Kaori Oda solo + collabs (non-YK / non-Sound Horizon)

[CloisteredFlame]

She is really an edgier pop singer. Her voice is a bit too strong for the typical Jpop although most of Yukis singers have an edge over the average Jpop Singer. There are some exceptions even among idols (I must think of former Morning Musume Member Ai Takahashi as an example).

Each of Yuki's main singers are strong solo and have multiple music/vocal influences so they're capable of singing varied and complex music Yuki writes for them. I was watching Highway Star Party 2023 again and just noticed how different Yuki's music was from the rest of the excellent cast of artists.

Morning Musume! They are the first Japanese group I ever got exposed to years ago via YouTube rips of a TV show - something about Japanese speaking English (with an American "teacher"). Rie Tanaka was new (maybe 13 or 14 if I recall) then I think. I watched many episodes and got to recognize some of them. Ai Takahasi is a familiar name from memory.

Having so many different characters in that kind of group kept things from being boring. The group was a more basic group vocally, but used a lot of catchy tunes, good looks, personality and dancing to create hype/interest.

You mean Reina Tanaka. Rie Tanaka is not affiliated with Momusu iirc. She was 13 when she started the Group since she is just 3 months younger than me. (born in August 89)

Thanks for sharing. I am still listening but it's cool to hear her singing entirely in English for several songs.

Also, liked the note: "Her friend and coworker Joelle, of Sound Horizon and Yuki Kajiura projects, was responsible for vocal direction."
This must be with regards to singing the popular, English-language Christmas classics.

You are welcome
Although i have to admit that when she sings Pence it sounds like pee which is kinda funny

I think there is really quiet since she announced her pregnancy. I am happy when she let something hear of herself. PS: did anyone see her husband in crossdressing?

It was a really nice showcase for her vocals without too much heavy music.

In my opinion, I feel it can serve as a more mature vocal comparison to her early Chix Chicks jazz-lite videos, stylistically.

I see Kaori posted a preview video of her Xmas single. 3 songs. THey are painful to listen to. They sound sharp and harsh. Not the usual softer Kaori voice I'm use to.

I disagree since I listened all of them on archives and I have to say I find her voice her really pleasant especially the christmas song and greensleeves

Google Lens translation:

On a personal note, I recently gave birth to a healthy baby boy. I am savoring the happiness of having a new member in our family. I am filled with gratitude for all the kind words I received when I announced my pregnancy. I hope to cherish every day that comes together as a family of three.

Currently, I am mainly updating the "Kaori Holdings" Fanicon, but I will gradually resume work other than on stage. I also have plans for solo events and a return to the live stage next year, so I look forward to meeting you all.

We look forward to your continued support of Oda Kaori.
