Namida ga Tomaranai Houkago

Debuting Kyttyee#2!!! I couldn’t resist the charm of this song, not only are the lyrics really cute, but the song itself has a charmingly simple and almost childlike melody, with sparse but effective harmonies. Of course this also makes it a good song to attempt self-harmonization on, since it’s fairly easy, with just separation [...]

Hare Ame Nochi Suki

This is another Kawaiirhea recommendation that had not originally occurred to me to cover ^.^ Plus, I felt it was about time I covered a Morning Musume song, because I like them a lot. There is again some amount of high range that does not come out as well with my current recording setup, and [...]

Kokuhaku no Funsui Hiroba

This was actually a recommendation by Kawaiirhea ^.^ And I really think this song is absolutely beautiful, and kind of melancholic, exactly my favorite type of song. Plus the instrumental track is one of the most wonderful I’ve ever heard. Not to mention there’s no complex harmonization between different members going on, despite it [...]

Airi Suzuki – The Evolution of a Voice

With her big voice and prodigious vocal control, Airi Suzuki ranks among my favorite singers in all of Hello! Project. She is able to handle all different styles of singing, from the jazzy flavor of “Boogie Train” to the cute overload in “Ookina Ai de Motenashite” to the mature pop style of “FIRST KISS”, and [...]

FIRST KISS

For a complete change of mood from cute to… something… I decided to create a cover of Aa!’s “FIRST KISS”. I think the challenge of matching Airi’s soprano acrobatics was also alluring. Since I take pride in being a soprano when singing classical music, I decided that maybe trying it on pop music [...]

Balalaika

Once you start, you can’t stop! The Koha-love is overwhelming! I had so much fun with “Chance!” that I simply could not help stop myself from recording Balalaika as well. Not only is the music video awesomely trippy, with a life-size toybox come to life sort of feel (giant teddy bears, anybody?) but the [...]

Chance!

I decided that it would be nice to have a change of pace from the slow ballads to something hyper and super-happy!!! And I think Koha is absolutely adorable and a great singer. Her voice is very unique, and I can understand how some people find it annoying (and other synonyms) but that [...]

Yume Kara Samete

This song was actually my first attempted cover, but at the time of the first recording I had not yet figured out how the microphone volume controls worked with my computer (recent computer change due to battery supply fizzing out… x_x).  Thus my first version was full of noise and bursts from holding the microphone [...]

Watarasebashi

For my first musical post, I’d like to present to you my cover of Aya Matsuura’s “Watarasebashi.”  It’s probably my favorite song, or very highly ranked among my favorite songs, from all of Hello! Project.  Matsuura is an absolutely amazing vocalist, so I have no hope actually achieving the perfection that she is, but I [...]

Hello! World

I’ve recently been introduced to the wonderful world of Hello! Project, and being very much enamored of their music, decided that it would be great fun to make my own covers of them.  Thus, the birth of ~Kyttyee☆Starz~ where I will be posting my covers!
Enjoy!
