a quick cover feature this weekend, mostly because i am very sleempy. BUT please enjoy a couple versions of Usseewa (うっせぇわ) by Ado that i like!

We know this song, it was like number one on the charts for a while in Japan if I remember correctly? Jesus christ 333million views.......... ALSO if i remember correctly it was kind of controversial? Mostly with like, parent groups or something, which just makes the song work more honestly LOL awesome. This song rules, the lyrics rule, its so biting and sarcastic, Ado's vocals rule, her switches between her growls and her operatic tone all the way to a seething breathy sound, Syudou's production rules with the thumping beat and the odd, like, halloween-y synth line in the background?? It all rules. We know this. We know this.

Now I'm a sucker for producer self-covers. I love them forever and always <3 This is kind of mostly a vocal synth music (and vocal synth music adjacent like Ado herself getting her start in uttatemita covers and Syudou being a prolific vsynth producer) phenomenon but I love that vsynth producers will just sing their own songs as a side thing, sometimes they're not the best singers but it's still really charming. Syudou is notably a good singer though, and he has his own solo singing work as well (yacchattawa is a personal favourite) so his self-cover of Usseewa is really fun!

He has a really distinct, high, nasally tone with some great voice breaks and like, squeaks at some of those high notes, really great! And that second verse's near-maniacal and giggly sound rules.

Here's a vocal synth cover I really like, a cover using the Neutrino voicebank Yogatari Tobari by AgentAsteriski!

I fucking adore Tobari. I do wish she had a dedicated singing voicebank on a vocal editing software, or hell, I'd take a frontend for Neutrino itself hjkfjsfdsfds I'm scared of the lack of UI... I'm scared... She has her A.I.VOICE1 text-to-speech bank which can work with like, kotonosync I think? But I really love her voice and her character and I want her on everything LOL

Specifically, as AgentAsteriski points out in their description, she kind of yells in her Neutrino voice which rules, and works especially well for covering a song like this! Really fun, I love it a lot. Tobari Nation Rise Up!!!!!!!!!!!!

And one more cover, this one's really silly as it's a straight parody, but this cover by Hiroko Kachi, a musical actress, playing as the titular character from the musical Elisabeth:

HONESTLY MY memory of Elisabeth is very vague from watching a very crunchy upload of a Takarazuka version years ago so I'm missing half the jokes BUT I do love the jokes I did get and I love how unhinged she got about it LOL awesome parody concept, really fun and fantastically sung~

THAT IS ALL I wasn't lying about being very sleempy,. Goodnight my friends (yells "shut the fuck up" and dies on impact)
