Biography: Pusu, or better known as Zips, started back in 2012 as a vocaloid music producer. His debut work titled Heisei Cataclysm, which features the vocaloid IA, was first uploaded on December 26, 2012 to Nico Nico Douga and YouTube. The song was a part of a project titled the "Heisei Project(opens in a new tab)", which was a series of songs made and produced by Pusu himself alongside a few others.

Pusu alongside his team would go on to produce 12 songs related to the Heisei Project between 2012 and 2019, with the last being uploaded on April 30, 2019. Two of the songs in the project are technically album exclusives, and thus not canon in the series, so officially there are 10 songs in the series. In their last upload, Pusu under the name Zips, bids farewell to what he calls the "Heisei Era" and thanks the series for what it did to his career as a music producer.

During his "Heisei Era", around early-2015, Pusu would expand on his career as a vocaloid producer, where he would start performing in his own-self produced songs alongside other prominent utaite, or by himself. This would go on until around mid-2019, where he would tweet(opens in a new tab) out on May 21, 2019, that he would formally resign as a singer after his last performance in the song Gekokujou(opens in a new tab), which was uploaded on May 23, 2019.
