Independent singer-songwriter VTuber 凛々咲 (Ririsya) teams up with Hakos Baelz of hololive English for a cover of GETCHA! — the bilingual breakup anthem by Giga and KIRA featuring 初音ミク (Hatsune Miku) and GUMI, a song that has since entered the Vocaloid Hall of Legend with over 10 million YouTube views. It’s one of those source tracks that raises the stakes for anyone covering it. Ririsya and Baelz meet those stakes fully.
What the Original ‘GETCHA!’ Is and Why It Matters
Released in September 2020, GETCHA! is a collaboration between Giga and KIRA — two producers who both straddle the English and Japanese internet music scenes — and it shows in the song’s construction. It’s a bilingual EDM-pop breakup track with dual vocalists, switching between Japanese and English with a fluency that made it immediately feel like something different. The hook is immediate, the energy is high, and the dual-voice dynamic is built into the DNA of the song. Covers that don’t replicate that interplay tend to feel thin. This one doesn’t.
How Ririsya and Baelz Split the Song
The natural fit here is the dual-vocalist structure — Ririsya handles the Japanese sections while Hakos Baelz takes the English, mirroring the Miku and GUMI dynamic from the original. It’s the obvious call, but it’s obvious because it’s right. Ririsya’s voice has a clarity and warmth that suits the more melodic Japanese passages, while Baelz brings a sharper, more pointed energy to the English lines that gives the “getcha out my life” sections real attitude.
Where the cover earns extra credit is in the moments where their voices overlap. The call-and-response sections have genuine chemistry — this doesn’t sound like two people recorded separately and stitched together, it sounds like a performance. Mix engineer やっすん (Yassun) at studio Lit. deserves credit for that: the balance between the two vocalists is clean and the blend in the chorus sections is handled with real care.
Ririsya’s Voice and the Cross-Agency Angle
凛々咲 (Ririsya) is an independent singer-songwriter VTuber — no agency, building her fanbase through her own voice and song selection. A collaboration with a hololive EN member like Hakos Baelz is a meaningful crossover, the kind that exposes her to a genuinely different audience. For fans finding her through Baelz, the quality of her performance here is an immediate argument to stick around. Her vocal control on the Japanese passages is genuinely impressive — clean pitch, good dynamics, and she doesn’t get swamped by the production.
The fan response reflects this: the like ratio on release day is exceptional, suggesting both fanbases came together around the cover with real enthusiasm.
Production and Visual Presentation
The MV by 有機 星 (Yuki Sei) and illustration by ゆやぃやうい (Yuyaiyaui) give the cover a clean, cohesive visual identity that matches the song’s energy without trying to reproduce the original MV’s aesthetic. It stands on its own. The mix by やっすん at studio Lit. keeps the production punchy and clear — the original’s EDM backbone is intact, the vocals sit right where they need to, and nothing gets muddy in the busy sections.
GETCHA! is a hard song to cover badly, but it’s also a hard song to cover in a way that justifies its existence. This version justifies itself. The pairing makes sense, the vocal chemistry is real, and the execution is clean. Worth your time whether you came for Ririsya, Baelz, or the song itself.
