GingahoumenP started uploading his Vocaloid works in Nico Nico Douga sometime in mid-2010. Since then, he has been actively composing Vocaloid songs and has managed to to upload 16 songs and 2 remakes up to the date of this post's writing. He has first used the name "Taka J-Boy" for his first upload, but he was promptly named "GingahoumenP" in relation to his song "Ginga no Katasumi". In real life, he is also the professional composer Jinno Takashi.
There is really no concrete musical style that Gingahoumen follows. While he mostly composes pop-ish songs, sometimes with rock/folk influences, it's hard to discern similarities or quirks in his songs that reveal his style. He even has a different set of instruments for each song, so you might find yourself listening to orchestraic violin backgrounds at one song and then strong string/drum ensemble in another song. This is a good thing, though, since it means there's a lot of variety in his works and you can be surprised each time he uploads! Most of his songs are upbeat, infused with electronic beats and usually with dexterously sharp guitar playing. It's just a pity that since a large portion of his works are pop in nature, the guitars tend to be muffled instead of echoey.
GingahoumenP mostly uses Hatsune Miku in his works, softened but high-pitched. Despite being high-pitched, Miku doesn't drown out the melody and actually doesn't sound screechy or steely to the ears. Aside from Miku, he has also used GUMI, who was apparently quite hard to use for him, as well as Miki and Iroha. All of these three are tuned remarkably lower and shakier than Miku. Despite that, all of his Vocaloids are known to have wonderfully clear singing even if the songs are sometimes sung with fast lyrics.
GingahoumenP released his first album Milky Way Fantasy during VoM@s 17. Before that, he has released two mini-albums, "WhiteMoon BlackMoon" and "PureTime". He has also participated in the collaboration "Vocaloid from Nico Nico Douga Vocalo Tokkyuu Super Express Compilation 02".
sample songs
• Mugen no Synapse (Miku)
• Tsuki - Kage - Mai - Ka (Miku)
• Kousoku☆Drive (Miki)
• Just Call Your Heart (GUMI)
• SweetKiss♡BitterKiss (Iroha mix)

I really, really, really loved GingahoumenP's Mugen no Synapse when I first saw it in Vocaran, so I decided to check out his other works. Turns out, he will make probably my favorite of his works "Tsukikagemaika", a bit later after I followed him. While I like to follow Ps with a specific genre in mind, I like being surprised by GingahoumenP's choice of styles. The songs I listed above are entirely different from each other and they show you not only how impressive his repertoire is but how creative he is in coming up with works that are varied in style yet undeniably his.
