Utaite Spotlight: Amatsuki
天月 / Amatsuki
mylist | community
Amatsuki is quite known in the Nicodou community even though he only started as an utaite in 2010. He is also one of the younger-sounding voices in the community. Initially entering NND as a namahousou personality in 2009, Amatsuki decided to cover songs in 2010 and gained an impressive view count. Since then, he has been covering songs although he's also quite active in namahousou.
Amatsuki's voice is often describe as cute, innocent-sounding, and boyish, hence he is often lumped with similarly voiced ShounenT. He has a gentle voice that lacks sharpness or power, so he sounds best with ballads, jazz or pop songs. However, he has a penchant for singing loud, rock songs. Because of his softer than usual voice, his rock songs tend to lack power, but that doesn't mean that they're bad. In actuality, he sings rock songs quite well with a certain sweetness that is not often heard in rock covers, making his covers quite unique and interesting to listen to. He also tends to sound a bit awkward in the start of songs, especially if they're with fast paced lyrics or very low notes, but he always catches himself midway and hits both super high and low notes really wonderfully. Very rarely, he sings with a deeper "ikemen voice" although he usually does it to match his collab partner.
Amatsuki is currently a 20-year old university student standing at 176 cm. He likes pudding, yakiniku, melon and Elmo. His fascination with Elmo and his way of imitating Elmo's voice causes his fans to draw him always with Elmo.

I've listened to all of Amatsuki's uploads from his very first up to his recent upload. He is one of the utaite I have followed since he was new so he holds a really special place in my heart even though I don't mention him as one of my utmost favorites. When I first listened to his cover of "Limit Friends", I thought he has a cute way of singing (almost impertinent, pouty-sounding) and I thought it was interesting, since there's not many singers who sang that way back then. Eventually, I got hooked to listening to him and I'm always surprised by his song choices. Nevertheless, it's my forever opinion that he will always sound adorable whether he sings rock or upbeat songs or ballads XD;. There are many utaite who try to sound cute when singing cutesy pop songs and fail, but with Amatsuki, I think it's a given talent already XD;. Currently, my most favorite cover by him would be "Usotsuki". I just wish he won't get stuck with covering popular songs and be a bit more adventurous with his choices.
