Utaite Spotlight: Yurin

Yurin / ゆりん

mylist | nico community | blog | mixi community

Yurin is a very prolific utaite, having uploaded over 50 covers despite having started just last year in January. Because he has tons of covers, his growth and development as an utaite is also apparent and it's amazing how much he had improved within just months.

Yurin's voice is thin and very boyish, which is why you might think that he prefers singing ballads and pop songs, but actually it's the opposite. Yurin seems to prefer popular rock songs a lot and he is very good at singing them. His wide vocal range gives him quite an edge and he sounds wonderful even if the song is really high. He carries each song well because of his ability to sing in both very low and very high notes. Even without the thickness of voice usually found in strong singers, he has a slight, recognizable edge of roughness in his voice that helps him give force in upbeat and rock songs. In terms of voice quality, he's like a cross between Keysuke and Amu.

His almost permanent duet partner is Kano. He has A LOT of covers, but it's obvious that he prefers songs by yukkedoluce, hachi, HoehoeP and he likes jumping popular song bandwagons, which is why his songs are often overshadowed even if he sounds amazing in them.

I actually got to know Yurin when Yukkedoluce spazz-tweeted about him covering "Reflect". Yurin's covers are very hit-or-miss for me. However, he is one of those utaite I've watched grow/improve and if you listen to his covers starting from the earliest to the recent, you can see the apparent improvement not only on his vocal range, but in the quality of his uploads, too. And I think he'll keep on improving in terms of vocal quality and popularity XD.
