Pokota.

I don't see how people have difficulties distinguishing between Pokota's voice and that of GACKT. At the same time, I can't deny that Pokota has something that makes his voice a bit different. Not sure if it is OK to generalize, but his voice fits into the VK scene. If you showed me a song by him, I would very likely guess that he was a VK musician ( Read more... )

I can hear the similarities there and also I wouldn't say his singing skills are cold either. Since this is live you can see that he's giving it, maybe, his all. But it's just not as passionate as GACKT's voice. Also it's lacks the depth or richness that GACKT's voice has. Definitely not as skilled in composition though.

GACKT just has that way of composing the melody (is this the right term) for his vocals. I don't know if I can describe this but you know when you hear a part of a song, say the vocals or instrument solo from any group, and you are following along and it's like they just don't give it a natural finish. Does that make sense? But GACKT does that with all of his songs. It's almost a relief. Or is it a release? Soo comforting. *sigh*

You mean the intonation? Lowering it and raising it? oo

You mean to the melody? Yeah I think so. In the second vid, he has a really nice stage presence. Not as masculine as GACKT but fun.

I think he is obiously copying Gackt's style there.
It reminded me of G's MC's a LOT. Too much resemblance to be a coincidence..

Yeah I agree lol. But it's ok if he's a fanboy. I kind of ignored the MC part after a few seconds because it just didn't grab me. But later in the song when he's hopping about the stage and getting the crowd into it I liked his presence there. The MC yeah seemed a bit contrived, not natural maybe.

I'm loving the piano heavy song above. Maybe I haven't paid enough attention to GACKT's piano laden songs but for me they are a bit too "dramatic pause" heavy. I love them but I like the flow of the piano in the song you posted in the reply above alot.

Thanks for this btw. I'm always looking for more music!
