Neru

**Neru** is a producer whose works are mainly rock, heavy metal, or EDM; and mainly uses Len and Rin.

His music and lyrics often speak to people and allow them to see another unique view of the world. In many cases, the lyrics to his songs are somewhat dark.

His notable songs include "Tokyo Teddy Bear", his first song to reach 1,000,000 views; "Lost One's Weeping"; "Law-evading Rock"; and "Whatever whatever whatever".

His -P name, Oshiire-P, comes from a comment Neru made, "I used Kagamine Rin / Len while I was sleeping in the closet." "Closet" (Oshiire) later became his P name, although he mainly uses "Neru" in his songs or video descriptions.
