In the wiki the story is told like this: A song about two courtesans, a girl that lived as an orphan (Rin) and the daughter of a former samurai (Miku) in pre-modern Japan. As children, they promised to be together forever, however they are now working in different brothels as rivals. A man (Len) comes along and enters a relationship with them both, going behind their backs and promising both girls that he loves them. But one of them (Rin) discovers the truth and is heartbroken. He then leaves them and promises to return, but the other woman (Miku) grows ill with heartbreak once she realizes her love hasn't returned and dies, leaving her friend all alone. The lonely woman decides to wait for the man to return to free her no matter how long it takes, yet she wishes it all had been a dream.

this story is about two homeless little girls (rin and miku) who made a promise to stay with each other forever and had to become prostitutes, (in the second picture of the video) each one of the girls had a flower on their hair to represent how beautiful they are on the inside (so as rin had the bigger more bloomed flower and miku had the smaller plain flower). one day rin meets this man (len) and falls for him (and he falls for her), but instead of rin he chose the, so called prettier one, miku, so when rin found out all she could do was watch and cry as those to dance the night (in bed) away. later on he and miku makes a deal that she'd be his for...well...a while. even though he prefers miku (because she's prettier) he still loved rin and did some...stuff with her as well, after that he tells her to stay put and that he'd come back for her, but instead runs off with miku. As for rin's and miku's promise, it was then broken. after a long, long long , rin is still waiting for her "friend" and "lover" hoping they'd come back...

(part I left out) there's a picture or scene in the video where the small flower (miku's flower) is attached onto a stick. the flower is to represent miku and the stick is to represent her promise with rin. as you saw or heard the stick broke.

But Len played a part in that because he wanted to be the highly desired Oiran; the last line stated, "And with that, finally this nuisance is done with at last!!" while cutting the symbol on the back of his neck that connected him to Rin.

What illusive words they are: “I’ll come for you … so please, wait for me.” Even as time passes and the seasons cycle by, I still Wait, believing in them. Wearing tattered kimono under the dancing snow, drifting down from the night sky, Two penniless, lonely orphans huddled, shivering, shoulder to shoulder. Their eyes that shone when they laughed, darkened when they grieved, Reflected each other’s hurts when they made a promise to survive. Courtesan flowers invite you into the night Like butterflies of the night dancing in sweet honey. As they flutter their beautiful kimono, Ravage them (Make them blossom) For they will become flowers brighter than anyone else, mesmerizing all who see. Aah, what illusive words they are: “Let’s be together, forever and ever.” Even as the seasons cycle by and we grow up, can I Still believe in them? On that day, everything was set into motion. With that promise dyed in sunset’s light. So I wouldn’t ever notice my lonely heart, I drowned myself in a never-ending dream. In a city stained in dusk’s hue, I fell into a secret love. With no way to even communicate my feelings, I could only watch from afar. The flower that laughed before those kindly smiling eyes... Her quietly budding love beat a loud throb, before it crumbled. Loving and being loved are nightly tunes, Fantasies in the dark, void of color.“ If this “being loved” will bring me so-called “happiness,” Then I… (Then you…) Should be happier than anyone else in the world. What illusive words they are: “I’ll come for you … so please, wait for me.” Every time someone utters the phrase “I love you," It’s a reconfirmation of your worth in life. “But, if so, then why don’t you Whisk me away this very moment…?" The empty cry, dredged up from the wells of my heart, Disappeared before a word was formed. Disappearing with the dawn, (that empty corpse that was once artificial love.) If only it were all a dream, (I would have been able to keep from crying.) “I will wait for you forever,” (That promise we made in the night) Vanished along with the illusive flower. Do you remember that promise we made that sunset long ago? “Let’s walk together, side by side" Perhaps, one day. Aah, they disappeared like illusions, Both the pitiful, sweet flower and the first love. Even as the seasons cycle by and I grow up Only this never-healing scar remains, left behind. Now, I - alone, all alone by myself -Continue waiting without any end in sight For the unfulfilled promise of that summer sunset. If everything, that oath we swore in the sunset, Were all a dream… Obligatory not my translation, I just copy-pasted from the wiki.

