Utaite Spotlight: Keysuke

KEYSUKE / きー助

mylist | community

Keysuke started uploading his covers in Nico Nico Douga August of 2009. He's a pretty good singer and is sadly not very popular. It could be because he has a habit of singing really popular songs at that time so he gets overshadowed despite the high quality of his wonderful covers. Most of the time, his covers get the decent 4-8k views although sometimes, he hits a good song and breaks out of 10k views.

Keysuke's voice quality is similar to ShounenT's and Rumdarjun's and everyone in the "gentle, kind voice" column, just a bit on the rougher side although the range is the same. That is why he sounds really nice in ballads and jazzy songs and in slightly high pitches. His voice is often dubbed as eroyaka (eroi + sawayaka/gentle). He has also collaborated with a lot of other utaite like Chibita, Yoru, terry and Cocolu.

Being a Yoru fan, I first knew of Keysuke in his collabs with Yoru, particularly EAS and "Perfect Crime" where he sounds really great. Eventually, I looked up his other works and found that I really love his ballads because they are so calming. I also like his covers with Maro and Terry (terry's deep voice!) because their blending are amazing. I think I like terryxkeysuke's cover of Yogoreta Prism more than DasoRen's ^^;.
