Digipack Analysis: Children's Record


The second digipack to the "Kagerou Project", "Children's Record" and includes two more new songs as well as a brand new opening song with the same name of the album. This Cd also includes a special DVD to the music videos used for the songs as well.

This cover is significantly different then the previous digipack, this one includes the variety of characters that got introduced from the previous album songs to the album songs in this digipack. The circular shape and cut out of the characters allow the illustration to include a lot of characters at once without revealing their full appearance, still giving the album an air of mystery. The album also has no title or masthead to show what the album is called, giving focus mainly on the illustrations. 

Although one feature that has been kept, is the use of foreshadowing. The ouroboros in the center of the "disc" is quite significant to the plot, as the character's powers and ability comes from snakes. The symbolism within ouroboros of "rebirth" is quite interesting as well since the cover is different then the previous digipack, making it seem like it has been "reborn" too.
