THIS is little late for the weekend sowwy BUT I must tell you the truth. I am the king of being late. I didn't used to be, but for the past two years I have been consistently showing up ten minutes late to everything in my life <3 I'm working on it but it will happen again LOL

Anyway, this week's (last week's?) focus is gonna be Show (唱) by Ado!!

Another non-vocal synth song, my favourite Ado tune!! Although again, vocal synth adjacent: Ado grew up doing utaite activities and so many of her songs are like the who's who of vocal synth producers; giga-p, deco27, syudou, the works really!! And specifically her work with Giga-P and Teddyloid (this song and also my previous favourite of hers, Odo, were arranged by them) has been so good, these dance tunes let her go NUTS all over the track, playing with all these cheeky vocal styles. She yells, she uses falsetto-type tones, she vocal fries, she flip-flops between head and chest voices, she growls, she fucking YODELS it's fantastic, it is just wonderful. I never get sick of her scratchy yet powerful "warning!!" no matter how many times I listen to it.

I'm also very fond of the video, the character designs and animation is SO so so fun, I love the dance and the design of the girl in the eyepatch and dress, I think she's so cute LOL

To start with the covers, most of the one's I'm going to highlight are actually going to be vocal synth covers interestingly. I wonder if maybe because this is such a vocally intense song it makes the sound of a synthetic voice sound particularly interesting to me with it? But of course I do love plenty of real people covers, it's just a fun song all around.

The first cover I want to point out is the only human singer in todays list outside of Ado herself, the utaite Eruno (えるの):

Big fan of this cover in particular and it's going to sound kind of odd why but it's because the dude sounds like he's having a BLAST lol This song is super hard to sing already because Ado is extremely talented and extremely good at soundly like she's having effortless fun while singing some insane shit, so it's fun to hear another cover where someone is still keeping up well with the range but playing around in different ways! He matches some of her tone switches, but he messes around with his own voice particuarly in the verses in different ways which sounds very nice!

Next I want to point out not just one, but two Teto covers! Yasutange's UTAU Teto (top) and SynthV Teto (below) covers:

Both are fantastic, I love that this producer put so much footage of not just their pitchbending, but also some of their parameter edits in both OpenUtau and SV, it's really inspiring seeing how people mess around with these things. I like to listen to the UTAU cover slightly more because I like the UTAU edge, but I adore watching that SV cover to see those breath and gender sliders go NUTS. And I have no clue how they did those vocal fries in SV, that's awesome. Both covers are really fun to listen to and look at the videos, check 'em out!

Another cover using a vipperloid that I want to show you guys is this Yokune Ruko cover by ナイトウ_UTAU:

Using both of Ruko's fem and masc vocals, it sounds so expressive its UNREAL. The beginning "yeah yeah yeah SHOWTIME" blasts you off into space and it just gets better by the second. Before the first chorus the fem vocal has this cool seductive tone, and all the interjections like the "hey"'s and the "uh"'s sound so natural it is WILD. Wonderful cover <3

I want to talk about one last cover, I'm doing what I did last week again, saving my absolute favourite for last LOL BUT this cover. This wonderful cover. A Kaito V1 cover by Persephone-p:

I've mentioned this before, I'm a V1 lover. And specifically, I'm a Kaito V1 FANATIC he's my favourite version of Kaito ever on earth <3 YES he's glitchy YES he's robotic but he also has these strong, deep vocals that still somehow keep their clarity, really love it - and this cover takes the fun roboticness to the next level: Persephone-p has leaned into the effect particularly in the lower parts and the verses, letting Kaito sound anywhere from his usual self to a MacinTalk-esque tone then all the way to deep 1970s Speak-n-Spell growl. SO GOOD so so so good. And all that's not even going to the actual expressiveness of the tuning itself, he sounds like he's having a blast LOL Really wonderful cover, my absolute favourite cover I've heard of this song!!

That is all for tonight, please enjoy these fun covers of this fun song!! (stands up and immediately dies and goes to hell and becomes a zombie in order to dance a choreographed dance in a orange prison jumpsuit)
