SEIYUU LOUNGE

How many times have you seen your favorite 2D music projects stopping activities, going on hiatuses or announcing their end?

I can safely say that I've seen that too many times with some of my favorite 2D music projects.

But why don't 2D music projects last longer?

An underrated gem, MEDICODE's self-titled debut CD "MEDICODE" continues to be one of the best showcases of what versatility as a singer or even what being a vocal chameleon means for male seiyuu.

With a young, still unknown, Soma Saito on vocals, the visual-kei band, part of the FlyME Project, was doing unique things in the music industry. From the faux baritone technique to the first time a seiyuu did screamo in a 2D music project and even Saito sounding nothing like himself, this CD is filled with highlights.

In this episode, you and I revisit it and I talk extensively about my passion for it and visual-kei rock music.

If you ever wondered why a seiyuu sings so well for a 2D group but struggles to deliver equally awesome performances as a solo artist, this is the episode for you.

Time to talk about the difficult transition from 2D singing to a solo career.

If you could experience an album you love for the very first time again, would you do it?

Are there times in which you just want to talk about what an album makes you feel or all the stories you've uncovered in there?

In this episode let's cover what is considered as one of the all-time best albums by male seiyuu: Toshiyuki Toyonaga's MUSIC OF THE ENTERTAINMENT.

Up until 2019, there was a unique unspoken rule that dictated who were the male seiyuu that could have an opportunity to make a solo debut.

For years, only seiyuu with at least 7 years of career as a voice actor could get that golden chance that now can be obtained almost right after making a debut in the voice acting industry.

So why was that happening? Did it make any sense? Who were the seiyuu making debuts following such rule? These and more questions will be answered in this episode.

Do you know that moment when you are listening to a song and an acapella part catches you by surprise? That is a feeling I love a whole lot and over the years, I’ve had my fair share of encounters with such performances, be it on record or in live performances.

With acapella music slowly gaining popularity among fans of 2D music and seiyuu, I feel it is time to share with you some of those moments or performances that made my jaw drop in awe.

If you thought you and I were over talking about acapella music and especially male seiyuu that can become acapella singers, you will be surprised that there’s more to talk about.

As I went through my favorite songs, groups and 2D music projects… I couldn’t stop regretting not having mentioned more male seiyuu that are truly amazing and have everything to impress as acapella singers.

So, you and I are back for an encore, covering 6 male seiyuu that could also shine a lot if they got a chance to perform acapella music.

In the previous episode about seiyuu and acapella music, you and I talked about Shouta Aoi, Shunichi Toki, Yoshiki Nakajima, Daiki Yamashita, and Soma Saito.

They are all obvious choices within the tenor and faux baritone vocal range that have more than enough talent to truly shine as acapella singers.

In this one, let’s add 5 more names that I believe would make your jaw drop in awe if they got the chance to perform acapella music.

Time for a feature in which you and I revisit the music that was released in the 1st quarter of 2023. This is an unscripted episode that feels more like a regular conversation - more so than usual - in which I cover the 4 CDs that impressed me, why I do not take into account 2D music projects that are always active, why those 2D music projects should make strategic pauses to regroup and be more welcoming to new fans, as well as the particular things about December and why artists usually didn't release music in the last two weeks of it.

To wrap up, expect a conversation about why the 1st quarter of 2023 was perfect for male seiyuu artists with a smaller fanbase to make an impact and why they should avoid releasing music at the same time as Mamoru Miyano, Toshiki Masuda, Soma Saito, and Yuma Uchida.

All of this is neatly wrapped up in a 24-minute episode!

After talking about what is acapella music, how technical it is, and why seiyuu performing this music genre are among the most technical out there, it’s time for me to talk about the male seiyuu who I wish were performing acapella music more frequently regardless if it is solo or as part of a 2D group.

This is an episode based loosely on several comments here on the YouTube channel as well as on the website about seiyuu’s singing skills. Most of you recognize talent when you hear it and you frequently mention who you’d love to either make a solo debut, join 2D music projects, or most recently, perform acapella music.

Also big thank you to the viewer “Unwelcome” for inspiring this episode as a whole.
