A sample of a cover song by JubyPhonic "Toumei Answer" -English ver.-, composed by Jin |
JubyPhonic (also known as Juby) is an English speaking female utaite, as well as a professional voice actress and vocalist. She began singing on her channel May 29th, 2012, summer before her last year of high school-- just for some summer fun. But also because social anxiety and panic attacks were making it difficult for her to continue to perform onstage--and she refused to totally give up on something she loved and had been doing since she was little. The arts, creating--art, acting and singing--had always helped her cope, gave her life. So filled with trepidation, she closed her eyes and just gave it a go. As luck would have it, 8 years later she's recorded now more than 300 covers and reached over a million subscribers worldwide. JubyPhonic's YouTube channel has well over a third of a billion views.
Juby wanted to give more visibility to the many young 'bedroom composers' she loves, that speak eloquently through music on so many human, and sometimes difficult topics. She began recording covers, with the hope that singing these works with English lyrics would reach more people around the globe and build appreciation for these heartfelt songs. Since 2017, Juby's YouTube covers of VOCALOID and anime have been translated and subbed by fans in almost 40 languages: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese. There are even a few translations done in Esperanto.
Besides recording cover vocals and writing her own translyrics/ lyrics, Juby also provides her own subs, creates or directs some of the artwork, makes cover harmonies, mixes audio and edits video. When time allows, she enjoys collaborating on original projects and re-mixes with other artists, composers and musicians. Her real hope though is in time to do more of her own original songs and re-mixes.
Although she often does most of her work alone (excepting the rare duet or collab) in 2015 she started doing more elaborate projects and artistically directing her own paid collaborations, now made possible with the support of her fans through Patreon.com. These time consuming projects can take a few months to a few years to complete. She has also collaborated on projects with various professional and non-professional groups worldwide. Juby often balances directing around 35+ project collaborations on the back burner--that's besides the many she is working on, at various stages of progress. But on the whole, the majority of Juby's covers are typically done in a tough, grueling work week.
Her near 100 hr work week often includes college schoolwork and any professional voice acting jobs, overseeing her channel business and various projects, plus all the work that goes into 'the cover of the week' which often includes: research/lyric writing/vocals, harmony rehearsals and recordings/mixing/subbing/video editing/managing artwork, arrangers, composers, musicians, rights/social media sites and Patreon announcements/mp3 downloads or digital releases...and more. And depending on the problems that surface on that cover, Juby may have a few or all 24/7 pedal-to-the-metal, hard crunch days before a release, before she can finally collapse into a heap to rest...and start all over again. Being a YouTube artist isn't easy. It's a lot of hard work with little to no time off. Juby tries to take breaks when looming burnout and mental health issues become a little too real.
Her voice has a characteristic stability, clarity, and brilliance along with a certain bounce to it. She is also known for being emotionally expressive and touching her fans' hearts. A soprano with a wide vocal range, she records in bright straight pop tones--contemporary pop. Her signature VOCALOID/ anime style varies from piercingly resonant in high pop/rock/electronic, to a gentle, intimate voice for acoustic and and jazz covers in the mid-tones. Juby has been acting and singing onstage plus had vocal training since young. Her theatrical background and voice acting experience contributes to her ability to "become" the character in her covers.
Her skill with incorporating idioms and correct pronunciation/syncopation in her Japanese to English translations has made her translyrics favorites of many of her fans. Juby has received praise not just from global but Japanese fans, as well as some Japanese producers when she covered their works[3] [4] [5] . Juby has also written the original lyrics to new compositions, in collaboration with composers--some were Japanese producers.
