My beloved, be prepared to die.Shinkai (Onmyo-za)
The leader of Onmyo-za, a band known as a “yokai heavy metal” act.
He’s the command center, handling bass, vocals, and writing and composing nearly all of their songs.
While Onmyo-za often performs anime songs, hearing Matatabi’s voice will surely bring the phrase “anison rock” to mind! His voice is fantastic; his greatest weapon is a powerful, deep low register that contrasts with main vocalist Kuroneko’s high tones.
Despite its depth, his voice is very easy to understand.
Matatabi is also famous for never stopping once he starts talking on stage.
With passionate MCs, a compelling delivery, and staging that makes full use of his height, he draws the audience in and builds the band’s world.
Return To MyselfHamada Mari
A singer-songwriter who made her major-label debut with the catchphrase “Mari-chan is heavy metal,” she rose to prominence in the 1980s as a leading female rock vocalist.
True to the tagline, her powerful singing and piercing high notes captivated fans, and she achieved exceptional sales in the then not widely accepted hard rock genre.
Her overwhelming vocal prowess remains undiminished today—she truly deserves to be called a “powerhouse voice.” In 2019, she successfully performed at Nippon Budokan for the first time in 25 years, proving she’s still an active artist who sends fans into a frenzy.
Maximum the Hormone II ~Let’s Talk About Firm, Rich Noodles from Here On~Ryo-kun (Maximum the Hormone)
He’s the vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter of Maximum the Hormone—the core of the band who goes by the title “Vocals, 6-strings, and Younger Brother.” Ryo-kun’s standout strengths are his overwhelming vocal power and razor-sharp shouts.
Even within the loud rock scene, his sound pressure is top-tier.
His weapon is a “controlled shout” that isn’t just screaming: it has pitch, precise rhythm, and never collapses into strain.
He also switches between a variety of vocal techniques, brilliantly balancing metal-style delivery with pop melodies.
The vibe of his voice changes so much you’ll find yourself wondering, “Is this really the same person singing?” Definitely check him out!
I’m only gazing at you.Daikoku Maki
Maki Ohguro is a singer with a passionately powerful voice who is strongly associated with being the “Queen of Summer Songs.” Born on December 31, 1969, she hails from Hokkaido.
She debuted in 1992 and has since released numerous classic hits such as “Anata Dake Mitsumeteru” and “La La La.” With lyrics that are encouraging and sometimes stern, she delivers them to listeners with a piercingly sharp vocal style.
She is also an appealing singer for her powerful high notes that retain their volume even in the upper range.
Our TomorrowElefanto Kashimashi
Hiroji Miyamoto is striking for the way he tousles his hair, raises his fist, and sings with passionate intensity.
No matter what song he performs, he exudes a one-of-a-kind presence.
Along with his overwhelming vocal power, his range is wide; it makes perfect sense that he belonged to the NHK Tokyo Children’s Choir in elementary school and was active as a children’s song singer.
He’s a vocalist whose speaking and singing voices don’t differ much, and that straightforward, speech-like tone seems to reflect his way of life itself.
Perhaps that’s why it moves listeners’ hearts and sounds so captivating.
kamikazeNoGoD
NoGoD is a visual-kei heavy metal band formed in 2005.
Centered around vocalist Dancho, their sound is rooted in HR/HM while incorporating a wide range of genres.
They made their major-label debut in 2010 and have captivated many fans with their unique worldview.
Powered by Dancho’s anger, his overwhelming vocal power and expressive range command a strong presence in live performances as well.
Blending highly message-driven Japanese lyrics with diverse musicality, NoGoD’s songs are perfect for listeners seeking a powerful impact.
You are the bottom of the sea.Momonō Mikoto
