Second nation-wide released EP by singer Koresawa. Released December 16th (2015).

Ringo's Thoughts:
Koresawa's singing is what I like to call a 'sweet type' meaning she has a thin and cutsey sounding voice. Her music is rock-ish with poppy undertones. I found her first EP shortly after it was released and I really liked it. 'GITC' is basically like a part 2, because it sounds like the first EP's fraternal twin. They have the same vibes, which I don'y dislike, in fact I'm looking foward to when Koresawa puts out a full album. She has potential.

Background:
Utaite Reol's first solo debut album under Victor Entertainment. Gokusaishiki translates into 'richly colored'. Released July 29th (2015).

Ringo's Thoughts:
I'm not too deep into the utaite world but Reol really does stand out. Her voice is utterly unique and very powerful, which she frequently shows off in many of her covers and originals through some solid belting. She's a 'shota' type singer (according to her wiki page) and she's currently my second favorite utaite to debut professionally. I'm really looking forward to her next release.

Singer-songwriter Yamazaki Aoi's third full length album. The theme of this album is painful, fleeting, yet charming love. Released September 9th (2016).

Ringo's Thoughts:
Yamazaki was one of the first singer-songwriters I got into so any release from her is a happy occasion for me. Compared to her past albums RR has a much more pop-ish sound to it. The acoustic guitar is still present in each song, but more extra instruments are included than in past releases. I still like it...besides, the poppy undertones are pretty soft anyway. I will be honest and say I like her previous two albums better. I hope this doesn't become a pattern going forward, I like her more 'classic' singer-songwriter style.

Born Jan 29th (1994); seiyuu Ayane Sakura began voice acting in 2010 but got pretty small roles until 2011, when she landed a job as Merry, the main heroine of the anime Yumekui Merry. When she was younger Ayane was in a theater performance troupe where her voice trainer suggested she try out for the seiyuu business.

Notable Roles:
Moa (Show By  Rock!!)
Hoto Coccoa (Gochuumon wa...)
Tomori Nao (Charlotte)
Kurebayashi Yuzuki (WIXOSS)
Koshigaya Natsumi (Non Non Biyori)
Onodera Haru (Nisekoi)

Fun Facts:

1. When she was younger Ayane wanted to be become a boy, and fully considered herself one. She dressed and acted as such and even used male pronouns

2. Her favorite summer memory is playing basketball and eating bento with her male classmates

3. She is good friends with fellow seiyuu Uchida Maaya

Ringo's Thoughts:
Ayaneru is one of my favorite seiyuu, not only because of her voice, but because her personality is hilarious as hell. In contrast to her sweet voice type, she's actually very hyper and a total weirdo. In my opinion she's evolved little in her career, but she's young and has only been around for six years; she has plenty of time to build her repertoire and she is incredibly popular as is so there's that too. In 2016 Ayaneru is supposed to voice her first non-human character....I'm looking forward to this.

Background:
Seiyuu and singer Hanazawa Kana's newest music release 'Toumei Onnanoko' aka; 'Transparent Girl'. Released February 24th (2016).

Ringo's Thoughts:
Kana's new song gives off a very relaxed and 'loose' feel, sort of like a song you'd put on replay when going for a walk on a warm sunny day. 'Toumei Onnanoko' plays it safe with Kana's vocals, and doesn't even attempt to try and make her leave her soft singing range. The other two tracks are the same, with the third taking it even further and going full Makino Yui. Well, I don't dislike Kana's voice, her trademark whispery vocals are just that; a trademark. In the end it's another typical Hanazawa-style song, but I do enjoy it.

Background:
Ichiko Aoba is a popular indie singer-songwriter from Kyoto who released her first professional album (Razor Maiden) in 2010 at the age of nineteen after preforming original songs in local venues for several years. Ichiko started playing the classical guitar at seventeen and was scouted by another indie artist after watching her preform at a live audition that she later failed. Ichiko was mentored up until her official debut in 2010 but has remained in close contact with her teacher despite becoming more widely known than him. Ichiko's deep lulling voice is coupled with lyrics designed to transport you to another world. The singer says she gains all inspiration and musical material from her dreams (both awake and asleep) and as such her songs are often as surreal and haunting as a single acoustic guitar and a couple backing instruments can produce. Ichiko has released four original albums to date, her last being in 2014.

Ringo's Thoughts:
Ichiko Aoba really caught my attention when I first stumbled across some album rips on Youtube. Her song titles alone fascinated me and the lyrics just raked me in further. When I read about where she gets her inspiration, I felt an instant attraction, as I myself get material for songs/poems/stories from the same exact place. I become attracted to singers for many reasons, but few have managed to reel me in for the sheer fact of being what I consider fascinating. She's still preforming but she hasn't released anything in a while. I really hope to hear more from her soon.

Performance unit Happiness's new single. Released February 3rd (2016).

Ringo's Thoughts:
I'm so proud of these girls! They're truly unique among girl groups and their style has changed drastically since their indie days. The leader of the group, MIYUU, choreographed the entire dance, as she did before with the group's previous single Holiday. SYB is another dance-party jam tune (similar to Holiday) and combines rapping and smooth vocals with powerful and eye-catching dance moves. The PV is the group's most colorful to date and similar to Holiday once again, they collaborated with a fashion brand/designer for the PV's theme and costumes. Happiness is evolving with each new release and it's a real joy to watch!
