Shin Shakaijin / 新社会人 mylist |
community |
blogShin Shakaijin, or Shin Syakaijin, started uploading his covers in Nico Nico Douga around mid-2008. At first, he covered songs from anime like Macross, but eventually, he started singing covers of Vocaloid songs and continues to do so until now. He is pretty open to covering parody songs and is known for covering virtually anything, from ballads to rock songs to jazz to insanely cracked songs.
His voice is rough, with a wide range and power (if he wants to). His voice quality is quite similar to Faneru's with a bit of Buzzpanda's ballad side. His singing might turn people off a bit because he does rough and slightly messy renditions of the originals, although that doesn't mean they suck. He tends to use a lower pitch with a drawl slightly on the eroi side when doing ballads, but when singing rock songs he increases the pitch up a little and uses a bit more force with pretty impressive shouts. He is often praised for his control over high and long shouts/notes as well as for having an "ikevoice".
In each of his covers, there will be a screen at the end of the song where he says "to everyone who listened up to the end, ajujushita♪ (最後まで聞いてくれてあじゅじゅした♪). He is also very fond of sweets and confesses to like girls in school swimsuits... You can hear him speak in

nikki saysI have been hearing Shin Shakaijin a lot in the utattemita fandom, but the time I decided to listen to all his works and subsequently like him was when I heard him sing "Hoshizora ni Negai wo Komete" in the utattemita album "Starry Sky". He sounded awesome there and since then I've been following his covers. I'd lump him with Buzzpanda in my playlist, but while their voices are both on the rough side, they have different singing approaches. But still, Shinshaka's voice is quite relaxing, even if he's singing Loli Yuukai /shot. I have so many favorites in his works, but my first will still be his song in Starry Sky.
