Encountered some lately, not that they CLAIM to be, some are just imitating his voice, some don’t even intend to sound like him, it’s just people MISTAKING other people as Kamiya Hiroshi (singing, mainly).
Kamiya Hiroshi DOES NOT go around singing vocaloid songs, and
he DOES NOT randomly do anime song covers in KIMOI voice (probably).
if you get sound clips/songs allegedly with Kamiya Hiroshi singing anything unofficial from sites like YOUTUBE or NICONICO Douga, please make sure it’s ACTUALLY him. If you don’t know enough Japanese and can’t be sure, PLEASE DO NOT claim that it’s him.
How to make sure it’s actually him…
1) see if the source is from something Official. e.g. a radio show that he is known to be hosting/being a guest
2) character songs that are known to be sung by him
3) if it’s from NicoNico OFFICIAL namahousou (live broadcasting). if it’s from USER namahousou then likely not him.
4) if it’s from some seiyuu community or sites sharing seiyuu stuff then it’s quite likely real.
5) MOST IMPORTANTLY: USE YOUR OWN EARS. LISTEN. The two or three falsely-claimed Kamiyan singing I saw/heard, DID NOT SOUND LIKE HIM AT ALL. Limone-sensei on Nico actually sounds rather like him, esp. the Izaya voice, but really, if you are familiar enough with Kamiyan’s voice and singing, you won’t mistake it, please. If you are not familiar enough and have just become a fan, I don’t blame you for that, but please triple check things before posting.
Yes, that’s my main point, TRIPLE CHECK FACTS AND SOURCES before you repost stuff saying it’s sung by Kamiya Hiroshi.
If you don’t know enough Japanese, ASK FRIENDS who do. There MUST be someone around that knows more than yourselves. If not, ask me. Not saying I know everything but I may be able to offer some help on the Japanese (language) side.
NicoNico Douga is a video sharing website like Youtube. The reason why things could get confusing with NicoNico is because a lot of people upload their own song covers onto the site and some specifically do voice-imitations of seiyuus. Some just sound like them I don’t know. Some are just super sexy that may make people mistake them as Kamiya Hiroshi lol. But most of the time they will state clearly whether they are trying to sound like someone or if the source of the audio/video they upload is actually official.
Nico also offeres namahousou (live broadcasting) that allows paid users to broadcast themselves live. But more recently, Nico has been working with many companies, media, anime makers etc I guess, and have been hosting a lot of ‘official’ namahousous that also feature seiyuus, politicians, and other famous people.
Although it is POSSIBLE that during these ‘official’ namahousou, or even actual radio shows, the seiyuus might be requested to sing or cover certain anime songs, that one I just reposted just did not sound like Kamiyan at all so I am calling it false. And there was another voice (not original vocal) in it too. And it was Kimoi. Im not saying Kamiyan can’t sound kimoi, just that I dont see him as someone who’d RUIN a song that way, cus the way that person sang it just didn’t sound very respectful. I dont know. Prove me wrong if you can, that’s all I need.
