I was like that too. I used to think everything was meaningless because we are floating in space. I then thought about how so many people are experiencing what we are experiencing. Nothing has meaning, but why wallow in sadness when you can do whatever since in the end it won’t matter.
The fact that Kikuo asked his music teacher back then about music theory but his teacher was like "don't learn that lol it'll make the music you make boring" lmao
Imo, music theory is only necessary if you're bad at making music haha. Kikuo naturally listens to the sounds he creates, and he has a good ear for it too.
absolutely love how MARETU went from "unnecessarily edgy" to "unnecessarily edgy with musical experience" this is why they're one of my favorite producers
I mean, one of my favorite remixers also doesn't know much about music theory, he just know how to do the instruments, but i think remixes and original music aren't tje best exemples, his name is Nick Nitro if you're wondering.
Personally I think if you have a good enough ear, knowledge music theory isn’t necessarily needed. I actually think all the rules might hold some people back.
it's actually the type of song's he'd make before he eventually he started making vocaloid songs. i've never paid attention but i do know that there are some heavy bass in SIU and drums in eye have you. or the entirety of Toutetsu
he’s also a fan of some metal bands like Slipknot, Korn, lamb of god. and you can hear some parts in his music where he takes inspiration from these bands.
As someone who listened to Creepy Toast once as a child and hasn't thought of it's existence ever again until seeing the thumbnail of this video... Discovering that it was made by CircusP is the most surreal as fuck thing I've ever had to learn
to be honest seeing circusp's most popular song not being insanity after that was such a cornerstone of my early vocaloid experience is jarring to me. the glowup is intense though
Agreed! Insanity has been one of my favorite songs since I first discovered it in elementary school. Use to listen to it all the time. I was pleasantly surprised to see the new music CircusP released.
It's so funny seeing CircusPs tiktoks about his song process and half of the ones on his older songs are like "Oh god people still like these? I cringe so hard when I hear my own music"
Honestly I still really love insanity, because the flow of the lyrics are really smooth. I could do without the "edgy emo kid" vibe of the lyrics themselves, but overall, it's a really nice song. I wish the instrumentals were better too. I recently found a cover of that particular song with 2 different vocaloids, and the cover artist also redid the instrumentals. While the instrumentals were modernized to sound better, I think they tried really hard to keep the music sounding as close to the original as possible. I can't remember who made the cover, but it was incredible to hear one of my childhood favorites as an actual nice-sounding song lol. Like, I don't mean to sound snobbish, but a lot of Vocaloid music is... VERY Vocaloid. Idk how else to describe it. Just look at classics like Romeo + Cinderella, or World Is Mine. Those songs don't have a lot of sound depth; and musically, they kinda hurt the ears. I love Romeo + Cinderella for the chord progressions and for the lyric flow, but overall, the music is so empty. It would be so cool for those classics to get redone, almost like how Yuyoyuppe redid Leia (granted, I still love the original bc the depth was fine to me, but the remake is even better). Anyways, pardon my rant. I am just very passionate about Vocaloids and synthetic singing. I've always been a bit of a tech geek, and I love watching the Vocaloid community change and become even more serious about the music. The old music was fun though!
kikuo's mixing has always been so well done, i remember listening to one of his songs when i was a kid and being blown away by the difference in quality, he's so talented
Okay, but Becoming Potatoes is a bop. Like, I love all of Neru's music from Tokyo Teddy Bear to SNOBBISM, but Becoming Potatoes is my favorite song from him right now.

I was also expected to his most popular song be "gomen ne, gomen ne", it was shocking! But "aishite, aishite, aishite" it's such a banger too, so I understand
luck pure luck There are plenty of smaller producers who never had that moment where one of their songs blew up. From, someone who knew KIRA since 2016 and had witnessed firsthand how Circles blew up.
As stated, KIRA started with UTAU Covers. But he's also UST-ing songs. This help him gain some of his followers. People will try to find USTs for the song they want to cover and they'll find him. I'd say he's always been at pro level even when being UTAU User. So, he started getting some of his "basic followers" . It isn't only because he USTs, but he also befriend with some UTAU users too, as example Ekkoberry (who's now usually work as artist for most of his works). With that, he got his first songs at least known among his "basic followers". As time goes, he made more songs, his friends and "basic followers" try to spread his songs. TH-cam algorythm might also help new people to find his songs. That's at least what I thought.
