SIAM SHADE “1/3 of Innocent Emotions” by ZARD Sakai Izumi (AI cover) / SIAM SHADE Rurouni Swordsmanship

[Assumptions]There are limits to AI covers. Since it is not an imitation by a human, it can sometimes be difficult to separate yourself from the original song’s singing voice and singing style, and data bugs and frays can occur here and there, causing your ears to get dirty. We are also working on the basis of “I asked the famous J-POP songs to be sung in a voice similar to Sakai Izumi,” so we would appreciate your understanding that this is not just about pursuing a ZARD-like feel 🙇 ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————- I watched Rurouni Kenshin in real time. It’s nostalgic! Here’s how well he matches with Sakai Izumi. The pitch is #3.0, which is standard for male vocals. It’s not too high instep, it fits well and neither is it good nor bad. There were no good points in the A-melody B-melody and the chorus, and it became a rock song where Sakai sang normally. I think Sakai Izumi’s reproducibility is particularly high in the bass part of the A-melody. Also, while checking the instrumentals, I thought the synthesizer was somehow like a ZARD song, and it turns out that the arrangement was Akashi Masao. Of course, it makes sense that it has an affinity with Zard. Regarding vocal conversion, the vocals in the part where “I don’t understand it!” were a bit of a shout, so converting them with AI created a bug, which was difficult to fill in. Well, up until this time, I’ve been a little too much for male rock. There are many attractive female artist songs, and I’m making them very slowly now, but at the beginning of my debut, I prioritize the surprise and freshness of Sakai Izumi from AI ZARD singing men’s songs, and it’s all rock with male vocals. I think I’ll try putting out a ballad next time. If possible, a woman. But I’m scared to be told that my voice doesn’t change. Finally, although there are mixed opinions about AI covers, I am experimentally producing them while respecting the original song and slowly and carefully searching for songs that match Sakai Izumi’s singing voice. Of course, ZARD and Sakai Izumi from those days remain the best in their original form.
