amu

I believe most people already know amu, for his love of cola, for being part of Pointfive(.5), for being part of Hiwaily*2, or for being part of the Cu6ic gang.

amu has been uploading since mid-2008, and is one of the most well-known utaites in Nico Nico Douga. amu has a wide range, with the ability to hit high notes without sounding too strained, and the ability to sound like a female at times too. He can also sound like a cheeky young boy in some of his collabs. His voice can be compared to Tourai & Kogeinu; the smoother, higher-Tourai & the rougher, lower-Kogeinu.

amu can sing about every genres, branching from rock to ballads to pop. His most popular works like Boss Death & Scissorhands are although not the top cover, they are usually the top 5 in cover ranking. He also mixes most of his songs, and collabs with multiple singers like Kettaro & Beeeeige in Vana N' ice covers, So~ma, Riseha, Jigiru, etc. His main collab partner is miy though, who is also spotlighted this week.

He usually hosts his lives late at night, and sings or play PS3 games in them. In his singing namas, he usually sings his covers, occasionally with his acoustic guitar accompany, but he also sings L'Arc~en~Ciel and anisongs from time to time. In his game namas, he likes to play horrific/bloody games & RPGs. It's always fun to watch him play these games, as he makes some extra sound effects and comments to lighten up some of the more terrified viewers.

amu has been regularly taking part in doujin releases like Cu6ic with So~ma, Riseha, Shirokuro, jonyh & Reji, Hiwaily*2 with So~ma, Riseha, Mi-chan, Ren & Jigiru, and PolyphonicBranch. He has also been releasing originals and covers under Pointfive(.5) with Asamaru, Mi-chan, clear & Dasoku. During last year's Fukukomi, he has released his 1st mini album Mu, which is available for order at Three! and Animate.

Joining this fandom only late December last year, I actually first heard of amu & his voice from Pointfive(.5)'s Select Me. He was the one that caught my attention, aside from clear, and has been my favourite utaite since then. I always love how his covers can sound so smooth, how he can high & low he can sing, and how he curls his lyrics when he sings. I really like how he sings rock songs with using his high range, as it doesn't fail to give off a powerful impact, and how he sings upbeat songs and give off the jumpy feeling. (I'm not making much sense, aren't I ;;) His namas are never boring, in my opinion, and never fails to make my day with his gdgd spirit. xD Sometimes I just wish he'll host them earlier, and not when I'm asleep though. ;;

Also, it's coincidentally (actually, not really) his birthday tomorrow (or today). If you have twitter, please drop by and wish him well! ~ Comment here too! Since I might link him up. 8D
