gero.jpgHey utaite fans!

FM radio and Nico Live collide to bring you the weekly live stream
show - "Wktk Window" on Saturday each week! And this week's
guest is utaite extraordinaire Gero!

For those in the dark about Gero, he is a fervent utaite with a
powerful set of lungs and low-pitched, albeit somewhat raspy
voice also capable of reaching high octaves. Gero loves to put
pure emotion into his songs, making him a prominent singer
among the myriad of utaite on Niconico.

television Anime "Tokyo Ravens"!
