96Neko



96Neko (96猫) is an utaite who is well-known for her husky lower range vocals, and for being a "ryouseirui". However, she is also able to sing in a very cute female voice, most clearly seen in her cover of "Soratobazu". She also often does duets with the Kagamine duo. She also sings many parody songs, which are mostly duets with Len or vipTenchou. Some people have noted that her voice is similar to Romi Park, a Korean actress and voice actress who lives in Japan.

She is also known for adding humorous lyrics and random serifu in songs, like in "trick and treat", "Matryoshka", and "Aa, Subarashiki Nyansei".

96Neko has requested that people should not record her namahousous and redistribute them; however, she is fine with people recording them for personal entertainment usage.

Her album, Iris, which was released three days before her twentieth birthday, is her way of saying thank you to her fans and supporters prior to her turning 20. It should be considered a final statement of her teenage years as an utaite.
