Suga Shikao’s comment
▼How to coach The Voice Japan
What is singing? It’s not about technique. Technique is of course important, but you can already compete in areas other than technique. It’s because there’s something really in your voice, or there’s a message on top of the song, and those slightly invisible parts are probably in the song, so if you’re just good at singing, I don’t think you’ll get caught. I don’t know.
I feel like I want to give proper advice that singing is a one-liner, but I can’t give technical advice at all. It’s more about how you approach the song.
▼ What is the appeal of The Voice?
Since the focus is on singing, I don’t think you can survive with a half-baked one-shot performance, and I think only really great singers can survive, so I think it’s a place where it’s easy to meet the real thing. I will.

■ Comment from HY Izumi Nakasone
▼How to coach The Voice Japan
My task this time is to draw out people’s sensibilities, to draw out their own stories that appeal to people, and to draw out the lyrics and singing that make them shine the most. I would like to work on it thinking about it.
It’s not like I teach them something just because I’m a coach, but I want to be like their family, like their friends, like their brothers. And I think.
▼ What is the appeal of The Voice?
There are people who wonder if they got accepted because they look really cute, and there are people who wonder why they can’t rise to the top even though they sing so well and their expressiveness is amazing.
In this audition, you really choose by voice, not by appearance.
That’s why I feel like that kind of audition finally came to Japan.

■ About The Voice
The Voice is a music audition program that finds the best “voice” in the country. Talented people in all kinds of songs, not appearances, gather and collide with singing voices, and the winner is given the title of “The Voice Japan”. At The Voice, there is no so-called judging, and four top-class artists act as “coaches” to find the singing voices of promising vocalists who are still unknown and coach them. In the “blind audition” at the beginning of the program, the coaches cannot see the vocalists performing with their own eyes, and must sit behind the stage and hear only the vocalists’ voices to judge the vocalists’ abilities. . In the next stage, the “Battle Round”, the winning vocalists collide with each other in the ring with their voices and vocal talents. And at the final live show, the show’s viewers voted for their favorite vocalist, and in the end, only one vocalist would win The Voice.
