Leon Niihama is an enka singer from Shiroi City, Chiba Prefecture, whose striking looks are reminiscent of a K-pop idol.

He is the son of enka singer Yasuo Takashiro, known for the Hakata no Shio commercial jingle, and in his childhood he was devoted not to enka but to baseball.

Later, at his father’s recommendation, he set his sights on becoming an enka singer, trained from the ground up, and debuted in 2019.

His greatest charm is, above all, his mood-rich singing voice.

Although he has a pure, clean-cut image, his vocals exude a remarkably mature sensuality.

SEKAI NO OWARI

This is SEKAI NO OWARI’s 13th major-label single, released in June 2020.

Throughout the song, the vocal melody is centered in the low to mid range, and along with its gentle arrangement, it creates a very moody atmosphere.

The vocals carry a somewhat androgynous impression—not the kind of voice typically associated with the phrase “deep voice”—but the calm, mellow quality that runs through the entire track resonates very pleasantly, making it highly appealing.

The contrast between the androgynous timbre and the low-centered melody seems to craft a unique sonic world.

It might be a song that works equally well whether sung by a man or a woman, such as at karaoke.

Tatsuya Ishii, the singer of the veteran and popular group Kome Kome Club.

The charm of his singing voice likely lies in his deep, richly resonant low–mid range.

In fact, this “well-resonant low–mid range” is one of the most difficult registers to sing.

High notes, in a sense, can be extended to some degree by training the muscles that control the vocal cords, so expanding that range isn’t all that hard.

But with low notes, you can’t produce pitches below the physical limit set by the natural length of your vocal cords, and you only get low tones by relaxing them as much as possible.

Producing a voice that is both deep and vibrant in that state is extremely difficult.

For those looking to strengthen their low–mid range, he’s a singer well worth studying, so by all means, take a close look.
