kissTajima Takao (ORIGINAL LOVE)
Once you hear the singing voice of ORIGINAL LOVE’s vocalist, Takao Tajima, you’ll feel a striking individuality that grabs your heart and never lets go.
Many fans are captivated by his masculine, wild yet sweet voice.
The occasional ad-lib he slips in is also truly wonderful.
Cactus FlowerZaitsū Kazuo (Chūrippu)
I can only think of Kazuo Zaitsu, the vocalist of Tulip, as someone who can sing each and every word so gently and unhurriedly.
That’s why, when I hear the crisp, dignified way he sings the chorus, it startles me and draws me in even more.
He’s a singer unlike almost any other.
Love MemoryMatsuzaki Shigeru
This was Shigeru Matsuzaki’s 14th single in total, released on August 10, 1977.
Unlike today, when technologies like pitch correction help make vocals sound better, many singers active in the 1970s and 1980s had exceptionally strong vocal abilities.
Among them, Shigeru Matsuzaki in particular is a singer who delivers wonderful performances, from the sheer power of his voice when he sings at full throttle to the nuanced expressiveness when he sings softly.
It’s also remarkable that even after his peak years in the 1970s, his vocal skill and power have shown no signs of decline.
Speaking as a vocal coach and from what I hear with my own ears, I think Matsuzaki’s vocal production is truly outstanding.
MonicaYoshikawa Koji
Kōji Kikkawa’s debut single, released on February 1, 1984.
As expected of a singer active since the ’80s, his vocal ability is truly outstanding.
Kikkawa also has quite an idiosyncratic singing style, but I feel his fundamentals and vocal projection are undeniably solid.
The song I’m introducing here, “Monica,” drew a lot of attention at the time of its release and achieved strong sales, but personally, I think his vocal style went on to significantly influence later visual-kei vocalists.
It might be interesting to listen with that J-POP/J-ROCK timeline in mind.
Islanders’ TreasureHiga Eisho (BEGIN)
BEGIN’s vocalist Ei-Show Higa, who hails from Ishigaki City in Okinawa Prefecture, has a distinctive intonation in his vocal phrasing.
His voice gently envelops the listener, and when he sings lyrics and melodies like those in this song, there may be no one who can surpass him.
FLOWERGACKT
Rather than just vocal technique, I get the impression that his sensibilities come from his knowledge as a musician.
As someone like Gackt, who can play a variety of instruments starting with the piano, he has a distinctive way of singing, and he carefully imagines the background of the lyrics and thinks about how he should sing before he does.
Everyday lifeFujiwara Satoshi (Ofisharu Higedan Dizm)
This is the sixth single by the Japanese pop-rock band Official HIGE DANDism, released in September 2023 as a double A-side single together with “Chessboard.” It’s a mid-tempo pop number with a slightly wistful melody that leaves a strong impression.
The vocalist, Fukase, is renowned for his soaring high-range singing, and his performance shines here as well.
He effortlessly delivers a melodically intricate line that moves up and down with considerable complexity, without making listeners feel the difficulty.
For aspiring singers, this track is also an excellent reference for studying how to vary vocal production through expressive techniques.
