Koji Wada *sigh* OMG, Koji Wada is my favorite singer ever.
I just love his music, his voice, everything~♥
He first debuted in 1999 with his first single "Butter-Fly".
In 2003, Wada released his first original album, All of My Mind, which included many of his previous songs He also collaborated in Ōta Michihiko's self-cover album Mirai e no Message ~Ōta Michihiko Self-Cover~, featuring in two tracks - a cover version of "Hontō no Tsuyosa" (本当の強さ)(
Ken &
Wormmon's Theme) and in "3 Primary Colors" (the
Tamers' theme), along with AiM. More recently, he has released an album called The Best Selection ~Welcome Back!~. It contains several of his earlier works as well as two new songs, titled "Pierce" and "Kimi no Keshiki." On August 1, 2008, he debuted a mini-album titled ever, which contained five brand new songs. His newest full album, called Kazakami no Oka Kara (風上の丘から), is being sold at his live concerts in Japan throughout the end of 2009 in commemoration of his 10th anniversary in music. Its outside release date is yet to be announced.
Wada sang the several songs that were also used as opening themes for the five seasons of Digimon. He also performed two songs used as ending themes of the series, "Innocent ~Mujaki na Mama de~" (イノセント~無邪気なままで~)and "an Endless Tale" (with
AiM). He starred in various other songs for the series, such as "Bokura no Digital World" (the "memorial" theme for the
Adventure series), "Yūki o Uketsugu Kodomo-tachi e" and also several Christmas songs. He also performed a song for
Transformers: Robots in Disguise In July 2007, Wada made his first show in Brazil, doing a solo presentation and singing along others invited Japanese singers on the "
Anime Friends". This happened one year after Ayumi Miyazaki visited Brazil in another convention "ExpoAnime Brasil". He also visited the state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil in October 14 2007, during the Anima Weekend event. In December 15-16th 2007, he made a live presentation in the "Anime Festival XL" event in Santiago, Chile. In August 2008, he released a mini-album named "ever", which contains five original songs, with four of them composed and written by himself. In December 2008 he was performing in the "Animeku 08" and in February 2010 in the "AniCon", both in Argentina. -But no Mexico yet Dx-
Now, Koji Wada is my favorite singer ever. He is an important part of my childhood, is because of him that I discovered the japanese music, and after all these years, after the 7500 japanese songs in my pc -and korean songs too-, after all the other singers, Koji Wada is still my favorite, I can hear his songs over and over again and never get tired of them. I know he doesn't have the biggest discography or the best voice or whatever, but he made me feel so happy while I listening his songs.
