Utaite Spotlight: Tabun Jibun / たぶん自分
Tabun Jibun / たぶん自分
mylist | mixi community
After monaca:factory's spotlight, let's have an utaite slightly related to s10rw. :)
Tabun Jibun started uploading his works in Nico Nico January of 2009. At first, he was teasingly called "someone with an indisctinct gender" because of his high range and his tendency to sound a bit effeminate in his songs, which is also part of his charm. His choice of songs are often ballads or acoustic/slow rock songs. He has a tendency to do an arrangement of the song which suits his liking, which is why he can comfortably sing a song in his range and pace. Most of the time, he chooses works by FullkawaP, Xi-onP and recently has collaborated with Whoo.
Tabun Jibun's voice can be likened to Shin Shakaijin or Buzzpanda with a higher range. He has a gentle, smooth voice that makes any of his covers relaxing and easy on the ears. He can also sound a bit RnB-ish at times. For me, he is like the male version of Seriyu, with a voice that has no edge and you can listen to with ease.
sample songs
• envy. (FullkawaP original)
• harukaze (Xi-onP original)
• Alice (FullkawaP original)
• 1925 (T-pocket original)
• yukimine ~piano and strings ver~ (Xi-onP original)
• Time and a Word (with Whoo and Task)

I first knew of Tabun Jibun when I was looking for male covers of "yukimine", my favorite Xi-onP song (my favorite female cover of this song was Wotamin's). I love his Xi-onP covers the most because they're wonderful ballads meant to be sung gently (which he did). Ever since then I've been watching out for his cover and enjoyed EVERY SINGLE ONE of them. I cannot even name a favorite out of all his covers XD;. I also think his previous Twitter name was so awesome (maybe_meeeee), too bad he changed it ^^;.

I-I found someone new to stalk.
For some reason though, while I was listening to his songs I kept calling him "Amu-junior."

> Recognize it as the one that was in the weekly ranking last year.
> Thought he was a woman back then.
Well, he certainly had me fooled. ^^'

Lovely! I like how he sings ballad. Fits him perfectly!

ohhhh! -listening to his Alice now- I didn't realize his range was so high, I can see how he sounds kinda feminine, but it's really pretty :D
Hm...I feel like he'd do country good too/shot =w=b just that kind of slow-pace voice that's really fulfilling? <--something like that? *W*

And lol, he should've kept his twitter name. XD
