A sample of a cover song by Baru "Top Secret", composed by scop |
Baru (バル) is a female utaite who has been uploading covers since late 2009. However, since her earlier covers weren't mixed well, she didn't get much attention until late 2010.
She was accused to have taken the name "Baru" to profit off of Valshe's fame (whose name is written "Barushe", and was also nicknamed Baru), although this is not true. Her name comes from the phrase "ganbaru" (Do your best). Valshe told her to keep the name and to make herself a name through her music. To avoid confusion, Baru sometimes uses the name Baruko (バル子).
Eventually, she managed to succeed, with her "Top Secret" cover receiving 295K views as of August 2013.
She has a clear, smooth, strong and also mature sounding mid-ranged voice. She can sing relatively high notes, but is less developed with her lower range.
She is good friends with Chomaiyo, with whom she often holds namahousous. She is also friends with Ryo-kun, for whom she does narrations (such as his "Dorobou Night Trick" ) and Wotamin, with whom she has a joint community.
She currently streams games as a vtuber.
