrasia]

Allen is born.... 499 years later as Master of the Heavenly Yard. The kid is just some kid raised by Rin. Re_Birthday isn't really part of Aku no Musume, in any case. Until you read Praeludium and Prefazio. XD

[@Chirkrasia]

Kyle Marlon is an image king. He didn't want to do it, but Queen Prim forced him. She was the one doing the work, though. Kyle could be considered the figurehead of Marlon, I suppose. We learn in the novel Prefazio of Blue that he wanted to paint and nothing more. Infact, he even painted a portrait of a younger and non evil Ney! Which is shown in the novel.

[@flaiirenn]

i thought regret message was sad, but this song makes me want to bawl.

[@frostedclover3411]

i know that this song isn't canon, but when i first heard it i thought it was part of the story of evil and now i can't see the storyline any other way -_-

[@juzinhabio89]

Well... she does reincarnate as the Waiter while her brother is reborned as IRREGULAR and they are both together in Capriccio Farce. Although he's still in the CD's womb so they hadn't met yet I guess...

[@juzinhabio89]

Don't worry, it takes some time to know all the names. Well this songs is believed to be talking about Riliane (Rin), since it said about the letter to someone that it's dead, and that she once killed many people. He said fake letter because it was the boy who wrote the answer, not Allen (Len) her brother. So yes it was fake. If you want I would love to help you to understand the story, but it's very complicated since this serie is connected with other series that makes the whole story.

[@juzinhabio89]

They are "The Daughter of Evil:" in order: Clôture of Yellow, Wiegenlied of Green, Praeludium of Red and Praefatio of Blue. Those are the 4 novels of Story of Evil. There's also the Deadly Sins of Evil novels: The Lunacy of Duke Venomania e the recently released The Evil Food Earter Conchita. The next one will be the novel for the sin Sloth of the song Princess Who Brough Sleep. There's also an official manga for the Lunacy of Duke Venomania.

[@Sasha0Tigerstar]

I am crying right now. Cant wait till someone makes a video for it

[@Suicune34]

The Painter is Kyle Marlon and I think Riliane know it`s a fake letter, She know Allen already dead and it`s impossible for her to get the reply/response, She`s smiling because I think she`s happy that the children still care about her even though they know what Riliane did in the past.

[@ProblematicLovers]

I remember when this song came out 3 years ago. Something that always peeved me though, the Romaji isn't correct. For example, I understand the Kanji says On'na but Len clearly says Shoujo. Could that have been a kind of transliteration error or something? It's always bugged me since middle school.

[@alanna647]

MUSE00 And Circus on'na and shoujo both mean girls so yes it most likely was translation error

[@nadiarahman811]

Also at the end of this song when the orphan says "we realized her sin after everything already ended", it is referring to regret message. It's referring to when Rin said "I realized my sins after everything had already ended"

Ohmygawd. Is this even possible? I cried watching just about all of the videos in this 'series'.

[@robirb_]

I really didn't need all these feels. Nor to cry like this. Meh. I love how all the songs in Story of Evil have an echo of the previous songs in them. Here in particular is "Tsumi ni kizuku no wa itsudatte subete owatta ato", like in Regret Message (with the only difference of "itsumo" instead of "itsudatte").

no, this was just a little boy that had no real connection to Rillae. There are many versions of Len in this series, the same with all the characters. Allen, the Len from Servant of Evil, is will be reborn into the wooden doll. There is a Len in another lifetime who is reincarnated from Hansel (The one who let lose all the sins with Gretel [Rin] at the very beginning) And then the servant from Evil Conchita who is in the graveyard at this point with the reincarnation on Gluttony (MEIKO).

You've got to keep in mind the only people who officially know where Rin is. That's Allen (Len), Clarith (haku), and Kyle (Kaito). Allen's dead, Clarith can't be tha painter because the painter's male, and Kyle learned everything in Handbeat Clocktower! I'VE SOLVED THE MYSTERY!!! (Also, Neru killed Miku, not Len. She was just disguised as him. She's known as the "Golden Haired Assasin". ^^)

[@Suicune34]

They do not reborn as Vocaloid, Riliane sin is reborn as Matsu mono in Gallerian Theater while Allen Soul is trapped inside the womb of Clockwork Doll waiting for his rebirth

[@Chirkrasia]

Rillianne changed her name to Rin when she met Clarith. And yes, the painter is Kaito. He's the king she loved, King Kyle Marlon. Though he became a painter because he had enough of crazy shit. Then again, who wouldn't? Necromancers, witches, demons and sin. I'd quit my job too.

