Utattemita (8)

1 Name: Niinaa : 2014-06-16 17:33 ID:R1vOqRcd [Del]

Does anyone know who Utaites are? If not,let me tell you about them!!
Utaite (歌い手) is a Japanese term for people who cover previously released songs and post them on Nico Nico Douga and YouTube under the utattemita category. The term "utaite" is unique to Nico Nico Douga singers, making it different from Kashu (歌手), which means "singer" in general.

Generally, utaite do cover songs for VOCALOID original songs, anime and game related songs, and J-Pop. They also do parodies with different lyrics for popular songs, intended for amusement.

Most utaite exclusively cover songs and upload under the utattemita section, but some of them have doujin circles and release original music/drama CDs during events like Comic Market and VOCALOID M@ster, frequently referred to as Comiket and VoMas respectively. A few utaite also have become partly or wholly professional singers and have released/will release their albums under official labels. (Copied and pasted from utaite.wikia.com which i recommend if you're interested and want to know more about Utaites)

If you already know about them,Who's your favourite??
Mine is Glutamine!! (My husband lol)

My favourite utaite would have to be Soraru!

Btw, tried looking up Glutamine...apparently it's also a kind of powder that enhances muscle growth and recovery...

I don't know who's my favorite. I suppose it would have to depend upon the song, but I really like 96neko, vip tenchou, Glutamine, Soraru, Amatsuki, Reol, Kradness, Nobunaga, and Mafumafu. All the people who make their own rap parts are also really cool. (Sorry, that was kinda a lot of names for a favorite.)

I don't get it. How is it any different from regular covers other than that it's posted in a particular place?

and also another utaite i know is mimu altough she stopped singing vocaloid songs for quite a time (because of her plagarism issue and stuff) but her voice is really good and has feelings in it.

>>6 Well,I don't understand you're question completely,but! the fact that they're posted in a particular site is the main reason that they're different! though,There isn't much difference really! as mentioned before,when they post it on Nico Nico Douga they post the covers under the Utattemita tag/category,Making them Utaites.
