A sample of a cover song by Dasoku "Iroha Uta", composed by Ginsaku |
Dasoku (蛇足) is an utaite who is known for his deep and lazy-sounding yet smooth voice, which has a slight lisp.
He has been uploading song covers since November of 2008, and his most popular solo cover is "Senbonzakura" , which has over 1 million views and over 37K Mylists. He often collaborates with 【Ren】 and they have released one collaboration CD together, 1122.
He was formerly the oldest member of the group RootFive (√5).
On March 25th, 2015 it was announced that Dasoku will be retiring from Root Five on October 31st of that year.[2]
On Jul 13, 2018, he announced on his Youtube channel that he would be retiring from utaite work - more specifically, from the name Dasoku.[3] This was after he was awarded a silver plaque from YouTube, marking 100k subscribers on his YouTube channel. Following the announcement, he started using his real name, Kawamura, on his covers. While he is primarily active on YouTube, he still uploads utattemita videos on Nico Nico Douga and remains heavily involved in utaite activities and lives. Most of his utaite friends still address him as Dasoku as well. His official name on live announcements is now "Kawamura (Dasoku)"[4] .
