Male singers who are great at singing: powerful, technically skilled, and expressive vocalists (101–110)
Kanda RiverMinami Kōsetsu
Kousetsu Minami is a folk singer born in 1949.
He rose to prominence as the leader of the folk group Kaguyahime and made his solo debut in 1970.
He produced hit songs such as “Kandagawa” and “Yume Ichiya,” and in 1976 he successfully headlined a solo concert at the Nippon Budokan.
His greatest appeal lies in his soothing voice—the crystal-clear vocals, said to verge on the ultrasonic range, have brought comfort to many.
Minami also has a deep connection with nature, as if conversing with plants and his home garden.
He’s highly recommended for those who want to experience his gentle singing voice and warm personality.
The Zero SenseTAKUMA（10-FEET）
TAKUMA, the vocalist of 10-FEET, struck me as having exceptionally high-level vocal technique and expressive ability.
His voice is powerful and passionate, yet also capable of conveying delicacy and emotion.
What’s particularly noteworthy is that, even while delivering such emotionally rich performances, his vocal production never becomes sloppy in any part of a song.
He’s a singer who can compellingly communicate a song’s world not only in hard rock numbers but also in slow, melodic ballads, thanks to his outstanding vocal skill and expressiveness.
Rhapsody of TemptationRYUICHI (girudo)
This is the 11th single by Guild, a visual kei band under the same agency as the famous visual air band Golden Bomber, released on January 1, 2014.
Visual kei bands sometimes get their musical and vocal abilities downplayed, but that’s definitely not the case with Guild’s RYUICHI! He’s a singer with very strong vocal technique and expressive power.
In fact, I personally know RYUICHI—several years ago I gave him some vocal training lessons, we recorded various songs for fun, and I even directed and produced his vocals during that time.
Even back then, he showed remarkable aptitude and the ability to absorb things quickly.
Because of that, he was someone I really enjoyed teaching and collaborating with.
Setting aside any personal bias, he truly is a wonderful singer, so if you’re a band vocalist, I highly recommend using his singing as a reference!
Scarlet LipsYamauchi Keisuke
Keisuke Yamauchi is a young enka singer who debuted in 2001.
It’s been nearly 20 years since his debut, but in the enka world he can still rightly be called a young artist.
As for his vocal ability—well, as expected of an enka singer—it’s remarkably solid and stable.
Influenced by his mother, a huge fan of Hibari Misora, he says he listened to her “almost like prenatal education,” and you can sense Hibari’s influence in many of his fine ornamental phrasing choices.
That said, it’s not as if he sings only in a thoroughly old-school enka style.
He also incorporates elements like slightly nasal high tones that even feel a bit Hiromi Go–like, sprinkling the delicious flavors of Showa-era kayokyoku and Showa pop throughout his songs and delivering them with an easy, expansive voice.
I feel there’s a lot in his singing that singers from other genres could learn from as well.
I want to be kinder.Saitō Kazuyoshi
Kazuyoshi Saito is one of Japan’s leading singer-songwriters.
Since his debut in 1993, he has continued to captivate many fans with his distinctive voice and accessible melodies.
He debuted with the catchphrase “A four-and-a-half tatami room is too small,” and has produced hit songs such as “Aruite Kaerou” and “Yasashiku Naritai.” In 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, he released the ambitious home-recorded album 55 STONES.
His free-spirited musicality unconstrained by genre, along with his versatile talent spanning from solo acoustic performances to full-band styles, is a draw that every music lover should experience at least once.

March 9Fujimaki Ryōta (Remioromen)
Ryota Fujimaki, the vocalist and guitarist of Remioromen, a three-piece rock band from Yamanashi Prefecture.
Since their major debut in 2003, they have captivated many fans with melodies that resonate in the heart and delicate lyrics.
Many of their songs have been used as theme songs for TV dramas and films, earning support from a wide audience.
Fujimaki’s singing voice is simple yet deeply moving, and together with lyrics that carefully depict everyday scenes and emotions, it conveys a warmth that feels close to the listener.
His experience in a high school brass band may also have influenced his rich musicality.
Highly recommended for those seeking memorable vocals and songs.
Maximum reachFukase（SEKAI NO OWARI）
This is SEKAI NO OWARI’s sixth digital-only single, released in September 2023.
It was reportedly written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime ONE PIECE.
Fukase, who serves as the vocalist for SEKAI NO OWARI, has a charming, slightly boyish singing voice, doesn’t he? His singing is very unadorned, and he’s not the type of singer who tries to spotlight technical prowess, but I think his voice is noteworthy for how clearly it resonates across every register used in the vocal melody.
