NatsuP is a Vocaloid producer. She is part of SCL (Seven Color Light) Project, which is a group consisting of her as producer, haku as guitarist, haruaki as illustrator and PV-maker, and sakura michii as adviser, illustrator and singer. SCL Project is essentially involved with NatsuP's Vanan'ice works, but not with her other works. NatsuP is a self-proclaimed otaku and finds comfort in front of her computer. She likes hair-raising songs, pretty things, smart people, gamers, appliance stores, record stores, bookstores, and curry. She also loves her dog very much.
NatsuP's name is always attached to her Vanan'Ice projects (Imitation Black, Fate:Stay Rebirth, Setsugetsuka) which are all rockish songs. But before that, she has actually composed a lot of songs which are slower, sweeter and less dark. Her first works are mostly piano ballads for Miku. Then she moved on to Gakupo and went a little crazier and crackier. She has also used Luka in less popular works. At one point, she also used GUMI. At this point, she has 20+ songs in her collection, including remakes but excluding collaborations with other producers.
Her music is hard to define, to be honest, especially since she started with ballads. She has no constant melody or music genre, although she's usually leaning towards fast alternative or rock songs. She uses a wide variety of instrument sounds, too. Despite the fact that she writes a lot of crack, I like them because unlike those usual aspiring funny songs which are usually moe/cutesy pop in nature, natsuP's brand of crack songs is presented with catchy rock beats. Her generous use of dramatic piano and violin music in her songs is also a plus as well as one of the reasons why her visual-kei Vanan'ice is insanely popular.
Her Vocaloids are usually well-tuned. Her Miku was sounds really lovely in her ballads, and is probably the best sounding of her Vocaloids. Her Luka is a bit shaky, but has nice breathy sounds. Her Gakupo is a bit too high at times, but I think he matches her songs perfectly. I do think that her Kaito's still a little shaky, as you can observe in the Vanan'ice songs, but matching with Gakupo's vocal swagger and Len's shota voice, it's negligible. I think one good point about natsuP's vocaloids is that she pairs them well with the songs. Miku for ballads and light pop, Luka for the sexier themed, Gakupo for crack, operatic, rock-y songs, GUMI for pop/alternative, and Kaito and Len for rock. But then again, if she can make them talk like hosts in radio shows and people can understand them, there is little question about her tuning.
