[Queen Bee]

Here are my thoughts on the rest:

Fukuyama Masaharu: His voice is so amazing!
DAIGO STARDUST:
Kanon Wakeshima: She has an excellent voice and like Kalafina I love hearing the classical music!
Kuriyama Chiaki: I definitely like what I'm hearing. If I'm not mistaken, is she the young woman who played Go Go in Kill Bill?
Anna Tsuchiya: Her style is amazing! I love a female rocker!
OLIVIA: She's so amazing! I wish she would start releasing music again
Mika Nakashima: So far it's been hit and miss but the hit has always been great.
Tommy February6/Heavenly6: I decided to give both Tommy's a shot and I have to say they are both fun and have great music! It's fun that I can choose whether I want to listen to either pop or rock with the same artist
Ami Suzuki: So far I'm liking her early work with Avex but I really love her albums DOLCE and Supreme Show
Halcali: Ok, I'm in!
Singer Sen: Wow! Her music is pretty cool!
MAA: Can her music get any more epic! I think I might be in love!
MADEMOISELLE YULIA: I love her music! It's so fun and for me very catchy!

BRIGHT
globe
2NE1

Male solo
Koshi Inaba (Usually, I would recommend listening to Shian first. But, I'm recommending Hadou to start off with instead. It's an album that has a YUI vibe to it. Especially the song "The Morning Call"! )

Time to start sampling again! Thanks for the recommendations!

And all 3 of them in the group have been in the industry for a really long time , especially frontman DAIGO . This year's his 15th year in the business :O

MY - His mentor is Jin Nakamura who composed some of the best hits around , such as EXILE's Ti Amo , LOVERS AGAIN

Ken Hirai - , yeah bye my melody is epic if not hilarious

Shota - Outta all the studio albums he released so far , COLOURS is my fave as it's so musically versatile

ABC - yeah 2012 is my fave album outta the 3 albums ABC has released . I don't really like BLACK LIST & Q.E.D. that much but 2012 is very enjoyable + his 5 singles 5 months project was done so well

Also if you're in ABC or BREAKERZ's fandom or vice versa , chances of you being in their fandoms either 1 or both is very high since DAIGO & yasu are very chummy together xD

Himuro - I'm not very familiar with his older solo works but his ex band BOOWY , 1 of their most known songs is Marionette

Saito - he can play a lot of instruments , not just the guitar & he does look & sound as though he's a drunkard

I'll definitely order Breakerz's Best of album! Along with a slew of other CDs now!

Now I need to start visiting the artist's threads and get to know more fans! Thanks for all the recommendations so far! Please keep the recommendations coming!
