fascinatesFaneru (ふぁねる/♂店員)
blog
I realized when he announced that he is going to return, a lot of people actually do not know of Faneru/Tennin and only heard of him as one of those who retired from Nico Nico Douga and the one half of Negero's "magnet". I figured this is the best time to re-introduce him. This is a bit hard since none of his networks (mylists, comms, etc.) and even his songs work. I'll be using Youtube links for reference, I hope no one minds!
Faneru started as "Tennin" who uploaded parody songs in Nico Nico Douga. Most of his parodies involve popular songs with themes centered on working on a convenience store (Family Mart, most specifically) which is why he's nicknamed "Tennin" or shop clerk. He also briefly used the name "Te:" (short for Tennin) in his collabs with Pe:. He gained a lot of popularity that he eventually collaborated with other singers and then moved on to covering normal songs (although sometimes still laced with crack). He also did mixing and arranging not only for his own works but other people's.
Faneru's voice is nothing spectacular to be honest, but it has a distinct roughness which makes some of his covers good. His voice quality can be likened to Anima's and ASK's. Most people do not know that he is considered part of Asamakku family and used to join them for collabs and namahousou. He mostly does collabs and is close to ASK, Kogeinu, Gero, Jack and JimuinG.
Sometime March this year, Faneru announced his retirement from Nico Nico Douga due to certain company and stalker issues. This caused quite a ruckus in the NND world and even musicians (G-san) and singers (Kogeinu) cannot hide their disappointment with his leaving. However earlier this month, he announced in his blog his comeback as well as explanations regarding his disappearance. Slowly, he's trying to earn his place in the community again although we've yet to hear a new upload.

...nothing. I think the stuff above says a lot. This is mostly so new people in the fandom will know more about him. FYI I first learned of Faneru from Fakku, his and Jack's collab duo ^^;.
