 ====== Artistry ======
-(TENTATIVE)
 Utsu-P, the primary songwriter, stated that the primary reasons for forming the band were for writing more live performance oriented music as well as for allowing his vocaloid music to grow into more experimental ranges that wouldn't fit a live performance as well.\\
-The Ohayogozaimas' music incorporates elements such as harsh vocals, catchy guitar riffs, electronic elements, and intense metalcore sections. The band benefits from Utsu-P's talents as producer to allow a high end produced sound.

-The band's lineup has remained stable, with the only addition being drummer Kojiro Yamazaki joining in 2017. Since Design EP, Utsu-P has said that having a drummer has injected a more "band"-like sound into their music, instead of being almost fully composed by Utsu-P prior to recording. Their songwriting techniques peaked with successive albums, resonating with precision and fluidity, akin to Megadeth's celebrated album, Rust in Peace, acknowledged for its technical brilliance. The band's lyrics mirror Megadeth's themes of death, war, politics, and personal relationships, often exploring nihilistic subjects while occasionally addressing alienation and social issues.

The band's lyrics generally contain uplifting messages, or cover social themes and perspectives as an artist.
-Despite not receiving formal accolades, The Ohayogozaimas' influence extends across the Japanese Metalcore scene. Their most recent album, 'Seishi,' continues to showcase their musical evolution, much like Megadeth's journey through varying musical styles over the years, solidifying their place in the realm of Metalcore.
