LDH Soloists

This post is the last part in the "LDH artists whom I've listened to" series. Also, this is gonna be shorter than the previous two posts since I haven't listened to lots of LDH soloists, whether they're a part of EXILE TRIBE/E.G. Family or not. So, here are the soloists whom I've listened to:

1. Hiroomi Tosaka (登坂広臣)

He's one of the vocalists of J.S.B.'s third generation. His deep sultry voice is so lovely and unique. In his first album, he also has plenty of good songs and channeled different kinds of concepts. From loving yet slightly lusty song in FULL MOON, cool and slightly arrogant personality in LUXE (not that I mind cause he totally nailed that concept as well), fun and casual in DIAMOND SUNSET and Not For Me, to a lovely and emotional ballad in With You and END OF LINE. Seriously, what kind of concept he can't pull off?

I love most of his songs in his first album FULL MOON. But when I think about it, I think Omi is a selenophile since his discography mostly has something to do with moon. Not just the titles, but also the cover art. FULL MOON, SUPERMOON. He really must have a thing with moon. I haven't got the chance to hear his other discographies, but I'm gonna do that since he's so talented.

2. CrazyBoy (ELLY)

ELLY is a Performer in J.S.B.'s third generation, and he debuted as a rapper under the name CrazyBoy. His songs are upbeat and Hip-Hop. Just like Omi, I've only listened to his first album (which I really like) and I'm gonna continue listening to his discography later on since he's talented.

3. Dream Ami

She's the only Dream/E-girls former member who debuted as a soloist before the disbandment of Dream and her departure from E-girls. She naturally has high pitched voice and was the member who can reach highest notes. Despite of having a high pitched voice which is slightly similar to most of Japanese idol group members, she is a decent singer due to the techniques she uses when she sings.

I think I can't write about her that much since I've only listened to Amaharu and Good Goodbye. Her concept as a soloist are mostly soft and feminine, with a dash of fantasy. Perhaps I'm gonna listen to the rest of her discography later on.

Those are the only soloists in LDH which I've listened to. Perhaps I'm gonna listen to Shizuka's debut single later on, as well as GENE's vocalists solo songs. I'm gonna consider listening to Sho Aoyagi too, since I like his voice when I listened to his solo song Maria (available in HiGH&LOW Original Soundtrack). He is one of the finalists for EXILE Vocal Battle Audition where TAKAHIRO won as the new vocalist for EXILE. Maybe I'll listen to Ryuji's solo songs and the rest of EXILE's vocalists as well; except NESMITH cause he's the only EXILE vocalist who doesn't debut as a soloist, whatever the reason is.

This agency also has other soloist who are not related with the whole EXILE TRIBE/E.G. Family thing like Crystal Kay, MIYAVI, JAY'ED, Leola, CRAZY SHIKAKKEI, and MABU. But since I'm currently happy with the current artists that interest me, perhaps it'll take quite a long time until I finally got the interest to listen to them. The main reason has been stated in the first post of this "LDH Trilogy Posts". Or maybe I'll lose my interest in trying to listen to them, but that's the future to decide since I'm comfortable with my pace in exploring the artists in this agency.
