- Kayo Sudou

The Tailor of Enbizaka is a song released by Akuno-P on December 7, 2009. It is part of the Seven Deadly Sins Series, depicting Envy.

Plot
The song takes place in the city of Enbizaka with the tailor Kayo Sudou. Although famous for her skill and good attitude, she often thinks about how her "lover" is unfaithful and never comes "home."

One day, Kayo sees her "lover" walking with a woman in a red kimono. Observing how friendly he seemed to be with her, she left in a jealous fit and later tailored a kimono while crying. Later, the tailor observes the town's concern over a crime being committed. Later Kayo sees her "lover" be comforted by a girl in a green sash and observes how good the girl looks in her clothes; afterwards she tailors a sash while crying. After noting the growing unease of the town, Kayo sees her "lover" buy a yellow hairpin for a girl and is shocked by his lack of boundaries. She works hard later, noting that her scissors have changed color. After finishing her work, she goes out to meet her lover, dressing in the kimono, sash, and hairpin, believing that she has become beautiful for him.

Sometime afterward, Kayo relates how the village is in chaos due to the murder of a family of four. She also relates that her lover had treated her terribly, greeting her as though she were a stranger. Commenting on how her scissors had turned red, Kayo continues to carry on with her work.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The song's melody and Enbizaka's aesthetic pays homage to Edo Japan.
 * When using different characters, 艶美 (enbi) and 坂 (zaka) translates as "beauty" and "slope", referring to Kayo's notable beauty but uneven psyche and skewed perspective.
 * The song's English title, "Leviathan slope", is a reference to Leviathan, the patron demon of Envy, and refers to Kayo's inclination to her sin; the term "slope" refers to the wordplay for Enbizaka and its aforementioned meaning.
 * During the song, Kayo asks her "lover" if he finds her beautiful before killing him; this possibly alludes to the legend of the Kuchisake-onna, the ghost of a woman who asks her victims, "Am I beautiful?" before killing them.

Curiosities

 * While the silhouette and the color of the "Unfaithful Lover" matches KAITO, the ending credits censor his blood-covered name, leaving his representative Vocaloid, if any, unknown.
