Kairiki Bear (かいりきベア) is a Japanese VOCALOID producer, guitarist, and songwriter who debuted in June 2011 with the song "Wakare no Oto." His music is characterized by fast-paced melodies and stuttered lyrics. His producer name is derived from a monster in the video game MOTHER 2 (EarthBound). He primarily utilizes Hatsune Miku, flower, and GUMI.
Kairiki Bear has their known style from their music videos have been defined by a black-and-white central character set against vivid, colorful backgrounds, a visual style illustrated by Nou. Although these illustrations are mostly still images, they often include subtle animations, such as the characters blinking or sometimes open their eyes whenver they are closed, which gives them a sense of being alive within the music videos.
Prior to this, his older music videos since his debut did not follow a consistent aesthetic. Until 2014 his first collaboration with Nou was for the song "Dream Killer", though it did not yet feature the now-iconic illustration style. The first alleged signs of this aesthetic appeared in "Aisowarai", though the artwork for that song was created by tarbo rather than Nou. It was not until the release of "Shippaisaku Shoujo" that Kairiki Bear fully adopted his recognizable visual style in collaboration with Nou, this additionally become their first hit song.
In addition to his musical identity, Kairiki Bear introduced a personalized "persona" with the release of "Iya Girl", The character featured in the song's illustration, also created by Nou, became a recognizable figure associated with Kairiki Bear's branding. This girl with also the iocnic bear hoodie has since appeared in several of Kairiki Bear’s recent music videos, reinforcing her presence within his works.
In December 2022, he launched "RetBear" (レトベア), a music unit project featuring Kairiki Bear and Anonymous Vocalists. Over time, Nou has become an officially associated illustrator for Kairiki Bear, contributing to the consistent visual identity of his music.
Notable works by this producer include "Bug", "Venom", "Darling Dance", "Alkali Rettousei", etc.
