Kanaria

Browse piano sheets by Kanaria on Zen Virtual Piano. Kanaria is a Vocaloid producer, and the song Hyakkisai (百鬼祭) was published on YouTube and Niconico. On Niconico it passed 100,000 plays and became Kanaria's first Hall of Fame song. Kanaria was a 17-year-old attending a correspondence high school at the time. Early songs such as Hyakkisai were made with equipment bought from part-time wages. The Hall of Fame result and the equipment bought from part-time wages may suggest that a song made with self-funded gear could still pass 100,000 plays. The correspondence school was apparently chosen because it left more free time than a full-day high school, time that could go to music and part-time work. In a later stream, Kanaria said that DTM work began only after entering high school. The name Kanaria has no particular meaning: it does not come from keeping a canary, and it was settled when inspiration arrived suddenly. The free time of a correspondence school and the start of DTM work after entering high school may point to the high school years as the period when Kanaria's music-making took shape. KING, the second song Kanaria released, went past 100 million plays on YouTube. It came out on 2 August 2020, uses the Megpoid Vocaloid, and has a music video illustrated by Nou. On the 7 May 2021 broadcast of Music Station, Kanaria was introduced as a next break artist. Eimika Katsuya called KING "a dark song with an absurd string of words" whose lyrics have "a pleasant rhyme that makes it addictive." The Megpoid Vocaloid voice on KING and Kanaria's own singing on Dainōteki-na Rendezvous may suggest that Kanaria's releases have used both a Vocaloid bank and a human voice. 酔いどれ知らず ranked first in the 2023 Karatetsu annual Vocaloid karaoke ranking. Kanaria wrote, composed and arranged Domestic De Violence on Ado's 2022 debut album Kyōgen. Kanaria sang for himself rather than using a Vocaloid bank on Dainōteki-na Rendezvous, released in November 2022 as the ending theme for the Chainsaw Man episode "Kill Denji". Requiem, a collaboration with Hololive VTuber Hoshimachi Suisei, came out in April 2023, and in July 2024 Kanaria wrote Champion, the last song of the Pokémon and Hatsune Miku Project Voltage collaboration. Domestic De Violence on Ado's album and the Requiem collaboration with Hoshimachi Suisei may point to work alongside other performers as well as Kanaria's own releases. Kanaria had worked as a mysterious Vocaloid producer who kept an identity hidden, and impersonators appeared. On 24 August 2024 Kanaria began streaming on YouTube in a Live2D form, with the announcement "Kanaria, speaking". In that first stream Kanaria said it seemed better to step forward and share a personal image, as a way of dealing with impersonators. Streams now include singing, song-making, games and chat, and in September 2024 Kanaria joined VCR Minecraft, followed in December by VCR GTA. The earlier hidden identity and the later VCR Minecraft and VCR GTA appearances may point to a contrast between a concealed producer and a public streamer.
