こんにちは！
Hellos and welcome, dear readers!

活動内容：音楽製作者さん？
Type of Activity: Doujin Music Creator/Producer?
コメント：多分長く同人音楽活動をしてらっしゃる方（間違ってたらすみません！）
色んな作曲家作詞家ボーカル演奏者さんたちと
幻想的な世界観を生み出す曲をたくさん作られてます
制作内容はCDやネットで販売されているので
こちらで紹介するのはYouTubeの宣伝動画です
Comments:
They're a self-publishing doujin music creator and from what I can gather, seem to have been doing it for a pretty long time. They work with many utaite and doujin composers and instrument players to create doujin albums. I think they used to do mostly CD's but now they're making their music available for purchase online as well.
Since they sell their music, the video they put up are promotional clips.

一日一＠ボカロP / Hajime Tuitati
https://twitter.com/Hajime_Tuitati
活動内容：ボカロＰさん
Type of Activity: Vocaloid Producer
コメント：ネタ曲からほっこりからかっこいい曲作られるボカロPさん
他ではあまり聞かないミクちゃんの雰囲気がします
個人的お気に入りは去年のクリスマス動画、
曲内容と動画の中身が面白くて(笑)
夏はほっこりする雰囲気の動画を２本出してて
直近はめちゃくちゃ神がかった動画出してました！！
（文字通り！？）
Comments: They do light-hearted to rock and all sorts of music. I'm none too familiar with different music genres so I don't really know the correct terms, but I can safely say that they do a pretty big range of stuff even though they've only been doing it for barely over a year. Their last year's Christmas song was low-key funny while the song right before that was low-key sad, and the one that they just came out recently was totally badass. (See? I don't know music terminology xD)
Oh, and the one they came out later this summer I sometimes listen to fall asleep to because the sounds are so relaxing and gentle, which you can't imagine from the below video which got traditional Japanese vibes while being low-key sci-fi. Oh, and the drums are pretty cool in this one. Highly recommend!

おやつたべたい / Oyatu Tabetai

活動内容：VSingerさん・・・？
Type of Activity: VSinger...?
コメント：Vtuberになるのか、ちょっと判定が難しいところ（笑）
録画するときに頭を好きな動物に変えてくれる
iPhone専用アプリ（アニ文字）を使われて
歌って踊ってらっしゃってます！
たまにコントや物まねも！
紹介動画は最新の、心温まる曲ですが
他にもるろうに剣心のようなかっこいい曲も
歌ってみた動画あげててお勧めです！
Comments: Kind of hard to categorize.. lol Not exactly a vtuber or a vsinger because they're not a v but their head is an animal, so what would you call them? xD They use that iPhone specific app that can record you and turn your head into an animal of your choice. (I'd love to use it but I'm not an iPhone user, unfortunately!)
They do mostly YouTube shorts, but they periodically do full length videos as well. The one I'm listing is their latest one which is very sweet and gentle, but I also highly recommend going to their website to check out their Kenshin cover as well!

Slothington
https://twitter.com/slothington404
活動内容：英語圏Vsingerさん
Type of Activity: Youtaite
コメント：英語圏の歌ってみた界隈で活動されてる方
YouTubeで活動するutaiteをもじって
"youtaite" と呼ぶらしいのですが、
youtaiteさんたちはコラボが基本みたいで
いつも素敵なコラボ動画をあげてらっしゃいます
動画はご本人作のイラストがポイントです！！
Comments: One of the very few, if not the only, youtaite people I know. xD I'd like to jump into the youtaite world, but I mostly see collabs which kind of makes me shy away because all I can do is sing and not much else... lol So I look up to Slothington because they're so proactive with all the collabs they're doing! Not to mention their powerful voice and awesome illustrations that they do! <3

Nobbu
活動内容：ベーシストさん
Type of Activity: Bass player
コメント：積極的にライブ活動をされている綺麗なお姉さん！
音楽界隈の活動者さんって
ネットがメインの方とライブがメインの方
がいらっしゃいますが、Nobbuさんは
ライブよりの方ですのでバンド活動されていて
ベーシストさんが必要な場合はぜひお声かけを！
とてもかっこいいベース弾かれてます！！
Comments: A very lovely bass player who enjoys doing live gigs.
I know nothing at all about basses or any electronic instruments but what they do looks cool and fun! Not to mention I love the way they dress! lol
They upload some videos of them playing but their main focus isn't being a YouTuber, so the videos are more like samples of what they can do as a bass player. If you're in Japan and are in need of a bass player, you could try reaching out to them! :)

ゆめあまね / Yume-ama-ne

前向きな活動者さんです！
Comments: Not sure exactly what category to put them under. Their main activity is joining various voice acting projects on the Internet, but they also sing and create awesome videos using MMD. So if you're looking for a Japanese voice actor, you can definitely go check them out! And do go check out their more recent videos as they're pretty neat!

