There's a reason why Koda Kumi's where she is now. Her vocals are strong and she's capable of singing in lower octaves that not that many female artists can reach. She'd even sound flawless when she performs live. I'd say that at times, her live vocals would sound even better than her studio recordings.

I would have to agree with that. Koda is very consistent. But Mika has such a gorgeous voice that when she is on point, she's good.

Utada

[robochar]

Hitomi Shimatani XD but since she isn't on the list I voted for Hikaru Utada. ^^;

[JesA]

i choose Hikki...but if she was included, i wouldve picked Chihiro Onitsuka. her voice is just plain gorgeous.

[MsMiyabi]

Kumi Koda

Then comes Hikki

I'm glad you noticed that

[kirika]

Mika Nakashima ^-^

[mininamie]

where's namie amuro and yuna ito?

[darkswordz]

Going for Hikki. Just listen to BML and 日曜の朝. I'm amazed at how well her hit all the notes

[AlphaBlaze]

I voted for Hikki but I also think Misia has a great voice.

[Mad_Cactuar]

Oh, hell I want a re-vote. I want to change my vote. I just started to obsess about Mika and her voice is simply beautiful. Utada is too shrill sometimes but Mika just sounds perfect and laidback.

[jigglypuff]

obviously not many people here have heard MISIA because hands down she got the most awesome voice, powerful, clear, and never misses a note.

every1 should listen to her stuff.

wasurenai hibi, into the light, lovin you. good highlits of her talents

no offence to kumi fans coz i like her too but when comparing voices hell no is kumi better than misia.

agreed. she hot and all but voice not good. im not a fan of really nasal voices but she got some good songs though.

[emi♡]

^^i downloaded some of misia's stuff as previously recommended by someone else...truehappiness? maybe? I forgot who becasue they said the same as you...but I really don't think her voice is as good as Hikki's.

I do like that her voice is very unique. I hate when people sound the same...*cough* american hip-hop *cough*

[TeamAyu]

I'm going to go with Utada Hikaru because I clearly love her music above any of those other artists but if it was based on pure vocal talent that would be given to MISIA, hands down. That woman is amazingly talented.

Koda Kumi has a great voice too... she just chooses to sing a truck load of bad songs.

[Keishi]

No one. But Mika was the better-sounding from all of them.

I would rather listen to Shiina Ringo who can sing good nasally.

[BabyUtada]

I chose Utada Hikaru of course! I have just about all of her songs and I can't get enough of it. I listening to Minmi too. So if this was a multiple poll I would have chosen her too.

[shavoingin]

utada hikaru

[Ayashi]

It's a tie between Misia and Yoshida Miwa from Dreams Come True.
Utada Hikaru and Koda kumi are out of the question IMO. There are a lot of better singers in Japan, fortunately.

[Miku]

I love Mika Nakashima's voice..is so beautiful.
