A sample of a cover song by Yumeko "Sayonara no Kawari ni", composed by LeftyMonsterP |
Yumeko (ゆめこ), formerly known as Hato (はと) is an utaite with a soft, clear and uniquely gentle, high voice. However, she's also been noted to have a versatile voice, and is able to change her voice into e.g. shota or loli voices, for example in her "Konoha no Sekai Jijou" , as well as into a deep and masculine voice, such as in her "Gensou Satisfaction" or her "Children Record" , also being tagged as "ryouseirui" on those.
One might know her for her covers that include voice acting or serifu arranges, but not all of her covers have these.
She first started in 2008 with a cover of "Ishidatami no Akeki Akuma", which now is taken down; back then she called herself Kobato (小鳩), but soon changed her name to Hato (はと). It was not until 2012, that she began to do so called "utatte enjitemita" (歌って演じてみた, tried to sing and act) with including her self-made spoken lines, with her most popular cover being her voice acting & singing cover of "Ayano no Koufuku Riron" , which entered the Hall of Fame (getting 100K views) in only about two weeks.[2] The song now gained 1,015,832 views as of March 2019.
What sets her apart from other utaite is the fact, that she is capable of conveying the song's atmosphere through her singing style, also by changing her voice, as well as with her ad-libs. However her covers also can be humourous, such as her "Kisaragi Attention".
She respects Jin[3] and is a fan of the Kagerou Project[4]. In fact, she often covers songs of the series. She also used to sing a quite a few Sound Horizon songs, and stated that she respects Revo. She also respects Uni.[3]
