The Kagerou Project, also known as "Kagerou Daze" or "Kagerou Days", is a Japanese mixed-media project. He is the only Vocaloid producer to have 15 songs break the million view barrier on Nico Nico Douga. His songs are popular due to their catchy tunes and thought-provoking lyrics. Much like how Crypton Future Media created and owns Hatsune Miku, 1st Place, to which he is a member, created and owns the Vocaloid IA. Jin mainly uses Hatsune Miku, Aoki Lapis, and IA for his vocals, though in recent years has stopped using Hatsune Miku in favor of IA. One year later, on May 29, 2013, his second album Mekakucity Records debuted at 1st.Īt the end of 2015, Jin performed for a second time at the end-of-year music festival "COUNTDOWN JAPAN 15/16" at Makuhari Messe, Chiba to a crowded hall. For these efforts, Jin was awarded one of the top 5 new artists for the 27th Japanese Gold Disc Awards. His first single, Children Record debuted at 3rd in the Singles charts. On May 30, 2012, his first album Mekakucity Daze was released and debuted at 6th place on the Oricon Weekly charts.

In 2012, Jin released a short novel titled Kagerou Daze -in a daze- which he had written. He also announced the Kagerou Project, for which he wrote the lyrics and associated story. Jin's producer name, "Natural Enemy P" (自然の敵P, Shizen no Teki P) comes from this song. In 2011, Jin released his first original song featuring Hatsune Miku, Artificial Enemy (人造エネミー, Jinzou Enemy), on Niconico. Since then, he has now become proficient in guitar and has a Fender Stratocaster and Gibson SG for use in his music. After being influenced by his uncle, he started playing the keyboard at the age of 6. Jin was born in Rishiri Island, Hokkaido, Japan. He is currently affiliated with 1st PLACE.
