A producer can mean a couple different things in music, it's a very broad term. In the modern electronic music/hip-hop context, a producer is someone who arranges the song and its essential elements. They may or may not have also composed the tracks, or they might be using samples or someone else's recordings, but they're in charge of the overall "direction" of the track, analogous to a movie director. The producer will say stuff like "I want the vocals to be stronger here, let's do some double tracking", or "The drums need to be punchier here, let's add some more drums on top." or "There needs to be a synth part here, or a solo there." and then will either do that themselves or get others to record them.
The types of producers that do songs for Niji tend to be producer-composers. They basically do literally everything for the song, composing, recording, choosing the sounds, samples, instruments, and song structure, and actually making them a reality.
