Liura Tests Retuned Audio and Real-Time Effects in a Singing Stream

INDEPENDENT — Liura opened an *utawaku*, or singing stream, on Monday with a sound setup he had reworked beforehand. He said the stream doubled as a test and that he would keep adjusting as he went.

The first stretch went to levels. He checked the volume on his own phone, nudged the balance between the backing track and his vocals down in small steps, and sang a first song to hear the result. He judged the sound better than before and went on with the show.

“Doesn’t this feel really like a live show?” — Liura, midway through “Kyoran”

Next he tried a tool that lays effects over his voice in real time, which he said someone else had made and which he found easy to use. He heard the drive effect land and said it widened what he could do. He then sang “Kyoran,” and partway through asked whether it didn’t sound very much like a live show.

From there he worked through a mix of songs, taking requests after a warm-up. A Halloween song came first, though he said he had pitched the key too high and left for water afterward. For “Yobanashi Deceive” he lowered the key before singing, and he later took on backnumber’s “Heroine,” a song he said he had rarely sung, saying winter was coming.

With requests piling up in chat, he chose a last song and sang “1,150,000 km no Film,” then said his high notes would not come out. He promised a rematch in about a year, said a cover video could be released the day after tomorrow, and signed off with the “otsuriu” farewell his viewers use.

The stream drew 24 Super Chats. Viewers wrote that it felt close to a real concert, and many welcomed the return of his full model.
