fascinatesMeian / メイアン

Meian has been uploading her covers to Nico Nico Douga for more than three years now (she just celebrated her third anniversary last August 2011). She might be a bit less popular to some but she actually has a good playback record, with some of her songs reaching more than 100k views and most of her uploads not less that 10k views.
With a thin, high voice, Meian has a beautiful range and can sing both ballads and upbeat pop songs well. Her rockish songs are a bit lacking in terms of power, but makes up for it with her range. She covers songs "by-the-book" and rarely does adlibs. She does entertain autotune quite well and she still sounds good when using it. Her voice also has a characteristic quirk that makes it unconsciously cute and nice to listen to. It's just that sometimes, she overdoes the "little moe voice" effect and ends up pinning her voice high too much.
A self-proclaimed gamer, Meian has also contracted the participation of her "riajuu" younger sister to sing duets in her early years. Later on, she almost exclusively collaborates with utaite Namfon in duets.

I've been hearing about Meian's name for a while (especially in the ranking) but I never really got to listen to her much. However when I listened to her Melancholic I think it was really cute and had been on the lookout ever since for her uploads. I find her collabs with Namfon super adorable (esp. their Nyansei!). As someone who prefers fuller, deeper voice for female singers, I don't really list Meian as my favorite but she sounds wonderful so I recommend her for people who like listening to high, thin voices like Ritsuka's, Nayugorou's, and a bit of Keisen's.
