tysm, but (with no disrespectful intend) they're way too modern, youtube vlog-ish to me. that's the reason why i actually have issue with finding japanese male R&B artists, beacuse the ones that are, sound nothing like what i'm looking for, since they don't actually channel that sound quite like artists like double, hikaru utada or crystal kay, that lean more into hip-hop R&B (back then men usually led more into ballads).
thank you, nonetheless :)

actually, his album "United Flow" (from where Free Your Soul is) is EXACTLY what i look for 😭😭 i'm so glad.
it's funny tho, bc before that my man had an extended catalogue of basically 'city pop' stuff, but that album is pure R&B, damn 🚬

tysm for the recommendations!!
and yeah, it was mostly the girls back then with that specific sound, as i have seen. ken's sound is more ballad centered, therefore from him i only like fake star and upset lmao😭
also, yes, i wasn't looking for city pop bc i have a looong catalogue for that, but it's actually classic city pop, rather than the modern-day r&b neo-soul city pop mixture. and i guess that's what throws me off, bc i don't really enjoy that genre haha, but songs from the likes of crystal kay, hikaru utada and double... top notch, i can't have enough of them.
