F9

F9, also known as Kiyono (きよの), is an utaite whose voice is described to have a "crystal clear" quality to it, along with the ability to hit high notes and maintain control. She first debuted under the name Kiyono in the summer of 2007, and mostly sang covers of Sound Horizon songs.

F9 has uploaded songs from various genres, ranging from Yuyoyuppe's screamo-rock to Furukawa-P's ambient and relaxing tunes. For some reason, she decided to delete all of her old videos and start anew.

Trivia

 * On March 31, 2008, she uploaded a cover of minato's Soar. The video quickly rose to the #1 spot in the music rankings (there was no "utattemita" category back then), and minato himself wrote a blog post detailing how he was overwhelmed with feeling by F9's voice.
 * People at the time wondered who this "pro-like" singer was since she left no trace of a name or MyList, so nicknames such as "The Nameless Songstress" or "The Songstress of Soar" were often used. In the end, she was unofficially called "F9", which was the account username.
 * Her identity was finally revealed in February 2009, where it was announced that F9/Kiyono will participate in a live concert.
 * F9 states that she doesn't mind being called by both names, but typically uses F9 within NND, and Kiyono for outside work.
 * She uses an Audio Technica ATH-4050 microphone.
