Introduction

Shuuen no Shiori Project (終焉ノ栞プロジェクト Bookmark of Demise Project), a.k.a. Shuuenpro, is a vocaloid project created in mid-May of 2012 by:

  • 150P (music)

  • Suzumu (スズム) (story & lyrics)

  • komine (こみね) (illustration)

  • Saine (さいね) (illustration & character design)

The story falls into the genres of mystery, horror, meta, and supernatural and contains major elements of character death and gore. Other warnings can be found here (please vote if you know the series already), but some not listed include text repetition (a LOT of it, used as a literary device)The series received 5 albums (by the above team + a few others), 4 light novels (written by Suzumu), a 33-chapter manga (7 volumes) (by Amino Yuki), and a CD drama. 7 songs received official PVs.Its manga synopsis is as follows:TW for dismemberment, murder, and gore

On the normal, unchanging campus, it suddenly occurred; A murder case where a body was cut open, right into two. On the other side of the unsolved case, the rumor-loving high school students became involved in a certain ritual.
From the extremely popular songs on Nico Nico Douga, begins the Project.
What is the "Bookmark of Demise"?
Who is the traitor?
What will the conclusion to this story be?So, can you solve this mystery?The project came to a halt following late 2015 when Suzumu confessed to plagiarizing ghostwritten works (supposedly lyrics) and earning dishonest profit from them. He then announced that he was retiring from all vocaloid-related activities. (Link to read his announcement about it or a translation of it)As a result of the incident, 150P and komine seem to have retired as well, though without notice.Consequently, although the manga got its own ending in January of 2016, the project itself has not received a proper conclusion (and more than likely never will).You are still welcome to get into the series in spite of this, but be warned; there are countless mysteries unsolved and many loose ends untied.After reading all of this...

Re:Houkago -Shuuen Game- (August 11th, 2012) - A doujin CD that acted sort of like a one-shot album for Shuuen. Included the original IA versions of the first four songs (except the NND / "final" version of D-ne's song) and 2 new songs.(YT) (Spotify) Shuuen -Re:write- (March 13th, 2013) - First major album of Shuuen! Focused on the occult club. Included new unique vocaloid covers of the first cast's songs plus Underdog Supremacist (Common Heroes and Bookmark of Demise were left mostly unchanged). Included 4 new songs and a piano arrangement mini-album in the limited edition.Unlucky -Makki- @ School Trip (November 24th, 2013) - Spinoff / Summer AU album. Included 7 new songs sung by IA.(YT) (Spotify) Shuuen -Re:mind- (March 25th, 2015) - Second major album of Shuuen! Focused on the film club. Included 13 new tracks and the 5 character songs of the second cast. Only one song received an official PV.(YT) Shuuen -Re:act- (September 23rd, 2015) - Third major album of Shuuen! A special album which included the entire cast's character songs covered by their respective voice actors. Included 2 new songs. In its limited editions, the album also came with a Drama CD with 8 tracks and two special tracks.

-Re:mind- is the one album where the translations are scattered absolutely everywhere (and incomplete). Therefore I have to make my own masterpost for it..Track name translations are either by @shuuen-scans or by their respective translatorsFormat:
(youtube link) Translation linkSome links are shortened via bit.ly to solve a problem in which the links would become broken and link nowhere for an unknown reason.

(There is no proper -Re:act- masterpost as far as I'm aware.) Because most of these songs aren't new, most of them already have translations. These tracks have been uploaded onto Youtube as well.Track names listed are according to the respective translator's interpretations.Format:

  • Drama CD (titles translated by @w-sensei)

  • 1. Prologue: Next Error

  • 2. First Chapter: Letter to the Future

  • 3. Second Chapter: Our Evidence

  • 4. Third Chapter: The Tragedy of that Day

  • 5. Fourth Chapter: To the 10-years-after You

  • 6. Fifth Chapter: Repeatragedy

  • 7. Epilogue: After School, in the Music Room

  • 8. [Secret Track]

  • NOTE: There are almost no translations of the CD Drama at this moment. However, there's a bilibili reupload of the tracks which includes Chinese subtitles. If you're on desktop, you can enable "Google translate this page" on your browser and gain rough translations. It's not entirely accurate, of course, especially since it'd be a machine retranslation, but it can serve as an alternative.

Much of Novel 3 & 4 is missing translations. Note that a few blogs have changed urls. (re-missedcall -> re-missedcall-blog1)
