Utaite Spotlight: Shin Shakaijin

This spotlight is specifically for my co-mod [personal profile] stephieku :).


Shin Shakaijin / 新社会人

mylist | community | blog

Shin Shakaijin, or Shin Syakaijin, started uploading his covers in Nico Nico Douga around mid-2008. At first, he covered songs from anime like Macross, but eventually, he started singing covers of Vocaloid songs and continues to do so until now. He is pretty open to covering parody songs and is known for covering virtually anything, from ballads to rock songs to jazz to insanely cracked songs.

His voice is rough, with a wide range and power (if he wants to). His voice quality is quite similar to Faneru's with a bit of Buzzpanda's ballad side. His singing might turn people off a bit because he does rough and slightly messy renditions of the originals, although that doesn't mean they suck. He tends to use a lower pitch with a drawl slightly on the eroi side when doing ballads, but when singing rock songs he increases the pitch up a little and uses a bit more force with pretty impressive shouts. He is often praised for his control over high and long shouts/notes as well as for having an "ikevoice".

In each of his covers, there will be a screen at the end of the song where he says "to everyone who listened up to the end, ajujushita♪ (最後まで聞いてくれてあじゅじゅした♪). He is also very fond of sweets and confesses to like girls in school swimsuits... You can hear him speak in this video.

nikki says
I have been hearing Shin Shakaijin a lot in the utattemita fandom, but the time I decided to listen to all his works and subsequently like him was when I heard him sing "Hoshizora ni Negai wo Komete" in the utattemita album "Starry Sky". He sounded awesome there and since then I've been following his covers. I'd lump him with Buzzpanda in my playlist, but while their voices are both on the rough side, they have different singing approaches. But still, Shinshaka's voice is quite relaxing, even if he's singing Loli Yuukai /shot. I have so many favorites in his works, but my first will still be his song in Starry Sky.

I love his rough voice *A* I haven't stalked his mylist yet, but I like attending his namas. He's so good at singing Western songs too!


Coincidently, I'm listening to his nama right now....

ShinShakaiJin~~

I think I heard something cute from him first and found it so adorable *Q* maybe Renai Circulation...not sure. XD His voice is really unique though and it's rough in a sweet way? Although he can do those scream-y songs too...

...his ajujushita's are so cute///

I've loved him ever since I heard his take on Kutabare PTA <3

I haven't gone through his entire Mylist yet, though. I guess my motivation to do so in a timely manner is low with over-covered songs... not that over-covering is a bad thing. I have multiples of almost every song due to the fantastic covers.

Ahhhh, Shinshaka-san!!!!! *______*
I love him so much!!! I love his 'Bad Sweets', 'Calc.', 'Kutabare PTA', 'Doubutu Uranai', ah ah, you get the idea.... >.<;
I seriously love that drawl of his!! And when he rolls his R's, like in 'Mousou Sketch', it's just... *dies*

I also love his Namas when he's whispering and whisper-sings because of his neighbour. xDDDD
