Utaite Spotlight: Rishe
Rishe/リシェ
mylist | community | twitter
Rishe hasn't been around a long time but she's definitely someone that people should listen to. Her voice is in the mid-range, a little near Yamai's range. She has a whispery voice which is perfect for ballads. What is also impressive with Rishe is that she can cover different kinds of songs. She can sing cute ones like PONPONPON, sexy ones like Risky Game and sad ones like bouquet. She falls short on electronic pop songs though like HachioujiP originals because her voice doesn't fit autotuning. Also, the autotune hides the beauty of her voice.
If you'll be very nitpicky with Rishe's covers, you might not like them because there are times where she fails to reach the notes or keep at pace with fast lines. However, the overall feel of her songs is beautiful that you can let it pass. In her ballads, she has the ability to let the listener feel the mood and emotion of the song.
What surprised me about Rishe is her participation in a collab of Rin-chan Nau. She didn't strike as the type who would cover the song. It showed a different side. She was able to deliver Miku's lines effortlessly.
She's not active in doing lives. It seems that when she does, she usually does it with her fellow utaite like eclair and Glutamine.

When I chose Rishe to feature in this week's spotlight, I didn't know she was celebrating her second anniversary on February 16th. At least I was able to write about her in time for that. I first knew of Rishe because she was in the Smiling Re:Member version collaboration. I didn't visit her mylist though because she didn't really stand out in that collaboration. But when I was searching for covers of bouquet, I stumbled upon her version and I was amazed.
I listened to her whole list and her covers are a hit and miss for me. With Rishe, I think it all boils down to song choice. If she would choose songs that won't require her to hit very high notes or at least make the pitch lower, then she would be able to deliver a lot of popular covers. I'm looking forward to more covers from her.
