Yuuda / 雄大 / ゆ～だ

Yuuda started uploading his works to Nico Nico Douga around mid-2008. He may not be very well-known but you may remember him as the one behind the mind-blowing operatic version of Servant of Evil or as the epic chorus behind Koge's Kumo no Iseki. One of Yuuda's distinct qualities is his rich, deep, operatic-type voice that seems to suit traditional or classical songs but which he breaks out with in the most unexpected songs, adding a new twist. To be honest, Yuuda's deep resounding voice fits with the big-band type songs too. His voice has been compared to that of Fukuyama Masaharu's and after looking him up, I admit I can see why Yuuda's style reminds listeners of Fukuyama, whose low-pitched crooning is similar to Yuuda's.

 

He could probably contend for the category of deep-so-sexy-i-died voices, reaching eroi proportions :D (sorry, taking that from the comments/shot lol) He's really talented at doing opera-ish songs or arranging ordinary songs into classical arrangements and they really suit his "mature" voice and puts his strong vibrato to use. Well to put it, he's covered opera-ish songs too and they are downright awe-inducing. Operatic is all I have been talking about, but it's really his defining feature, the way his voice soars up and swoops down is so powerful *q*
Thus far, Yuuda has also composed one song with Hatsune Miku (it's so cute *__*)

I first heard of Yuuda through his Servant of Evil cover and thought it was so awesome *__* an operatic arrangement! I love classical music too so hearing this arrangement made me really happy~ Yuuda's unique voice & style is so refreshing and just kinda makes my ears explode from the awesomeness. I really love his covers of Ebot's songs because his voice is rich enough to fit into the role *__* while other ikemen voices might be lovely~ they can't really fulfill the mantle of Tsuki Yuki Hana and Paradoxical Paradigm for me like Yuuda's voice does. His deep voice fits traditional-type songs perfectly but I like his takes on other works too! (lol operatic Matryoshka). Hope you enjoy Yuuda and all his wonderfulness~

Thanks for writing a spotlight of him~!

I've not heard most of his songs and i'm looking for some of his good covers after Servant of Evil and Kumo no Iseki. Deep and rich voices like him should be appreciated more
