“Tsukiuta” is a series of CDs released for each month under Tsukino Talent Production since December 2012 and keep counting until now. Each CD features female and male seiyuu, acting out specific roles/characters in collaboration with one Vocaloid producer. It contains an original song, rearranged song, and mini-drama. The names of the characters and the themes of the CD are also based on the month it is released. For every month in the year, there are two representatives, one male and one female, accompanied with an assigned Vocaloid producer. The characters are further divided into four different units: two all-male units, and two all-female units. It should be noted that the male and female representatives are exist in two different dimensions, but do interact often. Let’s get closer to Tsukiuta members!

Six Gravity (December – May)
In a certain place of present-day Japan’s Tokyo Metropolitan area 23 ward, live these characters. These characters, who have different ages, living areas, and environments, were scouted by TSUKINO public entertainment production’s producer after being led by the gigantic black rabbit, Kuroda. They’ve debuted as the idol unit “Six Gravity” and are currently doing well in sales! Six Gravity’s manager is Kanade Tsukishiro.
