SuzukiP / すずきＰ

| mylist | piapro | homepage | blog |

SuzukiP is a rather popular VocaloidP who was once a prominent and prolific uploader, starting as earlyas 2008. You might know him as the composer of the famous Kagamine Rin and Len song siGrE. His P name came from a revision of his handlename in Nico Nico Douga, which us ssuzukki. He is also part of the doujin circle Heliodor Recordings.

Suzuki has spawned a number of genres with his numerous songs, mostly pop rock, fantasy rock techno and folk/traditional inspired by traditional Japanese and Arabian themes. His melodies are known for starting with a showy, intricate intro and a fabulous instrumentation all throughout the song. He uses a lot of guitars in his songs, with prominent bass and subtle piano in the background. While he has touched a lot of styles, SuzukiP's music remain recognizable as he always use a certain rhythm which is common to all his songs (you might recognize his other songs if you have listened to siGrE). His songs often have a story, and some of them contain quotes from various literary works of authors like Saitou Ryoukuu and Sato Haruo. These authors are known for their romanticism and elaborate plots, which probably might've inspired SuzukiP's tendency to choose similar song themes. However, despite his fantastical song themes, SuzukiP sometimes also uses a bit of humor in some of his works. He also likes covering his own works using other Vocaloids.

He has used many Vocaloids in his songs including Hatsune Miku, Megurine Luka, Kagamine Rin and Len, Gakupo and GUMI. He was known for tuning Gakupo at a high pitch, thus making people call his Gakupo "Gakuko" (female!Gakupo) sometimes. This gave birth to the Gakupo/Gakuko unit "Camuiz". He is also known for sometimes using the Kagamines to speak/sing in Hiroshima dialect. All his Vocaloids are tuned quite low, but can reach super high notes at accelerandos or song climaxes. They also have SuzukiP's signature shakiness as well as the tendency for their voices to do a little upward curl at the end of the sung lines.

As a prominent producer, he has released and took part in a number of albums. His own albums include "Camuiz" and "Carmina Machina". He also took part in albums such as "DEBUTANTE V", "EXIT TUNES Presents Vocalocluster", the EXIT TUNES Gakupo specials and "Sequence".

As I was late into the Vocaloid fandom, I only knew of SuzukiP when he uploaded SiGrE, which has become one of my favorite Kagamine songs. Also, as someone who's not much of a Gakupo fan, I'm very choosy with Gakupo songs, and I found that SuzukiP is one of those P who encouraged me to like Gakupo, especially with the song "Carmina Machina". I looove his melodies (I have this thing for fantasy rock music) and his tuning amuses me because it's so distinct. He's not as active as before, and it's a pity, but every now and then it's nice hearing awesome songs from him, like that recent Luka song "Majo".

For a proper intro, please read the Miku ranking here. The duet/group/outsider ranking has only 95 songs, which is sad. By outsider, BTW, they mean those Vocaloids who aren't Miku, Len/Rin, KAITO, MEIKO, Luka, GUMI, Gakupo, Miki, Kiyoteru and Yuki as well as UTAU.

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 :).
