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 ↴

泣き出す時いつも
ぎゅっと抱いていればいい?
蜜を舐めとる隙に
言いかけた何かを塞いだ
目を閉じて手を握る
どうか噛みつかないで、と
夢見て眠る頬撫でていても
爪立てて牙を剥く

ちょっと怯む僕の顔
覗いて笑うのは君か
君の瞳(め)か
いま君が欲しくて
強請る餌(もの)は
何だって与えてきたはずだろう?
そしてそれ以上を愛と呼ぶのならば
君が泣いて喚く程に
理解(わか)らなくなるよ

「しがみつく弱さも
ずっと続く訳じゃない」
そんな想いの先に
ハッピーエンドはあるのだろうか?

傍にいて触れていて
妙にシリアスなlate at night
また涙流して脅す様に
爪立てて牙を剥く
ちょっと傷ついた表情(かお)で
守っているものは君の心...なんで?
いま君が欲しくて
強請る餌(もの)は
何だって与えてきたはずだろう?
そしてそれ以上を愛と呼ぶのならば
君が泣いて喚く程に
理解(わか)らなくなるよ
信じると言うなら縛らないで
どうしても見えない奥のその奥
そしていま以上近くに寄るのならば
傷ついても傷つけても

恨まないでほしい
きっとお互い様なふたりだから

Overall Meaning

The song "Leopardess" by VALSHE talks about a complicated and tumultuous relationship between two people. The first verse talks about the singer's vulnerability and how they need their partner to hold them tightly during moments of crying. However, the partner has a tendency to interrupt the singer's attempts to communicate their feelings, betraying them while pretending to care. Despite this, the singer still wants their partner and has given them everything they want, yet the partner's actions and love have become incomprehensible and confusing. In the second verse, the singer wonders if their relationship can have a happy ending, despite the seriousness and tears that come out at night. The partner still causes them pain, but the singer guards and cherishes their partner's heart, even though they don't understand why they keep wanting them.

The chorus emphasizes how love can become unrecognizable when it goes too far, and that asking for too much could lead to the relationship being unmanageable. The final line of the chorus states that the singer will stop understanding as the partner cries and wails more. The bridge talks about not restraining anyone's beliefs and not punishing them for their actions. The singer wants to be closer to their partner but also acknowledges that their relationship might hurt one another, and they should accept each other for who they are.

Overall, "Leopardess" portrays a relationship that is difficult to comprehend and is not perfect. It acknowledges the vulnerability and need for affection in a relationship while accepting the imperfections and painful moments that can lead to growth and understanding.
