Background

 * The song tells the story of a group of people, of which Tsubomi Kido is the leader, called the Mekakushi Dan. Anyone can join the group, even in the middle of missions; there is no limit to the number of members, nor is there a particular requirement to join. However, one only gets to enter the hideout of the gang with a password. The group completes missions, some of which are dangerous, and recruits new members.

(Unofficial Translation)

The vanishing world of hope is growing heavy and cannot fly. And still I import my mistakes.

The iPod in my pocket vibrates with the chord. I put in my earphones In the meantime, if you put your hood up it's no problem. "Blindfold complete." As usual, it's impossible to be seen like this. If the emergency light glows red, again the scenery becomes surreal.

Surprisingly, today even came without taking the lo-fi environment A lifetime of anxiety awaits you tomorrow. "Now, now, this can't really be it?" If you, swaying, etch the beat into your mind, You'll see that this isn't so bad.

Hey, you can't get tired of this yet!

Swallowing down your vanity To the right of the 2nd railway gate you see. When your heart is clogged with expectations, Your lips will widen with a small grin.

Becoming completely groovy I run slightly ahead, leading, though, Suddenly the atmosphere becomes familiar. If no one at all notices you, Then you'll definitely be alright.

"Continue the mission." 20 minutes later... Is it hard to do it? Retie your sneakers! "Look, there's the signal. Let's go coolly!"

If your body temperature rises, you can clear it in one go with the high-pass The endlessly swelling city to the west, to the north, toward your side. "Hey, hey, are you almost over?" If the blonde heel laughs, Unfortunately, I wouldn't know. You can't hide.

The number of members is unlimited. Naturally, joining mid-action is welcome. There's no requirements to join. The uniform is whatever you want to wear.

Even the self-proclaimed naive you Can join with the password. By the way, even me And I'm a 2D otaku, hikikomori, NEET. But that's not a problem, right?

"This feels great!" I deflect like PIKI! The alarms don't stop. If the neon unexpectedly falls Then, pull back your hood and show your face!

Surprisingly, today even came without taking the lo-fi landscape A lifetime of anxiety awaits you tomorrow. "Come, come. It wasn't so bad!" If you rub your red eyes and look outward What's this? It wasn't for nothing! Now then, you who hasn't cooled down,

Why don't you come inside?

Trivia

 * Since the katakana for "Kōdo" can translate to both "code" and "chord", there has been some confusion about the title of this song. The song is most commonly known under the name "Mekakushi Code", although the PV of the song daze, which was released three years after the release of Mekakushi Code, includes an image where the name of the song is shown as "Mekakushi Chord", implying that it was either originally meant to be translated to chord or was later renamed.
 * It was believed that the line "ニジオタコミュショーヒキニート" (nijiota komyushou hikiniito) referred to Shintaro, as the line translates to "(I am a) 2D otaku, communication disordered hikiNEET". However, the daze PV shows three screens at about 0:44 with closeups on Kido, with text on these screens reading "terrible geek", "communication disorder", and "NEET stay-at-home", making it clear that the line in question refers to her.
 * The video features Sidu's first work as an artist for the series.
