Ashikubi

Ashikubi (足首) is an known for his flexible, mid-range, powerful and emotive yet somewhat sultry voice, with a slight (but distinctive), breathy, almost raspy lilt. Though his voice is often described as being "cool" and, it is also very versatile - ranging from sounding "creepy" and rather unsettling, as seen in covers like "Macaron" and "Ten Sho Sho Ten Sho", to sounding more rough and forceful, as seen in covers like "Jikochuushinteki Kairaku Shugisha no Shikou he no Mousouheki Shoujo no Shikou to Sono Kousatsu" and "Bye-bee Baby Sayounara".

His song choices naturally skew towards high-paced, uptempo, or rock songs, as ballads are an self-admitted weakness of his - despite the fact that his voice itself is also considered to have a fairly calming effect on listeners, he feels that slower songs tend to not suit his singing style. He does occasionally cover more downtempo songs like "Sora no Sakana", however these are usually limited to the works of the producer nekobolo; of which he has covered "Tawagoto Speaker", "Haru ni Kimi to", and "Aishouka Context".

He is quite new to utattemita, having first started uploading in mid-2011. He has participated in many duet and group covers since his debut, and is close friends with fellow utaite MAM, Mimy, KomeYoungTea, and Renoa, all four of whom he has collaborated with multiple times. He is also friends with the producer, who occasionally mixes for him - however, he usually mixes his own covers in addition to mixing for other utaite.

He prefers to stay secretive about his appearance and other personal details, citing his discomfort when in the public eye ; as such, little is known about him aside from what can be gathered from his Twitter feed. Nevertheless, he is an active Twitter user who is known for being sociable and particularly kind to his fans; often personally replying to their tweets and thanking them individually for retweeting or listening to his covers.
