Utaite Spotlight: Da-little

Da-little/Hiradon/ひらどん/hrdn

mylist | comm | twitter

Da-little is no newbie in the utattemita scene, however, I feel that he's very underrated. Da-little is one of the members of Asamakku family. You could hear his songs played as BGM during Asamakku Radio.

His voice is high that fits ballads very much. However, he can also sing R&B tunes. His pronunciation of the words is very good. Da-little has a good grasp in English. If you listen to his English versions of songs, it doesn't sound awkward and you can hear the words clearly.

Aside from his utattemita work, Da-little is also the vocalist of Sputnik If you want to listen at his Sputnik works, you can check out the website as they have posted their PVs there. :) The songs are only availble on iTunes.

Da-Little holds lives frequently. I rarely have a chance to listen to them because there are other lives going on during that time. You can also catch him holding lives with Wotamin that lasts for hours. :D

sample songs

Ur-Style (DATEKEN original)
glow (keeno original)
Starduster (Jimmythumb original)
Hanagumori (Dixie Flatline original)
Fire◎Flower (halyosy original)
Gemini -English version- (Dixie Flatline original)

I appreciated Da-little a lot when he covered DATEKEN's Ur-Style. I never liked any other covers of this song except Da-little's. Probably because most covers I heard have the singers autotuning their voices too much.

What impressed me more about Da-little is his English version of some songs. As far as I know, he's covered Gemini, Melt and Spice.

Thanks for writing a spotlight of Da-little! I love his voice so much. It's a pity that he stops uploading cover songs now, since i don't like Sputnik's music at all. His personality is also a charming point, since he's very deep and sensible, often talks 'bout meaningful things in his housou that i can't understand much (my Japanese sucks, and i think that's also the reason why the listener number is not as high as other famous utaite...) But he's also caring and amusing too... (Oops, here comes my rambling orz)

Anyway, i hope he can get more attention... Why such a fascinated guy like this is too underrated ;; ?

Don-saaaaan <3
My favorite songs are: glow, starduster and アン・イノセンス *w*

You can find his old works in YT but I wonder why he deleted his old songs ... Something happened but I don't know what XD

btw he's doesn't sleep . . . lol

Squeeee! Finally a spotlight on Hiradon/Da-Little!

If you paid attention to the original cover of Smiling that has Hiradon, you can notice that his voice is so soft~ >w< I can't read hiragana when I first listened to the song, so I was really curious. Later, I listened to his and Jack's cover of Ti Amo, and started checking up his stuff~

;A; his namahousou... Wish my internet is quick enough to watch a nama... ;_;

But yeah, they got awesome (coughTouraicough) BGMs.

Yeah it is. Though after I listened to his Gemini cover I went to listen to rockeleetist's cover as well since he used her lyrics. >.< I'm going to have to listen to more of his covers though.

AHHHH MAI HUSBANDOOOOOOOO (≧ω≦)

Well, he knows English quite well. I heard him once speaking fluently in English when there showed one english-commenter during his nama. He hadn't ever been abroad (the guy asked him about that and he replied in English) and he himself says he can't speak well hahaha (I was praising his English once...). He quite often also sings English songs during his nama like "Shape of my Heart" and many others and I really love them. He loves to talk A LOT. To chit-chat about nothing, to totsu with people, with fans... He's nama are usually few hours long. And he's indeed underrated... but it's easy to get in arena hahaha. I really love his voice and I'm always in awe when he sings during his nama, 'cause it sounds like recording. And yeah I heard his voice first time during Asamakku and I really love it.
The funny thing is he loves to visit and advertise nama of various not-well-know people. And watches that nama and sometimes comments... He's so random... That way I was able to talk with him LOLOL by pure coincidence.

Jack-san is my puppy!

Yeah, he's doing nama in weird hours... Well, convenient for me wwwwww~ I think it's ok to comment in English, cause he can understand, but is obviously a bit perplexed and other commenters are usually active too and can't understand, so I think if one don't have to do this, then better do not and use Japanese. Yeah, he's so cheerful type of human and rite, he's kind of ikemen (for me wwwww~). Megaaneeee~

I've always known about him, but why haven't I heard his covers before *A* His voice is so nice.

Although do you know why his older mylist has been deleted?

[personal profile] crystaligems 2011-04-05 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Len-san, why are some of his covers not in NND anymore ( o A o ) ? I'm checking on him now and I love his Scissorhands ( > m < ) !
