Edit: This is the kind of coherence and artist identity (at least visually) I wanted for Hikaru: be one thing and "be it" strongly. Wakana is much stronger in that sense having the whole classic anisong/Ghibli ballad diva vibe from the start.
East Of Eden / IKIZAMA (Music Video)
OK, this song started as a YouTube advert (random recommendation, ok maybe not so random since I follow the bassist, MINA. formerly of the now defunct Girlfriend) and the vocalist immediately reminded me of Hikaru - the vocal range and the visual vibe, and the fact that it's a rock song too! Something Hikaru could totally rock, whether in MV or on stage.Edit: This is the kind of coherence and artist identity (at least visually) I wanted for Hikaru: be one thing and "be it" strongly.

@CloisteredFlame Loving your analyses of singers! 
I wonder what your take on Tenge Fyuki is, if you're familiar with her. She's a metal singer who's really upped the ante across the releases by アンラッキー・モルフェウス. My particular favorite is the Live album "Live 2017". I think she's technically come a very long way as a singer by this point. This performance might be one of my absolute j-rock/j-metal favorites ever. I've not listened to the later live releases. She seems slightly underrated to me but I could be wrong about this impression.

Do you mind just sending me the YouTube link directly? It would help me to get exactly the performance you're wanting to show.@CloisteredFlame Loving your analyses of singers!

I know Fuki of Unlucky Morpheus though...