UTAU covers also just used to be incredibly popular, sometimes they would even pop up in the recommended after listening to the original song provided you were already consuming a fair amount of Vocaloid content. Another point is that Kira was one of the first Vocaloid producers making English songs to become popular in the community to the point where if someone searched for English Vocaloid songs Kira would be the top result.
kikuo having no idea how music theory works makes so much sense. ironically though, his songs are some of the most complex pieces of music i’ve ever heard in my life
I love how it was just a meh song about Luka being scared by toast and then just *I WILL BECOME WHAT YOU LIKE, THIS IS WANT YOU WANTED RIGHT?!* Most epic shit in my life
Yes, I've noticed that his songs kinda sounded like metal but it wasn't metal per se, so that made lots of sense Not surprised that he used to be a metal producer because of this tbh
If I remember correctly, he sneaked on a server like discord or something and no one knew how old he was until he blurted it out lol ed: oops, english be cringe lol
Hole dwelling is def my favorite!! Id recommend listening to that one other type of voicebank program thignies english cover of it! (I forgot what it was called but i think its eleanor smthing just searcn holedwelling english cover and u should hopefully find it)
It's kinda sad that a lot of producers delete their oldest videos, I wonder if they think they're not "good enough"? I'm not so keen on my old videos either, but I'm not going out of my way to delete them. It's interesting to see people's beginnings and compare it to where they are now.
From some art advice ive heard is that for a portofolio its better to delete your oldest as it showcase your currently worst product. But I think for archive reason its better not to delete them.
I have some vocaloid covers in my playlist that aren't avaliable anymore. Either because copyright went copyright or because they think it's bad now. Kinda sad that others can't find them now.
While definitely not unpopular, I feel that yuyoyuppe is very underrepresented in producers... I don't often see others agree that he's a favorite of theirs, but he is mine!!
Kikuo not knowing music theory is really interesting! His songs often have very distinctive and unique chord structures, so I wonder if that is in part why. His music is always so good!
i mean i think his creativity and skill is more of a factor than being uneducated, as many other musicians dont know music theory and come nowhere close to such a unique style :p
Ok, I was totally blown away that MARETU made Let's Say The P Names cuz like it differs so much to his nowaday style. Also that Forced Slavery for some reason gave me Saw and Pendulum vibes 👀
It’s coincidental that both Circus P and Kira’s most popular song is a Gumi English song and their most recent songs at the time of the making of this video was a Hatsune Miku English song!
Love me, love me, love me was my very first vocaloid song I have ever heard. I actually used to think kikuo was a girl and miku was an actual person 💀💀 but it does bring back memories

ok holy shit, ive known about maretus metal past but i never knew about his actual first song how in the world did you even find this. where has this been all my life cause im in love thank you so much
Great video!! It was really cool to learn that Kira used to be Yunosuke's tuner! I also can't believe I didn't know that Maretu did Lets Say the P Names lmao
Kikuo : you're right Neru : Kaze to Nare yuyoyuppe : you're right CircusP : CMYK album picco : Tiny Cat papiyon : Lunar Eclipse MARETU : you're right KIRA : you're right
Copycat feat. GUMI was one of the songs that got me into Vocaloid. I’m also a huge Kikuo fan so seeing them in this video is awesome. I love Maretu but their first song is worse for wear. Mind Brand is also one of my favorites.
i knew there was a lot of metal influence in maretu’s music, but it never really crossed my mind that he could’ve made metal music in his beginnings. how interesting!!
Its wonderfull seeing how the producers evolved troughout the years. But its sad that AkunoP wasnt on the list, he's one of the greatest producers i've ever know.
Don't tell me about Kikuo's origins, i've been in a whole rabbit hole the last few months trying to search for his old songs. So, if you do a part three, can you include Sasakure and Hachi?
Have you checked out Asian Melancholic? I think it was what he made before he became Kikuo. Only three videos remain on the channel but I think some are reuploaded on youtube. th-cam.com/channels/xchJJp6MuxwF5jwVkxnmDg.html
I feel bad because I only knew a few of the producer's on the list just because of a few songs (mostly popular songs). Like I recently discovered Kira because Kira's songs have been showing up frequently on my pandora playlist (Digital Girl, Master Piece, Monster, Circles; just to name a few). I don't know why, but I was expecting Crusher-P to be on the list for some reason. Crusher has some bangers.
