Kano: My favorite cover singer

In Japan, there is a website which function is similar to Youtube called Niconico, and Japanese are tend to use that website to watch videos and listen to music. Most of works of Vocaloids are uploaded to Niconico, and a special song cover culture is formed there. Basically, those cover singers are some unknown guys. They could be a student or a thirty years old office worker, since they seldom reveal their true identity or face, just to keep the mystery.

One of those cover singer who use Kano(鹿乃) as her name on the internet uploaded one song and became very popular because her voice is very cute and soft, and the video below is Kano's cover.


And here is the original version:


 Actually, I prefer the original song to the covered one, but somehow her voice makes me very touched and gets me goose bumps all over, especially a song called Kokoronashi.(心做し)



After hearing this song, I started to look for more songs that she had covered, and I found that she sings very nice and can express the song well. 

Here is another reason why I like her so much. It is because that after she become famous, she sang her own songs but not just cover all the time, and even sang for animation's opening song and ending song.

Please feel free to share with me your favorite singer or your feeling about Kano.

Thanks for watching and see you next week!

  1. I also have my favorite covered singer in Youtube. I think every singer has its own unique voice and style. Sometimes I think that I prefer the covered song than origin one just because of the singing voice. But no matter who sings the song, the most important thing is the song should be good to hear instead of being another noise.

  2. I think Kano's voice is really cute and soft. Besides Kano, I also like Rib, who is a cover singer on Nico, too. Rib has a nice voice and a high pitch as girls'. Nico is an awesome platform for those who want to share their works or their voice, and with these cover singer, some of the great songs could be spread wider, especially to those who can't get used to Vocaloid's voice.
