Utaite Spotlight: KK
KK / けけ
mylist | community | blog
KK is not as popular as other male utaite in the utattemita community, but recently he has been gaining remarkable increase in view counts and fans. He is probably most known for his cover of Envy Catwalk wherein he showed off his unique singing style.
KK started uploading his Vocaloid covers in Nico Nico Douga sometime in 2009. He is known for emotionally singing ballads. He has a deep and slightly husky voice that remains unique to him although sometimes he shares vocal similarities with Tourai, Xiao, and sometimes even halyosy. He is known for his wonderful vibrato, especially in ballads. He can hold his high notes really well and has an interesting way of pinching his voice that makes his covers sound a bit RnB-ish.
Although KK's voice is more fit to sing ballads, he has recently begun covering fast-paced and strong rock songs. His singing style changes these songs from something powerful and sharp to something a bit gentler and smoother, which is really awesome. No matter what type of song he sings, he manages to tame it down and make it more suave--a really good twist to hear especially in well-covered bandwagon songs.
KK has no solo albums of his own, although he has participated in Utattemita Gentei's album "Alternative". He has also collaborated with some singers and has taken a particular interest in collaborating with Vocaloid producer yukkedoluce and singing most of the P's works.

I actually knew of KK when yukkedoluce excitedly tweeted about his "Kimi ga Suki" cover and was curious because not many people covered the song then (I knew only of Asamaru). And I'm glad I did check him out because I was most impressed. Since then, KK had been my go-to for country-ish covers of ballads. I like how he manages to make his covers unique because of his slightly rough voice that creates an RnB-ish/country-ish feel to every song. I was most surprised when he not only started covering rock songs but really did well in singing them! I was first reluctant to listen to his stronger covers because I thought it wouldn't fit his voice, but his "Envy Catwalk" proved otherwise, didn't it?
