While he mostly writes music for Vocaloid, he's also written songs for various other J-pop groups, utaites and singers, such the idol groups Wasutaa! and Zenbu Kimi no Sei da. as well as the Virtual YouTuber Hoshimachi Suisei. Several major utaites such as Sou and Eve have also covered his works.

Mikito-P provides examples of:
- Album Title Drop: In the title track of GOOD SCHOOL GIRL.
- Author Appeal: Mikito seems to have an affection for Chinese culture, making several references to it in his work - naturally, the biggest example is "1, 2 Fanclub", which is all about Rin and Gumi fangirling over Chinese culture.
- Several of his songs also make references to the book "No Longer Human" by Osamu Dazai.
- Badass Boast: From "ROKI":We ain't dying, neither of us are!
- Birthday Episode: "Muneyake Birthday" is this for Miki, Yuki, and Kiyoteru, all being released on the same day.
- Break Up Song: "Sayonara wa Kienai" and "Natsu no Hanken".
- BSoD Song: "Sayoko" is from the perspective of someone with severe, if not suicidal depression.
- Cat Girl: Rin in "Citrus Neko Punch".
- Driven to Suicide: "Shoujo Rei" is from the perspective of a girl whose friend (that she is heavily implied to have had feelings for) committed suicide via jumping in front of a train after being bullied relentlessly. And depending on how you interpret the end of the song, the narrator girl kills herself in the same way out of guilt for being the one that started the bullying in the first place.
- "Sayoko" doesn't show the narrator actually going through with it, but they are implied to have tried to kill themselves before, and the end of the song gives the impression that they decide to simply let themselves waste away.
- Intercourse with You: "Ballerina Girl" and "SECRET DVD".
- Last Note Nightmare: "Shoujo Rei" abruptly ends with the sound of a train slamming into something, followed by cicadas buzzing and a girl's giggle (the third exclusively in the VOCALOID version).
- Lyrical Dissonance: More than a few of his songs, but best displayed by "Shoujo Rei", which is a refreshing and lighthearted summer tune about bullying, guilt, and suicide.
- Novelization: "1, 2 Fanclub", "Sairishinohara", "ROKI", and "Yuudachi no Ribbon" have all received light novel/manga adaptations.
- Ode to Youth: "Ballerina Girl", "Good School Girl", "Matoi", and "Kyoto Candy Store Wars" all have elements of this.
- Queer Romance: "Yuudachi no Ribbon"'s three protagonists are all girls, with the song's lyrics implied to be about two of the girls attempting to hide their relationship.
- Sequel Song: "Yonjuunana" is the sequel to "Sarishinohara", focusing on the idol girl that the boy from the first song loved. It's then followed up by "Akaito".
- Silly Love Songs: "Kunoichi Demo Koi ga Shitai!", "kiss", "Love in Suzhou", "Classmates", "Second Kiss" and "Ai no Youki".
- Subverted by "I Shared a Kiss With Hatsune Miku"; despite the title, the titular kiss isn't a romantic one but one of gratitude given to Miku, who lifted the protagonist (implied to be Mikito himself) up from their state of feeling lost and purposeless in life.
- Teenage Death Songs: "Shoujo Rei".
- Umbrella of Togetherness: The two girls in "Yuudachi no Ribbon" are shown sharing an umbrella.
