I heard this guy on the 2003 New Years Special (meaning 2003 going into 2004) and I love his song SAKURA and his voice is very soothing, I think his mother is an Enka singer, but I might be confusing my self...
i love moriyama naotaro's voice as well..! sakura was great, but i like songs like taiyo, natsu no owari and the other songs in his mini album better.. ^^
and yeah, his mom is moriyama ryoko, not really sure what genre she is, but she sings really well too..!
I love his songs and voice! I was introduced tio him through mognet.net! They subbed Natsu no owari some time ago ... his pants made me laugh, but his voice was subarashii! :victory:
A friend of mine likes him too and she sent me Sakura ... lovely song! I wanne get more of his music ... :rolly:
ohh! a thread for moriyama naotarou! i fell in love with his "sakura", but fell deeper when i heard him sing live during (was it nhk 2004?) some show. omg it was amazing!!!
if only someone could dig out that video or mp3 clip, i'd like to hear that again!
Naotaro Moriyama to make his drama acting debut in "HERO 2"
Singer-songwriter Moriyama Naotaro will make his acting debut in a drama through the FujiTV summer 2014 drama "HERO 2" featuring Kimura Takuya. He will be the guest in the first episode as a customer of an izakaya who injures a staff member there and is arrested for assault. Later on, it is discovered that his fingerprints match those found 15 years ago in a gems robbery case thus he has to face the prosecutor Kuryu Kohei played by Kimura.
Although Moriyama had acted in musicals before, this is his first attempt in a drama and he expressed great interest in trying something new. He was also happy to get Kimura's encouragement and became more confident in his acting.
Naotaro Moriyama will release his new album "Ah" on June 1.
This will be his first new album since "Ougon no Kokoro" was released in November of 2014. The album will include eight new songs along with his single "Ikiru (tte likiru)".
The Limited Edition DVD will contain PVs as well as a recording documentary and interview.
