Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jin, the composer behind Kagerou Project, created original songs for each episode that mirror the era of rock being explored—from psychedelic to punk to grunge.
The series functions as a love letter to rock history that many Japanese viewers missed; Western audiences actually caught more references, creating a fascinating reverse-localization phenomenon.
