Free!
I got my eyes on these two? Three? ...Err or more seiyuus of Free! This is new for me, since I never paid that much attention for seiyuus over their character.
I don't familiar with seiyuu world, the usual one that I know are usually one of my fave character, like:
- Megumi Oogata : VA Shinji of Evangelion, also Kurama of YYH.
- Suzumura Ken'ichi : Ouran Host club twin.
That's all.. Ermm.. LOL
But but after seeing Free! I got hooked a lot of their VA! And Free! isn't even a musical anime!
Free! got a lot of nice song.. and great lyrics!!! Omg... the lyrics... even if not all but they are very well written, based on english translation of course.. And they can sing!! They can hit the note perfectly! .....................Much digging, turn out some of them really did release a single of their own, some studied on theater, some took off as a singer.......... But still they are a VA! So now the line between a VA and a singer is a bit blurring...
The most popular one (as a singer and a VA)
-Miyano Mamoru
As Matsuoka Rin -character song: Gratefully-

Errrrr.... Before all I recommend to watch -Free! Iwatobi Swimming Club- and -Free! Eternal Summer- to fully grasp the meaning of the lyrics. Both only has 13 episodes, so overall is 26 episode and 1 bonus episode. It's quick to watch. The pacing is great, faster in the end of Eternal Summer. But I have to warn whomever read this, this title really cause me emotional rollercoaster when watching this series.. It was for about 3 months of first season and then 3 months second season next year I was having a..... very powerful feeling. Looking back now, ...it was very fun and beautiful.
- Tatsuhisa Suzuki, and his band Old Codex
Also sung for both of Free! openings and a VA for a super popular character,
Tachibana Makoto
His voice as Makoto is very cute, very cheerful, and soothing, despite his body measure as one if not the tallest of Free! character. Wait... what did they describe him as............ cinnamon roll? Oh right! A Cinnamon roll character!

- Nobunaga Shimazaki, as the Main Character, Nanase Haruka
And these three combine, become....
[The cover album is incorrect. It sung by Style Five, but in this track only these three are singing.]

And lastly!! This one.... The one character that I didn't think can pull off a VERY beautiful singing.
- Hosoya Yoshimasa, as Yamazaki Sousuke

AAAAAAaaaaaaaa.. I can't breath normally! Too beautiful.....
Once we understand what he was singing about, there's no turning back.......
Free! really has great writers.....
Digging around.. Sousuke VA isn't just a normal VA.. he is also a smooth singer! Excellent!
He sung in Prince of Tennis tour..... I never like character songs of other anime this much!
Bonus: This one is just too awesome to pass :D
Have a great time :D
