Male singers with great vocal skills: powerful, technically proficient, and emotionally expressive performers (ages 31–40)

ENDLESS RAINTOSHI(X Japan)

ENDLESS RAINTOSHI(X Japan)

The original visual-kei vocalist, X Japan’s frontman.

X has many songs with extremely high notes, yet even in live performances he sings without straining his voice—I felt that was truly professional.

He also has considerable vocal power, making him a vocalist quintessential of a rock band.

Kenshi Yonezu, who was active as the former Vocaloid producer “Hachi.” Perhaps thanks to that background, he has the kind of vocal ability that lets him master melodies with ranges that, in a sense, ignore human singing limits—truly impressive.

In particular, his technique of transitioning from a soft middle voice to high falsetto without revealing a register shift is remarkable.

That said, judging from the direction of his sound production, it’s also clear that much of this vocal expression likely draws fully on his experience as a Vocaloid creator and makes extensive use of modern technology.

So while it’s somewhat uncertain how much raw, “unprocessed” singing power he has, using the latest technology in a positive way to maximize musical expression is arguably the most important skill for singers and artists living in this era.

He’s truly a next-generation, highly capable singer.

They’re a singer with a distinctive vocal style, yet their voice also has strength, and their vibrato and other nuances are very beautiful, so I think they sing with a wide range of expression.

It’s also intriguing that, even though they don’t use a very breathy technique, their singing still sounds incredibly gentle.

After the FestivalKuwata Keisuke (Sazan Ōrusutāzu)

Keisuke Kuwata, also known from Southern All Stars.

In live performances he jokes around and gets the crowd going, and he often takes big liberties with his phrasing, but his vocal ability is the real deal.

Pitch, of course—but above all, his sense of rhythm is fantastic! That distinctive groove no doubt feeds into his songwriting as well.

20+∞Century Boysyasu(Acid Black Cherry)

Hugely popular V-kei band Acid Black Cherry’s singer, yasu.

The charm of his singing voice lies above all in his clear, bright, and powerful mid-to-high range.

He likely centers his singing on a mixed voice with relatively little breathiness and a strong chest-voice component, but his transitions to chest voice in the low-mid range and to breathy falsetto are also smooth.

His “depth” in the chesty low-mid range is appealing as well.

Personally, I also find him easy to listen to because he has relatively few of the distinctive quirks typical of V-kei singers.

She was a singer who died young and was called a genius.

Hikaru Utada, who is often praised for her singing ability, once cited her as one of her favorite artists.

I think she is one of the top singers in Japan not so much in terms of technique, but in terms of expressiveness.

Kaiju no Hanabuta (Monster’s Flower Song)Vaundy

Singer-songwriter Vaundy, born in 2000, creates a wide range of music with a genre-blending style, from pop to country-inspired tracks.

Since beginning his music career in 2019, he has gained attention through songs posted on YouTube and has also produced theme songs for TV dramas.

In 2022, he won Artist of the Year at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan.

His talent has been highly acclaimed, including taking the top spot on the 2023 Oricon annual karaoke ranking.

Vaundy’s appeal lies in his versatility—writing lyrics, composing, and arranging himself—and in lyrics that express personal experiences and emotions.

Music born from his unique perspective and sensibility resonates with many listeners.
