SEIYUU LOUNGE

One of the most iconic CDs ever released by a 2D music group, TRIGGER's "REGALITY" arrived with a solid, heartwrenching, and relatable story that ended up propelling itself to #1 on Oricon's Weekly Albums chart.

With Soma Saito, Wataru Hatano and Takuya Sato leading the way in a set of outstanding performances, the CD marked the very first time a 2D group ever got #1 on Oricon's Weekly Albums chart, the most competitive chart in Japan.

This would also be the album to put TRIGGER on its throne as the best 2D music group.

Easily regarded as one of the best albums to be released in the past 20 years by a male seiyuu artist, Soma Saito's "in bloom" is no stranger to accolades, positive reviews, and a whole lot of respect by fans, casual listeners and even the Japanese press.

In many ways, "in bloom", Saito's 2nd full-length album released in 2020, is dark, intense and deeply emotional. It feels like going on a journey and what a journey that is!

In this unscripted episode, I talk about this behemoth of an album and get into detail about some of the underlying feelings in it.

In 2020, Makoto Furukawa released his 1st full-length album and fans were not expecting just how amazing this two-act, cinematic album would be.

With most of the lyrics written by Furukawa and an interesting yet thought-provoking world created for you, the sound of classic, bebop, and swing jazz echoes, as Makoto Furukawa takes the stage to charismatically lead the way as its storyteller.

It is time to talk about what is one of the best CDs ever released by a male seiyuu artist: Makoto Furukawa's "from fairytale".

Big dreams and ambitious concepts can make a 2D music project popular but quite frequently, the money invested in each project ends up determining which projects stay up and remain active and which disappear from the public eye.

But there is much more to it.

In this episode let's talk about fans' love for seiyuu and the boundaries that should be respected.

From stalking to spreading rumors, asking seiyuu to apologize for being happy, wishing them to divorce their significant others, and shifting from supporting to actively "hating" seiyuu, there have been plenty of situations in which a simple piece of news ends up becoming hell for seiyuu when it shouldn't.

Now considered a "classic" CD, "BREAK" was the start of an amazing journey filled with accolades and superstar status for Mamoru Miyano.

Overflowing with R&B tunes with an easy listening and groovy sound and already high-quality performances on the vocal end, this was the album that introduced me to male seiyuu music and, ultimately, without it, you wouldn't be listening to this podcast episode today.

In what is another entry of the corner "Let's talk about this CD", you and I talk about Mamoru Miyano's "BREAK".

2023 may not have started as well as I expected but hey, it seems the 2nd quarter of the year brought some interesting CDs to the table.

Citypop, funk, and disco have had a big presence and as such, most of the music released in the 2nd quarter is incredibly groovy and danceable, in a way creating the perfect bridge to the summer season we are now in.
