ikura（YOASOBI）
YOASOBI is an artist who has been producing hit songs since 2020 through a unique approach to music creation.
Ikura is the vocalist who masterfully sings YOASOBI’s wide-ranging repertoire.
Her clear, unornamented voice has a distinctive transparency that makes it truly one-of-a-kind, and it’s a defining feature of her singing.
Because of that, it can be hard to capture for impressions or impersonations, and it requires solid vocal technique—so the difficulty level might be high.
All the more reason to take on the challenge and make people say, “You sound just like her!”
Aimyon
Aimyon climbed to the top as an artist with highly relatable lyrics, a pop sound, and a down-to-earth, likable persona.
With many tie-in songs for TV dramas and anime—such as Haru no Hi, Naked Heart, and Flower of Love—she enjoys strong recognition across a wide range of age groups.
She’s a great choice as a subject for impressions or performances at various events.
Try taking on her approachable, unadorned vocal tone and her singing style that cherishes the lyrics.
Koji Tamaki
Koji Tamaki debuted as part of the rock band Anzenchitai and has continued to produce numerous hit songs even after going solo.
His husky, sexy voice and powerful projection that reaches the back of the venue without a microphone are one of a kind, and even fellow artists praise his vocal ability.
Of course, his pitch and rhythm are precise, making him very hard to imitate, but if you can capture his style, it’s proof of your own vocal skill.
He’s especially popular among people in their 40s and up, so give it a try!
Kenshi Yonezu
Kenshi Yonezu skyrocketed to the ranks of top artists with the massive hit “Lemon.” He’s an unconventional artist who also works as the Vocaloid producer “Hachi.” His unique lyrical worldview and the soundscapes he crafts are captivating, drawing in many listeners.
