Utaite (歌い手 utaite) is a Japanese term for people who cover previously released songs and post them on Nico Nico Douga; under the "utattemita" ("tried singing") category. The term "utaite" is unique to Nico Nico Douga singers, making it different from "kashu" (歌手 kashu); which means "singer" in a general sense.
Generally, utaite do covers of Vocaloid original songs, anime and game related songs, and J-Pop. They also do parodies with different lyrics for popular songs, intended for amusement.

Most utaite exclusively cover songs and upload under the utattemita section, but some of them have doujin circles and release original music/drama CDs during events like Comic Market and Vocaloid Master. A few utaite also have become partly or wholly professional singers and have released/will release their albums under official labels. Some examples are Valshe, Piko, and Clear.
