Chachako is one of the earlier utaite, having started uploading covers of Vocaloid and anime songs since late 2008. She is fondly called "Oneesan" or "Chacha-nee" by other utaite/producers as well as fans.
Chachako has a powerful, medium-register voice which shows off an "adult" air, as some fans call it. While she mostly sings songs in a low to medium pitch, she can still easily sing high notes at the end of songs/lines without pinching her voice. Her vocal quality is similar to Kakichoco's or Mitani Nana's, as she is also known for singing with amazing clarity. Her choice of genre is also flexible, ranging from pop to rock to ballads to eurobeat (samfree XD), although she mostly sings pop to pop rock songs where she can easily show off her vocal prowess. Fans also commend her wonderful diction even when singing English lines.
Like most utaite who started early, Chachako was known for covering Black Rock Shooter and soon became a regularly popular female singer. When she sang Symmetry, she was acquainted with its composer Re:nG. Soon, they became a unit, with Re:nG mixing for her and sometimes collaborating with her in original songs. They became known as "Ch:A&Re:nG" (Challenge). Chachako further collaborated with Re:nG, this time with guitarist prkr to form the unit Athanasia.
sample covers:
• Megumegu ☆ Fire Endless Night (samfree original)
• Symmetry (Re:nG original)
• Es~dirty aspiration~ (Araken original)
• HAKUMEI (Onigashima original)
• Saiaku no Carnival (LiveP original)
original songs (w/ Re:nG)
• Brave
• REIGNITION (Athanasia)

To be honest, I've heard of Chachako's name since I was a newbie in Utattemita and I found her Symmetry cover to be really beautiful (it's probably one of the best covers of the song out there). However, I only started listening to her songs regularly when she released the cover for Es~dirty aspiration~, which was a simple, straightforward yet impressive cover. As you might have gathered from my previous spotlights, I especially like singers with wonderful lyric pronunciation, like Kakichoco and Seriyu, so it wasn't hard to like Chachako's covers, too. She rarely uses improvisations and covers by the book, but that makes her covers easy to listen to, especially when you like the original Vocaloid versions, too. One example of her cover which I really really like because of her by-the-book rendition because I'm attached to the original is Saiaku no Carnival.
Her unit with prkr and Re:nG, Athanasia, released a single recently and it's quite good for a first single. It reminds me of some TWO-MIX songs in terms of beat and 90's rock/pop groups which is quite nostalgic XD. You can buy the single in Amazon.
