A sample of a cover song by TokoNokoα "Asu no Yozora Shoukaihan", composed by Orangestar |
TokoNokoα (トコノコα; TokoNokoAlfa) or Tokonoko is an utaite who started singing on November 10, 2011.
He has a nasal, flat and jogtrot shota voice which is suitable for middle range. However, he can sings with sexy male voice in low tone, such as in his cover of "Unhappy Refrain". He also can make guttural sounds, as in his cover of "Baka wa Anomaly ni Akogareru" and "Otona no Omocha".
In few early years, he exposes some weak points when singing in high keys, his voice becomes shaky and unclear. In contrary, some of his covers which was intentionally sang in high tone are funny and noticable, such as his "Makeinu Shijou Shugi" and "Mahou Shoujo Koufukuron". It became better from the middle of 2014 with his great covers for high key songs such as "Gikyoku to Déformé Toshi", "Kanashimi no Nami ni Oboreru" or "Kimi no Yozora Shoukaihan".
Furthermore, he likes to make additional chorus in his covers and others, such as in his "Lost One no Goukoku" or "Let It Go".
One of his popular covers is "High Notes Vocal Range Test". It leads the trible covers of Singing Test series in a row, include "Low Notes Vocal Range Test" and "Tongue-Twister Test" in August and September 2013. Further, "Long Sound Vital Capacity Test" was uploaded in February 2014.
"+♂" is his most famous cover which has more than 440k views as of November 10, 2015.
In duet projects such as GCS with Kurokumo or with TAKUMI, he often names their covers starting with "brothers/brother and sister sang...".
