A sample of a cover song by Kony "Kimi Ijou, Boku Miman.", composed by DECO*27 |
Kony (コニー) is a male utaite known for his soft, shota-like voice. However, he can change his voice from shota to "manly-ish" easily, and often does so in much of his songs. He also is said to have a beautiful vibrato and a great sense of rhythm.[2] He is also famous for his funny omakes at the end of most of his songs. He has an energetic and outgoing personality as well as liking to joke around a lot. Kony is known to be good friends with Amatsuki, Chomaiyo, Itou Kashitarou, Rimokon, Shamuon, Soraru and Yuuto. He collaborates a lot with Yuuto.
Kony's first cover was of "Marionette Syndrome". However, his first hit cover was "Kimi Ijou, Boku Miman" , which was his second cover as well as the first video where he was called Kony; the original video now has over 160K views and over 7K MyLists on Nico Nico Douga.
