A sample of a cover song by Senra "Matryoshka", composed by Hachi |
Senra (センラ) is an utaite whose voice is noted to sound a little like seiyuu Kamiya Hiroshi's.
As of February 2010 during the Durarara!! boom, he uploaded a voice imitation version of "Ren'ai Circulation", "Izaya Circulation" in which he imitated above mentioned Kamiya's voice, and which was also his first cover, to get into Utattemita ranking. At that time, his videos earned tags such as "a wild Izaya" (野生の臨也, Yasei no Izaya), "not annoying Izaya" (うざくない臨也, uzakunai Izaya) or "Kanra ver." (甘楽ver).[3] Up to date it's still his most viewed cover with 226K views as of August 2013.
However, it has been noted, that he can also imitate the voices of Hitachiin Kaoru from Ouran High School Host Club, voiced by Fujita Yoshinori.[3]
Nevertheless, Senra also sings normally, without voice imitations, very often. His voice has a subtle nasal but unique tone to it.
Senra often collaborates with fellow utaite Hosaka☆ on both parody and regular covers. The two have also released a duet album together, Thousand☆Star and are both part of the group Nico Pri.
Senra also has a close relationship with Urata, Shima and Aho no Sakata. They team up for a group named UraShimaSakataSen, sing together and often meet each other in real life.

Trivia
- His original name was Mimisen (耳せん) which came from that one time, when Senra was in a train, and next to him there was an old guy, wearing earplugs. However since June 2008, he has been known under the name Senra.[3]
- Instead of "utattemita" (歌ってみた) he puts "utattemitara" (歌ってみたラ) by merging "utattemita" with his name.
- He seems to be scared of spiders; an UraShimaSakataSen broadcast started slightly late because of his fear of spiders. [4]
