Producer Spotlight: PENGUINS PROJECT
PENGUINS PROJECT
mylist | blog | piapro
PENGUINS PROJECT is a unit led by ShisyunkiP. You might remember Pengupro as the composer of the very catchy and well-covered song Chocolate Train.
ShisyunkiP got his P name from one of his compositions Shisyunki Vocaloid. He started uploading songs early 2008 and is continuously composing to this day, although he has started collaborating with artists instead of using Vocaloids. He's been playing the piano since he was a child and his inspiration is Komuro Tetsuya, a Japanese composer regarded a someone who deeply influenced Japanese pop in the 90s.
Penguins Project's music style is straightforward pop, almost anime-ish. His songs, whether they are leaning towards ballads or upbeat dance tracks, always have an of 80s-990s J-pop feel, usually with very catchy beats. His use of instruments is not limited, but most of his songs have electronic base melodies. Despite the upbeat pop beats, the songs usually have very emotional, often sad lyrics.
Penguins Project solely uses Hatsune Miku for his Vocaloid works, but he has recently started collaborating with utaite/singers for their works. His Miku is tuned to sound clear without even a shiver in her voice, with wonderful diction and high range. He has collaborated with singers like Ritsuka and ℃iel.
You can read a long but interesting interview of Penguins Project here. It includes his inspiration for his musical styles, his favorite artists (Pink Floyd!) and his experiences in composing. Site is in Japanese.

Like many others, I first heard of Penguins Project because of "Chocolate Train" and is also one of the first Ps I've encountered when I entered the Vocaloid fandom. I find his songs extremely catchy that even though there aren't many covers for some of them, they still stay stuck. I also like how his songs belong to a single genre, yet they do not sound alike at all. He is also one of the producers I've seen reaching out to foreign fans, which makes him instantly admirable in my book.
