A sample of a cover song by MidoriInu. "Kisaragi Attention", composed by Jin |
MidoriInu. (みどりいぬ。) is an utaite who started in January 2011. Currently, their most popular cover, their K-ON! parody of "Matryoshka", has over 326K views on Nico Nico Douga, as they are popular for imitating Toyosaki Aki, who voices Hirasawa Yui from the anime K-ON! in some of their covers.
Their voice is soft, clear and very gentle, and can at times sound particularly cute, to the point of sometimes being tagged with "cute is justice" (かわいいは正義, kawaii wa seigi).
MidoriInu. has said on their blog that they do not want to be identified as a male or female and "to refrain from making comments on his/her gender." They also state that they are sorry for all the trouble the issue has caused.[2]
It seems that MidoriInu. favors a female image due to the fact that most original illustrations made for their covers depict them as a female and that they have almost never covered a song in a "male voice". However examples of songs they covered with a male voice would be "Sakura to Boku to Ano Ko ni hshs na Kimochi" or "Nekomimi Archive"
