Oh dear , uh I say everything ? Hahahaha
Personally I always have liked AKIHIDE's singing voice a lot more than DAIGO's . DAIGO's singing voice in the past during his indie days was really bad & poor (when he was DAIGO☆STARDUST , his voice was still quite rough) and it took him a very long time to improve his vocals
Years ago before BREAKERZ was formed , AKIHIDE was the frontman of NEVER LAND and even at that time he sounded great
People who have never heard AKIHIDE sing before tends to get shocked cos his singing voice is very different from DAIGO
AKIHIDE's debut solo album Amber is so far his only album release that he sung in all songs but yet he nailed it so flawlessly , from the songs to the artwork that he created & etc
His other solo albums are instrumental driven . In RAIN STORY , he only sung in 1 song RAIN MAN while for his latest album Kikai Jikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland- , 1/2 the songs he sung while the other 1/2 of the album is instrumental
I have BREAKERZ's entire discography in my hard disks so if there's anything you want , I can PM you without any issues
But to answer your question , I would recommend Amber even though I like most if not all of everything that AKIHIDE has created xD

Oh yeah Kikai Jikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland- is great but I would have prefer if AKIHIDE made the album flow better cos if you listen to it the 1st time , you will not know which song/s he sing and/or not
I rather the 1st 1/2 of Kikai Jikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland- features his vocals & the 2nd 1/2 to be instrumental but that's just me x)
The photobook is fantastic , 120 pages that're all created/drawn by AKIHIDE himself