Out of over 230 released covers, about half have well over one million views. A few of her most popular English covers to date: Drop Pop Candy (17.7M views), Bad Apple (11.0M), Game of Life (10.9M), Mind Brand (10M), Lost One's Weeping (9.9M), Echo (8.4M), World is Mine (8.1M), Childish War (7.8M), Aishite Aishite Aishite (7.7M), Wildfire (6.7M), Witch Hunt (6.5M), Miss Wanna Die (6.2M). (June 2020) YouTube carries the majority of her covers. SoundCloud has over half of her covers plus different versions, acoustic, experimental collaborations with new composers, new re-mixes and mashups. NicoNico carries less than half of her covers plus several covers not available on her YouTube or SoundCloud channels, such as her cover of "Namae no nai Kaibutsu" from Psycho-Pass , which made Nico rankings; and "Deja Vu" by CircusP and CrusherP done with the Japanese STUDIO GUIANA. Through Asian fans, JubyPhonic covers also share an up-to-date presence on BiliBili (Chinese YouTube).
She supports her fan's creative expression and all new creative works in general, thus her translyrics and covers are available for use as long as she (and the original work) is properly credited and used in projects for fun (non profit).
She depicts herself with pink/reddish hair, often with a yellow hoodie with long rabbit ears. Her pet and avatar is a rabbit in pink and white. She sees the rabbit as a symbolic invitation.
In 2015 she branched out-- she ran her first "Skochbox Summer Cover Contest". And she had also already started streaming some fun/ serious talk shows with utaite friends, sometimes bringing in a guest, and always encouraging fan participation, Q&A. For 4 years The Unholy Quartet--Juby, Rachie, Kura, Anthong--did occasional streams on YouTube, dependent on their availability. The 'utaite friends talk' group begun by Juby had their own avatar, social media sites on Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Discord. In 2019 The Unholy Quartet reorganized and morphed into Yonaka Tea Time, a monthly podcast organized around human interest and topics appealing to the anime/ VOCALOID community led now by Juby, Rachie and Anthong (Kura was short on time). Yonaka Tea Time also has its own social media plus now is published on multiple sites. On remote occasions, Juby also joins forces with her sister Genevieve, a voice actress like herself, to do podcasts on all things anime: shows, manga, conventions, voice acting.
In May 2019 JubyPhonic released her first digital album of covers to buy or listen to on streaming music services. It was a compilation of her Circus P covers called "Welcome to the Circus".
A voice actor and vocalist, Juby has been working professionally for Sentai Filmworks for over 7 years. She has done leading and supporting roles in over 90 shows to date--this year she'll hit the 100 dubbed shows mark. (June 2020).

Trivia[]
- She started performing in musical theater shows at age 3 and sang in school choirs beginning in elementary. At 12 she was taking private voice lessons---after attending and watching her siblings lessons weekly, since age 4.[6]
- Besides voice, she grew up taking years of training in stage/ film acting, dance, choir, art & electronic media.
- She took Japanese classes in college, and was part of the Latin Honors Society in high school[citation needed].
- She was in the gifted program through most of her schooling. She made the Dean's & President's List and Phi Theta Kappa in college, and joined National Honor Society in high school. [citation needed]
- Her college Major is Communications, and she has a minor in Psychology. [citation needed]
- She often shared the musical theater stage with her siblings and parents.
- She likes Yoko Kanno, Maaya Sakamoto, Megumi Nakajima, Osamurai-san, Kikuo, Rasmus Faber, Linkin Park, Lady Gaga, Coldplay and UVERWorld.[6]
- She loves to interact with her fans. Best place to hear Juby's fun loving, deprecating humor is Twitter, her streams & podcasts or just read her cover descriptions. Juby does reply to e-mails--though it might take awhile. In 2015 her sister, Alissa, began helping to answer the many fans on YouTube and in 2016 she appointed a JubyPhonic Moderator OFFICIAL so Juby's increasing fans around the world were cared for.
- She likes to end fan e-mails with this positive thought: "Enjoy what's beautiful about the day wherever you are in the world! Do something you love. Do something that makes a difference. We all can make the world a better place, every day."
