Though she is able to easily hit the same notes most female utaite sing, her voice shines most when she covers Vocaloid original songs; particularly Kagamine Len's songs. She and singer-composer Tourai have collaborated on many projects; with the occasional piece by composer Doriko. She is also good friends with illustrator Hakuseki; hosting various live sessions together with Tourai.

Valshe's name is derived from her first album of cover songs: Valuable Sheaves.

Hakuseki does almost all of the artwork for Valshe's albums; including utattemita movies. Valshe is most commonly related to Kagamine Len in looks alone: blonde hair, blue eyes, but without the frontal sweep bangs and ponytail in back.

拘束
VALSHE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

いつか感じた
偏見と誤解の輪(ループ)
気付いた時には
取り返しがつかなくなって
「大丈夫、耐えて行ける」
そう思う度
生まれた事さえ恨めしくて
動けなくなって

初めて解る社会(いま)は
泥だらけの貶し合いで
錆び付いた鎖果てのない悲しみを
繋げる様に縛り付けた
冷たい雨が濡らす
体が憶えてる真実に涙一粒落とし
「僕らなりの生き方だ」と
呟いた声が虚しくて

grow and dead 聞こえた
賞賛は欺瞞の夢(フール)
埋めた錆色
あとどれだけ眠れば終わる
「最初から、解ってたよ」だとか
言えたなら僕らは楽になれる?
描けなくなって遠く霞む世界も
エゴイストの騙し合いで
散らばる破片は胸の中輝いて
離さない様に傷を付けた
消せない過去に一人
立ち尽くした僕の体ごと
黒い影包むなら
振り払う度壊れてく
心を刃に変えてゆく

錆び付いた鎖救えない悲しみも
逃がさない様に縛り付けて
冷たい雨が濡らす
体が憶えてる真実に涙一粒落とし

「僕らだけは忘れない」と
抱きしめて眠りにつきたい

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of VALSHE's song 拘束 (Kousoku) convey the feeling of being trapped in a society that is plagued by prejudice, misunderstanding, and controversy. The song tells the story of someone who has become overwhelmed by the negativity and toxicity of their environment, to the point where they feel trapped and unable to escape. The singer feels like they are imprisoned by the chains of a society that feeds on mutual condemnation and deprecation.

The lyrics highlight the despair and hopelessness that result from trying to live within a system that is fundamentally flawed. The repeated references to rusted chains and the endless sadness of society reflect the singer's feelings of being unable to break free from a system that is deeply entrenched and unforgiving. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is not alone in feeling this way, and that many people are trapped in the same way.

The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, with its plea to never forget the truth that the singer's body remembers, even as they cry a single tear. It speaks to the idea that even when we are trapped in a system that we can't escape, we still have the power to remember who we are and what we believe in.
