M4Gi

M4GI (Music For Gifted Idols) is a Virtual YouTuber singing group formed by 5 singers. These 5 idols are affiliated with GxG Vtuber Project as the "Singing Division" primarily focusing on multiple genres of music. This group incorporates glitchy / vocaloid effects inspired by the iconic singer, Hatsune Miku, while using real and authentic voices rather than vocaloid synthesizing. The group was founded by Umi Miho, and had its branding, album covers, and the music created/mixed by Stryker and the Goons alongside the various artists that are currently behind the production of the ongoing GxG Manga Series.

Background
Stryker & Umi had teased the debut of something "big" since the debut of Umi's first cover album (Big Blue Ensemble) earlier in 2023. About 3 weeks before the following Halloween, they announced publicly that M4Gi was coming. And so, on October 31st that same year, Umi and Stryker simultaneously uploaded all 13 songs in separate parts on both their respective channels, they named this newest album "Bizarre Azure Orchestra" and simultaneously debuted with 3 other singers; Lakota Murakami, Gabbi Fae Ragna, & Mayday Mamoe.

Trivia

 * The unique effects heard in M4Gi music is created by adding static effects, microphone interference and overlapping simultaneous notes to create an electronic and vocaloid-type. They've coined this as the "Umi Filter" due to it appearing in Umi's music after her original debut album.
 * M4Gi is named "Music For Gifted Idols" due to its target demographic consisting of idols in the virtual youtuber space.
 * The way "M4GI" is spelled is inspired by the logos made by popular Korean pop groups, such as; TWICE, BlackPink, U-KISS, & BTS
 * Out of the current 5 members, the member able to hit the highest note is Umi Miho.
 * Out of the current female members, the member able to hit the lowest notes.is Gabbi Fae Ragna.
 * Out of all the current M4Gi members, the member able to hit the overall lowest notes is Stryker.
 * Mayday's filter uses twice the interference to apply a "cavelike" effect to her vocals, due to her being a Mammoth.
 * Out of all the songs on the album, it was stated that the easiest song to create "What I'm Made Of" (due to its gravely tone commonly seen in early 2000s rock songs), while the hardest (Taking an estimated 156 takes ) was "Kick Back", This is due to Stryker's inability to speak fluent Japanese.
 * The first original song created by M4Gi was a dubstep mix called "M4Gi M4Gi Go!". This song was produced by Crosseyed (aka Neef Noof) who made the entire song from scratch.
 * All M4Gi members tweeted out the phrase "Magicis Animatum Gloriosus Idolorum" which translates to "Magic Animate Glorious Idol" which likely alluded to the debut of M4Gi, and defaults a secondary meaning to the name.
