Kradness

kradness is a generally popular utaite with a strong and compelling voice, who generally covers more upbeat songs.



He is known for autotuning his voice often, and so his covers are often tagged with "kerorist" (ケロリスト), a portmanteau of "kerokero" (ケロケロ, the onomatopoeia for autotune) and "terrorist" (テロリスト). As that, his voice fits songs with a slight electronic rock sound, such as those by niki, very well, such as his cover of "GLIDE"Nv. Therefore on some of his covers, he leaves a note saying that he'd suggest them pressing the browser back button, if they dislike autotuning.

kradness' voice is high, and he's been noted that at times it can even sound feminine, as seen in his cover of "Lost One no Goukoku" Nv.

In the past, he frequently did duets with Leychal. Now, it seems that his go-to duet partner is Reol, as their similarly powerful, wide-ranged, and high-tension voices compliment each other very well. In fact, the most popular covers in his Mylist, such as "Okochama Sensou" Nv are all duets with Reol.

His first cover, uploaded April 2011, was "a fact of life" Nv, originally by the band fact. His first hit solo song was his "Babylon" Nv cover, which is currently set on private. As of July 2016, his most popular solo cover on Nico Nico Douga is a dubstep remix of "unravel" Nv with 557k views, while on YouTube, it is his Giga-P remixed cover of "Senbonzakura" Nv, which has over 4 million views. His most popular collaboration cover is his "Okochama Sensou" Nv duet with Reol, which has over 7 million views on Youtube and over 2 million on Nico (as of 2016).

kradness also mixes and encodes songs for other utaite.
