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.

VALSHE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

カタコトと小さな音立てて動き出した人形
お辞儀をしてニコリと笑う不思議の国の人形

今日はよく来たね、と迎え入れた家の中では
冗談もそこそこに硝子のお菓子をくれた

「嫌いだ」って目をする僕に
手を差し出して引きつった笑み

教えてどんな態度でいたら
正解なの? 何がダメなの? どうして?
僕はシラナイノニ…

欲望という名のコインでいびつに動く人形
慌ただしく何か探し回る血眼の人形

きっとその姿を「変なの」と言っちゃいけなくて
窮屈な世界が不安で怖くて泣いた

「嫌いだ」って目で言う僕を
彼らはちょっと遠巻きに見て
やめてよどんな物貰っても
僕には全部信じられない

「嫌いだ」って目をする僕に
手を差し出して引きつった笑み
教えてどんな態度でいたら
正解なの? 何がダメなの? どうして?
僕はシラナイヨ
シラナイノニ…

カタコトと小さな音立てて動き出した人形
お辞儀をしてニコリと笑う不思議の国の人形

チラチラと見え隠れするのは排他的な願望
使い使われ騙し騙されそれも皆、人間

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of VALSHE's song "Human Dolls" speak from the perspective of a doll, describing how it behaves and how it is perceived by humans. It details how the doll is wound up and starts to move with a clatter of noise, and how it bows and smiles in a curious manner. The doll is welcomed into a house, but despite being given glass candy, there is an unsettling air of discomfort as the doll is unsure how to behave, constantly asking what is right and what is wrong. As the doll further explores its surroundings, it encounters other dolls that are moving in an inconsistent manner, apparently driven by an elusive desire. The world of dolls is revealed to be one of confusion and obfuscation, where nothing is quite as it seems.
