Utaite Spotlight: Eal

Eal / エアル

mylist | community |

Eal is not a new utaite, having started uploading his covers in Nico Nico Douga sometime late 2010. However, he is not as prolific as other utaite, so his mylist only has around eight covers. Still, that doesn't mean they pale in comparison to other singers'. You might have heard of Eal from his collaboration cover of Maji Love 1000% with Tane, Ahou no Sakata, Urata, Keysuke, and Rimokon.

Eal's voice is deep, throaty, and as most people say, erotic in a good way. He can be likened to Dasoku/Panyo in terms of "emakoi-ness" (ero + umai + kakkoii) but his voice is a bit higher and younger. He also has a distinct drawl which you can hear in especially low notes. His long notes are not impressive, but he has a way of making his breathless end notes sound amazingly enamoring. Eal usually sings rockish and jazzy songs, but he also has sung ballads. He also usually sings per request in his mylist. He used to sing with people in Skype kara namahousou but recently, he mostly does idle talk with his listeners instead.

According to his Nicopedia entry, he is around 25-34 years old, with blood type AB. He is also from Osaka.

I'm thankful to Maji Love 1000% for introducing me to Eal, although I'm ashamed I only heard of him now D:. As someone who likes voices which are more of Keysuke-Clear range, it's a bit of a surprise that I liked Eal's voice the first time I heard him but I really do. He sounds shaky at times, especially at powerful/high stuff, but he makes up for it by adlibbing or adding interesting breathy sounds to his songs XD;. If you like voices like Mi-chan's, Dasoku's, Panyo's, etc., do check Eal's works out and I don't think you'll regret it.
