[Great Singers] Male vocalists who captivate with vocal power, technique, and expressiveness (81–90)
I love youShimizu Iyori (back number)
Shimizu Iyori, the vocalist and guitarist of back number, is hugely popular among younger generations.
He’s known for his unique sensibilities—such as naming the band after an experience of having his girlfriend taken by a bandman—and his lyrics, which vividly paint scenes that many listeners deeply relate to.
His masterful use of falsetto enhances the sentimental melodies and amplifies the poignancy of his message.
He is an artist leading today’s J-POP scene, with even greater success expected in the future.
Lien ~The Chosen Bond~Aoki Ryuji
They became famous for impersonations, but they also sing original songs.
Because they’ve steadily honed various techniques and vocal styles through their impression work, they likely have far more options for how and where to use different singing approaches than most other vocalists.
Love’s Long WaitYoshikuni Dōchin (CHEMISTRY)
Yoshikuni Dōchin, who debuted as part of the male twin-vocal unit CHEMISTRY alongside his partner Kaname Kawabata.
From a high-range head voice that shows no strain at all, to a low-range chest voice that resonates with great stability, and even a mixed voice that connects the two with exceptional smoothness, he masterfully conveys the world of each song through his exquisite use of different vocal techniques.
Among my voice training students, many admire a singing voice like his—especially his use of mixed voice.
He’s definitely a singer I’d love aspiring vocalists to set as one of their goals!
DESIRERYUICHI（LUNA SEA）
This is the sixth single by the Japanese so-called visual kei band LUNA SEA, released on November 13, 1995.
When people talk about visual kei bands, attention often goes more to their looks than to the music itself, the performance, or the singing.
But RYUICHI, the vocalist of LUNA SEA, is, in my opinion, a singer whose voice is both profoundly rich and powerfully compelling.
In DESIRE, the song I’m introducing here, he delivers a wonderful performance, skillfully shaping his voice over a very aggressive track and backing, showcasing his versatility.
Embracing SummerMaeda Nobuteru (TUBE)
This is TUBE’s 18th single, released in May 1994.
It was used in a commercial for the Toyota Corolla Ceres and became a major hit, selling a total of 940,000 copies according to Oricon.
Speaking of TUBE’s vocalist, Nobutaka Maeda, he’s highly praised for his incredible vocal power and his very powerful, soaring high notes—and you can fully enjoy that voice in this song as well.
He’s not just powerful; he also masterfully uses a whispery tone, adding dynamic contrast to his performance.
He’s truly a singer worthy of respect!
the curbShibuya Sakataro
Shibuya Gyakutarō’s second digital single, released on February 28, 2020.
By the way, “Shibuya Gyakutarō” is the artist name Ryota Shibuya from SUPER BEAVER uses for his solo work.
When the track started and the vocals came in, I was instantly drawn in by that voice.
I think Shibuya Gyakutarō has a singing voice rich in very pleasant high-order overtones, and his vocal expression and technique that maximize that quality are simply outstanding.
Musically, it’s a mid-tempo track with a slightly swung rhythm—something that often doesn’t suit Japanese lyrics—but he pulls it off beautifully here!

Radio MagicNishida Masafumi (EARTHSHAKER)
This is the second single by EARTHSHAKER, a Japanese HM/HR band from Osaka, released on September 21, 1984.
On album, it appears on their third record, Midnight Flight.
At a time when HM/HR often spotlighted the guitar over vocals, EARTHSHAKER drew attention for their strong emphasis on vocal melody, singing, and expressive delivery in both their songwriting and performance style.
Given the band’s direction, it’s only natural that vocalist Masafumi “Marcy” Nishida’s singing here is exceptional—he’s a singer who is highly regarded even beyond the HM/HR realm.
