MILGRAM

MILGRAM is a song series produced by VOCALOID song producer DECO*27 and writer Takuya Yamanaka. It is an interactive project that officially began on May 1, 2020 with the release of the "This is the MILGRAM" video explaining the rules of the series and how it would function.

This series focuses on 10 prisoners, and 2 security guards, one of the two being Es, who is a character that represents the fanbase while also having their own history. The fans are the ones who have to uncover the truth behind the 10 different murders and the personalities of the people behind them.

As Jackalope explains in the first video, this series will have three sets of trials, each character getting their own song for each one. After each song is released, the fans will vote on the official website or through the app on if the character should be "赦す" (forgive) or 赦さない (to not forgive). The results of these votes will change the future of the character as well as how they act and what is revealed.

Story
Starting with the video "This is the MILGRAM", Jackalope explains to the viewers (otherwise known as Es) that you are a prison guard. You wake up with no recollection of your life or how you got here, so you're forced to trust Jackalope. Jackalope continues to explain that you are to look over the 10 prisoners who have been brought here due to their own specific cases of murder. Your job now is to find out the truth behind their actions and the story behind each of them, which will be done in a specific way.

In this prison, there is a machine that can take the exact memories of the prisoner, and turn their experiences into both a song and a music video. Because it is a machine, the prisoner cannot lie, and every bit of the music video, from the events shown to the lyrics, is truthful. As these songs are released, the viewers will vote on if the characters are innocent or guilty based on that. With each result, the next song will reflect it. There will be three rounds of voting in total.
