Who's the best vocalist?

[kang daesung]

It's too bad the ones with actually good voices are absolute nobodies like Emi. Also, Stephanie.

^I heard Stephanie had a good voice...but I never got to download any of her stuff...I think I'll go searching. I need some new music.

@mishidabo: imo her voice, while good live, is quite boring. She's got that typical lower Japanese voice...kinda like the way Ai Otsuka has that typical high voice.

Don't bother

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

Mika Nakashima...but it seems she hasn't so many fans here around

Namie Amuro.

[Damita]

Other. As much as I love all of them, they are not the best vocalists of Japan. MISIA, KOIKA, Ayaka Hirahara, Alan, etc. are all better IMO.

if it's as bad as say, leah dizon, it'll just get ignored in my itunes. It's okay.

She used to around here...but it seems all those people have gone or moved on.

[RikkuChii]

Kuu's the best, no lie. She's really good when she sings her ballads.

..I hate her ab-libbing, though.

[Ayumi27]

Hikki all the way

[CoriKaru]

Utada FreaKaru

[jbrat2219]

I pick other, Ito Yuna for female

Gackt or Atsushi Sakurai for male <3

[aqua_crystal]

Why are only female vocalists in the poll?? But my fav. vocalist has to be Matatabi from Onmyo-za.

[ka♡ri.]

Ayu = great voice. she is able to change her singing style which is good.
Kuu = stupid and i hate her adlibs because her voice is really scratchy and hoarse.
Namie = terrible. she pretty much talks and doesn't sing.
mika = BORING.
yuna = BORING.


EDIT;; ugh. i knew this thread will be all about alan. :eye tbh, she's not a good singer. all she does is yodel/scream throughout her song and for the rest of the time her voice is just whiny. she's not an amazing vocalist. the only time i was impressed was when i first saw her debut. she's just bad. i wish people would stop calling her better than everyone else.

Hmmm.....

^maybe it doesn't bother him that he doesn't like their voices? is he a guy btw?

for me it bugs. I can't listen to like BoA or Ai otsuka because their voices annoy the hell out of me.

Alan actually can sing. Her voice is whiny though, which for me is just, what her voice sounds like. But she actually is a wonderful vocalist...though her music is most definitely overrated.

However on that list she actually is better...though I would definitely choose another artist in japan over her. I think she has a lot to learn though...she doesn't have too much experience.

And Ayu = a great vocalist is just laughable. I'm sorry. Even Ayu knows she isn't the greatest singer.

I'm surprised you think kuu's voice is scratchy and hoarse though...I always thought people would think her voice was more whiny...interesting.

[kang daesung]

^Kaori is a gurlie..

Anyway, I think Namie has a bad voice, but I like her music. It's all about her producers. Koda Kumi has a mangina-esque voice and bad music, though, so she can go diaf for all i care. I can honestly count her "good" songs on one hand.

Also, I agree with KAORI about alan... maybe if she stopped screaming @ me for 5 minutes i could judge her properly.

not true. theres very few songs wheres doing her traditional, unique, and shall be respected WAIL. maybe you never rlly listened to her good songs that she doesnt wail in..
and.. she has vocal training pretty much since she was little!

alan doesn't do that for every single song in her discography that will be a nightmare

[~Inori~]

That's what distinguishes her from the other artists. I love alan's wail, especially in Kuon no Kawa.

[Beauty4123]

ugh, this is kinda hard. but as much as i love the ones listed, i'll be in the minority and say hitomi shimatani. VERY UNDERRATED

oh, i also wanna add JYONGRI, Yuna Ito ayaka, and Younha, too.
