Suggest some good J-Pop male acts!!

[viola_123]

Ever since I started to listen to J-Pop, i've collected music of
female artists only (well,
except for Gackt ), so i'd really appreciate if you could suggest
some (or all) you favorite male acts of J-Pop

Thank you

Jpop no Jrock ? Ir u willing to trying Jurban? LIke R&B ??

[FoObY]

Mr. Children and UVERworld. UVERworld is more JROCK, and Mr. Children is soft rock and pop from what I've heard.

[Sakura_Genki]

Hmm.

Well the only male artists I listen to are Kozi, Klaha and MIRAI.

Kozi's music is quite electronic and keyboard based.
Klaha's music is really soft and soothing and he does a lot of ballads.
MIRAI's music is quite guitar based with a little bit of a classical influence, but has the voice of an angel and beautiful blue eyes. *-*

[J-Rock] Suga Shikao, probably you know about him from Death Note & xxxHOLIC. His song "Manatsu no Yoru no Yume" was the tie-in for the movie Death Note and also "19sai" was the tie-in for the anime xxxHOLIC. I recommend the later one if you like more upbeat rock, because the Death Note song is a rock ballad. I also recommend "Gogo no Parade", a summer mid-tempo dance song.

[J-Rock] Hayashi Naojiro, previously from a duo brothers group "Hirakawachi Icchoume" and he just released his first solo single recently, "hikari", which is also a tie-in for the movie "Lemon no Koro". Totally recommended.

[J-R&B] Ryohei Yamamoto, is known for his collaborations with m-flo. Sings in R&B, whether it's dance or ballad, he can tackle it easily. He also frequently covered classic ballads like All By Myself, After The Love Has Gone, etc. I recommend The Light (totally recommended), one love feat. VERBAL, Relisten feat. LISA, Anata no Te, and World, which is released in his latest album, "Relisten" and also his collab with m-flo & melody., miss you.

[J-Soul/Jazz] Shiina Junpei, the brother of the famous J-JazzRock singer Shiina Ringo. His genre covers soul and jazz music. His self-titled album is totally what you shouldn't miss. He also covered "Where is the Love?" with his sister Ringo (not the BEP ones D

[J-Soul/Jazz] Toshinori Yonekura, a classic male singer whom Kumi Koda idolizes. Recently released an album "Fall Back", an album filled with soul tracks with lead single "Whatsoever". If you prefer his jazz works, get the concept album "Cool Jamz" or "I". He also collab with Rufus Blaq in a super sexy upbeat song, "do something real".

[J-Pop] Moriyama Naotaro, people love his unique voice. Totally underrated. You should try him out. Koishikute is my fave song from him <3
Sakura, Kimi wa Gobanme no Kisetsu, and Kaze ni Natte is also worth-listening.

[J-Pop] SHOWTA., if your type of a musician is a bishounen singing heartwarming love songs, then you should try this singer out. Currently has only released 3 singles, mostly are sweet ballads. One of his b-side is an upbeat song, "Reality", which is totally awesome. For ballads, you should try the A-sides Negaiboshi, Trans-winter ~Fuyu no Mukougawa~, Hitoshizuku.
His B-side (somehow available on YT XD) Hotaru & Yuki no Oto. Can't find the one for Reality though, but you can catch its preview on his website.

[J-Rock] Kiyokiba Shunsuke, the ex-vocalist of EXILE, who is now pursuing his career in rock music. His latest single "Tengoku wa Mattekureru"

[J-Pop] WaT (Wentz Eiji & Teppei Koike), the duo who needs no introduction. Especially you're a girl, you would probably fall for these guys' cuteness and adorable smiles. Haven't heard much of them myself, but Bokura no Love Story is a must-try. Currently, they are pursuing solo career (with the other one backing up with B-side). Soft ballad "Kimi ni Okuru Uta" (Teppei's) and emotional rock number "Awaking Emotion 8/5" (Wentz's) are songs that you should not miss.
