solos :
- Saito Kazuyoshi (oh man you HAVE to listen to him , he's
AMAZING & when your husband Ryo Nishikido name dropped him during HEYx3 a while back ago when Kanjani8 appeared on to promote PUZZLE , you know you can't go wrong with Saito at all .
He wrote & composed the song PUZZLE on their PUZZLE album & I love Don't Worry Be Happy which's his latest single . He will be releasing his new single COME ON ! next month & his 13th album Tsuki ga Noboreba in Sept & I have already preordered it from CDJapan haha)
- Fukuyama Masaharu (Keshin's
& his new album Zankyou's pretty good)
- Suga Shikao (he wrote KAT-TUN's Real Face
& wrote & composed ARASHI's Aozora no Pedal . His new single's called Party People & it's real groovy)
- Matsushita Yuya (not a lot of people know about him but I do . I found his music when I was watching MTV Asia / MTV China & they had his 2nd single LAST SNOW on repeat mode til I cannot take it anymore xD
he will be releasing his new single Honesty & the PV can be downloaded via the Asian Media Downloads section
)
- Shota Shimizu (his new single Utsukushii Hibi yo / Sayonara wa Itsumo Sobani is nice & I also recommend Love Forever which's a duet that he did with Miliyah Kato which's lovely)
- Ken Hirai (I used to be so obsessed over him before Johnny's bands came knocking on my door LMAO . I still like his music but I'm not crazy over him as before)
- Yusuke
- Tsuyoshi
- Takizawa Hideaki (his new solo stuff's pretty good , especially Sha la la / Mugen no Hane & he provides the theme song for Orthos no Inu too
)
These're what I have recommended & if you need even more , I can help
