double post, but I want to get into some sort of discussion in this thread.

Umm... I never heard any of his songs before, so I'm wondering which ones I should try first ; which songs someone can recommend to me?

^what kind of song that you like?
ballad? rock? RnB? Pop? Soul? Hip-Hop?
if you want something easy listening, slow rock, ballad...then you will like his music...
his single "Forever Song" is nice...
or you can download his latest album which is nice too...

I listen to all those genres you mentioned, so any genre is okay. :)

^just try listen to his latest album "Alright" its really good...
he used a jazz beat too in his song...

^ ok, I'l try out that album, thx! :)

omg he's so cute. Like SO ADORABLE.

I really like the song about scales.. it's nice, I'm slowly listening to him on youtube, and I'm even signing up to last.fm just to listen to him, so if he has a lasting impact on me, I shall download his stuff!

I don't listen to boy singers like ever... the last one was like Ken Hirai but I lost interest in him.

Cutie really :heart

omg doesn't anyone love Hata-san????

I LOVE his songs! My favorites are 僕らをつなぐもの, 風景 and 朝が来る前に. I have not downloaded his second album yet though... :(
