CCC-P is a VOCALOID producer. He uses mainly Rin and Len Kagamine's vocals, and typically produces metal and ambient classical music, although his genres span a wide range and he's also done a few techno and hip-hop tracks on the side. He also does music outside of VOCALOID in the same way.

As a VOCALOID User
So far, CCC-P has produced two songs that use the VOCALOID software, which are available on YouTube. His first release is a short demo PV by Rin and Len Kagamine, "Passion". The song is about two lovers who become hopelessly enamored with each other and a child that is concieved as a result of this affair. This song had no lyrics yet, so CCC-P posted information about his song on his Blog. The song is slow and melodic, and very thematic and a little ambient.

Some time later, CCC-P released a video of his second song, "Goodnight", by Len Kagamine. This song had a complex video with no images, but it appears that the song is about Len, who is remembering his relationship with someone who "left" and how his anger and sadness pile up on him as he tries to cope. At the very end of the song, he says "goodnight" to someone and the song seems to end before cutting over to a credits melody. This song was much lighter in nature than "Passion" and used many instruments, starting with a gentle piano and introducing a string orchestra, and a brass instrument solo after electric guitars appear. He commented in the video's description on YouTube that he doesn't actually speak Japanese very well, and that the Japanese words may be incorrect from the romaji provided.

On his SoundCloud page, CCC-P released a song entitled "Sic of You", which he stated he wanted to have Hatsune Miku sing. So far, the song appears complete, as opposed to "Passion", which remains a short demo, but has no vocals yet. CCC-P has made no statement since this release on his progress on this project, as he's been working on other projects since.

Much earlier, CCC-P released a video with no vocals entitled "Farewell, My Evil." which appears to be a reference to Akuno-P's "Evil" series, and contains the main melody to "Servant of Evil" by Len Kagamine, although there are no vocals anywhere in the song. It appears to be both a remix and an original track, as it takes references from "Servant of Evil" but also incorperates many of CCC-P's own styles and parts. In fact, half of the song is the main melody to "Servant of Evil" but is followed by CCC-P's own continuation which breaks off from "Servant of Evil" and includes CCC-P's own original composition, which later flows back into "Servant of Evil". CCC-P implied that this release was a tribute to someone dear to him, and that it was a "message" in a way, although he prefers the term "prayer" instead.

Themes
CCC-P is known for his thematic and melodic progressions, and also for his breakbeats in certain areas of a song. He often includes a fast breakbeat in the final chorus of his songs, which deviates from the usual, defined tempo of the song. He also frequently makes use of a "jungle" beat (note: completely seperate from the "Jungle" genre of music) where it would be unusual to do so; in nearly all of his metal songs, he's used this same breakbeat in small areas, which has become one of his most well-known and defined themes in his music.

CCC-P also makes use of two electric guitars in his metal songs. Very often, they don't follow the same composition, as one might play 1/4 notes and the other 1/8 notes. They also often harmonize and are also panned seperately in stereo, so that the listener can hear each guitar seperately.

He's also used the piano in his solo breaks very often. In recent works, this can't be heard as much, but there are many examples wherein CCC-P will play an energetic, jazzy piano break over the other instruments. He also uses a third guitar specifically for solos, which has many different effects. For example, this specific guitar is first heard in "Passion" after the second chorus. This same guitar very typically continues to play into the end of the song from there.

When CCC-P released "Sic of You", he noted that he used very different instruments, and that he felt like it wasn't "his" song. It is indeed very different in style and composition, and it feels much more like a pop song mixed with rock. In this song, during the break solo, a new guitar appeared, and the drums entered a very crazy and wild breakbeat. Then he played the second verse again, but differently, so that the drums would completely break the tempo and progression. This is the one time CCC-P's typical style appears in the entire song. He also stated that the song was very fun for him to compose, and that the track that can be heard now was completed within 36 hours of its creation. (Note: He meant that the song was done within 36 hours, not that he spent 36 hours on the song.)
