Song of the Day: Otonoke Covered by Kuraiinu & Louverture feat. His Mom and Dad.

This cover dropped a little less than two weeks ago and I wanted to highlight it due to it being black history month. Kuraiinu is a Utaite Youtuber.  According to the Utaite wiki, a “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.”  They usually cover vocaloid original songs, anime, video game related songs, and J-pop. Kuraiinu is a Black Utaite creator known for his Raps and singing covers. He has covered songs such as “Bling-Bang-Bang Born”, “Song of the Dead”, “Motteke! Sailor Fuku”, etc. He has been in the industry for over a decade and was on hiatus for 8 months up until this song premiree . He surprised his audience  by dropping this gem of a cover. You can feel the care that went into this cover from the production of the song to the video’s quality. And while the translations are not 1100 hundred percent accurate, the creativity makes up for that. You can feel the passion that went into this piece and I felt it would be best to highlight his efforts to other people.
