Abandoned on a Moonlit Night is a song released by Akuno-P released on October 6, 2008. It is the tenth song in the Original Sin Story and a sequel to Moonlit Bear.

Plot
A young boy and girl follow their parents through the woods, making several inquiries on their ultimate destination. After walking some ways, they realize that they will become lost if they continue, and both are abandoned "like Hänsel and Gretel". Choosing to wander through the forest for some time, the twins fill their glass bottle with moonlight to illuminate the path, though they are not certain that it is the right one. Finally, they reach a house that they've seen before, a "witch's house". They shove the "evil witch" into an oven, and the two ask for praise from their parents for killing the evil witch and her "evil henchman". At the song's end, they decide this is a good place to settle, as it reminds them of their home; they later they resolve to go find their "real mother and father".

Composition
Kagamine Rin and Len are utilized with the VOCALOID2 engine for the song. Synthesizers, bass guitar, drums, steel drums, and piano are used prolifically, along with a radio filter.

The song begins with an opening instrumental, and the first verse begins at 0.20. Rin begins singing, then switches to Len at 0.39. At 0.55, a pre-chorus begins, a harmony between the two follows. At 1.14, the first chorus begins, preceding an instrumental break beginning at 1.32. At 1.52, the bridge begins. At 2.29, the second chorus begins, followed by a few verses beginning at 2.52. By 3.32, a variation of the opening instrumental plays, until the song's end.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The song is based on the Brothers Grimm tale "Hänsel &amp; Gretel".
 * Initially, mothy planned for an entirely different song while producing it, wanting to name it "Zoo Detention".
 * Like Moonlit Bear, Full Moon Laboratory, and Escape of Salmhofer the Witch, the story takes place on a moonlit night; the moon is often associated with madness and is the origin of the word "lunacy".
 * The song's English title, "Insane moonlight", also alludes to the moon and its association with insanity.

Curiosities

 * A short story elaborating on the events in the song is included in Waltz of Evil: The Deadly Sins of Evil Guidebook.
 * The glass bottle present in the song seems to be the same one seen in Moonlit Bear; a similar glass bottle appears in Regret Message.
 * In Chrono Story, the twins seem aware that the "witch" they killed was their foster mother, contrasting their apparent ignorance in Abandoned on a Moonlit Night.
 * Gretel's curiosity about tasty snacks to eat references Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche and her love for snacks, particularly brioche.
 * Their uncertainty on whether or not they travel along the "right path" parallels Moonlit Bear, where Eve describes that the "right path" had already been lost; both situations involved outward lunacy on a moonlit night through Held's Forest.
 * Both songs also share the same melody during that part, although at a different pace.
 * The song's opening melody is heard at the end of Moonlit Bear.
