I think we all know that our favorite boys can, on the whole, sing quite well. We've all heard them sing, whether together or individually, and I think that we all know that more than a few of them have marvelous voices.
Which leads me to the question: if you were to make up a band or a singing group out of the boys in Tenipuri, who would go into your group, and why?
For my part, I already have a list of boys who could go into my "ideal singing groups." This is the first group:
Oshitari ~ His voice is an excellent "bass" for any vocal group, providing a very stable foundation for the vocals of the other singers. A good bass voice is always crucial, especially in a capella situations. On the whole, however, Oshitari's voice is excellent when soft and low, adding a seductive "purr" to the vocals of the other singers.
Sanada ~ I have to say that he has one of the most marvelous voices amongst the Tenipuri boys. It is deep and quite powerful, providing an excellent "backbone," as it were, to the vocals of any group he sings with. My best friend noted once that there is a "pleading" quality to his voice, making it wonderful to listen to when singing love songs and the like.
Tachibana ~ On first hearing, it is easy to mistake Tachibana's voice for Sanada's, but Tachibana's voice lacks a forcefulness that is present in Sanada's. Tachibana's voice is smoother than Sanada's, while still possessing a similar quality that is very pleasing the ears.
Atobe ~ His voice has an emotive quality that will provide color and texture to the song being sung. Though there are times when his voice becomes a bit "metallic" when he hits higher notes, that's something that can be ignored to a certain extent. There is a compelling quality to his voice that makes one want to listen to it - rather like the singer himself, when one thinks about it...
Tezuka ~ Again, like Atobe, his voice has an emotive quality that will add life and texture to the song, but his voice is lower than Atobe's, hence giving it a richer and more well-rounded sound. Like Atobe, his voice becomes rather problematic when he has to hit higher notes, but as long as he stays in the range that he can sing, there's nothing to worry about. In my opinion, his voice is made for the singing of moonlight serenades, to the accompaniment of a single acoustic guitar, mostly because he can convey such sensitivity of emotion when he sings.
This is the second group:
Fuji ~ One of my good friends told me this once: "Fuji has a voice to make even angels shiver, because something that sounds that beautiful cannot be good." This is quite true: Fuji's voice is indeeds stunningly beautiful - in a rather girly sort of way... Still, he has one of the most beautiful voices in Tenipuri, and I would take him to sing any day.
Ryoma ~ I like Ryoma's voice. While not as deep as the voices of the other boys that I mentioned, there is no denying that he can sing, and sing well. While there is still a somewhat childish quality to his voice, that still works well in a lot of situations, providing freshness in interpretation.
Oishi ~ His voice is the most "normal" of them all, but still, it is also a very lovely voice, made for the singing of cheerful songs and sweet, soulful ballads. His voice is honest and open, and can convey emotions very, very well.
Sengoku ~ Sengoku's voice is a very cheerful one, and that is something that I like very much. His voice and Oishi's are best made for retaining melodies, as opposed to doing voicing, and for that, the two of them are important. Though his voice occasionally goes flat from time to time, singing with Oishi ought to salvage that flaw well enough.
Kirihara ~ I always believed this boy was born to sing rock songs, and I when I first listened to his image song I knew that I was right. There is a quality to his voice that adds texture and vibrancy to any song that he sings, hence making him the perfect counterbalance to the "sweeter" voices of Fuji and Oishi.
Yukimura ~ Though his voice is very, very similar to Fuji's, it's more solid, as it were, less breathy than Fuji's. There is also a deeply soulful quality to his voice that can give any song a beautifully emotional quality to it. Hence, his voice balances out the edge in Kirihara's voice, the occasional blandness of Ryoma's voice, and the sometimes-too-cheerful tone in Sengoku's.
Well... Those are the two singing groups that I would make from the Tenipuri boys, if I could. What about you guys?

