{Vocal Summary}One of the most talented and prolific songwriters to emerge from Japan in the 2010s, Enon Kawatani is a member of four fairly active bands at once. Of these, he is the primary songwriter of three and the lead singer of two, not to mention writing songs for a fair number of other groups on the side. While he is more recognized for his distinctive, hooky yet complex compositional style, he is also immediately identifiable as a vocalist. He is a fairly high-placed singer who often relies on his androgynous-sounding falsetto register, which, when layered, can be difficult to distinguish from female backing vocalists. His chest voice, meanwhile, has mellowed somewhat over the years, moving from a reedy, full-force belt to more standard, relaxed-sounding tenor highs. And though he was quite lowphobic in his early career, he's become more comfortable with that part of his range recently, particularly in Gesu where he focuses a bit more on lows to contrast with the voices of his female bandmates. Perhaps his most idiosyncratic quality is his heavy use of spoken word passages, which depending on the song can vary in intensity from high-speed rapping to soft, low monologues to impassioned, high shouts. On the whole, despite various scandals in his personal life that have cut him off from mainstream popularity, Kawatani is still a genius when it comes to constructing pop songs, and his voice, while not as technically impeccable as some others, is just another part of his music's charm.
