Hanatan vs alfakyun? Which has the better deeper voice?

I don't know but Hanatan indeed has tons of vocal range. She's versatile.
Anyone know who sung this?

Thanks! but damn, the quality is kinda bad. I can hear static.
What year would you consider to be the peak of utaite popularity so far?
I don't really follow the scene outside of saving my favorite song cover versions, so the only impression I have of them is how they are hated by people on the vocaloid general; mostly, I assume, because they tend to make song writers reallocate their efforts into writing for human singers over vocaloids, but possibly other reasons as well.
I myself don't follow the utaite scene closely, but I would guess that peak of utaite popularity is close to the peak of vocaloid popularity, since a lot, if not most of the popular utaites got big covering vocaloid songs. Anyway, it seems that right now the utaite scene is declining, as well as the vocaloid scene, maybe becouse of the consequent lack of songs to be covered.

Those are the purist waifu fags. A lot of people love both the utaite and vocaloid scenes.
