Zombie Stage

About the project

zombiestage.com is an editorial fan hub for VIVINOS's Zombie Stage & Alien Stage.

Independent, unofficial, non-commercial. Written by long-time viewers of the AU, published from Seoul on Cloudflare Pages, updated within 24 hours of every new VIVINOS drop. Our job is to make Zombie Stage and Alien Stage legible to English-speaking fans — line-by-line lyric transliterations, character profiles, essay-length explainers — without breaking the trust the original creators built with their audience.

Who runs this site

zombiestage.com is edited by a small collective of long-time Alien Stage viewers, working from Seoul, South Korea, since June 2026 — the week Round 1 of Zombie Stage premiered. The site is bootstrapped and independent. We are not affiliated with VIVINOS, SCALAR, STUDIO LICO, or any label. We have no sponsorship, no publisher, and no gatekeepers.

Editorial contact: [email protected]. Copyright and takedown contact: [email protected]. Both inboxes are read by a person, not an autoresponder, and we reply in English or Korean.

Why this site exists

Zombie Stage arrived on 26 June 2026 as VIVINOS's first officially endorsed alternate universe of Alien Stage. Within a week it had over eight million YouTube views and a fandom scattered across Reddit, Twitter/X, TikTok and Naver Cafe — but no single place to read the lyrics in multiple languages, understand the story, and see how the AU maps against the original series. Wikis were fragmented. Fan translations lived in Google Docs. Non-Korean readers were losing the emotional subtext to language.

We built the site we wanted to exist: fast, mobile-first, no login, minimal ads, structured well enough that Google can send new fans straight to the right page. Everything you see here is written or curated by a person who watched the source material more than once.

What we publish

  • Multilingual lyrics — every VIVINOS song from both AUs transcribed line by line: Korean (한국어), Revised Romanization, English translation, and — where volunteer translators contribute — Spanish, 中文 and 日本語. Each line is tagged with its performer and colour-coded to match the character.
  • Long-form guides — essay-length explainers, comparisons and recaps for readers who want the story, not just the setlist. Every guide has a byline date, a last-modified date, and a Related Reading footer.
  • Character profiles — one page per performer, both universes, with voice actor credits, appearance timelines and relationship maps.
  • Tools & reference — a lyric romanizer, a line-distribution visualiser, a personality quiz, and a live gallery of official stills, all built as small browser-side utilities.

Where our content comes from

Every lyric line is cross-referenced against at least two of the following before we publish:

  1. VIVINOS's official YouTube upload (embedded captions when available).
  2. SCALAR's Melon, Genie, Naver VIBE and Apple Music lyric feeds.
  3. The physical or digital OST booklet, when a release has one.
  4. Interviews and creator notes VIVINOS publishes on Twitter/X, Instagram or the STUDIO LICO blog.

Translations follow the Revised Romanization of Korean for phonetics and a non-literal, meaning-first approach for English — poetic intention over calque. When a line is ambiguous, we flag it inline with a note rather than choosing silently. Guides quote no more than is necessary for commentary, in line with U.S. fair-use and Korean copyright law's quotation for the purpose of criticism, research or education carve-out.

Songs we have not yet been able to source to that standard are marked “Lyrics pending” on the page and kept out of Google's index. We would rather have an honest gap than a guessed one.

Corrections & disputes

If you find a mistranslation, a mistranscribed hangul character, a factual error in a guide, or a caption that reads wrong to a native Korean speaker, please email [email protected]. We read every message and normally reply within 48 hours. Meaningful corrections get a byline credit at the bottom of the affected page. Substantive edits update the page's dateModified timestamp, which is also emitted in the article's structured data, so search engines see the revision.

Rights, credits & DMCA

All original works — animation, music, character designs and story — remain the property of their creators: VIVINOS (concept, art, direction), SCALAR (music production, including Rubyeye and C!naH), and STUDIO LICO (production studio). Lyrics, screenshots and character art on this site are reproduced under fair use for the purpose of translation, annotation and cultural commentary. Every lyrics page carries an inline attribution and a link to the official streaming source.

If you are a rights holder and want a page removed or amended, please contact [email protected] with the URL and a description of the material. Verified requests are honoured within 72 hours. Our full policy is on the DMCA page.

Privacy & how the site is funded

zombiestage.com is a static site hosted on Cloudflare Pages. We use Google Analytics 4 for aggregate traffic measurement only. The site runs no display advertising. It is kept running by volunteers, with optional reader support via Buy Me a Coffee. We do not sell reader data, do not run pop-ups, and do not require signup or email to read any article. Full details of what is collected, and how to opt out, are on our Privacy Policy page.

How to contribute

  • Native Korean speakers — mistranslation reports are the single highest-value contribution. Screenshots welcomed, timestamps appreciated.
  • Translators for Spanish, 中文, 日本語, Português, Français — we credit line-by-line contributions on each song page.
  • Fan artists — official-adjacent art can be featured in the Gallery with credit and link-back. Email us before submitting.
  • Bug reports and typos — every page has a "See something wrong?" link in the footer.

Support the creators

We want this site to grow the audience of the artists it covers, not replace them. If you are new to VIVINOS: watch VIVINOS on YouTube from the beginning of Alien Stage, buy or stream the OST on Melon / Spotify / Apple Music to make sure SCALAR sees the money, and — if you can — subscribe to VIVINOS's Patreon for early comic previews.
