Utaite Spotlight: Teksy

teksy

mylist | community

Teksy is a fairly new utaite, having started just last year, but he has been a namahousou person for a longer time. He is considered to be a promising new face to the utattemita community.

He is known to sing with his own guitar accompaniment in his singing namahousous, but he only does this kind of nama until 22:00 in consideration of his neighbors. From 22:00, his namas are often about gaming and chatting. He is known to have been playing the guitar for eight years now. He also likes gaming and his most favorite food is chahan.

Teksy's voice is deep and rough with a certain solidity that makes him good at singing hard rock songs. He also has an admirable range even at fast-paced or strong songs. In terms of intensity and range of his voice, he can be likened to utaite Kanzentaicell and Soraru. He's able to carry strong notes without obvious effort in fast, rock songs. On the other hand, he has a rather emotional rendition of ballads that he almost seems like crying every time. He is presently being dubbed by fans as someone having an ike-voice.

At the moment, he only sings Vocarock songs, but he sings more ballads in his namahousou. In his nama he also sings songs by BUMP of CHICKEN, Mr. Children, 19, B'z, Kobukuro, Sukima Switch, Spitz, UVERWorld, RADWIMPS, etc.

sample covers
Bye-bi Baby Sayonara (saiB original)
Hysteria (KuwagataP original)
Invisible (kemu original)
Kagerou Days (Jin original)
Seigi Funsai (Maki original)

Teksy is one of those new people who I think will become pretty popular soon because of the quality of covers they put out. I first heard him from his Hysteria cover and was quite impressed, although his big break came later on with his cover of Seigi Funsai which remains his best cover yet. If you don't have time to listen to all of his covers, I highly recommend listening to that song. I'm also hoping that soon he'll be able to upload his ballads because they sound really good (from his namahousou)! Anyway, not much can be said aside from hoping he'll have more listeners since he deserves them...and his neighbors are really lucky.

Oh teksy, teksy, teksy.

Got sucked in by his Seigi Funsai cover (which is AMAZING, seriously, it's on my iPod forever repeating when I'm trying to wake up in the morning), found his twitter, found his community, listened to one of his broadcasts...and died laughing.

He has a tag to his broadcasts that is ALWAYS there, which is 18禁 (not suitable for any under the age of 18), not that his broadcasts are that ero at all. In fact he had something like 3 hours of broadcast in the middle of the night yesterday playing zombie shooters and going "Oh god where should I go next argh where did that one come from reload reload reload why is there no ammo lying about!"

One of my favourite up-and-coming utaites, really, and...yeah, I think this comment is getting tl;dr, so I'll stop here.

One of my favorite utaite, Yay! I love this guy :D Has been listening to his broadcast these past week. I'm a bit shocked with the amount of listeners. It's..quite small ._. He really has a good voice though. And his originals. Wow. He deserves more attention!

Also, he seems to be releasing a CD? I'm not sure though. Any news about this?

From what I could tell, it's an original CD that he's not exactly selling, just sending out to a limited amount of listeners? He mentioned something like that only once so I might be wrong but anyways.