@@Mushybff You can still do it! It just might take more practice than a musically gifted person! Still, I bet some of the more popular producers weren’t gifted yet they still made it
When I first found out about Maretu, he was NOT known (I found about him around 2016 Summer, end of July) and I was overwhelmed because the way he produces the songs hit different from the ones I've always listened to and you could say I fell in love? After a year I somehow forgot about vocaloids but the main reason why I even started watching anime was the vocaloids. All hail running Sakuya and Po Pi Po!
i watched the whole video expecting Ryo because he has so many popular songs, also Wowaka for the same reason, i would like to know what was his last song
I want to focus on producers who are still active in vocaloid. When you say they made so many popular songs, the truth is not really. They both made about 20 songs which is extremely low when you compare to producers like DECO*27 or PinocchioP who made well over 100. Wowaka's last song was Unknown Mother Goose made in 2017. It was requested by Crypton for Miku's 10th anniversary. The song before that was in 2011. Wowaka left the vocaloid scene and I'm sure he wouldn't have come back if Crypton didn't request Unknown Mother Goose.
Personally I feel like it would be inappropriate to do a video about Wowaka's "last song" seeing as he has been dead for a while now. It's pretty easy to find out what his last song was before he passed away. Just have to look for it.
I'm impressed by now much work went into this video. Finding erased videos, providing interesting bonus information... I'm not even much of a Vocaloid fan anymore, I used to be a big one in 4th - 6th grade(Just few days ago, I was thinking about how back then, going to a Vocaloid concert was one of my biggest dreams. Not anymore, but maybe...), but Vocaloid content still makes it's way to my recommended, and I don't mind, I like to watch it once in a while. I'm glad that I recognize some of the producers' names, since back then, I didn't pay much attention to who made the music. I'm happy to see some of the names burned themselves into my memory enough to remember.
vocaloid isnt that old, and most vocaloid producers are usually young, most are usually 16~25 and a lot of the older ones are usually just around 30 it doesnt make sense that everyone who was making music back then would be dead by now...?
ive been down the rabbit hole with kikuos music and even some of his very early works- im talking some even from 2003 aren’t even half bad 😭 i think the fact that his music is experimental allows for more creativity with sounds which is probably why his music has a specific sound
MARETU really surprised me with this one. Metal and Vocaloid music mixed is my huge favorite. Utsu-P was my first metal Vocaloid producer I ever heard and I got hooked. I wonder what Utsu-P’s first song was and what his most popular song was. 💜
my whole life i never knew who made lets say the P names and hearing now that its maretu (which mind you is my favorite vocaloid producer) is. very obsurd to me but i am not complaining this man made my childhood im giving it out to him
Thanks for the part 2! Gotta love how Maretu's style in tuning and mv has been pretty consistent throughout the years. Ps. Can you make a part 3 and include Mikansei-P?
so i feel like this is a dumb question at this point in his career, but did kira used to be utau user echoblossom123? i feel like i recognize the art style from ye olden days
Nope, they're two different people! However, you're right, echoblossom123 (who now goes by Ekkoberry) has been illustrating for quite a lot of Kira's MVs

Creepy toast is just the most silly and adorable song I’ve ever known to exist
Great video!! It was really cool to learn that Kira used to be Yunosuke's tuner! I also can't believe I didn't know that Maretu did Lets Say the P Names lmao
14:55 Kira was 14-16 when they made that song
holy shit
woah
Circus'P is the definition of glowup ,,,, creepy toast is a iconic phase tho
love how kikuo's style has remained consistent yet has gotten even better with time :)
Kikuo is just built differently
i like how a lot of them keep using the same vocaloids as back then its like an homage its kinda cute
also they’re pretty darn expensive
Even in Kikuo's first song, you can hear his shtick. He's so amazing
creepy toast to copycat is such a jump ngl
Actually MARETU's first song is Kaitten Soukai Zangyaku ver but his first full song would be Forced Obedience
kinda reminds me of when i go through my old sketchbooks. I guess it never occurred to me music could be the same way
New recent songs:
Kikuo: Emptiness Emptiness Emptiness of Emptiness Stupid dance remix
Neru: Just praying
Yuyoyuppe: Burning Burning Burning
CircusP: Sabotage
Picco: Daybreak
Papiyon: Avocado
MARETU: Angel 92
KIRA: Wildcard
Kikuo : you're right
Neru : Kaze to Nare
yuyoyuppe : you're right
CircusP : CMYK album
picco : Tiny Cat
papiyon : Lunar Eclipse
MARETU : you're right
KIRA : you're right
0:36 MADE MY TV LAG AND FREEZE
BRO THAT HAPPENS TO ME TOO 😭
The tv couldn’t handle them *extreme* vibes
And the captions lol😂
MATERU went from talking about abuse to talking about killing your abuser. What a turn
MARETU MADE THE P NAMES SONG???? THE P NAMES WAS ORIGINALLY SANG BY HATSUNE MIKU??? WHAT
Copycat feat. GUMI was one of the songs that got me into Vocaloid. I’m also a huge Kikuo fan so seeing them in this video is awesome. I love Maretu but their first song is worse for wear. Mind Brand is also one of my favorites.
