Career

In 2009, Giga began uploading vocaloid music on the Japanese video website Niconico, first uploading an original composition in 2010. His first original song to hit one million views was "Gigantic O.T.N" in 2012. [3] [4] With "Hibikase" in 2014, he helped pioneer vocaloid electronic dance music. [5] Giga frequently collaborated with singer-songwriter Reol and video creator Okiku, and they self-published the albums No title+ and No title- in 2014. [6] [7]

In 2016, Giga, Reol, and Okiku formed the musical unit REOL under Toy's Factory and released the album Sigma. After the group disbanded in 2017, Giga returned to vocaloid music. [3] [8]

In 2018, Giga released "BRING IT ON" for the vocaloid event Magical Mirai as a theme song for the 10th anniversary of Kagamine Rin and Kagamine Len. [9] In 2020, he and vocaloid producer Mitchie M composed "Wah Wah World", a theme song of Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage!. Giga also composed "Ready Steady" for the in-game musical unit Vivid BAD SQUAD. [10]

In 2021, he began collaborating with music producer TeddyLoid. Their first major song together was "Odo", a single for Ado. Their other collaborations include "The Struggle is Real" (feat. Meme Tokyo), "KIKIKAIKAI" (feat. Yuzu), "Let's End the World" (feat. Mori Calliope), "Show" (also feat. Ado), “Clutch” (feat. Irregular Dice), "Let Me Battle" (feat. 9Lana), "Go-Getters" (also featuring Mori Calliope), "ULTRA C" (feat. Vivid BAD SQUAD), "Knock It Out!" (feat. Amane Kanata), "POW POW" (feat. ELSEE), "Upboomboom" (feat. MYERA), and “Awake” (feat. Hoshimachi Suisei). They consider themselves to have opposite strengths, with Giga composing delicate melodies and precise tracks and Teddyloid composing dynamic sounds over a wide range of genres. [11]

Musical style

Giga composes fast-paced and energetic music with rap and heavy bass. [3]

Giga first used FL studio as his digital audio workstation and later switched to Ableton Live to work with TeddyLoid. [12] He mainly uses the vocaloids Kagamine Rin & Ren, and also uses Hatsune Miku, Megurine Luka, GUMI, and IA. [13] [4]
