Utaite Spotlight: Shell
shell
mylist | community | mixi community
Shell is a rather prolific utaite who started to upload covers of his songs way back in 2009. His covers are hit or miss, but most of them have over 10,000 views, the most popular being Sweet's Beast, which remains one of the best covers of the song in Nico Nico Douga.
Shell's voice is low with very minimal breathiness, which makes his covers full and solid-sounding. He can reach high notes if wants to, though, although he prefers singing in a lower pitch, probably so as not to make his voice wobbly or strained. He sings a lot of rock and upbeat pop songs, probably to fully utilize the best of his voice, although surprisingly, he pulls off singing very fast-paced and hard to sing songs. He's quite versatile in his song choices and while not all of them are hits, it shows how good he is at controlling his range and flexibility.
Most of the time, he prefers singing KAITO songs to match his range, but he also sings low and upbeat Miku and GUMI songs, all of which he performs really well. He sounds similar to Xiao and terry when it comes to range and quality, but with a fuller, deeper voice.
Aside from singing solo, Shell also participates in many choruses and collabs ^^. You can check them out in his other mylist.
sample songs
• Kimi no Taion (KuwagataP original)
• FLOWER TAIL (yuukiss original)
• Migi Hidari (koushirou original)
• Chillyditty of February (DARS original)
• Sainou Sampler (koyori original)
• Akutoku no Judgment (AkunoP original)

I first knew of Shell when I was collecting all my favorite covers of Migi Hidari (yes, I love that song so much IDE--). After that, I totally loved his Chilliditty cover (you can't find that many good covers of it) and eventually I got into the habit of checking out his every uploads. He might not sound very boy-next-door-ish, but it's nice listening to the solidness of his covers, especially those that require very skillfull singing (Flower Tail, Akutoku). I also like his second voices, they're very well done!

True...they are hit or miss~ but I do get excited when I see him uploading XD
He kinda reminds me of terry sometimes in how prolific...but also slightly deeper. They both have kind of a KAITO image...(oh lol just noticed you wrote that too/shot)
