Utaite Spotlight: Seriyu

Seriyu / セリユ

mylist | community | blog | community

You probably know Seriyu from her collabs with various artists such as Clear, Wotamin, Beeeeige and Kettaro. She is also the Luka part in "ACUTE" with Clear and Wotamin. She also guested before in Dasoku's, Clewota's and PUPI's radio shows.

Seriyu has a silky, slightly low and smoothly flowing voice that rarely has any edge on it. She can reach high notes but not as high as singers like wotamin or Usa. However, her voice sounds enchantingly sweet and the lack of strength in her voice becomes one of her charms. That's why she mostly sings songs which are gentle or are sung with not much force. Some say her voice has a resemblance to Miimu's, just not as thin and is more solid.

Seriyu currently lives in Osaka although she rarely reveals stuff about her. Her favorite Vocaloid is Luka. Her favorite Vocaloid songs are Gokurakuchou -bird of paradise- and Symmetry. She seems to be very good friends with Agya, Kushi and Wotamin since she joins radio shows which the other girls frequent. She also seems to be in good relations with PUPI, clear and on a slightly lesser degree, Dasoku.

Seriyu is my ideal when it comes to "womanly voices". If someone could give me an impression of a Luka-ish voice, it would be her. Most of the songs I listed above are my favorite covers of the songs, so I really think highly of her (Yup, hers is my favorite Romishin cover XD). I just wish she'd sing more.

"Seriyu has a silky, slightly low and smoothly flowing voice that rarely has any edge on it."
yes >< definitely very smoothly flowing. like she just naturally makes the transitions between notes so smooth~!
i love her~!

[fascinates]

Yes, that is an accurate description XD. I love her, too *_*

[jakuu]

her smooth voice reminds me of wotaane, but yet there's something really special about her voice. i love it so much <3

[fascinates]

I'm glad you do! I've yet to listen to tons of Wotaane, though!

I've heard of her before! :D I remember listening to her ACUTE with clewota and being impressed. But I was too lazy forgot to listen to her other songs. :D I really really like her voice. Can't really say I love her Romishin cover though. (But then, I don't really love any Romishin covers. Not Hanatan's, not Usa's etc. I'm picky with the songs I like D: and I usually like singers with powerful voices.) But I really like her 1925! /goes off to look for more songs

I'm picky with covers when it comes to my favorite songs, too XD. I hope you get to like more of her covers :)

Yay Seriyu <3
I acutally don't like these sweet/non powerful voices but Seriyu is just awesome! "glow" fits her calm voice very good and too bad that she didn't make it higher in the ranking! ><
Seruyi need more love!!! >:(

Hm...Haven't you already spotlight her? My bad memory ... xD

[fascinates]

I'm glad you like her despite your choice of style XD. I like her glow a lot, too. Probably my favorite cover of the song.

I haven't! I just mention her a lot since she's attached to a lot of collab albums and other utaite :)

> w < I've listened to several Seriyu songs, or . . .er . . . parts of songs with her in there, but I haven't payed much attention to her. D: First heard of her when I saw Mi-chan's version of Romeo and Cinderella, and I thought her voice fitted the 'personality' Miku emitted from the song. "orz Shame I didn't know that she had a full cover herself. D: It's quite nice, that slightly mature girl, but still shy-ish / soft voice ? xD

[fascinates]

She definitely sounds like a quiet, shy girl. She is timid even in namahousou (unless Wotamin manages to break the ice or something XD).
