Utaite Spotlight: Gurumi
Gurumi / グル美
| mylist |
Gurumi is a season utaite who has started submitting covers of Vocaloid songs as early as 2008. She is mostly known for covering MEIKO songs, which has somehow become her specialty. Despite maintaining mediocre popularity, she's actually much-loved not only in the MEIKO fandom, but in the Vocaloid fandoms as well. In some of her videos, you might see the tag "AV", which stands for "adult voice".
Gurumi's voice can be likened to Yoru, Yamai, and the rest of the female utaite who can sing in deep, rich tones. Her voice can reach high notes, but most of the time, she prefers keeping cool and lowering her voice in seductive drawls. At loud parts, her smooth voice rings through with strength and solidity. Because of this, it has become her specialty to sing jazzy and slightly rockish songs.
As I said before, Gurumi prefers singing MEIKO songs, and in her earlier works, you'd notice that 90% of them are MEIKO songs. Later on, however, she has moved on to sing Luka, Miku and even GUMI songs, but whenever there's a popular MEIKO song, chances are she'll cover it. Since most of MEIKO's songs depict her as an adult, or at least older than most of the Vocaloids, it's no suprise that she manages to sing them all beautifully.
sample covers
• Sherry
• Shinjuu ja Panesuku
• Electrical Parade
• Sadictic Scarlet Aria
• Kaise, kaise

Gurumi is one of the first female utaite I've listened to, and she's sort of my go-to person when looking for cover of MEIKO songs. It's a pity that she's not popular when her covers are always nice and of good quality.

On an unrelated note, tomorrow is Nico Nico Dance Master 2. Aside from tons of utaite, HachioujiP will be there to act as DJ and Hashiyan and Zebra as guests. Last year's Dancemas was very impressive, so I'm expecting more this year. Gate to the streaming is . It can be viewed by anyone and it also can be timeshifted.
