one of the most influential frontman, ask the japanese vocalists who idolizes him. MORRIE, too should be at the top ten

ronluna

I heard the solos of ryuichi kawamura, hyde, sakurai atsushi, morrie but I’m attracted to the way he sings. he sings punk, metal, ballad, rock. he is under appreciated. I saw and listen to other artists I’ve mentioned and I can’t find any downloadable solo albums of him.
