Well I don't know if they're retired, but I'd realy like to see Takumi (from Gimmick) and Shuu (from Heartless) active again.

As for vocalists who are active; I've really been into Hiro's (from EAT YOU ALIVE) vocals lately.

[Mr Bacon 106]

I'll be limiting this to VK.

01. Linda (Tokyo Heroes, now their guitarist)

02. Loki (ex-Sugar)

03. Nigu (cocklobin, ex-tosinn)

04. Naoki (yazzmad, ex-otoiro, ex-ShaGirl)

05. Kyotaro (ex-√eight)

[fitear1590 2414]

Well I don't know if they're retired, but I'd realy like to see Takumi (from Gimmick) and Shuu (from Heartless) active again.

Totally agree about Shuu. I didn't think he was that great when they started (certainly not bad), but with the most recent releases he realllllly improved. In fact the only thing lacking with Heartless' vocals were the harsh vocals. Kinda sucky, but I'm not even sure that was Shuu. It was a guitarist in the live versions, at least.

1. Asagi (D)

2. TAKA (ONE OK ROCK)

3. Hazuki (lynch.)

4. Takanori Nishikawa (abingdon boys school)

5. Yomi (Nightmare)

[ficsci 50]

I don't think I can rate this, the reasons why I like them are just too different

Temari!!! <3 (Ruvie, amber gris) - he has a distinct voice, but at the same time, I think he can also be appreciated as a good vocalist from more conventional perspectives. Live show charisma also gives him plus points. Plus his lyrics are awesome.

Mao (SID) - I don't like about half of SID stuff, but this guy just sounds so good. I think his voice is the reason why I even listen to any SID.

Tenten (KuRt, CPS) - he definitely doesn't have a conventionally good voice, but he works with what he's good at, and wow, does he sound real good (especially his really emo scream, lol). Oh, and the charisma of course XD

Takayuki Tazawa (Waive) - ok, sometimes he does too much of his "soaring high voice" thing, but he's so good at it.

Ryo (Baroque, kannivalism) - honestly I found his nasal thing kind of annoying before, but he's got his own style going on, and can sound so innocent T__T

--------

Not actual favorites, but extra kudos

Isshi (Kagrra,) - his falsetto makes me want to faint, he should do it aaaaall the time

Kyo (Dir en Grey) - I'm not a huge-huge fan, but I think he's awesome for the broad range of almost unthinkable vocal techniques he uses, holy crap.

Gara (Merry) - I hated his voice at first, but damn, no one else can do it like Gara

Chiba (Sendai Kamotsu) - I didn't know Yomi is THAT good until I heard how he can alter his voice so much as Chiba

[Tse 0]

oh, yeah yeah yeah.. i forgot temari... loove him, great voice, a lot of potence and expresion

[dmriojas 7]

Hm... yeah I guess I don't really have to many past ones, but present:

1. Isshi (kagrra,) [i'd marry the man for his voice, but his smile gets a million thumbs up too]

2. Mao (SID)

3. JURI (DELUHI)

4. Ruki (the GazettE) [yeah I did it!]

5. Hayato (Duel Jewel)
