Johnny's Golden Voices

This is probably one of the hardest things to do. I couldn't find the right format for this list so in the end, I decided to just choose a few of my favorite Johnny's Entertainment bands and name their main vocals/singers. Now, let's not forget that JE ain't the best place for good singers, so your opinions may vary against mine. This is all coming from my perspective.

Let's go over them one by one.

Kikuchi Fuma (Sexy Zone)

Nothing beats fresh faces in the industry, and so the impact of the voice of this young lad was indeed, huge. Coming from a group of kids (besides Kento-nii), Fuma became Sexy Zone's main vocals due to his ability to reach the high notes even with a low tone when conversing. Fuma stood out more ever since Sexy Zone's debut. Despite the pain fangirls had to go through when B.I. Shadow didn't debut, some were kind of glad he finally debuted. This kid just had to. He had the face, and most importantly, he had the voice. We all know that he deserved it.

Nakajima Kento (Sexy Zone)

In every generation of Johnny's Jr., there would always be a "people's choice". And if there was an ultimate Junior before the time of Sexy Zone's debut, it would have to be NakaKen.

Being the leader and "onii-chan" of their group, Kento showed his leadership skills, charismatic charm and idol-like characteristics in a way that he can make the audience focus on him, and him alone, even when performing with a group. Aside from all that talent, NakaKen has also proved his vocal ability during Shokura and Johnny's Jr. Land by singing live even without music. Although his voice isn't as impressive as his co-member Fuma, we can all tell that Kento was trained well and enough. I just hope that he achieves the title of being the future Kimura Takuya someday. As some people say, with a voice like that, Kento is the future of Johnny's entertainment.

Kitayama Hiromitsu (Kis-My-Ft2)

Johnny's Ent. should have made this band debut a lot earlier. Then again, Kisumai's been on a roll ever since their debut last year. I had been anticipating that day right when they started promoting Ikemen Desu Ne. It was the drama where Kitayama guested as himself in A.N.Jell's concert. He didn't do much, (he passed by, and that was it.) but he made me laugh pretty much. I was happy he cameo-ed because what's Kisumai without this guy? His voice is amazing. My personal fave solo of his was the one from Kiss For U. Whenever I hear it, it would give me the goosies. As expected from the big mouth of the group, Kitayama deserves more solos. In fact, they should just give him the whole song. (lol.)

Akanishi Jin

Well.. (lol)

Even if Jin broke the hearts of many fangirls (including yours truly), we all know what kind of voice he possesses. A mixture of sexy with a hint of huskiness lives inside Jin's vocal chords. That bad boy look comes with a bad boy sound. His voice along with KATTUN's old songs, and even in his songs today, still contains that passionate, sensual vibe we once felt since he was a junior.

More power to him and Meisa. *fights back the tears*

Shibutani Subaru (Kanjani8)

When I first saw the promotions of "Dream Boys", Subaru's voice immediately appealed to me. Kanjani eight contains multiple musically-inclined talents and so I wasn't surprised to find Subaru as one of their members. I wasn't surprised to find out that he was a top Kansai Johnny's Jr. back then along with his co-member Nishikido Ryo.

I personally enjoy listening to Subaru's voice. My favorite Kanjani songs would have to be Tsubasa ni Koi and Ai Deshita. I listen to it mainly because of Subaru's voice. It's rock-y and fun to imitate (even if I fail miserably).

Ninomiya Kazunari (Arashi)

Well, it's part of my policy as a fangirl to never call a certain member a "bias", and so for Arashi, I neglected this rule of mine. Nino is the apple of my eye in this band. Even if he stands at around 164cm, he is still my favorite member. Besides his ability to look Forever 17, one of the other things I loved about him was that he could play the piano, and his voice is just wonderful (mainly while playing the piano). Nino's singing emphasizes Arashi's musical essence. He encouraged me to actually believe that they could sing live. (lol)

Nino's piano solos + Live singing + Rain = Explosion of ovaries.

Ohno Satoshi (Arashi)

During Johnny's survey/ranking, Ohno's always been that number one guy when it comes to being the lead vocalist. I mean, he's definitely one of my faves in Arashi. Let's face it. If we had a chance to hear Arashi live, besides Nino, Ohno is probably the only one who could dance like boss and sing like a god. His voice is Arashi heaven. Music Station's best with Ohno's live solos. I don't see why this little giant doesn't deserve the title, "Leader". Pushing aside his derpyness, when on stage, Ohno is the only one my ears literally focus on. There is absolutely no wonder why a lot of his kouhais admire him. His acting is awesome, his dancing is remarkable, and of course his singing is amazing. Johnny did the right thing when he decided to put money on Ohno. (lol)

Masuda Takahisa (NEWS/Tegomass)

NEWS is a band for unending talent. My love for the band got me into Johnny's. When it comes to their songs, of course, we can't help but wonder who owns that low, soothing, relaxing, sexy, full voice. It's obviously none other than Massu. Even if he may not look like he possesses a soothing voice, well...he does. Behind all that hilarious antics and humorous personality, he definitely has a relaxing sound. I, along with thousands of his other fans agree that he can be both a dancing and singing machine. Massu's talent is unending, very fit to be a member of NEWS. "Forever" would have to be my favorite song. And I can't help but try (but fail miserably, again) and copy Massu's low notes in "Kiss Kaerimichi no Love Song".

Tegoshi Yuya (NEWS/Tegomass)

And so my list ends with the vagina of NEWS. Can I just say that Tego was my very first Johnny's love? He has a face that can make me question my self-esteem. He has the appeal that can persuade girls into changing their genders. I used to think about him every second of my day. When I first encountered his voice in "Kiss Kaerimichi no Love Song", I just knew that it had to be love. His solos in concerts, his version of "Ai Nante", his high notes in every single NEWS/Tegomass song, is ultimate secks. If I had a chance to marry Tego without a voice, I would say no in an instant. (lol, as if)
