Well, KIDNEY is definitely not an UTAU you download for manliness. His voice is very young/feminine, so if you're into that kind of thing; You probably won't have any complaints.


KIDNEY's recordings can be rather unstable sometimes. I noticed some problems with his k-sounds. Some of his r-sounds are also trilling r's, instead of the Japanese mix of r, d and l. 
Some of the consonant-y-vocal sounds (kyo) are also pronounced: "kiyo" instead of "kyo"
I'm also kinda sad there are only two breath recordings, but beggars can't be choosers :9
Other than that, good overall pronunciation of the vowels and the other consonants.

His voice can be rather weak on some notes, but is overall solid =w= He doesn't sound too good in the deeper notes, so keep him in the top range of the 3rd octave and the bottom of the 5th.
He's good at singing fast songs, but can sound a little wonky in the notes straight after (this can be edited out, though) He can also sing long notes really well, no problem.

The oto could use work, and I wouldn't say he's suited for some one making their first UTAU cover.

His voice sounds good with resampler.exe and fresamp.exe (somewhat, at least without the F0 flag)
He sounds like a 10 year old boy who has been smoking since he was five with TIPS.exe, you have been  warned.

Scores:
Easy-to-use: 4/10
His voice is not suitable for a lot of songs, and his oto could need work. He does have Hiragana and Romaji alias, though.
Clearness: 7/10
He /is/ a very clear voice, and holds long notes well.
Pronunciation: 5/10
Most of the sounds are ok, but some could really need some work. (I'm looking at you, rolling r's)
Quality: 7/10
Pretty standard quality (on the better side)
Oto: 6/10
Some of his consonants are badly oto'ed, and make them sound weird, especially in bigger pitch changes (example: D#5 => A#4)

Overall:
He is a good UTAU. I wouldn't recommend beginners to use him, though. If he got an ACT two with the problems (pronunciation and oto) fixed, he would be perfect. He is suitable if you need a high, soft male voice (he is voiced by a female, just so you know it)
