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 ↴

あいつの気取った振る舞いが妙に鼻についた
希望した通りの将来が安く買えたらしい
桁違いの枠組み(スキーム)で囲って暴落した時の
偉いおじさんたちのレビューは一語一句漏らさず記せ
過剰過ぎる期待があったはずの可能性も潰す
欲しがれば欲しがったぶんだけの価値を
希望的観測の中で誰のために求める？
君が作ってきたWISHLIST(リスト)の中に

僕が欲しがってるものはひとつもないよ
「成功するための100の方法(メソッド)を教えます」
上から目線のわりには大した事言わない
「もっともらしい言い訳」は大抵正午には売れます
優先順位の高い場所で光って真っ逆さまに落ちた
こじらせてしまったのはタチの悪い風邪みたいなもの
楽を商品(アイテム)にしちゃって息の荒い時代に
苦労買えなんてご冗談試供品(サンプル)でもハケない
僕が作ってきたWISHLIST(リスト)の中で
本当に必要(マスト)なものはいくつあるでしょう？
要らないものばかりが指の先で弾かれていった
右肩上がり(インフレ)予想通り高騰した価値が
実際の性能(スペック)に見合わないことにまだ気付かない
欲しがれば欲しがったぶんだけの価値を
一過性の流行のなかで誰のために求める？

君が作ってきたWISHLIST(リスト)の中に
僕が欲しがってるものはひとつもないよ

Overall Meaning

The song "WISHLIST" by VALSHE starts off with the unease of the singer towards someone's pretentious behavior that rubs them the wrong way. The singer then talks about how their wishes for their future have been bought cheaply and they are now surrounded by a framework that has caused a market crash. The singer advises to note down everything the influential people say about the market crash. The singer talks about how the excessive expectation and possibilities that they had has been shattered by the market crash, and questions the purpose of holding onto such hope.

The singer then questions whose benefit the things on their wishlist are serving, as they realize that there isn't anything they really need or want on it. The pretentious people who claim to know the methods for success have nothing significant to offer, and excuses that sound convincing rarely hold any water. The singer says that they've gotten caught up in something that's like a troublesome cold and states that items that crave to make life easier aren't going to help in this era of difficult living. The singer emphasizes that the things that we crave is only valuable as much as we crave for it in a time that’s fleeting, and questions again who the wishlist is for when it comes to finding happiness.

The song offers a critique on the culture of consumerism where people constantly want more and are always influenced by external factors. VALSHE is urging listeners to think deeper and to question the purpose of their desire for certain things. In a world where people are always grading themselves with the success or possession they have, "WISHLIST" by VALSHE asks us to take a step back and consider what really matters.
