Cool! Curious to hear what kind of style he'll go with.

[Tokage 5930]

i'm guessing it'll be ''the usual'' lol

[CELESTIAL CIEL 985]

it would be better to do something with dying floppy...

[madygrain 515]

I really hope it's something different to his other projects. I would love something acoustic or much more natural sounding than his usual stuff.

[madygrain 515]

He has his own website now. He also details his project in plain english. He'll be doing his usual stuff with overseas projection.

 

 

Sharaku Kobayashi has now begun a series of solo projects to further pursue his signature musical style, 8-bit pop.

 

Vocalist and sound creator for FLOPPY, one of the strongest techno-pop groups in Japan, Sharaku Kobayashi has decided to spell his name out in English for his solo career in order to emphasize his intent on taking his work overseas.

On the other hand, he retains a strong "Made in Japan" flavor in his style, both through his Kimono outfit and Japanese melodies.

With his extensive experience as a dedicated vocalist, Sharaku's stage presence is solid and dignified.

He gathers fame as one of the few Electro artists that can truly rock a crowd.

I see it is omitted that he was the vocal in METRONOME, a band many still remember dearly.

 

I guess there is room for his music in the west in the circles this kind of music is played.

[madygrain 515]

You can listen to his solo demos on his soundcloud it's pure 8 bit stuff. He could at least go for 16 bit

It actually is! It features some guest vocalists too iirc (there's information on it on his homepage).
