There has been a... shall we say, "DECO*27 hotstreak" when it comes to series-newcoming Hatsune Miku tunes for a while, but this peculiar trend was broken just last week! Delve further to meet the culprit behind it...

???Standing tall on its over-40-Million-views throne between the official YouTube, bilibili and Nicovideo uploads from September 17th last year, the latest Vocaloid-powered work to get ported in Taiko lets us check off another popular producer off the list: Pinocchio-P (ピノキオピー), in activity since 2009.
While the art name might lead to thinking of some sort of homage to Carlo Collodi's wooden puppet and its Italian eponymous fable, the nick's origins actually lie in the title of the artist's very first song 'Hanauta', spelt with the Kanji for both 'Song' (ウタ, 'Uta') and 'Nose' (ハナ). Frequently collaborating with the animator Edielec (エジエレキ), Pinocchio-P's voice banks of choice aside from Miku include Kagamine Rin, GUMI and the infamous Yukkuri voices from Touhou-related meme homegrounds. One peculiar trivia about him is the unique partnership with a Japanese café, the 'Pinocchio-Tei', where all dished and drinks being served there are actually references to the producer's musical works; it's also a hangout place to hear Pinocchio-P's own music, as well as exclusive .waw and .midi clips from his upcoming projects in advance!
Kamippoi na (lit. 'God-ish') is a song that laught and prids in of itself how comparisons to God nowadays can relate even to the most mundane and passerby trends of the ongoing times, with guitar backing being supplied by the nick-named Yaduki. It's also one song to have wandered into music gaming fields in more than just Taiko within its first year of time, with earlier visits to Sega's maimai and bemani gaming with both SOUND VOLTEX and jubeat.
For what concerns the Oni chart of Kamippoi na, you surely won't need any God-like skills to step up its pace, as its Kat-dominant backbeat antics may make people compare this as a somewhat-similar take on Sugar Song to Bitter Step's hardest chart.
