Now, the introduction is necessary. Here are some basic information about Sou and utaites.

『 UTAITE 』
Utaite(歌い手) is a Japanese term for people who cover previously released songs and post them on Nico Nico Douga and YouTube under the utattemita category. The term "utaite" is unique to Nico Nico Douga singers, making it different from Kashu (歌手), which means "singer" in general.
Generally, utaites do cover songs for VOCALOID original songs, anime, game-related songs, and J-Pop. They also do parodies with different lyrics for popular songs, intended for amusement.
Most utaite exclusively cover songs and upload under the utattemita section, but some of them have doujin circles and release original music/drama CDs during events like Comic Market and VOCALOID M@ster, frequently referred to as Comiket and VoMas respectively. A few utaite also have become partly or wholly professional singers and have released/will release their albums under official labels.

『 SOU』
Birthday: August 19, 1998
Sou is a younger generation utaite, who began uploading songs in 2013. He has a calm and refreshing voice that he can utilize to fit the songs that he sings. Usually, Sou will sing in an expressive and emotional tone to set the mood of a song, such as in his "Kokoronashi" cover, in which he sang in a rather sentimental and lonely tone. As such, Sou often has 'Refreshingly' or other adjectives describing his singing at the beginning of his video titles to emphasize his takes.
Although he covers many songs that fit his voice type, he occasionally covers songs such as "Ikkitousen," which has a more dance element to it, unusual for his voice type. The genres of songs he covers have also expanded over the years. Recently, he has also started to write his own original songs, such as "Noid" and "Gusha no Parade". With that, Sou has increasingly begun to expand his musical interests not just by singing, but by making music as well.
By making multiple songs and singing various covers, Sou has found more collaborative opportunities with other utaite, such as Eve and Isubokuro. He is close friends with Eve and Isubokuro and they often collaborate together, forming units named "Soborogohan" (そぼろごはん) and "EveSou"(いぶそう).
Growing larger in popularity, Sou has participated in multiple live concerts. A notable example being that Sou performed at the 2019 HikiFes live concert, singing the theme song "World Domination" and other songs as well.
As of August 2021, Sou's most viewed video is "Hare Hare Ya", with over 60 million views. The song itself is a slow, traditional-styled beat. Sou's version of the song matched the music well, leading the cover to become a huge success.
On 31 May 2021, Sou made his Virtual YouTuber debut by debuting his 3D model in a non-archived stream. He now has a second channel for livestreams too.
