paraokaparaoka is a well-known Japanese doujin artist who has produced tracks for years, focusing primarily on the Denpa and J-Pop genres.
Many of his songs have been charted in various rhythm games and he was a prolific BMS composer as well.
He has collaborated as a part of the Diverse System circle and Koujimachi Yousankan/Koujimachi-ongen with haru*nya.
Many of his works as part of Koujimachi Yousankan have been mapped and ranked in osu! and they have held up well for a long time (
Dreadnought,
Manima ni,
petal-go-round,
Rampage,
ponytail)
It would be very nice to see him as a Featured Artist in osu! after all these years.

He has worked with Yoshiharu Kato under the name Electro.muster (

nmknmk is a producer primarily focused on Eurobeat and Touhou doujin works. He has worked on BMS tracks (notably
sola which has 4 ranked maps) and has produced under many Touhou circles (EastNewSound, SPACELECTRO, SuganoMusic).
His music is highly fitting for rhythm games and it would be interesting to see more of his works be exposed to a larger audience and elaborated on by the community's beatmaps; I believe he should be considered for being a Featured Artist.

DJ CommandDJ Command is a Eurobeat producer who is well-experienced with Touhou doujin music and rhythm game soundtracks.
He has produced for years and many of his contributions are well-known in the osu! community, as part of circles such as A-One (
Magic Girl !!,
Bamboo Dance) and NJK Record (
WARNING!,
Crazy Hot,
Spring of Dreams).
He currently works under the Eurobeat Union circle (which might be worth considering as a whole, with FN2 and NU-KO also being notable artists!)
Considering the popularity of his music in the rhythm game scene I believe he would be a good fit as a Featured Artist.
