A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

In May 2025, a fresh breeze is sweeping through the music scene.

From electro-pop born out of hololive to heartwarming city pop and message-driven songs that resonate with the soul, an astonishing variety of tracks has emerged.

From addictive numbers that poppily sing about glitches in love to warm songs reflecting on youth, each piece radiates its own unique charm.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the works of these richly individual artists.

You’re sure to find a song that strikes a chord in your heart!

Mr.

Nishiyama Daddy Daddy, who’s currently making waves with a uniquely addictive performance style.

His signature chant, “Dosukoi Wasshoi People-People,” and distinctive dance have captivated audiences around the world, and his debut music release arrived in April 2025.

The track is an exhilarating dance tune where piano phrases, claps, and sub-bass intertwine to perfection.

Nishiyama takes on rapping for the first time, building the song around his hallmark “Daddy Daddy” call, resulting in an irresistible groove that makes listeners want to move.

Born from the entertainment style he honed at the members-only bar GIFT Roppongi, this piece elevates that spirit directly into music.

Ideal for lighting up parties and clubs, this track is recommended for anyone seeking a surge of positive energy.
