Himitsu no Hanashi (秘密の話), popularly known as The Secret's Story, is one of the very few series created by Masa. Not much is known about the series itself due to how scarce information is.
The first song, Himitsu no Kingyo, was released on April 27th, 2016, with its prequel, Himitsu no Hako, released on February 23rd, 2018, and its final song, Himitsu no Owari ni Shukufuku o, on December 1st, 2017, but the PV was made on August 27th, 2018.
All of the songs for the series were released in the ALCATRAZ album.

Himitsu no Hanashi (秘密の話), popularly known as The Secret's Story, is one of the very few series created by Masa. Not much is known about the series itself due to how scarce information is.
The first song, Himitsu no Kingyo, was released on April 27th, 2016, with its prequel, Himitsu no Hako, released on February 23rd, 2018, and its final song, Himitsu no Owari ni Shukufuku o, on December 1st, 2017, but the PV was made on August 27th, 2018.
All of the songs for the series were released in the ALCATRAZ album.
The Secret's Story seems to have been a trilogy alongside the Sister's Story and Liar's Story, as they all seem to center on the topic of body fusion or swapping and taking revenge.
Himitsu no Hako[]
"This is a story of long ago. It began with a noblewoman and her greed stuffed into this box. 'Well now, shall we give it a name?'"
Story-wise, it's the first song in the series.
This song tells the story of two women, one named Konoko and the other named Anoko, lusting over each other. For an unknown reason, they began to put all of their desires into a presumably cursed box they created and called "the Secret Goldfish."
At some point in the song, it escalates into cutting their own body parts and stuffing them into the box as part of an idea where they could "make a friend from scratch." The box is later passed on to "the next pair," where the same thing repeats itself again.
Himitsu no Kingyo[]
"The child didn't show people the treasure but just had to show it to a close friend. It's a silly little best friend promise. 'We are such good friends.'"
Possibly taking a few weeks, months, or probably even years after the events of Himitsu no Hako, the box is obtained by an unnamed woman portrayed by GUMI.
The woman's best friend, portrayed by Hatsune Miku, finds out about the box she had hidden away from her.
In doing so, the best friend faces the consequences. To make the best friend truthfully seal the promise, the unnamed woman assumably gauges her friend's eyeballs out and tortures her.
Himitsu no Owari ni Shukufuku o[]
"This is the story of a box and the girls who were at the mercy of it."
Despite being the series finale, not much context is given here in the song or PV. Presumably, the characters might be the same women from Himitsu no Kingyo, although their kimonos have been swapped, and the best friend seems less innocent than she originally appeared.
