Valshe (バルシェ, Barushe, born September 15, 1986) is a Japanese singer, signed under the Being Inc. label. She is well known as a "Ryōseirui" (両声類?, lit. "both voice types"), being able to sing both "male" and "female" voice types.[1][2]

Career

[edit]

Valshe debuted as a Niconico singer in 2009. Occasionally her songs are made by the Vocaloid producer, doriko. She is also known to be good friends with the illustrator of Niconico, Hakuseki, who does almost all of the artwork for Valshe's albums and utattemita videos.

In the beginning of her career as a professional singer, Valshe used to appear as an avatar illustration (drawn by Hakuseki) with blonde hair and blue eyes. Her first appearance as herself is on the cover of her 6th single, "Butterfly Core".[3][4] She released her first music video showing her own face for the song "Butterfly Core", which was featured on her 4th album V.D.

Valshe held her first live concert "Live the Joker 2013" at the Akasaka Act Theater on November 30, 2013.[5][6][7][8][9]

Valshe voiced Hayato in the Japanese version of Fire Emblem Fates.

In August 2017 Valshe collaborated with Vocaloid producer Doriko on his compilation album Doriko 10th Anniversary Tribute with the song "Ame ka Yume" (飴か夢).[10][11][12]
