"Hello, this is Masa.
I've composed a captivating song.
A brainwashing one.
Who's the remaining lunatic?"
Encantada, or The Orphan's Song, is an original VOCALOID song produced by Masa, featuring Hatsune Miku and GUMI. There are three versions of it: the first version was released on Niconico Douga and YouTube on March 12th, 2013, later being uploaded to SoundCloud on January 19th, 2015. The second one is a remix and included in the album ADULT, which the PV for was uploaded to YouTube and Niconico on July 12th, 2017, and the third one is a remaster of the ADULT version and is exclusive to ADULTRAZ.

Encantada's Description[]
In a distant past, there existed a city that surpassed all bounds of normalcy. Long ago in Asia, it was believed that consuming human flesh could bestow eternal life. Ruled by a rapacious king, that city was consumed by an abnormal fervor of faith. Ingram, pills, Tokarev, and the orphan's song... the night metropolis, Encantada.
Encantada's On-screen Text[]
Beginning[]
Come, come, gather 'round. Tonight's tale is one of a foreign land's history. Untold stories are erased histories. Madness rivaling that of The Story of the Kitsune is not tales of ghosts but of humans. Deeply rooted in faith is eternal life. Dismemberment, reattachment, rituals, and chanting. Religion, brainwashing, and human nature. Goosebumps if you listen; ignorance is bliss. If asked where that place is, I shall reveal. Shining brightly, Encantada.

Character Profiles[]
Mysterious woman - imprisonment: 1000 years
She is the person who actually controls Maha, and was last seen in Germany during the Encantada period. She is in possession of the Cartana sword which disappeared from a Roman cathedral a few years ago, and Luna is secured at a church in Encantada, where an order has been issued to seize it. Just before that, from the ground, a black ship appeared, which disappeared after destroying all the government personnel, and is believed to be the Queen Anne's Revenge, which has been ordered to be seized by the government.
Jack - imprisonment: 120 years
Presumed to be responsible for a series of murders in the city of London. If he indeed is the murderer, it means he is extremely dangerous; caution should be exercised. The MO is unknown, and there are no eyewitnesses, but it's still certain that he is the offender in this case. Nearly a hundred people were killed, including civilians and police officers. Currently, he seems to be a member of Maha.
Morian - imprisonment: 160 years
A large, strange man. His name has been frequently confirmed throughout the millennia of history. According to old government documents, he bears his name as an immortal chief priest who served Cortés in the old Aztec temple in a ruined ancient civilization. His name is also confirmed in the documents regarding the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Columbine Massacre.
Ase - imprisonment: eleven years
One of the richest men in the world and owner of Encantada. Although he has no criminal record on the surface, he is involved in human trafficking and other crimes in the underworld. His relationship to Maha is unknown. Confirmed dead when Encantada was overrun.
Luna Maria - imprisonment: 480 years
Has many pseudonyms; her real name is unknown. Uses the Infernal Heretic Prayers to propagate her dangerous ideas. The government puts an extraordinarily high price on her head, which is seemingly weird enough. Killing her is authorized by direct order from the government center. No record exists about her birth, making her impossible to identify. Always accompanied by Morian, so it's nearly impossible to kill or arrest her.
Partial English translation by Tackmyn Y.
Plot[]
Morian, now free, discovers the city of Encantada and kills a drug dealer named Borel Ase. Fearing for the safety of Maha, Echidna sacrifices a prostitute and exotic dancer in order to attempt to appease him, which he accepts. Some lines in the lyrics hint that the two later devour the dancer's corpse.
