I apologize for being late with this.


MamomoP (まももP)

mylist | piapro | blog

MamomoP is not a well-known composer. S/he started uploading songs at the latter part of 2009 and has been steadily uploading until now. S/he is mostly known for his/her soft-note ballads with tendencies to have a slow rise or climax at the second verse.

S/he writes mostly ballads with various instruments like piano, violin, organ, chimes, and nature music (birds tweeting, etc.). His/her songs are almost always very gentle and poignant, with great emphasis on the atmosphere of the song based on the title. For example, "Staying Indoors" is a quiet song insinuating the solitary atmosphere in the house. "Natsu to Himawari to Mugiwara Boushi", which means "Summer, Sunflowers, and Straw Hat" had a feeling of outdoors, with crickets chirping and an airy rhythm. His/her songs are very easy on the ears and are nice to listen to if you want a break from the usual pop, rock and screamo music.

sample songs
• Staying Indoors (Miku)
• Aldebaran (Miku)
• Yuu (GUMI)
• Natsu to Himawari to Mugiwara Boushi (GUMI)
• Shinkai (Miku)

I admit I knew of MamomoP a little late, with his/her "Natsu to Himawari to Mugiwara Boushi" which was part of the GUMI birthday bash last July. I loved it so much and I searched for the producers other works, which were equally wonderful. I like the "quietness" of the songs s/he writes, whether they're happy or sad. The piano parts and the very soft orchestra bits are really nice, too. Even if I don't get the lyrics in one go (there's still the translating and all that), the overall setting of each of his/her song is clear and embedded in the music itself.

For a proper intro, please read the Miku ranking here. You might be wondering why I jumped to the GUMI ranking. I'm playing favorites :D. ANYWAYYYY... GUMI only has 90 songs, so it's a little easier for me...I think.

So far, this and the annual rankings are the only ones I type in reverse order (from 100-1) so that it'd be more exciting :). If you want me to do the midyear/annual rankings in the traditional way (the 1-xx order), just tell me :).

You might notice that some of the titles/P names are still in Japanese. It's because I'm not sure how to romanize them correctly.
