Producer Spotlight: Yuxuki

Yuxuki

Yuxuki's works are actually under the name of his group "Sorairo Club" which includes him as the composer and two others as musician and PV-maker. They started uploading their works around April 2009. For the purpose of this post, I'll be using Yuxuki's name instead of the group's. :).

Yuxuki's songs are almost similar to U-skeP's, except that Yuxuki uses guitars and drums in his works and has more upbeat and more alternative rock-ish songs. I won't classify Yuxuki's songs as sugar pop, since they're too varied, but all of them somehow sound so soft and gentle and nice to listen to. His songs have this serene feeling to them, despite the guitars and snappy drums. Yuxuki uses Miku for all of his works, and even if not an Append (as noted), his Miku sounds smooth and clear, not ringing but more of breathy.

Composition aside, the PVs for Sorairo Club's songs are very colorful and cute regardless of the meanings of the songs. So, it's also a pleasure to watch the PVs.

I first heard of Sorairo Club/yuxuki in their song "oval" and I instantly fell in love with their works. I like how they manage to make Miku sound nice to the ears even if the song is high. The guitars might sound a bit too loud at times, though and it drowns Miku's wonderful tuning out. Despite that, their songs are nice to listen to if you want upbeat, alternative songs minus the hard/edgy vocals. The PVs are also adorable and a must-watch. (especially "color", gah those pinwheels I can't stop staring).

Ooo! The first song I heard from them was "oval" too. The PV was really cute and I like how they tuned Miku. :)

I just got into Yuxuki's songs after you recommended his Sorairo ClubxChibita album. I bought it on iTunes out of curiosity and it's become one of my favorite albums! His songs create such a nice atmosphere, soothing and upbeat at the same time. I really like the instrumentation and it's really easy on the ears and sounds so clean. My favorite songs are color, soda, and Stellar Place. I love the original vocaloid versions, but I'm still biased towards Chibita's covers.

I bought Light Falls from Vom@s, I can't wait until it arrives so I can listen to it >w< the crossfade sounded so great!!
