You are the bottom of the sea.Momonō Mikoto
Mikoto Momono, known as a singer-songwriter from Hiroshima City, made her debut with Victor Entertainment in July 1997 and has since pursued a wide range of activities, including street performances and hosting radio programs.
Since 2003, she has also worked under her real name, Keiko Hiraoka, showcasing her versatility not only through solo work but also via the music unit Torimatorishika, songwriting for others, and composing music for commercials.
Her powerful voice and expressive singing resonate deeply with listeners.
In 2017, she held a 20th-anniversary solo concert, marking another milestone in her accomplished career.
LA LA LA Love SongKubota Toshinobu
Toshinobu Kubota can be said to have firmly established R&B in Japan.
Born in 1962, he reportedly listened to Black music such as R&B and soul from a young age.
His soulful voice and groovy sense of rhythm—unusual for a Japanese artist—are no doubt influenced by the sounds he grew up with.
Among his works, “LA•LA•LA LOVE SONG,” a massive hit in 1996 as the theme song for the drama Long Vacation, is one of his signature tracks, and his soaring high notes are still breathtaking to this day.
EL DORADOSeikima II
Demon Kakka, the vocalist of Seikima-II, is the key figure who brought authentic heavy metal into Japanese living rooms.
While they proclaim themselves a cult spreading devil worship through music, his background—spending part of his childhood in New York and graduating from Waseda University—reveals an appealing air of high intelligence.
As a singer, he is said to have a 3.5-octave range, boasting a clear, ringing falsetto and exceptional vocal prowess.
Although his striking visual presence tends to steal the spotlight, be sure to lend an ear to that beautiful singing voice.
ETERNAL BLAZEMizuki Nana
A singer who has had such vocal prowess since childhood that she was known as a “contest wrecker” at local singing competitions, she now thrives not only in music but also in voice-centric fields such as voice acting, narration, and stage acting.
Because she has played key roles in various anime titles, many people strongly associate her with voice acting, but did you know she originally set out to become a singer? Her overwhelming vocal power—unimaginable from her cute looks—electrifies audiences at live shows.
A bona fide vocalist who can handle everything from anime songs to enka, she’s an artist you should definitely check out if you haven’t given her a proper listen.
EverythingMISIA
A female singer with a five-octave vocal range, she is a leading artist in Asia, including Japan.
Her performance of the national anthem “Kimigayo” at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2021 Olympics received widespread acclaim, and many will remember how her overwhelming voice resonated around the world.
Despite her universally recognized powerful projection, MISIA herself has revealed that her lung capacity is the same as or even less than that of the average woman, a surprising fact that drew attention.
She is a global artist who is also actively engaged in social contribution and charitable activities.
MephistoAvu-chan (Jouou Bachi)
Up until now, Queen Bee had hardly appeared in the media, but after their 2023 smash hit Mephisto, the ending theme for Oshi no Ko, they’ve been showing up on TV much more often.
Avu-chan, whose gender, age, real name, and many other details remain private, has a mysterious presence that’s part of the appeal.
With crystalline high notes, ground-crawling lows, a lustrous midrange, and an overwhelming vocal range, Avu-chan is an exceptional singer.
Even on Queen Bee’s official channels, they’re introduced as a distinctive vocalist who skillfully switches between high and low registers.
Their worldbuilding is incredible, and they’re a genius who self-produces everything from the music to the visuals.
When you see Queen Bee, you’ll find yourself pulled right in!
We are!kitadani hiroshi
Hiroshi Kitadani, commonly known as “Dani.” He made his major debut in 1994 with the rock unit Stagger, and in 1999 he broke into national fame as an anisong singer with “We Are!” the first opening theme for ONE PIECE.
He has also performed on stages around the world as a second-generation member of JAM Project, a group of powerhouse anisong vocalists, continually delivering overwhelming live performances.
Dani’s defining traits are his tremendous vocal power and rock energy! Especially in live settings, his stage presence, crowd work, and vocal stamina are truly top-tier among professionals, so it’s absolutely better to hear him live than on CD! I became a fan of Dani after seeing a JAM Project concert, so please check out some live videos!
