Favorite Bemani sound producers as vocalists

[nilmind]

This thread is mainly just for haha's and focuses on those rare times where some of your favorite artists actually sing. In order to keep this gimmicky, I felt I had to omit jun, Des-ROW and Asaki since they sing frequently enough. By the way, I'm still not sure if it was Yoshitaka who sung the male vocals in Endless Summer Story; I'll appreciate it if someone can confirm this from the Gold OST if proof is in there. Also, I still don't have confirmation on whether TAKA was the vocalist in his band colors or not.

The following are pretty much all YouTube links in case some of you haven't heard these songs before:

Naoki -
Get Wild
Parasite World (male voice)

TAKA -
Memories
(maybe all those songs sung by the band colors where the vocalist does sound like him)

good-cool -
Wana
Honey
memories -still remain mix-

Yoshitaka -
Haruka (male voice)
(maybe Endless Summer Story)

Akira Yamaoka -
iFUTURELIST
Lion Suki

kors k -
Brilliant Skies (cut sample thanks to kannazuki)
Heaven Above

Yoshihiko Koezuka -
Taiyo to Batoru

Anyway, out of all of them, I chose Yoshitaka. And TAKA can't sing, haha.

This is going to be a tough poll. I think all of them sing pretty well so...
Voice-wise I think it's gonna be between Naoki, Yoshitaka and kors k. Didn't kors k sing 'heaven above'?

Hahaha, I think I'm gonna go with Naoki. He really should sing more often :P

Yeah, I actually left that out there because I felt the heavy filter in that song couldn't fully demonstrate his voice. I think I can add that one in so long as people don't forget to listen to Brilliant Skies. *edits*

Oh yeah, and I'll agree with your top three choices, but I like good-cool's voice as well.

[Shigekix]

Brilliant Skies is awesome. There's so much work kors k's done that I don't know about.

Where's 'other'? I could've voted Asaki.

Might as well vote good-cool. I hate most of Yoshihiko Koezuka's vocal stuff.

In other words, I just felt like this evens out the playing field a little. I feel that being regular vocalists themselves, those three don't count as gimmicks, which was where I was trying to put focus on here.

I guess a more accurate title for this thread would be "who's your favorite artist as a vocalist who doesn't sing much at all" :p

[kannazuki]

I'm going with Yoshitaka because of that One Piece cover he did and Seishun Rock (儚きは我が決意). Though kors k and good-cool do come quite close, kors k especially because he's probably the one person I'd want to hear singing in Japanese.

Yoshihiko Koezuka...

Because of prism

same here. I do like his instrumental songs (.e.g. Green Lime) and those that are with other vocalists (like Twinkle☆berry), though .

For Heaven Above, I thought those "vocals" were just mere samples? Was it really kors k?

for my fave vocalists, I'll go for TAKA, Yoshi-kun, Akira Yamaoka, Asaki, Naoki and good-cool.

No, he wasn't. I think it was someone named "HIRO" (as stated in the song info of Key in IIDX RED's homepage).

[Koop]

NEGAIGOTO NEGAIGOTO
NANDAKE NAAANDAKE o/`

actually i love his voice in all of his vocal songs (but Negaigoto the most ahaha (this is pop'n 15 song.))

That was really kors k, heavily put through a filter and singing in English.

Do you happen to have a link where this song is featured so I can put it in the first post?

And I honestly don't know too much about Yoshihiko Koezuka. Do you think he'd be considered gimmick enough? If not, then it won't be fair to jun, Des-ROW and Asaki =P.

[tsugaru7reveng]

I'd say Yoshihiko Koezuka is one of those people that sing often.

[PICASIO PICASIO]

AKIRA YAMAOKA FUCK YES!!

[Onipa]

I voted Yamaoka. I like Osamu Migitera a LOT though, and Slake's rapping in Country Beats is great.