Inuii've been a fan of tsudaken for a while, and yes, it's because inui's voice. i really love it! especially when he sings in Departures and Te no naka ni sekai o tsutsumu michi futatsu kousa suru uta.. his voice is so deep and smooth.. though he sometimes has problems when he sings high notes, his voice is a kind of voice that could make me go.. crazy XD 2. Eijieiji's and inui's voice differ so much, and i really love it when they sing together! and i really like eiji's cheerful and sweet voice~ 3. Tezukayes, i'm a fan of KIBOU no Uta X3 tsudaken, takahasi hiroki, and okiayu are my fav seiyuu of the series. tezuka's voice is really nice and smooth, and it's really full of emotion 4. Mizukiwell.. he never actually "sings", but i predict his voice is a sweet and smooth one. well, we all know how great ishida akira's voice is, ne? ^_^ 5. Ryouma..need to say more? 6. Shinjito tell you the truth, i don't know why i love his voice so much. he sings really well in pulltab to kan's songs!

If I were to make one...I don't think mine would be as planned out as yours, Kage-san! But...I know that I'd definitely have Atobe-sama in there. Also, I think Fuji's voice is sweet. And for some reason, Taka-san's rough voice appeals to me, too. =)

*laughs*
*nods at both Akira-chan and Buchou-sempai's choices*
All of those men have fabulous voices - then again, I suppose we can't expect any less of the boys (and girls!) who worked as the seiyuus in PoT.
To Akira:
I like your selection of boys. I always found Inui's voice very nice, but somehow it didn't really "get" to me as much as Oshitari's voice did - and they somewhat sing in the same octave! Somehow, I prefer the quality of Yuushi's voice more than Inui's - but that's just personal preference.
Eiji's voice doesn't really appeal to me when he sings alone, but when he sings with other people, it's very nice. I guess I just have a preference for deeper-voiced men...
A pity that Mizuki doesn't sing, really. I downloaded Un Soir to hear him sing, and then I found out that he just talks. It was kind of disappointing. But I agree with you: if Mizuki were to sing, it would actually be a rather romantic-sounding voice.
Have you heard Shinji's image song yet? His voice is beautiful, don't get me wrong, but I think the song was wrong for his voice - his image song, I mean. They ought to have made him sing something that was more in keeping with his voice... Maybe something with just an acoustic guitar and a drum...
To Buchou-sempai:
*laughs in response to Buchou-sempai's remark about how "organized" her choices are*
I can't help it, really... My best friend and I were debating all of these points before, and while there were times she would concede to my choices, there were also times when she didn't. We really got into explaining everything out, down to the last detail, so I suppose that kind of spilled out into my own explanation above.
Yes, that's the best adjective to use in describing Fuji's voice - because his voice is quite sweet, and in a very nice way too. I remember how he sounded when he sang Amazing Grace, and it made me feel tingly all over.
As for Atobe-san...yes, definitely, he must sing. That man has a voice made for singing. My best friend and I fell completely in love with October, and we have this image of Atobe singing while Ohtori plays the violin, Gakuto plays the drums, Shishido plays lead guitar and Oshitari takes the bass guitar. I tell you, if either my best friend or I had the ability to draw, we would have drawn that image.
Kawamura also has a wonderfully nice voice, but somehow, it didn't appeal to me as much as the others'. No doubt, he's got a good voice, and would probably sound cool singing a rock song, but his voice isn't really my kind of thing...

I tell you, if either my best friend or I had the ability to draw, we would have drawn that image. I agree entirely with Atobe having to sing. His voice allows a variety of songs. I love October as well *swoon* And that image you had for it...*drool*...I may attempt to draw that after my exams are done... I read this thread and I had to do some thinking to get the perfect band...and I still don't have the perfect band...but those with nice voices, I shall list. Atobe: Reasons already listed. Akutsu: The seiyuu himself is quite talented, as his natural voice is not the voice he uses for Akutsu. He's also got a unique singing voice, as it's slightly husky. Shishido: At first, I was iffy on his voice, but after listening to "Alive", I concluded that he had quite a smooth voice, if he didn't need to exert too much effort. Mizuki: Why they didn't give him an image song, who knows...what a waste!! Reason's alreayd listed. Oshitari: Reasons already listed Kirihara: reasons listed. I actually like the ensemble they used for Pull Tab to Kan, I prefer them over the Seigaku boy bands...

