Utaite Spotlight: Bis

[fascinates]

Bis / びす

mylist | community

Bis is a very prolific male singer in Nico Nico Douga, having started only June last year with Sandscraper, but has uploaded more than 80 covers (that means he uploads every few days or so XD). His dedication and love for covering songs is apparent in his choice of covers. He isn't biased towards any specific genre, style or producer. Because of this, he has become quite popular in the community and his songs have gained various receptions. His most popular song to date is his cover of Kagefumi Etranger.

Bis's voice is thin and has a wide range. In some of his covers, he's often likened to Yuu, because of their uncanny ability to make a song sound creepy mysterious and cool at the same time. Just because his voice is thin, though, doesn't mean it doesn't have the power or force, since he can sing Vocarock songs really well. His earlier works were more towards Vocarock, but recently he's taken a liking to singing fast-paced, confusing songs which kind of became his forte. For the record, his screamo's pretty awesome like in Otona no Omocha. He also has the tendency to sound pretty amazing in a high girly voice, like in Charon.

In the one year that he has been singing, his improvement as well as his choice of music has developed and expanded well.

I first encountered Bis in the Utattemita Rankings and I have found a liking for his cover of EAS, despite the tons of covers out there. When I decided that I also liked his Sakurazensen cover (which not many people can cover properly), I've followed all most of his works ever since. I find it great that he's good in screamo, singing in English...basically anything he covers is good. He's a bit hard to follow because he uploads like every other day, but it was fun seeing how he'd cover different styles of songs, especially those not in the vocarock/screamo/fast-paced songs category. (He has a Peropero cover, I mean XD). I'm often in wonder as to how he can cover songs and upload that fast without making the quality of his songs suffer. It's pretty awesome. I...can't name a single favorite because he has many songs and I love more than half of them, but right now my constant loop is his 7/8. :)

*insert flood of fangirling sounds here*

Well i personally think his music taste is somewhat similar to Fukuwa... I've been following him since Cheery Hunt and was really surprised by his upload speed... Maybe it's because his mixing is quite good, and his singing skill is great too so it doesn't take much time for him to perfect his covers (i swear, his nama singing is really great, he even can sing super fast songs such as Uraomote or Boku-Boku...) Actually he once uploaded two songs a row in just one day XD

His namahousou is always interesting too... Especially when his famous "hohhihi" laugh is included ROFL

I found this on that nico dic entry and ide.... (link)

[yualaurant]

IKR? XD I almost died hearing his laughing...

[himuro]

just gave it a try and listened to one song (影踏みエトランゼ)
and gahhh it's so good *A*
dont make me join more coms anymore! /shot

i will definitely will start following him and yeah 8D"
let's see if i can catch up his mylist if he uploads so much...
(so i doubt? i can LOL)
and how could i never heard of him before?! OTL
(at least i think never heard of him before...)

Wow, he's got an impressive repertoire!
I've only checked out his Otona no Omocha and PeroPero covers so far but I'm definitely going to be checking out his other stuff now. I love the contrast between his screamo voice and his somewhat less aggressive singing voice in Otona no Omocha. <3

OMG I never knew Bis was featured. *A* He's been in, like, my list as one of my favorites two months ago. *A* Bis is so AWESOMEE I haven't even finished listening to every song he has. :'D And it's true. I truly love his version of Kagefumi Etranger. It's one of my FAVORITES [along with Kurokun's, lol xD]~ Bis is doing such a good job with things. SO AWESOME. ; A ;

so far I have only heard his cover of 7/8. I'm not really impressed with it, (don't worry I have really high expectations of that song, so nothing surprising) but I am looking forward to his other ranges. Oh I'm kind of against his sakurazensen too, most probably because I have a very set mindset for that song, (I'm not being very positive here am I?)
But! I agree, his kagefumi etranger is really good! the mixing too, and I like how he suits the bass's rhythm.

this is really weird that I have a tab of 9th and karon open in my browser now lolol. But this girl voice in karon is great! It sounds cute, I can't believe he's a boy lolol I think this high voice suits him the most, I'll probably root him more with this song alone lololol.

I'll try to listen to his uploads from now on :D

[stephieku]

Oh!!! I thought I've never listened to Bis' songs, but I've listened to his DYE before!

I can't believe I'm new to him... I'm really liking his Kagefumi Etranger and Juu Mensou. Also I didn't think it was possible to sing BokuBoku....

[seraphictune]

ohhh Bis!! *__* yeah he's pretty amazing at uploading so often and yet so good////

his range is actually pretty good XD -points at his Kusare Chocolate song- no wait...or was it the Bye-Bye bi...song lol where he starts out all shota moe and turns all hardcore cool screaming. XD

Bis is so good at being diverse /o/

I like hearing from Bis because he covers popular and fairly unknown songs XD although I was confused at first why he had that R-18 label or something, I think it's because of the dousei XDD/shot anyways yay for covering Bis! /o/ =w=b
