Gotta BeYoshinori Shomon, Ken Kojima
Masakado Yoshinori and Kojima Ken, members of the Aぇ! group, possess the unique charm and diverse talents nurtured by Kansai culture.
Since their formation in 2019, they have showcased a wide range of performances—not only singing and dancing but also full band sets.
In May 2024, they made their CD debut, drawing significant attention.
Their careers in entertainment began in 2011: Masakado Yoshinori has been highly praised for his role in a serialized TV drama, while Kojima Ken has received acclaim for his leading performance in a drama series.
On their album “D.
N.
A,” they present a variety of tracks, from energetic band sounds to disco-inspired numbers.
With Masakado on guitar and Kojima on keyboards, and their approachable, Kansai-style personalities, they continue to captivate many fans through both music and variety programming.

Leveraging the strength of all being from the Kansai region, Naniwa Danshi continues to captivate audiences with performances brimming with Kansai-specific charm.
They made their CD debut in November 2021, and many of their subsequent releases have ranked high on the Oricon charts.
The group has built a sparkling track record, including winning Best 5 New Artists at the 36th Japan Gold Disc Awards.
Every member is also skilled in acting, thriving across a wide range of fields such as TV dramas, films, and stage productions.
In April 2024, they formed the limited-time unit KAMIGATA BOYZ together with other Johnny’s groups from Kansai, further accelerating their momentum.
They’re highly recommended for those drawn to the blend of friendly Kansai dialect and polished performance.
sonetACIDMAN
Within its grand melody, this song holds both the resolve to live boldly and a gentle tenderness.
Set against the vast nature of Hokkaido, it portrays life’s joys and sorrows through the moon and stars shining in the night sky, and the falling rain and snow.
Along the journey of chasing dreams, it leaves a deep afterglow that quietly speaks to the importance of living true to oneself.
The track was pre-released by ACIDMAN in December 2024, with the CD following in January 2025.
Chosen as the ending theme for the final episode of WOWOW’s drama “Renzoku Drama W Golden Kamuy — Hokkaido Tattooed Prisoner Contest Arc,” it is also complemented by striking footage shot on location in Hokkaido by film director Shigeaki Kubo.
When you stand at a crossroads in life or face an important decision, this is a song that will stay close to your heart.
Be the soil that makes flowers bloom, rather than the flowers themselves.Very Good Man
A heartwarming message song that sings the value of those who support others and work hard behind the scenes.
Rather than glamorizing the people who shine on center stage, it brilliantly captures the spirit of those who keep supporting from the shadows.
Its lively sound—melding pop and R&B—stands out alongside a melodic progression.
Written by the three members of Beverly Goodman for broadcast on NHK’s “Minna no Uta” starting in December 2024, the song’s powerful energy and warm vocals resonate with everyone facing life head-on.
It’s a track meant for those who worry about going unnoticed at school or work, and for those who keep dedicating themselves to someone else.
Let's become a familyMasaharu Fukuyama
A love song woven by Masaharu Fukuyama, a gem of a ballad overflowing with warm affection.
Its gentle melody tenderly embraces the precious feelings you share, harmonizing beautifully with heartwarming lyrics that focus on marriage and family bonds.
It carefully portrays gratitude toward one’s partner and hope for a future walked together, making it a timeless masterpiece that resonates deeply with listeners.
Released in August 2011, the song was featured in the commercial for Recruit’s wedding magazine Zexy and reached No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It has continued to be cherished at many weddings ever since.
This is a song that stays close to the heart—one to listen to when you want to feel the bond with someone special or when you’re about to take a new step in life.
Bunny GirlAKASAKI
You can’t go a day without hearing the song “Bunny Girl” on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
It’s a signature track by the young singer-songwriter AKASAKI, known for its light, breezy melody.
In contrast to its bright and airy feel, the song’s vocal line is crafted with a very narrow range.
Because the pitch movement is very gentle, anyone can sing it in chest voice.
Even men with very low voices should be able to sing it without issue in the right key, so considering how well it’s received, it’s definitely worth adding to your repertoire.
A bouquet for boring daysLUCKY TAPES
Kai Takahashi’s solo project, LUCKY TAPES.
In the early days, their sound often mixed rock and J-pop, but recently the R&B side has grown stronger, and they’ve been releasing many stylish tracks.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Bouquet for Boring Days.” While it’s categorized as J-pop, it carries an R&B-like groove in places.
That said, the rhythm isn’t difficult, and it doesn’t feature the advanced vocal techniques common in R&B, such as melisma.
The vocal range is also very narrow, making it a song that should be easy for teenage male singers to perform.
