Tetsuro Morita
 I knew of Morita-san through his connections with Yoshiki Fukuyama, but it wasn't until I heard a fan recording of him singing one of his own songs that I really been to appreciate his talent. His clear rich voice and his smooth folk-rock style melodies put him up in a league with the best.
