The Second Vocalist Contest'' (先輩に続け!第2回ボーカリストコンテスト) [https://p.eagate.573.jp/game/sdvx/sv/p/floor/vocal/03/index.html whose details can be found here]. The website cryptically hinted at having "sound professionals" working on the songs without mentioning any of the artist names.

To this day KONAMI has not officially revealed any of the musicians for the songs; it wasn't until HDD ripping months later that any artists were confirmed.
