Bio:

JimmyThumb-P (ジミーサムP) (Jimmysam-P, OneRoom) was one of the late new faces. His first work was uploaded in Sep, 2008 that passed more than a year since Hatsune Miku was released. His producer name comes from “地味なサムネ” (jimina samune = quiet thumbnail). The thumbnail of his video is usually quiet. So, many PV versions of his songs were made by his fans. He is characterized by music with thickness and clear sound quality and uploading works at a very speedy pace.

one-room = A room in one-room apartment. And, original author’s name is “OneRoom” (“…P” is the another one in Niconico).

Music: OneRoom.

An original VOCALOID song selection.

This song was released on March 24, 2009, it’s includes in OneRoom’s album “Toy Box“

Y = His initial or somebody’s initial who he had loved. They are the same by coincidence.

Sunday’s VOCALOID: Hope

An original VOCALOID song selection.

Not usual but here is a cool VOCALOID song or should I say VOCAROCK song.

Unfortunately, I didn’t find a lot of information on yuyoyupe but he’s mainly a VOCAROCK composer. I recommend to listen also to Yuyoyupe feat. Hatsune Miku – Despair, because these two songs  (Hope and Despair) goes “together” and can be considered as a unique song.

I’ll also put the vocal cover by DECO*27 that I introduced last week.

A other yuyoyupe’s song to check: Yuyoyupe feat. Hatsune Miku – Lost Story

Totally different style from wowoka, millstones is much more electro-pop. He has the gift to create addicting intro which makes you want to listen the entire song. Original thing this time, we don’t have 1 but 3 singers: Hatsune Miku, Megurine Luka, GUMI.

Sunday’s VOCALOID: Ura-omote Lovers

An original VOCALOID song selection.

Happy Valentine day !

This song titled “Ura-omote Lovers” (Two-Faced Lovers) is still very popular on NicoNico Douga (Ranked #8 on VOCALOID Ranking this week).

This song is very weird at first, for all VOCALOID songs I’m will say but especially this one because of the high pace/pitch of the vocal. You’ll understand what I’m talking about when you’ll try to read the lyrics !

A really upbeat and funny song in sum.

It’s sort of wowaka’s touch, his compositions are quite unique and original.

I recommend the track: “Tsumiki no Ningyou” (The doll of the building blocks) in the same style as “Ura-omote Lovers“

Sunday’s VOCALOID: Just Be Friends

An original VOCALOID song selection.

A other VOCALOID song, I’ve listened a lot this week, it’s titled! “Just Be Friends“.

This time the song is featuring Megurine Luka (N°3) and not Hatsune Miku (N°1). At first it’ll sound weird for non-Luka fans but I definitively recommend this song for those who like Electo/Pop genre. If you don’t like Electro check the Piano version available on Youtube.

Bio:

Dixie Flatline (ジェミニの人, Gemini no Hito) is skillful in composing relaxing electronica ballads, hip-hop, and R&B. He is the author of the hit song “Gemini,” his first work. His popularity has remained stable since then; his songs “Sweetie x 2″, “Juvenile”, and “Just Be Friends” have all gained considerable popularity. His name comes from a character in the SF novel “Neuromancer” by William F. Gibson, which he likes. Though he is called the “Gemini no Hito” (person of Gemini) it is only because of the popularity of his song “Gemini”: he is actually a Virgo.