HEADCANNON Miku and Rin are childhood friends, as they grow older Rin secretly falls in love with Miku, - She doesn’t reveal anything because their situation is hopeless. However she is heartbroken when she finds that Miku is being courted by Len. The heartbreak is not because Len is courting Miku - after all “loving and being loved are nightly tunes” for both of them - as courtesans, they are used to playing with love because their job to play out the male fantasy until the man moves on. The heartbreak is because Rin can see that Miku is pretending to be / or is genuinely / in love with Len. This has never happened before - it was always the two girls together against the world but now the love of her life and the only person she has ever had is planning to leave. Rin hopes that Miku will keep the promise they made as children - Rin hopes that she won’t abandon her. Miku breaks her promise, Rin watches as Miku eagerly begs Len to prove he loves her and take her away immediately - Seeing how quick she leaves Rin behind is a betrayal and breaks her heart further. “Disappearing with the Dawn (that empty corpse that was once artificial love.)” Rin loved Miku and believed they would stay together - but after seeing how easily Miku abandoned her, she now views Miku’s love as artificial and sees her as an empty being who doesn’t care for anyone or anything but her own survival. After all, how could you so easily leave someone who was practically your family & only support since childhood. But still, Rin cannot help but hold the hope that Miku, the pitiful flower & her first love, will one day return for her.

Everyone says that the one walking in the rain is rin... Some even say it's miku but it's actually len because he didn't die in this song so he had to leave
Alright, I know that The DarkMisstress already explained it, but I'm going to explain it the way the Vocaloid Wiki did. Basically, there are these two girls who live on the streets; one is an orphan (Rin) and the other is the daughter of a former samurai (Miku). The two promise to stay together forever (as BFFs, not romantically). As they grow older, however, both girls bloom with impossible beauty and become courtesans/prostitutes at separate brothels, making them rivals. After a while, a handsome man (Len) begins to romance them, concealing such and promising both that he loves them. However, one day Rin discovers this and is utterly heartbroken. Some time after this, Len tells the two girls separately that he must take leave, but Miku realizes in his absence that he will never return, and grows ill and dies. Rin, as a last resort, waits for Len to return to "free her", all the while wishing that the whole occurrence had been but a dream.

Let me explain about the story because everyone is mistaken about it. There was never a love triangle ! And Rin didn't even know Len. This song is more about friendship than love. Miku and Rin made a promise when they were young to always stay together. But Miku fell in love with Len and Rin discovered it. So she break all relations with Miku because she betrayed her. The girl waiting alone in the rain is Miku because Len is truly a rich plaboy, making empty promises to all girls in the red districts and Miku was one of his victims and he never came back. So she waited for him and died of illness (losing her love and only true friend). Now I don't really remember the name of the song, but there's one about Len, explaining that he wanted to know love and so played with many girls. And he truly fell in love with Meiko. ( I will edit this comment if I found the name of the song). And I don't remember if there is a song about that but yeah after losing her friend, Rin finished with Gakupo. Edit: Dark tower love is the name.

vocaloid.fandom.com/wiki/%E6%81%8B%E9%97%87%E6%A5%BC_(Koi_Yami_Rou) If you read the actual background story of The Dark Tower of Love it actually shows Len DID love Rin "Born as the third son of a wealthy merchant, he had spent most his days in his home with his brothers: the kind, older one (Gackpo) and the middle brother, who was a painter (KAITO). One day, his oldest brother brought home a friend of his (Luka) and the third son fell in love with her. After his brother grew up to marry her, he decides to set out and find his own love. Stumbling across two brothels he enters a relationship with the two most popular women of each and soon realizes his genuine love for one of them (Rin). Although he promises both women he'll return, he assures himself he'll come back for the one he truly loved, either because of the other one's (Miku) untimely death or just because he only cared for one of them." That's the full story.

Hi, here are some reasons i believe Rin's character wasn't in love with Len's character: The PV itself mentions Len maybe once? While Miku is a major character. She's present from the start, she's important. And Len? Even when Rin spies on the two, Len is turned away, all we get ti see is his back. He looks like set dressing for Miku, who is the center of the image. The song itself never shows interest in Len either. It's never about him, all he does is be with Miku and take her away. I'm not saying Rin likes Miku necessarily. It could also just be about losing a once dear friendship. "Love" in the english language is used for both caring about someone and feeling romantically attracted to them, and i dont know japanese well enough to be certain of what word is being used. What i know is that Len isn't a focus.
