Early Life

[edit]

Mitchie M began learning piano at age six. He attended Wako International High School (埼玉県立和光国際高等学校), where he played in bands and developed an interest in desktop music (DTM). During this time, he also began studying music production and music theory.[1] Eventually, he attended college and majored in mechanical engineering, but decided that he wasn't suited for it and transitioned into the music industry. He got his start in the industry by using his older brother's computer to create songs.[2] He was first introduced to Vocaloid through an advertisement for the Vocaloid Meiko. Although he thought it would be too difficult to implement into a song and that the voice would sound too robotic, he recognized that the software could be used for parts such as choruses and simple sections.[3] In 2011, due to the effects of the Lehman Shock and the Great East Japan Earthquake, finding commissions and creating music became difficult. As a result, Mitchie M had decided to try Vocaloid.[2] He initially debated between Hatsune Miku and Megurine Luka, but ultimately chose Hatsune Miku due to her popularity, while he thought Megurine Luka better fit his style.[3]

Career

[edit]

On July 15, 2011, Mitchie M uploaded his first song to the Japanese video-sharing website Niconico Douga titled cosmic ballad, which stated in the description that it was a practice piece and an attempt to make the Vocaloid Hatsune Miku sing realistically. Later, on July 31st, he uploaded his second song FREELY TOMMOROW, which, upon released, became the fastest Vocaloid song to reach one million views on Niconico, taking only 20 days, 6 hours, and 4 minutes (the fastest record at the time).[1][7][3][4] Since then, he has released the albums Greatest Idol (グレイテスト・アイドル) (2013) and Virtual Popstar (バーチャル・ポップスター) (2019) under Warner Music Japan. He has collaborated with Crypton Future Media for multiple projects, including their Gundam collaboration and Project Voltage, has also written and produced the song All Night Radio by Japanese singer Ado.[5][7][8]