To Vorspiel:
*grins at the thought of seeing the image on paper*
Please do, when you can! I'd love to see it, if possible.
*grins*
Akutsu's voice reminds me a bit of the quality that Taka-san's voice has. They have completely different voices, true, but there is a quality there that is almost similar - I think it could be the huskiness. Shishido's voice, on the other hand, is rather good - as you said, it's very smooth, and I like that smoothness. Quite a contrast to his usual gruff attitude, don't you think?
*laughs*
Pull Tab is a collection of some of the best singers in PoT. Notice that in the song "Gather," singers from Pull Tab dominate over the singers from Kap to Bin and Aozu? I mean, in "Gather," the Pull Tab singers include Sengoku, Atobe, Sanada, Kirihara and Oshitari, while only Fuji and Ryoma come from Aozu, and only Kikumaru comes from Kap to Bin.
*giggles*
I guess Atobe simply has the power to put together all these wonderful singers together - and it's definitely a feat on his part to get Sanada to actually sing.
*laughs*

They like...supercompose each other and sound GREAT together. 2nd Group: Kiri Sengoku-san Same reason as above 3rd: Ryoma Fuji Dan Yukki- Can you see the trend? Just out of pure INTEREST...I wanna see how they go...fufufufufufufufu... 4th: Sanada-san Yanagi-san Tachibana-san Hiyoshi Fufufufufufufu...another one of my INTEREST groups... *smirks* And no...it's not cause I heart most of these peoples... *whistles* No, truely...

To sakura1118:
*laughs at her idea of putting Sanada, Atobe and Tezuka together in a vocal group*
Mmm, those three have voices that sound like boulders-and-honey...
*shivers with delight*
I agree with you: putting these three together to sing would result in a lot of fluttering hearts. While thus far, only Sanada and Atobe have sung together in a group (Pull Tab to Kan), you can imagine what it would be like if we were to throw Tezuka into that mix.
*sighs while fanning self*
What I would not give to hear those three to sing together...
As for Kirihara and Sengoku singing together... I will admit that they do sound very nice together, but maybe Sengoku ought to sing a couple notes lower than Kiri, just to make a distinction between the two of them. I know that Kiri can hit higher notes fairly easily, which isn't something that Sengoku can do, so maybe a layering of voices would be nice for the two of them.
*taps chin thoughtfully, and then grins*
Oh, and hearing them sing something Celtic would really be interesting.
As for your third group... This is a combination that seems promising - a little high on the octaves, but interesting nonetheless. Yukimura and Ryoma's voice will add balance and stability to Dan and Fuji's voices, which occasionally waver, from time to time, so that's a good thing.
As for your last group... Well, I don't think I have the right to comment on it because I haven't heard Hiyoshi and Yanagi sing yet.
*laughs in an embarrassed manner*
Though I think that, all things being equal, this is a group that would prove wonderful listening.

Senpai: o.0 *I din't hear that I didn't hear that I didn't hear that I didn't hear that >o<* arbitraryblackness-san: (I there sumthing else I can call you... ) Yeah...i love these 3 sing...Kusunoki-san, Okiayu-san and Jyun-Jyun... *in fairy land* "boulders-and-honey" I like that... *dreamy* Zuka in with those two would be like 0o0 *jaws falls to ground* Kiri and Sengoku-san... *growls* True...even I struggle, and I tend to be alright at voice matching... Their voices sound similar, but when they sing together *looks at Gather* it was like *throws up* Agreed there! Sengoku-san's voice is too high for Toriumi-san... Plus he gives me the creepsYeah, layering would be nice from them. ^w^ Celtic...I'm not really familiar with Celtic...but yeah...that actually would be something to look forward to ne?? Uh...my third group... THAT was just pure interest of bringing the voice actreeses together... *weak laugh* They ARE all females ne...? Well...the lower voices would nicely even out the higher now thinking about it... *gets bricked* Having Yukki- and Ryoko-chan's voices do tend to give the stronger melody, and maybe the harmpony would be... *in fairy land once more* My forth group was just uh...wafuu (Jap styled) peoplz in a group... *meek smile* They're voice and personality types are just...I dunno... *shrugs*

