on this page, i will rank my top ten favorite songs of the first milgram trial. i will also post theories on the music video comment sections that are very well written (right click and select "open image in new tab" to see them better). content warnings will be given for each music video. i hope you enjoy these brilliant songs !
#10 - half (kazui)
(content warning for cheating, divorce, possible suicide, alcohol)
i say this is a pretty beautiful song ! the only reason it's so low is that the song type didn't really hook me, plus kazui's boomer voice sounds kinda goofy 💀 but the beat is pretty good, very melancholy. both the song and the visuals remind me a lot of karakuri pierrot.
one youtube user's theory (TRIGGER WARNING FOR SUICIDE):
#9 - this is how to love you (mahiru)
(content warning: emotional abuse, suicide, starvation, toxicity, alcohol)
pretty cute song ! reminds me a lot of something you'd hear on a more more jump song in project sekai. for a song about emotional abuse that potentially caused a suicide, this song is very cheery. if mahiru didn't murder someone she'd be a cinnamon roll in my book.
one youtube user says:
#8 - throw down (shidou)
(content warning: suicidal ideation, medical malpractice, organ harvesting, reading theories about this song will make you depressed asl)
bro this literally sounds like something off of that bts pandemic album?? pretty ironic considering shidou is a doctor himself. but i really like this song!! the beat is so chill and well-made, complimented by shidou's melancholy vocals. the music video doesn't help matters... he is so HOT??? congratulations deco*27 i am simping for a murderer because of you
3/22/2023 update: triage changes EVERYTHING that is so sad what in blazes :((( his family :((( noooo :((
one youtube user's theory (they are a relative of a real surgeon):
#7 - after pain (muu)
(content warning: bullying, stabbing, suicidal ideation, possible manipulation, drawings of self harm and hanging on blackboard)
ngl some of these lyrics hit close to home and that's all i'll publically say about my struggles in life. (it's not the suicidal parts don't worry). muu's strained and desperate vocals certainly don't help. this song is so sad but so catchy ? and then it's not my fault happened and made whether or not muu is innocent even more doubtable then it already was ??? damn
one youtube user's theory (complete with thoughts regarding trial 2):
#6 - umbilical (yuno)
(content warning: abortion, possible sex work)
this song is so CUTE !! ...yes, i just said that about a song with the above content warnings. it's really upbeat and sweet-sounding and songs like these make me happy,,, autism, kids. yuno is a cinnamon roll that deserves to be protected, she did NOTHING👏🏻WRONG👏🏻
the best theory for this is LONG AS HELL so click here to view it
#5 - magic (amane)
(content warning: child abuse, cults, religion, derealization, electrocution, waterboarding, asphyxiation, animal abuse, eyestrain... this one is Messed Up)
AAAAAAAAAAAAA MY POOR BABY PLEASE GET HER OUT OF THERE,,,,, but hey I like this song ! it's really cutesy and wouldn't be out of place in one of those girly idol games (looking at you Love Live). bonus points because amane becomes a frickin MAGICAL GIRL towards the end... convinced my soul snuck away while i was sleeping and ghostwrote this video for deco*27
amane's theory is super long as well so once again click here to read it
#4 - bring it on (futa)
(content warning: cyberbullying, suicide, sexual harassment, possible doxxing, flashing & eyestrain)
oh my god guys cancel culture on twitter has its own song?? /j but in all seriousness this song is AWESOME. arthur conant lounsbery is goddamn TALENTED i wish i could scream-sing that good,,, hopefully deco*27 spent some of the money from this project to repairing his throat :P also i really like how they used an RPG scenario as a metaphor for the cyberbullying, someone on the creative team needs a cookie
we're on a roll with long-ass theories huh? click here to read futa's
#3 - meme (mikoto)
(content warning: DID, violence, smoking, flashing images)
first of all who let this become a tiktok trend 💀 second of all, fun fact, mikoto is voiced by tanjiro kamado's voice actor which is honestly some VERY shocking trivia. with that being said, this song is a straight banger. the way it segues from dramatic metal to cinematic soft singing sends my ears to wonderland (and i don't mean x showtime lmao). mikoto is kinda cute but that doesn't excuse murder does it
one youtube user's theory:
#2 - harrow (kotoko)
(content warning: kidnapping, child murder, crimes, twisted justice, self-loathing, possible rape)
OH MY GOD??? KOTOKO'S VA DESERVES A RAISE THOSE VOCALS ARE SO IMPRESSIVE,, bonus points because she killed the sick freak that kidnapped that child. kotoko you are my everything and i hope to god you remain innocent for trial 2, we need more people like you in the world and (brainrots to death)
one youtube user's theory:
#1 - weakness (haruka)
(content warning: abuse, neglect, ableism, animal murder, child murder, choking, drowning, eyestrain... it's up there with magic)
ARF ARF BARK BARK AWOOGA THIS IS THE BEST DEC0*27 SONG OF ALL TIME SHUN HORIE IS A GREAT VOCALIST HE SOUNDS SO PAINED AND OH MY GOD I AM GOING TO GET HIM AWAY FROM HIS ASSHOLE FAMILY AND GET HIM ALL THE MENTAL REHABILITATION HE NEEDS MY POOR BABY (doesn't excuse murder either way),,, THE GUITAR MUSIC IS SO DRAMATIC AND INTENSE IT'S LIKE A DARK ANIME OP AKJDSHAJFHADFGYUSJ
haruka's long-ass theory is here (tw: contains a metaphor using suicide)
