DECO*27 LINE Stickers Series #2 & Merchandise Re-release for “The Vampire”
Another song from group OTOIRO that remains in the public eye is “The Vampire“, and despite having just been released in March of this year, the view counts for each official upload have far exceeded those of his other recent works. That, coupled with the numerous vocal synth, utaite and VTuber covers existing make it one of his most prominent songs to date! This popularity, we can assume, is the reason why series #2 of DECO*27 LINE stamps is centered around this song, and could explain their announcement of official merchandise for it; let’s take a look at what’s new in the world of OTOIRO!
But first up, if you haven’t had the chance to hear the original version of the song, featuring Hatsune Miku, check it out below:
※Please note that the original song (compared to the set of stamps) features some questionable content that may not be considered suitable for younger fans.
※There are also some flashing lights/colours throughout the video. You can find out more here.
And if you’re interested, you can check out their previous (their very first) set of LINE stamps made for song “Otome Kaibou” here:

Sticker explanations
Here are rough explanations on what’s being said in the stickers so that you can know when best to use them (from left to right) :
Illustrator: ろづ希 / Roduki
- Nice to meet you (hajimemashite)
2. Hey!
3. ! (surprise/shock)
4. ? (Curious, quizzical reaction)
5. (A simplified version of the official art used in the MV)
6. It’s fine / go ahead (ii mon)
(Note: This is probably in reference to the lyrics “ii mon kanashii mon setsunai mon”)
7. No way/no good (dame)
8. You’re bad/naughty, aren’t you? (warui ko da ne)
(Note: in the actual song lyrics, it’s implied that the speaker is talking to someone else, calling them a “bad boy”. Depending on who you’re speaking to, the phrase can refer to someone of any gender.)
9. No way (yada)
10. I can’t do it (muri)
(Note: This is probably in reference to the lyrics “mou muri mou muri…” / “no more/I can’t do it (any more)”)
11. *pouting face*
12. na~♪
(Note: This is in reference to the string of “nanana~”s at the end of the song).
13. OK
14. Thank you
(Note: This is a pun on the way the numbers “3” and “9” can be pronounced – they can both be read as “Sankyu” = Thank you, or alternatively as “Miku”, although the former is more likely in this situation)
15. Give me a bit/give me some! (cho~dai)
16. Come here (oide)
(Note: This phrase is probably in reference to the lyrics “atashi vanpaia mazu wa kocchi oide” / “I’m a vampire – first, come over to me).
17. [Surprise/shock] (in a good way)
18. You can do it! (ikeru yo)
(Note: In the song lyrics, this phrase is repeated a lot, but is implied that the speaker is saying it to themselves as “I can keep going” as opposed to cheering someone else on, which is what I believe the stamp is for)
19. *Pulls mask forward*
20. *Mask flicks back, slapping her in the face*
21. Are you sure (it’s okay)? (ii no?)
22. It’s a secret! (It’s between you and me) (naisho)
23. N O (ie)
24. [Shock/surprise/sudden realisation]
