In January 2024, Shoya Chiba made his solo debut with the 1st EP "Blessing" and what followed was one of the most impressive solo debuts in the past 10 years.

Chiba set a new standard for male seiyuu solo debuts by releasing a 1st EP that sounds like a sophomore or even a 3rd or 4th album.

At the same time, his charisma and confidence show throughout the most complex of performances, making him sound like a veteran artist from the start.

This and more reflections in this non-scripted episode of SEIYUU LOUNGE.

Loulou*di didn't shy from showcasing their versatility, quality, and insanely talented lineup in "Univers".

This debut album arrived smoothly and left a trail of destruction in its wake.

It is intelligent, intense, addictive, all in the right measures.

The group has the perfect sound and vocals marriage, with Takeshi Hama exclusively in charge of the group's music + the outstanding lineup of Toshiyuki Toyonaga, Daiki Yamashita and Shunsuke Takeuchi.

This was a sleeper hit in 2020 but at the same time an album that set Loulou*di on a unique path of storytelling through nightmarish soundscapes that are as dark and solemn as you can get.

In this unscripted episode, you and I will revisit - or visit, if it is your first time - this outstanding album.

Trignal's Ironna Katachi arrived late in 2023 after a 5 year hiatus by the group to focus on Tsubasa Yonaga's recovery from Dysphonia.

And what this talented trio - with vocals by Ryohei Kimura, Tsubasa Yonaga and Takuya Eguchi - pulled off in this mini-album is unreal.

"Ironna Katachi" is a highlight reel that finally nailed something that was missing in Trignal's repertoire: music tailored to the singing skills of its members.

Listen and watch this episode - featuring an off-the-cuff video recording not used fully in the November episode of MONTHLY REVIEW - and check my opinions about this mini-album just one day after I had reviewed it.