To Sakura1118:
Just call me Kage. It's shorter than my screenname.
*laughs*
As for Celtic music, hmmm... Check out The Corrs' second album (I think); they have a track entitled "Toss the Feathers." That's an example of traditinal Celtic music, though Irish in nature (since "Celtic music" can apply to Scottish music as well). It'll be a bit harder to look for vocal tracks, since a lot of the Celtic music that I am familiar with is instrumental in nature, but there are examples of vocal singing too; they're just harder to find.
*sweatdrops*
And by the by...where in the world did you get the image for your signature? My best friend is mad about Sanada, and she would kill for that image...
To Eien:
*nods in quiet agreement*
It can be difficult to discern Kirihara's voice from Sengoku's, but I have kept something in mind that has really helped me out: whoever has the lower, less squeakier voice, is most likely Sengoku.
In Wonderful Days, I actually mistook Sengoku's voice for Kamio's.
*sweatdrops*
I knew that Kirihara, being the "youngest," would have a higher-pitched voice, but I wasn't so sure about Kamio and Sengoku. I got the mixed up initially, until one of my good friends corrected my mistake.

Kage-san: kk! I'll just call you that then!! ^^
So I was right...Celtic = Scottish (in my mind)... Hmm...yeah...they would sound nice there... *dreamy*
Easy: I'm Jap, and head over heels for Sanada-san! (Ask anybody who is on BC as well...) I was searching around on the net for Tenipuri Image Fan Sites and I came up with one. ^^ My sig was a bit bigger and got reduced, and I just pinted my screen name on it. ^w^
To Eien-chan & Kage-san: My tips & Rules I use: Kirihara: Has more of an attitude. It's half nasal sounds as well. Sengoku-san: Brighter, 'lighter' (personality wise). Kamio: Listen to the way he sings...he LOVES it... In other words: loud mouth...
A good way is try to sing with the same feeling and character. Kirihara: The sound is half nasal based and the mouth is stifly used Sengoku-san: KEEP SMILING Kamio: Wide mouth, sing as loudly as possible.
That's what I base it on. ^^

I doesn't need the tip for Sengoku already... since I keeps listening to his song... I kinda can find him in songs already...

To Sakura1118:
*nods head while smiling*
Yes, Celtic does equal to Scottish, but it also means Irish music too. In fact, if you went around in stores and asked for Celtic music, you might be more likely to get examples of Irish music rather than Scottish. Asking for bagpipe music, though, will most likely get you examples of Scottish music.
*sweatdrops*
And thank you very much for the tips! My best friend said more or less the same thing, though she said that Kamio's voice was a bit rougher around the edges, more "amateurish," as it were. And you're right: Kirihara's voice has an attitude (which is why I think he ought to sing more rock songs), while Sengoku's voice always has a "smile" in it.
Actually, when I feel bad, I listen to songs like "Wonderful Days" and "Trial of Luck," the latter being Sengoku's song. They really perk me up, and my best friend once said that listening to Sengoku sing when you're in a bad mood is like forcefully telling yourself that you have no right to angst.
*laughs*
To Eien:
*smiles*
Good for you that you can do that easily, but my best friend was really quick at it. She has perfect pitch, so she was able to distinguish who was who after listening to the song two or three times in a row. I, unfortunately, do not have such a gift, so I have to make-do with asking her and my other good friends for help.
*laughs*