me too! oh to be 9 again
same I was looking for a different copycat song but then I found an mlp mv with copycat feat. Gumi lol
Becoming potatoes is one of my favourite songs to play on pjsekai!
I was really surprised when i found it wasn't as popular as i thought it was-
I was surprised it was made FOR project sekai, I never played jp sekai but kept up with it, I was surprised when I learned it was made for sekai
kikuo is insanely talented
i knew there was a lot of metal influence in maretu’s music, but it never really crossed my mind that he could’ve made metal music in his beginnings. how interesting!!
You start with Kikuo, you're the best!!
I love Kira’s song “Monster.” He is so good at tuning Gumi same as tons of other English voicebanks like Miku.
She*
MARETU MADE LETS SAY THE P NAMES?? no wonder i like it so much
Its wonderfull seeing how the producers evolved troughout the years. But its sad that AkunoP wasnt on the list, he's one of the greatest producers i've ever know.
BECOMING POTATOES HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST SONGS COMMISIONED FOR PJSK. I love Nerus music sm
Don't tell me about Kikuo's origins, i've been in a whole rabbit hole the last few months trying to search for his old songs.
So, if you do a part three, can you include Sasakure and Hachi?
Have you checked out Asian Melancholic? I think it was what he made before he became Kikuo. Only three videos remain on the channel but I think some are reuploaded on youtube.

Idk if you have this playlist saved but this is all of kikuos songs lol th-cam.com/play/PLHlV6hJ48ptBlo-IenzBeuRbcRnDWgS67.html
@@peppersalt he has a full asian melancholic album up on spotify (under asian melancholic ofc)
@@NJackie what did rerulili do?
@@NJackie YESS
I can’t believe circus p most popular song isn’t circus monster anymore 😢 it was my introduction to vocaloid and creepy pasta! So many memories!!
I feel bad because I only knew a few of the producer's on the list just because of a few songs (mostly popular songs). Like I recently discovered Kira because Kira's songs have been showing up frequently on my pandora playlist (Digital Girl, Master Piece, Monster, Circles; just to name a few). I don't know why, but I was expecting Crusher-P to be on the list for some reason. Crusher has some bangers.
Don’t worry I recently just got back in to Kikuo and discovered other producers
this makes me want to become a vocaloid producer
do it!! please!!
@@arsony1775 awww thank you for the support!! however i have no musical skill so idk if it's viable ;w;
@@Mushybff You can still do it! It just might take more practice than a musically gifted person! Still, I bet some of the more popular producers weren’t gifted yet they still made it
FINALLY MARETU!
I love all his work
I've thought that his first song was Let's See The P Names even that I knew abt Forced Slavery :0
When I first found out about Maretu, he was NOT known (I found about him around 2016 Summer, end of July) and I was overwhelmed because the way he produces the songs hit different from the ones I've always listened to and you could say I fell in love? After a year I somehow forgot about vocaloids but the main reason why I even started watching anime was the vocaloids. All hail running Sakuya and Po Pi Po!
i watched the whole video expecting Ryo because he has so many popular songs, also Wowaka for the same reason, i would like to know what was his last song
I want to focus on producers who are still active in vocaloid. When you say they made so many popular songs, the truth is not really. They both made about 20 songs which is extremely low when you compare to producers like DECO*27 or PinocchioP who made well over 100.
