Miyashita Yuu (宮下遊), or more commonly Yuu (遊) or miy_yuu is an utaite, who started covering songs in August 2008. However, many of his early songs are set to private.
Yuu has a soft, husky speaking voice. He puts lots of energy and personality into his covers, making them unique. When singing in deeper ranges, such as in his cover of "Autophagy" , it sounds chilling and dark, in stark contrast to his covers done with a clear, high tone such as "Nonbreath Oblige" . His covers were often tagged with "daroi" (だろい) made up of the words "darui" (だるい, lit. sluggish) and "eroi" (えろい).
He sings in a variety of genres, ranging from hit songs like "Sand Planet" , fairly unknown songs such as "をどりあそばせ。" , lively songs like "Callboy" , rock songs such as "Roki" , and slow-paced songs like "Unname ". He can also roll his tongue (巻き舌, makijita) as demonstrated in various covers e.g. in his covers of "Kowloon Retro" and "Villain" . Yuu often sings in unconventional ways, adding vocal flourishes, ad-libs, whispering, breathing and screams, in addition to distortion filters and numerous harmonies.
Yuu very rarely collaborates with other utaite, but he often does so with Vocaloid producers; the album Mitsuketa Tobira Wa is composed entirely of commissioned songs, along with a 'collaborations' section on his YouTube channel. He released two albums together with the composer Sudachi under the name "Senkou Metro", providing illustrations and vocals.
He also formed a unit with XI under the name "rascal", where they released two singles during their time together at Yaneura Yuugi, an indie scene where he performed and collaborated until 2015. He released the album Darlington together with Vocaloid producer and singer-songwriter seeeeeeecun under the name "Doctrine Doctrine".
He also sometimes does illustrations for his own covers such as his "Unhappy Refrain" and"Jingo Jungle." and has provided the illustrations for every album he has been a part of (with the exception of Darlington). He also creates the art for his own promotional materials and projects.
Yuu has produced Vocaloid originals, starting with "Akki Azami Uta" featuring GUMI. He released a full album called Rokugou Tsuuro before setting his activities as a Vocaloid-P aside. He used to be active as an indie artist in addition to being an utaite, but has since dialed it down, only writing one or two original for every album after the release of Suimyaku.
As of 2021, his most notable cover is that of Niru Kajitsu's "Wozwald" , with over 30 million views on YouTube and over 1 million views on Nico Nico. His cover was so successful that it became recognized by the original composer, and was officially released on music streaming services. His most popular Nico Nico cover is of "Unknown Mother Goose" , with over 1.7 million views on Nico Nico Douga and 3.3 million views on YouTube.
Vocal Profile[]
Vocal Type: Tenor. Vocal Range: Demonstrably at least G#2 to G#6.
Whistle Register: No. Highest note: G#6. Lowest note:?.
Significant high notes: C6: Butaisei Nanika G♯6: Unknown Mother Goose
Significant low notes: C3: Penguin's Detour G♯2: Penguin's Detour
Head voice: ?: ?
Vocal Positives: He is able to sing in a variety of different styles to match the song that he is singing. His husky voice and range with notes fits perfectly with creepy/dark-themed songs, such as "Wozwald" .
His voice is agile enough to jump 2 octaves higher in the middle of a song, notably in "Unknown Mother Goose" . He can also transition two octaves downwards without a clear transition between head and chest voice, as in his cover of "熱異常".
He can also be considered a Ryouseirui, like in his cover of "Love Me, Love Me, Love Me" , where he sings a duet by himself between a masculine and feminine voice. He often uses his higher range for chorus or serifu inserts. He has a powerful voice when singing in a high tone with force behind his vocals, particularly in "Kilmaa" .