- She took the name "JubyPhonic P" because it rhymed with "Juby comics", which she had been drawing at that time. She added the P "because it seemed right"[7] but switched to just "Jubyphonic" after realizing that the P in her name can also stand for "producer".[7] She was not ready to put out original music at the time.
- She sings in English because, at first, as a perfectionist she believed she would just be embarrassing herself by singing in Japanese. Soon she realized she chose to write her own translyrics and sing in English because many English covers just didn't sound right & couldn't match the original Japanese song. English translations/ tranlyrics usually didn't have singable lyrics that could rhyme or hit the musical beats. Most importantly, she fell in love with these evocative, heartfelt songs & wanted them to reach more people around the world--people that otherwise might not have been adventurous enough to listen to a song in Japanese, but might listen to it in English. And now, since 2017, with the help of fans around the globe, you will find her YouTube covers may be translated & subbed (CC) in almost 40 different languages plus Esperanto, an Intl language. [7]
- Initially, her brother taught her how to mix.[7] Based in Silicon Valley but moving back to Houston, he writes cutting edge software & owns his own intl company. Recently his 10 yr old company, Awesomium, morphed into Ultralight, after his latest cutting edge software release in 2019. It made the cut at Silicon Valley's Y Combinator & stayed at top of Hacker's News for a day.(If you are a computer geek, you know how great that is.)
- Her whole family watches anime, reads manga, goes to conventions, and shares music files on Kanno Yoko, etc
- She lives in Houston.[8]
- Her favorite utaites are Itou Kashitarou, Reol, Kanseru, and kradness.[9]
- She has been working professionally as a voice actor for Sentai Filmworks for over 7 years while attending college part time. Nearing the 100 dubbed shows mark, she has performed supporting and leading roles in over 90 shows plus been featured as a vocalist (June 2020). Among her more notable roles are:
- Anonymous Noise: Nino Arisuga
- Hello Kitty (2018): Hello Kitty
- Akame Ga Kill: Kurome
- Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun: Chiyo Sakura
- BanG Dream!: Kasumi Toyama
- My Love Story!!: Yukika Amami
- Juby has been nominated for several voice acting awards in the BTVA Anime Dub Awards ceremony, including:
- 2015: Best Female Lead Vocal Performance in an Anime Movie/Special [citation needed]
- 2016: Best Vocal Ensemble for an Anime TV series [citation needed]
- 2017: Best Female Supporting Vocal Performance in an Anime series (Kanade Oe in Chihayafuru)
2017: Best Vocal Ensemble in an Anime TV series (Syr Flover in Is it Wrong to Try to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon?)
2017: Voice Actress of the Year[citation needed]
- Both of her sisters, Genevieve and Alissa Simmons, are actors in the entertainment industry and are affiliated with Sentai Filmworks. Genevieve is a film/stage actress while helping run a digital publication & organizing/ doing business dev for anime conventions across the US & the globe from NYC,[citation needed] and also hosts workshops often related to voice acting with her. Her eldest sister, Alissa Simmons, is a singer & film/stage actress, while not booking entertainment in NYC. [citation needed]
- She is a guest at conventions several times a year. Though shy, Juby enjoys meeting fans & presenting fun, fact filled, "hands on" participation workshops on voice acting & other topics, often with her sister Gen. As of 2018, some appearances have been sponsored by HIDIVE, Sentai Filmwork's Anime Streaming Service.[10]
- Juby wrote under the pen name "Gooby" as a contributing writer for GoBoiano, a global digital publication on anime pop culture & lifestyle.
- Before becoming a Utaite and a voice actress, she wrote her own comic strip called Juby's Word of the Day .
- The rabbit on her avatar is a reference to Alice in Wonderland. It's supposed to "beckon all to follow her down the rabbit hole--into another world of music and imagination" [citation needed]. The idea of a rabbit was born from her very first channel (Usagi-chan).
- Her mother will go and edit her Wiki to make sure it is accurate
