The song "6 Trillion Years and 1 Night Story" was composed by producer Kemu and posted on YouTube on January 8, 2013.
The song describes "a fable that nobody knows", centering on an unnamed demon child. He was mistreated by the villagers and always wished simply to become a human. He desires death to come sooner to him, and the boy seems to have absolutely no hopes for the future.
Then, a girl called AI arrived at the jail where people locked him. Although it was illegal to speak out loud in this village, she still asked him his name and said they should go away together. They do so despite not knowing anything about each other. The kid threatens Ai that she will be murdered if they are discovered together, but the girl does not care.
However, the villagers soon catch them, and in his desperation, the boy begs God that everybody in the world - except the girl and himself - would vanish. His dream is ultimately fulfilled.
6 Trillion Years and 1 Night Story has surpassed 6 million YouTube views and joined the Hall of Fame. Years later, the song surpassed 11 million views on NicoNico, making it the 3rd Hall of Fame song without Hatsune Miku as the lead singer, as well as the second track by IA to reach the Hall of Fame.

Akuno-P is the mastermind behind the publication of this Vocaloid hit "Servant of Evil", released on April 29, 2008. The song is the second installment on the Story of Evil album, and acts as a type of reaction song to its predecessor, "The Daughter of Evil."
In the song "Servant of Evil", the events described take place in a kingdom called Lucifenia - where the main character, Allen Avadonia, is working as a servant for Princess Riliane. Through the lyrics, he tells the listeners that he is actually the princess' twin brother, though they were separated as children for "selfish adult reasons." He guarantees that he will always stay by her side - even when everyone in the kingdom turns against her.
One day, Allen decides to pay a visit to the Elphegort nation, and while he is there, he meets Michaela and immediately has a crush on her. On the other hand, prince Kyle Marlon - Rilliane's crush - also developed feelings for Michaela. Rilliane is envious of her, and she wants her brother, Allen, to kill Michaela. Even though Allen has promised that he will always fulfill Rilliane's dream, he can't stop the tears streaming down his face as he stabs Michaela.
Due to Rilliane's cruelty, people get angrier, to the point that there is the Luciferian Revolution that determines to take her down. To save his sister, Allen convinces her to swap clothes with him, telling her that since they are a pair of identical twins, nobody would realize that they have exchanged clothes.
In the end, Rilianne manages to get away, while Allen is caught and publicly executed in her place. His last words before passing away are, "Sister, if I could be reincarnated, I would want to see you again."
