https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRLLownLhuUWhen it comes to karaoke streams, it's hard for me to choose because he's done a lot of songs I really desperately wanted to hear from him. I found I couldn't shut up when I was trying to pick some standouts, so fuck it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJYMgYMvprY - I loved both of his Remioromen covers (Sangatsu Kokonoka and Konayuki), Chiisana Koi no Uta, Koi, Takane no Hanako-san, and Eikou no Kakehashi. I would absolutely love for him to revisit some of these now he has a better mic and has had months of practice, and also has less trepidation over karaoke streams.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkGNX3VzTGk - GO! is very endearing because god he was fighting for his life, the fact he sang Arashi and TOKIO just made me happy as an idol fan, and Melissa was great - it's one of the few Porno Graffiti songs he hasn't done multiple times, though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVUZmB1xUmA - Hot Limit wasn't his best vocal performance but it's long been on my wishlist so I lost my goddamn mind when it happened! I also really liked HELLO, and he revisited Kokoroe from a previous karaoke, and the difference!!! Also of course, Rewrite. He's done Rewrite several times and they all have their own charm, but this one being the encore just had a nice feeling to it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lxvwaPmB_0 - This one's a fairly short karaoke, but even so! It's actually really hard for me to pick favourites here. He revisited a bunch of songs from previous karaokes and his practice really showed its worth yet again. Cherry was really nice too, and Suirenka was absolute scuff kino. Kanade suits his voice really well!
I like Ganchan's singing a lot, and seeing him make real progress with it through his monthly utawakus makes me really happy. He's working so fucking hard on something that is fully out of his comfort zone, but he's having fun with it and that's what matters most to me. I also really love his song choices which is a big bonus!