[@SweetBunny8]

I must say I have tears in my eyes everytime I listen to this song. I think that, in a way, Rin really is different from the other Sins. At the end, she realized her own sin, how horrible she had been and tried to atone for it with the rest of her life. She made many children smile, created a home for them, but never once forgot about Len or her mistakes. Instead of turning bitter, she took the positive spin of life, never complaining. She did terrible things, but she deserves to be forgiven.

[@HowAboutAHug]

Riliane wanted Michaela dead because she loved Kyle. She started the Genocide of Green, which Ney Futapie and Allen participated in. Allen didn't actually kill Michaela, either. He hid her in a well so that she would survive, but Ney killed her anyway on Prim's orders. Rin did make the order to kill off all of the green-haired girls in Lucifenia, if you've ever seen Daughter of Evil.

[@Ldarogeninga]

I know this is an old comment, but I keep hearing people referencing "Allen" and other "Clarith" and stuff, and I'm wondering what it's from. I only know the Daughter of Evil series from the vocaloids, so if it's not directly referencing that I wouldn't know...

[@sharkstriker1]

+lemon kirby clarith is yowane haku aka the daughter of white ,and Allen is rillaine (kagamine rin aka the daughter of evils twin brother) they only exist during the sin of pride in the sin series aka rins sin in the story of evil the daughter of evil commits the sin pride. rin Len and haku appear other times in the sin series but as different characters it gets really confusing the series is so long and is a part of another larger series and it's hard to explain sometimes

[@sharkstriker1]

+lemon kirby if you need to this series is actually really big some other songs are daughter of white (hakus aka clariths song) servant of evil (lens aka Allen's song) wooden girl thousand year wiegenlied (mikus aka Michaela's song) and hand beat clock tower (Kaito aka Kyle Marlons song)

[@Tigerlady248]

The series is bigger than just the Story of Evil, it is a whole saga called the Evillious Chronicles. Re-Birthday is more part of EC than SoE. He does come back, but its Al(len). There are several Len's running around. This songs Len is a random one as far as we know.As well, make sure you didn't watch the fan PV of Re-Birthday!

[@slotaint]

Could it be that Len came again in this body of this child to be able to forgive her? That'd be happy and sad.

[@slotaint]

Aw.. I'll just imagine that is was Len. Would be awesome in my opinion lol

[@dragonsoul123]

There is a hint, that Len is reborn, but it is not said if he is the orphan. I think it is also quite beautyfull if she just finds peace and then they both get reborn as twins. I think Len would not forgive her, because he never sees a reason to. He is not angry with her, he does not forgive because to him there is nothing to be sorry for. All he did, he did für her. He knew what was to come and he was loyal and loving til the very end. And she grandet him his last wish: To see her smile one last time.Aoki Lapis

[@SunlitMiracle]

Pretty much the only thing we're lacking now is Mothy outright going "yep, this is part of Story of Evil" by talking about it on his blog or uploading the song to NND or something. I'm certain that it's safe to assume it is even without such a statement, though, given this info and all the other details (seaside church, a letter sent out to someone already dead, a young girl causing many people to suffer).

[@KawaiiStars]

The little orphan that resembles len is probably len reincarnated

[@NeraNelly]

Riliane (Rin) DID order Allen (Len) to kill Michaela (Miku). He couldn't make up his mind if he should kill her or not but when he finally did, he found Michaela lying on the ground bleeding and she died in his arms. It was Ney (Neru) disguised as Allen that stabbed Michaela. Note how it is never mentioned that Allen killed her. All it says is "golden-haired assassin" and that Michaela died in Allen's arms, not that he killed her. At least that's what i think. Please don't hate me if I'm wrong!

[@mirichys]

so touching + i like the bgm. even if its not actually Allen's actual reincarnation, I still want to hope for a look-alike TwT I mean, it is sung by Len after all :D I think in the end she managed to forgive herself, even a little, because she didn't really specify who the reply had to come from, did she?So that little Len(gonna call him this for now) wrote the letter for her, meant that atleast he forgave her sins. anyway, a painter?I bet that's Kyle Marlon(the blue guy Rin used to chase).

[@KagamineSydmay]

Yeah. The line "We only learned about what her sin was after everything had already ended." Is a link to Regret Message's "I only realized my sin after everything had ended."

[@juzinhabio89]

Well, since Len is my absolute fave, I'm glad that he have such a important role. But to be honest, when I started to listen to the Story of Evil songs, I thought that he was the most important character, but after I got to know the entire story, I don't think that's true. I really don't think that there's only one character that have more spotlight. And hey Gakupo now have even more attention with the Venomania manga! I agree with u, I have no idea what motheaveny do.
