Halyosy

halyosy (ハルヨシ) is an utaite and a former vocalist in the (now defunct) professional music group "absorb", made up of that, is, and halyosy himself. He sometimes modifies the lyrics of the songs he sings; he was the creator of Melt's male version and he worked with Tourai to give a more masculine inflection to sasakure.uk's Bokura no 16bit Sensou for Ten and Valshe.

His voice is very strong and flexible, and he can hit high notes without sounding too strained; he also sings with emotion and passion and often rearranges songs to supplement this effect. As a result, he is immensely popular and his covers all have at least several hundred thousand views. He is fond of singing in an R&B style, such as in his "Hannya Shingyou R&B"

Halyosy has only created a few original Vocaloid songs, one of which became a huge hit: "Sakura no Ame" was a reoccurring song in the Vocaloid Weekly Rankings after its release in February 2008. Eventually it lost popularity until it received another surge in popularity when "absorb" performed the song live at a high school graduation in March 2009, causing it to gain the #1 spot on the Vocaloid weekly ranking. It became a hit as a graduation song at high schools across Japan, and a CD of the song was released. He has his own channel on YouTube as "halyosy," but has only uploaded a few of his works. He has also started another project called voiceberg, and uploads Vocaloid original songs and sells albums under this project.
