"Orangestar", also known as MikanseiP, is a well-known Japanese VOCALOID producer. He was born in August 20, 1997[1] in Miyagi Prefecture.
For the origin of his producer name: as the young musician had always been fond of the word Mikansei (未完成, lit. imperfect), he decided to go for the name Orangestar (蜜柑星, which is read mikansei).[2]
Orangestar's songs are known for their memorable and poetic melodies, and always strongly bear the theme of summer[2]. As described by Orangestar and his illustrator friend M.B, their songs aim to express Christian values in the most simple forms of lyrics and illustrations.[3]
His notable songs include Earphone to Semishigure, Asu no Yozora Shoukaihan, Amekigoe Zankyou, Kuusou Ressha, Alice in Reitouko, and DAYBREAK FRONTLINE. So far, he has released three major albums: Mikansei Eight Beats in April 2015, Mishuuroku OSC in November 2016, and SEASIDE SOLILOQUIES in January 2017.
Orangestar took a break from music activities from 2017 to 2019, during which he served as a missionary in Riverside, California, USA.[4] He announced his return to Japan in December 2019,[5] and has resumed his activities since then.
On December 2020, Orangestar announced his marriage to vocalist Kase (夏背).[6]
