Male singers who are great vocalists: powerhouse performers who captivate with volume, technique, and expressiveness (1–10)
kaleido proud fiestaSaitō Kōsuke (UNISON SQUARE GARDEN)
Hailing from Scarsdale, New York, Kousuke Saito is the guitarist-vocalist of UNISON SQUARE GARDEN.
Their signature songs include “Trace of Orion (Orion wo Nazoru)” and “Sugar Song and Bitter Step.” On the official UNISON site, his vocals are described as “overflowing with transparency yet possessing a distinctive edge.” In fact, Saito underwent vocal cord polyp surgery in 2014, and it’s said that it helped improve the stability of his high notes.
His singing is cool and sleek, with a truly beautiful extension into high registers that can be challenging even for many female singers.
As a singing guitarist, his performance level is outstanding—he plays highly complex guitar phrases while singing, delivering a wall of sound you wouldn’t expect from a three-piece band.
He also collaborated with Leo Ieiri in 2025, and their vocals were absolutely overwhelming.

swallowtail butterflyOkano Akihito (Poruno Gurafiti)
He made his major debut in 1999 with “Apollo” as the vocalist of Porno Graffitti.
Renowned as one of Japan’s foremost “masters of vocal expression,” he commands a wide range of genres including J-pop, rock, and Latin.
Watching Okano on THE FIRST TAKE or in live videos makes it clear: this is what people mean by “studio-quality straight from the mic.” First off, the band is highly regarded as a live act—no rushing the tempo, never looking strained, his voice never wavers to the very end—his stability is extraordinary.
His MCs are gentle, his singing is fiery; that contrast captivates fans, and his stage presence embodies the “ideal form of a vocalist.” He can convey heartbreak, too—be sure to listen to his thick, soaring rock voice!
SignKOHSHI（FLOW）
FLOW, globally popular for anime theme songs like “GO!!!,” “COLORS,” and “DAYS,” is a central presence as a “border-crossing live band” that has performed in 19 countries overseas.
KOHSHI, the twin vocalist known for his sunglasses, balances excellently with KEIGO, who sings the main melody.
He plays a very important role by providing lower harmonies, delivering rap-like rhythms, and adding momentum in the chorus.
When I first listened to FLOW, I thought KOHSHI’s voice was so cool and manly—‘If I could sing with a voice like that, it would be awesome!’ I also went to the 2024 FLOW theme-song live event “Anison Festival,” and their voices were truly straight and unwavering, just like a studio recording! I’ve come to love FLOW’s character as people too, so if you like anime songs, I definitely recommend going to their live shows.

Kill my ex-boyfriendKiryuuin Shou (Gooruden Bonbaa)
Shō Kiryuin, known as the “Vo-karu” of Golden Bomber.
He made his solo debut in 2012 with Life is SHOW TIME, the theme song for Kamen Rider Wizard.
A comedy lover, he even has a background of forming a comedy duo with Kazuma Ikeda of Shizuru.
His singing is overwhelming! Though slightly husky, his voice cuts through the band sound without getting buried.
He’s also the central figure who writes, composes, and arranges all the band’s songs, with exceptional expressive power.
Whatever he sings, his diction is so clear you hardly need subtitles—he’s a very easy-to-listen-to “Vo-karu”!
A Lump of LoveDomoto Tsuyoshi (DOMOTO)
Formerly of KinKi Kids, he has been active from 2025 as the new unit “DOMOTO.” As a solo artist—under names like “ENDLICHERI☆ENDLICHERI” and “244 ENDLI-x”—he has continually pursued “his own sound,” shifting his musical style with each moniker.
Tsuyoshi’s singing voice isn’t just an idol voice; it carries sensuality, melancholy, gentleness, and a range of vocal colors.
Despite having experienced sudden hearing loss, his live vocal stability is outstanding.
His vibrato also sounds natural.
In THE FIRST TAKE videos, comments have been buzzing about how he hardly changes his posture and sings straight through to the end.
He’s brimming with effort and talent—truly top-notch in the idol world!
Goodbye ElegyIshizaki Hyuui
Singer-songwriter Huwie Ishizaki.
He’s well known for writing songs for Masaki Suda.
He’s not the type who relies on explosive vocal power, yet he captivates with vocal nuance, breath control, and the way he places words.
That’s why he has an unusually strong persuasiveness in ballads and mid-tempo numbers.
Have you watched Huwie Ishizaki on THE FIRST TAKE? I got goosebumps.
What amazed me was the trembling delicacy, the rasp that borders on a shout—it felt so soulful and hit me right in the heart.
He sings while playing guitar, yet neither his voice nor his guitar wavers at all.
I think he’s the kind of artist who changes the air the moment he steps on stage!
Naughty SunYAMATO（ORANGE RANGE）
ORANGE RANGE is a five-member rock band from Okinawa with the unusual setup of three vocalists, and YAMATO is one of them.
In terms of vocal parts, he handles the high register and often sings the main melody, while also covering both upper and lower harmonies—a very busy role.
Thanks to many years of touring, his live performance stands out for not rushing, not wavering, and never wearing out.
I’m the same way, but if you like harmonizing, you’ll probably want to sing YAMATO’s parts.
If you watch the THE FIRST TAKE videos with the backing track muted, you can really feel how much he does and how stable his voice is.
No matter what he sings, his pitch never wavers and he nails it, which makes him truly pleasant to listen to.
He’s mastered a wide range of genres, so definitely check out their music from their debut onward!
