Overview

Utaite refers to singers who cover songs and upload them to Japanese video sharing sites such as Nico Nico Douga and YouTube. The term is not a specific anime or manga series, but rather a subculture and community centered around amateur and semi-professional vocalists, often covering Vocaloid, anime, and J-Pop songs. Utaite have played a significant role in Japanese internet music culture and some have gone on to professional music careers.
