―Sateriasis Venomania^[src]

The Lunacy of Duke Venomania is a song released by Akuno-P on July 25, 2010. It is a part of the Seven Deadly Sins Series, depicting Lust.

Plot

The story takes place in Asmodean as Duke Sateriasis Venomania greets another woman who approaches his mansion. He explains how he made a deal with the devil to have an irresistible charisma to women; as a result, women flock to his mansion's basement to create a harem for him. The Duke burns all his old portraits, revealing how he had been mocked and taunted in childhood for his appearance. He kisses another girl in his harem, Gumina Glassred, who had been his childhood friend but also made a fool out of him. He continues to build his harem and women begin disappearing from all over the land.

One day the duke greets a new woman entering his mansion, approaching "her" to dance; as he does so, however, the "woman" stabs him with a knife, revealing himself to be a man who had tracked down his lost love to the Venomania's home. Due to the injury and the knife's poison, the duke collapses and his spell breaks; as a result the women all begin to flee the mansion. As Venomania dies, he sees a glimpse of Gumina and he begs her to stay, as he states that he has not yet told her that he loved her.

Composition

The song uses the various VOCALOID and VOCALOID2 voicebanks. It utilizes Camui Gackpo as the main vocal, as well as KAITO, MEIKO, Hatsune Miku, Megurine Luka, and GUMI. The song utilizes synth drums, synthesizers, violin, as well as an extension of a YAMAHA keyboard to achieve the specific piano sound.

The song begins with the sound of howling wind, and then the sound of doors creaking open is heard at 0.26. The sound effect of the doors closing comes at 0.30, followed by the opening instrumental. At 0.55, the first verse is sung by Gackpo. The first pre-chorus plays at 1.17, with a duet between Luka and Miku. At 1.28, the first chorus begins, preceding an instrumental break at 1.45. By 1.56, the second verse is sung, once again by Gackpo. At 2.18, the second pre-chorus begins, with a duet between Gumi and MEIKO. The second chorus begins at 2.28, once again preceding an instrumental break which starts by 2.45. At 3.06, the third verse begins, followed by a final pre-chorus starting at 3.30, sung by KAITO using two different pitches. The final chorus begins at 3.41, until the opening instrumental plays until the song's end at 4.32.

Lyrics

さあ、踊ろうか

今日もまた美しい淑女が　
僕の元　訪れる
微笑みを浮かべる貴女は　
新しい妻となる
禁断の悪魔との契約　
手に入れたこの力
僕を見た全ての女は
魅了され堕ちていく

女性を魅了する力を手に入れた
男は一人住む屋敷の地下室に
気に入った女を次々と連れ込み
ハーレムを作り上げた

毒を秘めたリビドーの味　
突き刺した刃の快楽
血と汗は混じり合いやがて　
紫の滴へと変わる

服を脱ぎ捨て抱き合えば　
現実へはもう二度と戻れない

燃やされた昔の肖像画　
捨て去った過去の僕
誰しもがあざけり笑った　
あの顔は忘れたい
傍らの可愛い娘を
抱き寄せてキスをする
彼女はそう　かつて僕のこと
馬鹿にした幼馴染

ある日を境にして国中の女が
いつしか次々と行くへをくらませた
あるものは女房あるものは娘を
失い途方に暮れた

闇に染まるリビドーの色　
とどまらぬ無限の欲情
幻想は全てを呑み込み　
僕はもう人ではなくなる

神に逆らい堕落する　
これが僕の望んでた狂気のnight

今日もまた美しい淑女が　
僕の元　訪れる
さあおいで僕の胸の中　
踊ろうよこのハーレムで
近づいた貴方を抱きしめ　
微笑んだその瞬間
突然の鋭い痛みと　
血に染まる僕の胸

消えた恋人を探してた若者
居場所を突き止めた　悪魔の住む屋敷
若者は女装して悪魔に近づいた
懐の刀を悪魔に突き刺した

毒を秘めた刀が刺さり
僕はその場に倒れこんだ
血と汗は混じり合いやがて
紫の滴へと変わっていく
術のとけた女たちは全て
我に返り屋敷から逃げ出した
僕のこと一瞬だけ見て
最後に屋敷から出たのは

あの幼馴染　待ってよ
まだ君に好きだと言ってない

Trivia

Conceptualization and Origin

The term "lunacy" means insanity, tying to the Duke's wanton sexual abuse to satiate his own pleasures; the word also means foolishness, possibly due to being deceived by Karchess because of his own arrogance regarding his power.
The name Venomania is a combination of the words "venom" and "nymphomania", the latter meaning an excessive desire for men, referring to his power over the women he enchanted.
The song's English title, "Dance with Asmodeus", is a reference to Asmodeus, the patron demon of Lust; it also alludes to the Duke's signature phrase before dancing with the women in his harem.

Curiosities

A manga based on the song was serialized, acting as a side story to the song's novel adaptation.
Like the other songs in the Seven Deadly Sins Series, the song PV begins with the phrase "さあ" (Saa).
After each chorus in the song PV, a list detailing the missing women in Asmodean was shown, revealing Venomania's increasing depravity; after the second chorus, his victims include a 62-year-old woman and three girls with their ages censored, one of whom has her age in single digits.
Many of the women's name, ages, and occupations allude to characters from the Story of Evil; a majority of the lists' names are based on the name of a female Vocaloid.
Josephine Francois, whose age and occupation are both censored, is a reference to the horse owned by Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche in The Daughter of Evil.
Ironically, the song echoes Venomania's earlier mention of "libido that hid poison" and "pleasure of the blade that cut", which mixes his blood and sweat together until it turns purple; he is stabbed by a blade hiding poison at the end of the song, mixing his blood and sweat to mix together until it turns purple.
The song was rearranged by mothy, titled "The Lunacy of Duke Venomania [Remixed Version]", a track included with the purchase of the manga.
