A sample of a cover song by GEM "Mermaid", composed by monaca:factory |
GEM (ジェム), formerly known as Adam (ア゛ダム), is an utaite known for her light, soft, and sweet voice. While her singing style is often described as being cute or "mysterious" rather than technically strong, she often adjusts the tone of her voice depending on the atmosphere of a song.
She is also known for being good friends with the producer monaca:factory and has covered many of his songs. The pair, along with the illustrator meisa, have released a collaboration album titled Vanilla no Wakusei. As such, she is often considered his go-to human vocalist.
She is also very close friends with fellow utaite Shirayuki Eve, whom she refers to as her twin sister. The two form the unit La.Cerise (as well as share a naming theme: Shirayuki Eve and GEM's original name, Adam), and often perform at live events together. She is also a real life friend of Shamuon, with whom she often holds namahousous.
Her first cover was "World Is Mine", while her first hit solo cover was "Mermaid" , which currently has 215K views and 6K mylists. Her most popular solo cover to date is "Umiyuri Kaiteitan", which currently has 140K views and 7K mylists as of June 2020.
