A sample of a cover song by Akuru "Lost One no Goukoku", composed by Neru |
Akuru (亜来), formerly known as Amatsuki (甘月), is an utaite, koemane (voice imitator)[5] and namanushi.
She mainly imitates the voice of Kagura (Gintama), Chopper (ONE PIECE) and Tainaka Ritsu (K-ON!)[4] but she has also done voices of several other characters, as listed in her second community.
As such, she has a fairly versatile voice, ranging from a high and clear voice such as in "Namae no Nai Uta" , to a mature mid-range voice like in her "Checkmate"
, to a shota-like voice like in "+♂"
.
Akuru covers different genres just as successfully. She can sing softly like in "The Beast." , cute and whispery like in "sweet parade"
and rock-ish such as in "Lost One no Goukoku"
.
Akuru loves singing very much, allegedly to the extent of singing every day.[3]
Besides singing, she also often holds namahousou, basically every day and sometimes even several times a day - usually in the evening or at night time.[3]
In her namahousou, instead of the greetings wakotsu and otsu, wakokki and otsukki is used respectively.[3]
Amatsuki is also member of CheRish ♣ FaMiliar, and they have done two live shows so far.[6][7]
In videos and such, she was often accused of ripping off the male singer Amatsuki due to having similar names. However those accusations are wrong, as her name is derived from the fact that she likes sweet things - amai (甘い) meaning sweet - and that at that time she happened to see the moon - tsuki (月) meaning moon.[3]
As of her cover of Echo of My Voice , she changed her name from Amatsuki (甘月) to Akuru (亜来).
