Masaaki Endoh

Masaaki Endoh is one of those singers who flips the whole room the second he opens his mouth, and I love him for it. He's basically anime-song royalty, the guy who can take a theme song and make it sound like a battle cry, and even decades into the game he's somehow louder and sweatier and more committed than singers half his age. There's a real Tohoku-kid stubbornness in his voice, this no-frills, full-throttle, throw-your-whole-chest-into-it energy that doesn't dress things up, it just hits you square. When he sings I feel less like I'm hearing a performance and more like an older brother is grabbing me by the collar telling me to go do my best today. He never seems to mellow out, he just keeps catching fire, and honestly that's the kind of aging I want to root for.
