Jel, an utaite (vocalist who uploads covers of other artists' songs to video sites such as Niconico Douga and YouTube) and member of the popular group Strawberry Prince, will release his first full album on February 24th.
The title, Believe, is said to express his gratitude to all of the listeners who have believed in him and supported him until now. The release will feature 15 tracks, including compositions from creators like rerulili,
Hachioji-P, Umetora and R Sound Design and a new track featuring lyrics written by Jel himself.
The album will be available in three editions. The limited CD+DVD edition will add a bonus disc containing Jel's first music video featuring live footage (as opposed to animation). It was noted that while the music video will be shared
on YouTube and other video sites at a later date, the DVD will also feature exclusive making-of footage.
The other limited edition will feature a bonus CD with an exclusive voice drama that
Jel wrote, recorded and edited himself instead, while the regular edition will feature just a single CD.
Jel's colour in Strawberry Prince is orange, and he is the "entertainer" of the group. In addition to performing covers and original songs, he uploads various comedy skits to sites such as YouTube and TikTok, including parodies of otome
games and a popular series called "Tooi-san", and he is active as a live streamer on platforms such as Twitcasting and Niconico Live as well.
Videos for Jel's original songs Poker Dance and JUMP AND FLY can be viewed below. Both videos feature English subtitles that can be enabled by turning on captions and adjusting the language settings. Jel's other original
tracks and covers can be found in this YouTube playlist.
