Smile Who's your favorite "Japanese" Vocalist?

This is kind of like the "Who's the best vocalist in Japan" but without all the technical mumbo jumbo


I would just like to know your favorite vocalist (if you happen to think they're the best, that's okay too) in Japan?

So mine, right now, I'm really just in LOVE with Emi Hinouchi's vocals, and I think worldwide, she's definitely one of my all time favorites.

Someone else I really love, is mink. I just...love her voice...it's really oddly gorgeous. She's the reason why "Japanese" is in quotations lol

Male : Ken Hirai (have you seen the dude's live performances ? he sounds better if not the same as what you can hear on a CD )

Female : ayaka (same as Ken's)

I don't think it's easy for them to accomplish such a feat at all

really she's Tibetan? how interesting!

yeah, I kind of wanted to limit it to people who actually sing in Japan, instead of getting singers from China and Korea and such.

Go try out emi<3

OLIVIA! I guess you could say she's "Japanese" too (Half, anyway xDD) She has such a beautiful and versatile voice though o-o;; RURUTIA's voice is also precious <3

There's something about Blaise Plant (from Monkey Majik)'s voice that makes me go all melty in the knees. :3

1) Akina Nakamori

She isn't my favorite singer, far from my top 10 but her voice is just amazing. She can do no wrong

2) Ami Suzuki

Amigo's vocal range is...questionable But I just love how her voice sounds, it always sounds nice to me.


3) Akiddo Wada
I don't really like most of her music but her voice is so POWERFUL! and...manly? It's great

I really love alan's vocals, they're amazing. Her lives never fail to blow me away.

I would also say Yuna Ito, though sometimes her songs can be a bit boring. Though she's not one of my favourites.
