| A sample of a cover song by -noir- "REVERSE±ERROR", composed by niki |
noir (のある) is an utaite and namanushi.
She started in February 2009 with a cover of "Black★Rock Shooter"
in celebration of her own birthday. One year later, she re-covered it to celebrate both her birthday and her 1 year anniversary as utaite. Already starting from her first cover, she's been noted for her beautiful, clear and stable voice. As an homage to her first cover she started the title of her second cover "Although it's not my birthday...".
She has also collaborated with fellow utaite Creamzone several times, forming the collaboration unit CryNoir with their first cover being "siGrE", and the both are noted to have a clear, rather high and nicely balanced voice.
Her songs are noted to sound nice despite having been sung with a cheap mic, such as in her "Yasashii Neiro".
noir has featured in several live tours, including the Nico Nico Toshiwasure 09 live and [Mint]'s decaf tour '10, additionally she has collaborated with guitarist [TEST] several times, also featuring vocals in his original song "Akatsuki" and the album Daybreak together with Creamzone.
On December 31, 2011, she has released her first solo album, Noirism - ark - consisting of 11 original tracks (plus one bonus track) by several VOCALOID producers. She wrote some of the tracks' lyrics. She also wrote the lyrics of "Kaisou cresc.", an original by HYBRID SENSE featuring Utatane Piko.
