Name: Baby Bird
Origin: Kaf

I'm not going to preach to any choirs here on this one, as for better or worse, this song connected with you even more than it did for me. So instead, I'll just take a more impersonal approach.

Kaf is a virtual singer associated with a famous vocaloid producer. Her voice is unique and well... She's really good. The entire project surrounding her is. I first became aware of her 6 months ago, shortly after she released a cover of a song called Synchrocyclotron Spiritualizer. It wasn't really anything special for her, but it captured my attention enough for me to start checking out her other stuff and following her (loosely, in a strictly just "I subscribe to her" sense).

As it turned out, Baby Bird was the song released just before it, and when I got to it, with its lack of subs and all at the time, having just gone through everything else up to that point... I still cried. Even among the many other songs released before it that were equally powerful, it's still the one that hit me the hardest. Perhaps because it really feels like a culmination of everything she had done up until that point, while also marking a clear turning point for her.

You see, the first few videos on her channel were previews, of a sort. The third one turned out as her 6th video, and her first music video, Ito.

The first two though, which were much more like conceptual teasers, did not get the same treatment.

Or, well, not until Baby Bird, that is.

This was the real point I cried.

Not that the rest in between it all wasn't already emotional enough

Anyway, since then... Well, she simply hasn't stopped getting better.

That song marked another turning point for her, if it's not obvious from the 4.4 million views.

Her last really major one was that arranged cover of Inochi ni Kirawarete Iru I already shared. Normally, one wouldn't exactly classify something like that as a key song, but because it was her... Well, it just is.

Oh yes, by the way. It's her first anniversary today. It looks like something's releasing in 8 hours.

In the meantime, I'd like to add that she had her first album(s) release last month and they are breathtaking. You can find them here:

Oh yes, I should also mention her One Man Live from August 1st. It was a phenomenal event, several hours long, all fully streamed on youtube before being removed immediately after it finished. Thankfully, you can still find it on torrent sites and I cannot recommend enough that you find and watch it. It also features acknowledgements from several others from my nominations, like YuNi and of course AZKi, and well. Without a doubt it was the best thing I watched this year.