Wowaka's last song was Unknown Mother Goose made in 2017. It was requested by Crypton for Miku's 10th anniversary. The song before that was in 2011. Wowaka left the vocaloid scene and I'm sure he wouldn't have come back if Crypton didn't request Unknown Mother Goose.
@@bluestar3939 ok, thank you!
Personally I feel like it would be inappropriate to do a video about Wowaka's "last song" seeing as he has been dead for a while now. It's pretty easy to find out what his last song was before he passed away. Just have to look for it.
MARETU LIKES UTSU-P! I WANT A CROSSOVER NOW!!!
I'm impressed by now much work went into this video. Finding erased videos, providing interesting bonus information... I'm not even much of a Vocaloid fan anymore, I used to be a big one in 4th - 6th grade(Just few days ago, I was thinking about how back then, going to a Vocaloid concert was one of my biggest dreams. Not anymore, but maybe...), but Vocaloid content still makes it's way to my recommended, and I don't mind, I like to watch it once in a while. I'm glad that I recognize some of the producers' names, since back then, I didn't pay much attention to who made the music. I'm happy to see some of the names burned themselves into my memory enough to remember.
CircusP’s improvement was so amazing, i keep watching the video..
I like how you included MARETU, He's my favorite producer
maretu's earlier songs slappppp i love his music sm
Yonosukes tuining of kafu makes me smile and i don't normally like kafu at all. It feels unique but familiar??
Yunosuke doesn't do the vocal tuning himself, it's Osamu who does it. He also doesn't write lyrics, it's Gyuniku.
11:30 Just Imagine this song being in Project Sekai and the difficulty..💀
yk i thought vocaloid producers who made songs wayyyyy back were dead now- but NOPE- they still alive and kicking making banger songs still
vocaloid isnt that old, and most vocaloid producers are usually young, most are usually 16~25 and a lot of the older ones are usually just around 30
it doesnt make sense that everyone who was making music back then would be dead by now...?
@@abdulaisiyoup3912 i think op meant dead as in not trending anymore or smn?? 🤸♀️
Can't wait till GHOST is old enough to to this for
I’d never even heard of creepy toast before this video, I wonder what the inspiration behind it was 💀
ive been down the rabbit hole with kikuos music and even some of his very early works- im talking some even from 2003 aren’t even half bad 😭 i think the fact that his music is experimental allows for more creativity with sounds which is probably why his music has a specific sound
that transition between monster and 4blood was really good
MARETU really surprised me with this one. Metal and Vocaloid music mixed is my huge favorite. Utsu-P was my first metal Vocaloid producer I ever heard and I got hooked.
I wonder what Utsu-P’s first song was and what his most popular song was. 💜
This is part 2. Utsu-P is in part 1
my whole life i never knew who made lets say the P names and hearing now that its maretu (which mind you is my favorite vocaloid producer) is. very obsurd to me but i am not complaining
this man made my childhood im giving it out to him
When I saw the "my little hart" typo I immediatly imagined "shart" "hart"😭
Real😭
Roleless Weapon is a frickin bop!!! Holy shit, how did I miss this song until now????
It's literally so good 😍
Yuyoyuppe improved SO much their tuning with Luka, amazing!
Thanks for the part 2!
Gotta love how Maretu's style in tuning and mv has been pretty consistent throughout the years.
Ps. Can you make a part 3 and include Mikansei-P?
i love how miku screams in agony in "forced slavery"
the fact that pretty much all of the most popular songs are all used for animation memes makes me feel old
I love it
It's like watching a friend grow as they create
so i feel like this is a dumb question at this point in his career, but did kira used to be utau user echoblossom123? i feel like i recognize the art style from ye olden days
Nope, they're two different people! However, you're right, echoblossom123 (who now goes by Ekkoberry) has been illustrating for quite a lot of Kira's MVs
I actually had no idea that KIRA used to work with Yunosuke, and that's where he got his original producer name from, very interesting in my opinion
I heard the first song and I don't know why but I immediately recognized it as kikuo. Hes just so distinct
