Am working on things with the NEWS pacific Concert DVD running on loop.


I have a quick question for everyone on my flist who are JE fans.

Who do you think is the best singer in JE and why?

I'm curious and nihongofrancais and I had a brief discussion about this yesterday so I want to see what others think.

Hmm. Hard to answer. Best sound? Best technique? Different things.

I like Tego's voice a lot, but especially in lives, he gets overenthusiastic and tends to be off. A lot like hyde, actually, although fortunately not that bad.

I actually think Yamapi is a really good singer. His voice isn't the greatest, but he's almost ALWAYS on key and hitting the right notes. I've seen him live a lot of times now, and he does better than Tego by far.

I don't know all of Johnnys, so it's hard to compare. I'd leave out a lot of people I think.

I also think there are some very talented chibis. Like Hashimoto Ryosuke. When he's Jin's age (aka give him another ten years), I have a feeling he'll be unbelievable. The rest of his group is surprisingly talented, as well. I'm looking forward to good things from them. Although I hope that they actually DO take voice lessons, because anyone can benefit from professional training.

And Ryosuke must be a lucky name, because (and don't kill me for this), I think Yamada's also really damn good.

And an additional comment from Mousi about Top 3: "better than kat-tun is with their own songs, for sure"

Of course, it's hard to compare, because the older ones have another five or ten years experience, which makes a big difference.
