              • EP.128 - 12 Male Seiyuu that Impressed in 2022

                2022 is already well behind us. But who were the male seiyuu that stood out the most last year?

                Who were the seiyuu that made sure to impress with outstanding performances in various 2D groups, some even in their solo artist activities?

                It’s time to check the 12 seiyuu that impressed in 2022.


                To create this episode, I have into consideration several things about the seiyuu in question:

                • How active they were in 2022
                • How much the seiyuu improved as singers
                • Their technique and voice tone
                • Variety, and the versatility of their music
                • Quality of the music released
                • Performances outside of their solo careers
                • Check my picks in:

                  • EP.127 - 7 Albums that Went Under the Radar in 2022

                    After talking about the best songs and albums by male seiyuu and 2D music projects released last year, it’s time to cover the albums that I feel were completely overlooked yet, they are awesome and deserve all your love and attention.

                    From insanely technical performances to laidback ones, from pitch-black songs to aggressive rock anthems, emotional ballads, and passionate tunes. There was a little bit of everything, catering to fans of the widest variety of music genres, voices, singing styles, and overall group vibes.

                    These are just some, of the various CDs I loved in 2022 that, unfortunately, due to how the projects they are from are not that popular, never got to be in the spotlight as they deserved. Please do check them out if you can:

                      From complex concepts spawning several songs, to simple concepts that create cozy, intimate experiences that feel like getting a warm hug after work to perfect nods to 80s and 90s music, not to mention the hours of outstanding performances, there was no shortage of quality coming from seiyuu artists and 2D groups.

                      And it’s the time to celebrate the best albums by 2D groups and seiyuu artists released in 2022 and decide which is the album of the year.

                        2022 was filled with astounding performances by both male seiyuu artists and 2D groups. The production quality has risen a whole lot to the point that almost all songs you come across will sound near perfect.

                        Seiyuu are taking singing incredibly seriously, some of them being insanely innovative doing things no other seiyuu artist has done.

                        Some 2D groups have a defined, robust identity that they are proud of and we, as fans, are seeing them grow before our eyes (and ears).

                        In this episode, let's celebrate the best songs released by 2D groups and male seiyuu artists in 2022.

                            From projects with an all-star cast to those betting heavily on new, up-and-coming talents, in this episode you’ll get to know a bit about some of the most buzzworthy 2D music projects launched in 2022.

                            But there were also promising projects that despite having had strong debuts, managed to disappear from the public eye as fast as they appeared or, in case of projects launched a couple of years ago, ended up slowly fading away or going on hiatus.

                            In this episode, let’s cover both the highs and lows in 2D music projects in 2022, with a big focus on the newly launched projects.
