[ravient]

Nope, I'm not Nikki.. ^^; since Nikki cannot make an entry today, I'll make this opportunity to introduce my favourite Utaite~ Everyone who knows me KNOW that I'm crazy on him.. *cough* My first post of the spotlight so please be kind on me. ^^; I'm sorry I'm a bit late posting this. Had a lot of things to do yesterday. >_<;

KOGEINU / コゲ犬

mylist | blog | community

Kogeinu started his Utattemita debut in the early 2008. His voice sounds like a girl and can do REALLY WELL in a high notes. Most of his songs has a really high pitch which can make people amuse. That's the unique of Kogeinu. His low voice is actually pretty cool too. Unfortunately he rarely sings in a low voice. There are some but not as many as his high voice songs. He often inserts some of jokes in his uploads. He calls himself as a dog and/or DT (Doutei = virgin guy). He's 27 years old this year and he's proud of being a DT. ^^;

Recently he's doing a lot of projects. Some of them are 'seiyuu' projects; Smiley*2, Kiss of Voice, and Do-S Tantei. He hasn't released any album/single yet but he did quite a lot of compilation CDs with the other utaites. Unfortunately he's not as popular as the other male utaites.

Too be honest, thanks to Nikki who introduce all of the 'Magnet' of BL Utaite version so that I found this guy exists. XP IT'S REALLY HARD to choose only 5 songs for his solos coz I love all of them!! so I decided to make another 'genre'. Sorry Nikki. I hope it's ok.. OTL
He did say he likes L'Arc~en~Ciel and CLAMP's works. He used to sing a lot of Laruku's songs in his namahousou. About CLAMP's works, you can see it from the anime songs that he covered. 
I love how he always be proud of his DT-ness. Even in his twitter, his profile is 'The president of the world's DT status committee (Self-claimed)' and how he loves Code Geass' Lelouch and imitated the voice. 

anyway,
HAPPY CHRISTMAS~
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas this year~ I'm glad I could make a Kogeinu entry in Christmas day~ XD Hope you like it. ^_^ 

Nico Nico Guide I : Registering for an Account

[fascinates]

There are many guides written for Nico Nico Douga-related activities, but since this community is, after all, a Nico Nico-intensive comm, I decided to write guides myself so that you won't have problems searching for them when you need them.

All my guides will be image-intensive. Also, since the website is always changing, this will become outdated after time.



Nico Nico Douga is a Japanese website for video streaming, whether live or uploaded, among other things. It is like a Japanese version of Youtube, but much more versatile, in my opinion. Here are some of the features you can see in Nico Nico Douga:

• real-time comments are scrolled across the screen as you watch, meaning, if you commented on the video at a particular time, it will scroll across the screen to be seen by everyone;
• a mylist, or a list of videos you have marked as a favorite;
• a memory function, or the ability for you to preserve certain comments in a video; and
• a mypage that acts like a social networking site like mixi, including the option to add friends, join communities, watch updates and earn points depending on your activity in the website.

One of the few downsides of the website is that you cannot view the videos unless they are embedded in a site. If you try to view a video from the website itself, you need to have an account in order to watch. Since Vocaloid and utattemita videos are uploaded in Nico Nico douga, as a fan it's important to have an account there. This is how you do it...
