RO☆D

Road (stylized as RO☆D) or Gagadera is a YouTube singer, known for her nice flowing English translyrics on VOCALOID songs. At times, she might sing western songs as well.
RO☆D has a rather strong and solid mid-range voice, but can nevertheless sing in a tender and calm tone and with emotional undertone, which can fit rather slow paced piano ballads well, for example her cover of "I'll Follow You into the Dark". On the other side, she might at occasions sing with more tension such as in her cover of "Leia", which is also her first Japanese cover.
Her most popular cover is her English dub of "Hello/How Are You", for which she wrote the translyrics, with over 300K views on YouTube as of August 2011.
RO☆D once collaborated with JoyDreamer and some Nico Nico Douga singers on an English cover of "Mr. Music".
RO☆D has participated in the Nico Nico Cho Party II in 2013 as part of the "Nico Nico international exchange".The Performer tab of the Nico Nico Cho Party II website
