About
magnet (No capitalized M) is a Vocaloid song that was originally sung by the Vocaloids Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka. The song is often accompanied by a picture of the singers wearing butterfly headphones while nearly kissing or embracing. The song itself is about a couple who feels that their love is a sin and are worried about their future. Since the original pairing, Miku/Luka, is a same-sex pairing, one can interpret the song as being about prejudices against homosexuality.
Accompanying Art
In most “magnet” videos, an accompanying picture is shown, with the singers looking into each other’s eyes or embracing in some other way. They are almost always wearing headphones with butterfly wings on them. The color of the wings varies, depending on the singer’s “color”. (More common with Vocaloids, who have a set color scheme eg. Luka is pink Gakupo is purple Kaito is blue) A singer would wear headphones the color of their partner.
The “uke” or “bottom” in the pairing is often indicated as the one wearing a small top hat, while the “seme” or “top” is hatless. Sometimes, but less commonly, only the seme has headphones with a strap going over their head, while the uke appears to have headphones built into their heads. Rarely the headphones will not have butterfly wings, but will instead have feathered wings or bat wings.
