A sample of a cover song by Shijin "Nou Shou Sakuretsu Girl" -CD version-, composed by Rerulili |
Shijin (詩人) is an utaite who started in 2011 with a short parody cover of "Imitation Black.".
Shijin's voice presumably falls into the mid-tone range, as heard in the 'normal' speaking parts of his covers. He has never sung seriously except for a line or two, and most of his covers include his high pitched, 'feminine' voice and his deep, thick voice. He often uses these three types in his covers, roleplaying with himself.
The tags he often uses are 叫んで (sakende, lit. shout) as he tends to scream a lot, 喋って (shabette, lit. to chatter) as he often adds dialogues in his covers, and 楽しく (tanoshiku lit. fun). He tends to colour code his voices in songs, and he can use up to five different types as seen in his Raspberry*Monster cover.
He is also capable of producing an ikebo, though these instances are extremely rare and are sometimes overlapped by screaming or other voices. This can be heard in his Ai no Scenario cover, with the first chorus being uninterrupted while in the last chorus it is being masked by other voices.
Even in his covers with other utaite, he tends to sing freely in his usual style such as in the "LOVE Machine" cover that was sung with Kogeinu and Akatin, despite the other two singing properly.
Most of the serifu that are featured in his covers are related to food, namely ramen. This can clearly be seen in his "Kochira, Koufuku Anshin Iinkai desu." (This is, the Happiness and Peace of Mind Committee.) cover.
His most popular cover to date is his Let it Go cover, which currently has 3.3M views and 78K Mylists as of 2017, and it has earned the NicoNico_Legendary_Crusaders_of_2014 tag.
