Nico Nico Singers

So the small IRC community I live in and group of friends I chat with. We have been in this new craze about the NicoNico Singer [chorus]. There are many different singers and many different groups comprised of these singers. The NicoNico Singers are doujin singers (fan singers) that mainly sing vocaloid songs, occasionally you will hear them singing with vocaloids. At times their solo versions are added together with others to form the chorus versions. Other times they purposefully form an actual chorus group. If you do not know what NicoNico is; it is short for Nico Nico Douga. Nico Nico Douga is a Japanese video sharing sight much like Youtube. In my opinion Nico Nico is much better than Youtube. Getting back to the Nico Nico Singers then, there are many great voices out there and some less to be desired, but all in all a very entertaining group of people. I will post some videos of some songs that I enjoy and also list who my favorite Nico Nico Singers are.

*Note* ~For those of you who are new to seeing Nico Nico Chorus videos. Each singer has a character associated with them and their name printed on it. When the character either shows up or is highlighted that person is singing. The characters are not static to a specific person so pay close attention to the names on the character. Enjoy~

Favorite Male Voices: Clear, ぱにょ(Panyo)

Favorite Female Voices: ルシュカ (Rushuka), 花たん (Hana-tan), うさ (Usa), ヤマイ (Yamai)

Various Nico Nico Artists – Last Night, Good Night <– All time favorite and Clear’s voice is outstanding in this

Rushuka – sign <– I think she has one of the best female voices ^^

Hana-tan – Hope <– I think she sounds like Olivia when she did inspi’ Reira

Yamai – Just Be Friends (piano Ver)

Panyo – From Y to Y

Clear – When Love Ends for the First Time

    Since I don’t have the liberty to browse the internet as much as some in our group I never got the chance to come to know these singers until you showed me a link to their songs. And thanks to you I got their chorus version of Last Night, Good Night stuck in my head x3

    Anyways so far I like Luschka(I’m just typing it the way I saw her name on one of the videos you linked :P ) the most, I’ll need to listen more to the others though x3

    Yeah I can but seems like the official romanization for her is Luschka. I actually looked into that and did some research and apparently it’s supposed to be spelled Luschka.

    Rushuka is correct though if you’re going for a directly syllable per syllable. Can’t help it if the Japanese don’t have a La Li Lu Le Lo x3
