balloon (バルーン), also known by his name Suda Keina (須田景凪), is a VOCALOID producer who is known for his popular utattemita songs for flower, "Kabin ni Fureta" and "Charles". He got more attention after making self-covers for his own songs, making him be considered an utaite. His self-covers including the song Charles with over 760k views after 2 months and a half, even has more views than its VOCALOID version, helping prompt him be an official artist under Warner Music Group. He is more active as a soloist currently, but he still releases VOCALOID songs and self-covers, the last being Nomad in 2022.
He has a laid-back, calm and confident voice, fitting well with his own fast, catchy songs. Those covers were released as bonus tracks in his VOCALOID albums. His voice is also bright and well suited to rock as he can reach high notes easily, but he can also sing ballads well thanks to the fact that he does self-covers of his own work that he composed and wrote the lyrics for, so he knows how to sing them to express their intended emotion.
