Risru (りする) is an utaite with a strong and rough masculine voice, yet sweet and fragile feminine voice in a wide range from low to high; leading him to be considered as a ryouseirui.
Along with Araki in his initiation, he often made new arrangements for his covers, not only the key change but also extra chorus, even created a totally different opening as in his cover of "Kanashimi no Nami ni Oboreru" . He has the aptitude to keep a long sound with vibrato, adding some highlight raucous into vigorous melodies like his "Jittle Doll" or "Aimai Dokuritsu Sengen".
His most famous solo cover is of "Namae no Nai Kaibutsu" with over 700k plays on NND and 6k mylists. However, his most famous collaboration cover is "Gurenge" ," with over 450k views on YouTube.
In between mid/treble range, his male voice sometimes has nasal sound using for mellow songs like "Ikanaide", yet vehement in up-beat songs like "Outer Science" .
His covers gradually turned into high pitch through times, adding more legato, feminine timbre, and beautiful chorus. It started with the song "-ERROR" in the middle of 2015, then continued with a triple Orangestar's songs "Kuusou Ressha" , "Asu no Yozora Shoukaihan", and "Zantou Hanabi" .
He officially became a ryouseirui after his cover of "Bokura no Saishuu Teiri" in which he took both male and female roles. Henceforth, his voice always floats in extremely high note, sometimes it is hard to classify the singer gender.
In collab covers, Risru often sings with his fellow utaite such as Araki, Houkago no Aitsu, Aimiya Zero, SILVANA, and @gain. In addition, he also makes back choruses for many covers of other utaite that he mixed.
