lovspcREDALiCE from HARDCORE TANO°C has been the frontrunner of the latest chained Weekend Warriors trend, so why don't have a song from one of his former colleagues for today! This peppy tri-vocal piece is composed by Genki "DJ Genki" Hikota (彦田元気), one fella we've already talked about last year under these lines (link). This, of course, leaves us free range to talk about the trio of singers featured in this song, all making their Taiko no Tatsujin debut at the same time!
First in line we have the nicknamed Nanahira (ななひら) (Twitter; personal blog; SoundCloud; YouTube), born August 31st, 1991 in the Fukui prefecture. This is quite a prolific vocalist that made the big rounds in music gaming with her vocal contributions, most notably with denpa songs. She started out in 2008 as a Vocaloid cover singer on NicoNicoDouga and in the later years, she began producing original works for her own doujin circle -Confetto- as well as partaking in collaborations with a plethora of artists across the years, from other singers (denpa and not) to Touhou Project-oriented circles in the likes of Halozy and IOSYS, with the bulk of her modern collaborations with artists that gravitate around the SOUND VOLTEX music series, including the infamous Camellia (with whom she released several collaboration albums) and HARDCORE TANO°C composers. From cold hits like Yasaimashi☆Ninniku Abuma Oore to many a boss song contribution in the likes of *Feels Seasickness...*, Nanahira's voice eventually paroused into every single active Bemani music game franchise to date (with the exception of Nostalgia, for now), while also having some limelight elsewhere in other arcade music games (including Ongeki among these) as well as a full-out artist collaboration with the mobile music game Muse Dash (link).
Another alias-concealed vocalist is also involved with this Namco Original's creation, and a more attuned one with its composer at that! Born August 13th, Yukacco (personal website; Twitter; SoundCloud) has an extensive vocal collaboration portfolio with several music game artists such as kors k and DJ Shimamura, but by far the greatest collaboration mileage is made of the songs she made with DJ Genki, making the lion's share of her contributions to music gaming with either separate artist credit mentions of the duet aliases of Genki-kun Band (元気くんバンド) and CapsColte. Just like the other two vocalists for today, Yukacco has seen some of her songs from former album releases/collaboration getting ported to music gaming as 'Variety' picks of sorts, like with the song While Shining's port to Taito's Groove Coaster series (link), but once again the bulk of her music-game-original works has to be found among Bemani's music game series, from beatmania IIDX (Shining World) and GITADORA (Lucky☆HappyDAYS) to pop'n music (Unmei no Paradox) and -again- SOUND VOLTEX (Candy Star).
Last in line from this vocalist trio is Nakuru Aitsuki (藍月なくる) (personal website; Twitter; SoundCloud; YouTube), one J-Pop/rock singer whose talent was also employed for select voice works for smaller VA projects. Like Yukacco, she's often making collaboration pieces with one artist over a rich portfolio of cameos, with said artist being the nicknamed sky_delta for the vocal songs that go signed by the act name of Endorfin. Nakuru Aitsuki's voice is heard among Bemani series in MÚSECA (Replica), Nostalgia (My dear child, mother's arm) and as a contest-winning star in both the pop'n music (white night story) and SOUND VOLTEX series (Four Leaves). Love♡Spice♡Like You!!! is not the only DJ Genki song starring Nakuru Aitsuki, Yukacco and Nanahira together, as two more songs for Konami music gaming preceed this contribution-based feat: GITADORA Matixx's Yumeiro☆Spiral!!!! and jubeat festo's Koi no Reset Game!!!!.