Comments: A pair of songwriters who are constantly creating new music. They seem to be constantly on the look out for femal vocalists to sing their songs for them. The below video is the instrumental version, but they have a link n the video description to the vocal version which is uploaded on the vocalist's channel, I believe. Check them out if you're interested in neat original music!

Comments: They're a Japanese writer fluent in English living in the U.S. I included them in my list because they have been uploading interviews in English of various writers which are pretty interesting.

すとういん / Sutowin

Type of Activity: Vocaloid Producer
コメント：熱い展開の曲とボカロ愛溢れるボカロＰさんです！

イメージされた曲だったので、とにかく
めちゃくちゃ熱い曲の印象が強いです（笑）
もちろん熱いだけではなく最新のミクちゃんの曲
なんて特にしんみりしたりと、色々な曲調の
ボカロ曲を作られてます！
Comments: A Vocaloid producer who uses a variety of vocaloids and other voice synthesizers. Their songs have a great 80's feel to them, so anyone growing up around that time, you should go check them out! They have English translations of the lyrics in the CC on their YouTube channel videos, and the translations are susprisingly good, so you can enjoy the songs and their meanings!

チャンネル登録者数がいらっしゃると言う！！
ゲーム配信、雑談配信、歌枠配信など
これでもかってぐらいVTuber活動されてます
でも個人的には歌ってみた動画が一押しで
その中でも「悪魔の子」お薦めです！！
Comments: They just started first half of 2023, I think and they already have over 160K YouTube suscribers! They live stream singing, games, and just random convos, but I became a stan because of their powerful singing voice. I especially LOVE the first two covers they have on their channel, one of Demon Slayer and one of Attack on Titans. I'm totally their stan! <3

とても安定した歌唱力の上に熱さがのっていて
とてもロックな歌い手さんです！
Comments: They started out in July as a utaite and just this past week became a VSinger! A new and upcoming VSinger that's got power, great rhythm and pitch control! I watched a couple of their live streaming and they're very good. HIGHLY recommend!!

とても可愛らしいミクちゃんの調声なのに
熱くてロックな曲調のギャップが
とても格好良くて特徴なボカロＰさん！
9月のイベントで英訳カバーさせていただきました！
個人的にギターがかっこいい音してるボカロＰさんです！
Comments: Came to know them through a project I participated back in early September on X, formerly known as Twitter. What I find interesting is the gap between the high sweetness of Miku versus the heavy rock (metal-ish?) instrumental. Their guitar part is awesome too! Go check them out if you like rock Miku!

コメント：MIXや音楽制作メインの方だけど歌声が綺麗でかっこいい方！

MIXの良し悪しって実はあんまり（と言うか全然？）
わからないのですが、シオリさんの音は
好きだっ！！って思いました！！
更にとても気持ちよく通るお声をされているので
この方の歌ってみたも大好きです♪
Comments: I forgot exactly how I found them, but the first thin I knew about them was that they MIX. So I went to give them a listen and I was astounded by the clarify of their MIX. I loved the sound! (Eveen though really, I don't know much about MIXing lol) And then to my surprise I listened to their covers and fell in love with their voice as well! I have their cover video below, but they also have their original song on their channel, so please go check them out! Another highly recommend channel!
I mean c'mon, they're covering niki's Lily song!!!

リズミカルなビートが特徴的です！
Comments: Another person I met through a project on X, formerly known as Twitter. This time for a Christmas event. They do very charming and adorable Miku and rhythmical songs. Check out their channel if you like the Miku in below video!

kotri（ことり）
活動内容：演奏者さん？
Type of Activity: Pianist? Guitarist??
コメント：夜更かしリデルさんとコラボされていてそこで知りました
ピアノめちゃんこお上手です！！！！
定期的にピアノ生演奏配信されているようで
そのときピアノを軽く弾きながら
お話されたりしてまるでジャズバーに
いるみたいです（ジャズバー行ったことないけど！）
ボカロ曲のジャズアレンジとかもしぶいですし
とにかくピアノ凄い！！と思ってファンになりました
Comments: Someone I discovered because they were doing a collab with VSinger Rideru whom I listed earlier. I'm not exactly sure of the entire scope of their activities - piano, guitar, composing?? - but I totally fell in love with their piano!! It looks like on their YouTUbe channel they mostly do/did piano streaming. I gave a few of them a listen, and I love their arrangements, I love the sound of their piano, and I don't even really like pianos much. lol So please give them a listen, especially if you're into jazzy arrangements!

タカペンはめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです（笑）
Hope you enjoyed them! I sure had loads of fun listening to them all over again! :D
