M4Gi

M4GI (Music For Gifted Idols) is a virtual youtuber singing group formed by 5 singers. These 5 idols are affiliated with the 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.

Album Covers
Out of all the covers made to debut the album, all 5 feature poses referencing the popular anime series "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure". Each cover later appeared as merchandise celebrating the team's debut being a success. The art style is a unique reference to the in the anime "JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 4: Diamond wa Kudakenai'''" (otherwise known as Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable). This style uses''' the same vivid colors, reflective shadows, and featureless faces that appear in the anime's first animated opening "Crazy Noise Bizarre Town".

Trivia
