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.

Pinocchiop - Apocalypse Now feat. Hatsune Miku

Apocalypse nowPinokio P

A work that fuses humor and cynicism to sing the praises of being “ordinary.” PinocchioP’s track “Apocalypse Now” was released in August 2023.

You’ll be drawn in by its sound arrangement, which blends pop appeal with an eerie edge.

The melody and lyrics are quintessential PinocchioP.

It’s a refreshingly sharp Vocaloid song that slices through today’s obsession with extreme behavior and radical ideas.

You’re left feeling strangely good after listening.

Ultra ProtagonistPinokio P

PinocchioP – Super Superhero feat. Hatsune Miku / Super Superhero

Ultra ProtagonistPinokio P

A cynical piece that satirizes the rampage of a self-centered personality.

It’s a track by PinocchioP, released in February 2025.

Messages like indifference toward the weak, self-absorption, and exclusion of others fuse with a distinctive sound.

In the lyrics, a person who levels up like a game protagonist ironically finds themselves becoming a final-boss-like figure before they know it.

I can’t get enough of this pop yet poisonous vibe.

It’s a Vocaloid song that seems to question how we should exist in the present.

If you like Japanese-style rock, make sure to check this out! It’s a work by Hifumi, the creator of “Because the Flowers Fell” and “Budding Heart,” released in March 2023.

It’s a light yet heartrending breakup song that sings of lingering feelings for a former lover.

The melody is catchy, so the part that recalls sharing an umbrella vividly brings the scene to mind.

The chorus makes you want to sing along yourself.

In other words, it’s also a great pick for cover videos and the like!
