Itou Kashitarou (伊東歌詞太郎, Kashitarou Itou), formerly known as weezer, is a s… Read Full Bio ↴Itou Kashitarou (伊東歌詞太郎, Kashitarou Itou), formerly known as weezer, is a singer-songwriter and utaite known for his strong, clear, "refreshing", and earnest-sounding voice, with a narrow, almost quavering vibrato. Although this distinct vibrato is occasionally described as being fluttery and slightly "peculiar", his voice is commonly considered to be "warm" and pleasant to listen to. He is a technically sound singer, capable of hitting notes cleanly and effortlessly as well as having a decent vocal range; he is also very good at controlling his singing volume.

His first upload was in fact not a cover, but an original VOCALOID song titled "Namida ga Koboreru Mae ni" Nv using Hatsune Miku, after which he was given the -P honorific and dubbed FuwamokoP (ふわもこP). In addition to VOCALOID work, he posted a few acoustic and arranged covers on the side under the utaite name weezer; but though they were well-received, their view counts almost never broke the 10K mark. His cover of "Melt" Nv , posted in early 2012, was his first breakthrough hit - shortly afterwards, he created a new account, changing his utaite name to Itou Kashitarou. He has since deleted his old account, but despite this, the videos posted on it remain viewable. He continues to upload original VOCALOID works, although he is not as active in songwriting as he is in uploading covers.

He is good friends with Amatsuki, with whom he often collaborates, and is also friends with the illustrator and mangaka Kuwahara Souta, who has illustrated some of his twitter avatars. He is a close, longtime friend of LeftyMonsterP (with whom he forms the unit Itowokashi) and often collaborates with him, including composing songs or having lives together. They have known each other since childhood, and performed together in middle school. Whenever he performs live as Itou Kashitarou, he wears a fox mask, while LeftyMonsterP wears one of several other masks.

His first entry into the utattemita category was an acoustic cover of the pillows' "Strange Chameleon"Nv, however his first cover under his present name was "Narisumashi Gengar"Nv, which currently has 378K views and 12K Mylists. His first hit cover was "Shiwa"Nv, which currently has over 381K views and 28K Mylists, and is the most popular cover of that song; while his most popular solo cover to date is "Pierrot", which currently has over 2 million views and 40.4K Mylists as of January 2015.

聴こえるボクを呼んでる
ユメが動き出すスタート

抜け出せないルーティン気付かぬフリして
過ごしていた毎日を

耳に宿った止まらない衝動が
今飛び出そうとしてる

恋に落ちるよりも早く奪われたマイハート

ねえ聴こえるボクを呼んでる
音の渦に飲み込まれてゆく
心のままに叫ぶよ
ユメが動き出すスタート

再生ボタンを押した瞬間に
胸を焦がした電流は
ハウリングみたいに時が経つほどに
大きく鳴り響いてる
きっと言葉だけじゃ足りない歌に乗せて放つ

ねえ聴こえるボクを呼んでる
音の渦に飲み込まれてゆく
ライトが照らす未来に
全て委ねよう

聴こえるボクを呼んでる
音の渦に飲み込まれてゆく
心のままに叫ぶよ
ユメが動き出すスタート
胸を焦がす感動が
何処にも無い共有が
溢れそうな感情が
ここにあるから
誰も居ない空間が

歓声に変わるまで
もう迷わないスタート

The chorus talks about the singer hearing a call that draws them into a vortex of sound and the beginning of a journey.

The line "心のままに叫ぶよユメが動き出すスタート" (I'll scream from my heart, my dream will begin with a start) shows that the singer is willing to let go of their fears and act with their heart.
