ShippuP or Masakuni started early as a Vocaloid composer, releasing fairly successful works since his debut in March 2009. He is mostly known for his work Genzai to Mirai no Dilemma featuring alternating voices of Miku Append. His name "Shippu" means strong winds.
He is probably one of the more interesting Ps I've encountered because of two things. The first one is that his genre is the most popular genre in Vocaloid-dom: rock. However, his style of rock is so distinct, you can't compare it to other rock works -- heck, you can't even compare one of his songs to another one XD. Each of his songs seems thoughtfully written, with a unique melody, beat, arrangement--even a different tuning of Vocaloids each time. Rock as a genre is too wide, and ShippuP's works bridges between rock 'n roll and hard rock. His songs are either dance-worthy like 60's rock and roll, with a slide of wonderful piano-playing, or hard rock with strong guitars, electronic beats and a dash of glam.
The second reason his works are so interesting is because of his tuning. Usually, Miku in rock songs would be tuned with a solid and sharp tone, following the song's crescendo until her voice is really high. However, ShippuP tries to tune his Vocaloids very low to the point of grating. This might sound bad in some songs, especially since a very low tune means also an unstable voice, but ShippuP manages to keep his Vocaloids' diction clear and solid, which makes him a bit different from what we're used to. He uses Miku and Luka in his works, both of them tuned very low with slightly lilting tones.
sample songs
• Negative Positive Cycle (Miku)
• Ai to Shin (Miku)
• Only a Little (Miku)
• Between The Real and Fairy Tale (Luka)
• Utsusemi no Koe

I started following ShippuP late, just after his release of that epic "Genzai to Mirai no Dilemma" song. I was very interested as to why he likes tuning his Vocaloids low so I explored his mylist and liked what I heard. I especially like his rock and roll songs (like Ai to Shin) because they sound so upbeat. His more rock-ish songs remind me of NatsuP and Machigerita songs for some reason, probably because of the grand way each song was presented. My favorite song of his would probably be "Only a Little", because the piano instrumental in the middle just kills me with happiness.
