NAMI‘s ENDING NOTES:
So this week’s No.1 is ” ルシルシ★シャダイフィーバーを大天使に歌わせてみた【エルシャダイ】#
by Elshaloid. Congrats!
Well, we had Elshaloid as No.1 for two weeks.
We should keep eyes on El shaddai who is still very popular!
See you next time!
READERS’ PICKS:
Each week we’ll feature one reader’s video pick. If you’d like to see your pick here, please comment and list the video and why you like it; it can be any video, so long as the main focus is UTAU!
Direct quote this week from random anon – “Uh, let’s see, rec… rec… Reeeeeeeeeeeeec… okay… okay. Think I got it. “masquerade” by Shouka Tori. (Why do I always like the obscure ones?).” This song was produced by Nemuno. Wow, this is a very smooth voice, and a great song!
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Unfortunately, I’ve been unable to dig up much information on El Shaddai/Elshaloid, other than you usually see them in silly stuff. If anyone can give me some more information, I’d greatly appreciate it. I never paid much attention to these types of UTAUloids before, though the silly videos can be entertaining at times, but the serious songs/videos are much better in my opinion.
Besides El Shaddai, we had another week of mostly new songs (only four returning from last week). I highly recommend #5, #6, #8 (if you didn’t catch it last week), and #21.
Till next week feel free to throw out any UTAU recommendations and I’ll see you, same place, same time!
