A sample of a cover song by VipTenchou "Matryoshka", composed by Hachi |
vipTenchou (vip店長) is an utaite known for being a ryouseirui. As a result, he is often tagged with "vipTenchou is ♂" (vip店長は♂) instead of just his name.
His voice is cute, high, and somewhat thin, with a distinct quavering vibrato. In some cases, he can sing higher than a normal woman with practically no effort.
His most viewed cover is his "Matryoshka" , which has already earned over 4.3 million views as of March 2015.
His normal speaking voice could easily be mistaken as that of a woman's, and he seems to find it difficult to speak in a masculine tone.[2]
He seldom covers songs with a deeper or mid-range voice, but however has shown that he can also do so, in his "Rolling Girl" he first sings in his usual high timbre, and later one sings in a more boyish voice.
On February 22, 2012, he released two albums titled "YES" and "NO". The "YES" album has a more "mature" or "sensible" feel to it whilst the "NO" album has a more "delinquent-like" or "yankee" concept.
In his namahousou on June 22, 2015[3], he officially announced his retirement. vipTenchou stopped all singing activities after the graduation of Smiley*2G and his last album Shikakubatsu was released on August 26, 2015. A blog about his retirement was posted few hours after that, on June 23, 2015[4]. Despite retiring, he still comes in for a few songs every now and again.
In July of 2018, he returned as a vtuber by the name of AMENOSEI and continues to create covers under that alias[5].

Trivia
- He does not have a set job, he is a part-time job hopper.[citation needed]
- He is known for having an obsession with bloomers. This obsession is referenced in several parodies, most famously his cover of "Matryoshka"
with 96Neko.
- He uses the personal pronoun 俺 (ore), which is more masculine than the male personal pronoun 僕 (boku) or the gender-neutral 私 (watashi). Many fans find the juxtaposition of his masculine speech and high, delicate speaking voice endearing.[2]
- His favourite manga is Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi.[citation needed]
- He would hold a namahousou with Rumdarjun every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month at 9pm, entitled "Rumdarjun to vipTenchou no Datenshi Tsuushin" (Rumdarjun and vipTenchou's Fallen Angel Communication).
- In his namahousous' he wears a wrestling mask and a black hat with hair attached to it.
