SEIYUU LOUNGE

In 2017, Nobuhiko Okamoto and Trignal teamed up for one of the most surprising and iconic collaborations you can find among male seiyuu artists.

In this episode, let's cover this collaboration and the mini-album "Trust and play".

One of the most exciting collaborations in this decade is that of Daiki Yamashita and Tasuku Hatanaka. They performed together in 2025 and released the joint mini-album "Share" and impressed everyone.

In this episode, let's talk about this collaboration and why I and many of you love it!

Collaborations between male seiyuu artists and seiyuu units are still few and far between, but the ones we've gotten so far have been amazing.In this episode and the coming ones, let's explore some of the most exciting collaborations in the last 10 years.

Are we going to cover Soma Saito's 4th EP, Nuance? Yup! In this episode, let me dive once again into one of the albums I was most excited about in 2025, and share my impressions soon after the CD was released. This is a snippet from the upcoming Monthly Review episode coming this month.This is an unscripted episode of the podcast.

After years of hiatus, the 2D visual-kei rock project Executioner made its return in 2025. And while this could have been good news the problem is... the project changed 70% of the cast, including 2 out of the 3 main vocals for the 3 bands in the project, all in the name of "improving the project's quality" and "delivering the best experience".

In this episode, let's dive into what Executioner is, the odd hiatus the project immediately went on, not even 3 months after its launch, its return, changes in the cast and my take from a business perspective as to why things have changed.

This is an unscripted episode.

It's time to revisit my expectations for 2025 and see if any of them came true, as well as share my expectations for 2026 - from live shows I want to see, albums to be released, surprises, new 2D projects, and more.

This is an unscripted episode of the podcast.

Time to talk about the male seiyuu artists who have impressed me the most in 2025 - either because they've leveled up as singers, were part of a wide variety of projects showcasing their versatility, released amazing CDs and everything in between.

This is an episode to celebrate the 7 male seiyuu who impressed me in 2025 (and geek yet again about some of them :)

2025 was a slower year, but it didn't stop it from delivering absolute bangers, especially when it came to loungy, relaxing, city pop-meets-disco type of music.

Well, for this episode, I bring you 7 songs that I know for sure were underrated - either because they're b-sides, not the title tracks in their respective albums, or the artists are either too niche or underrated. This is a personal list and in no way exhausts all the songs I feel deserved much more love in 2025.

THTFHQ AWARDS 2025 counted with your votes on the website during December and oh boy, the results this year caught me by surprise!
