Suemitsu & The Suemith ~ Shock On The Piano
Release Date Mar 19, 2008
Kioon Records
Genre: Speed Pop (piano)

Actually he's new to me too. But hey... he's rock!! His music style is there's piano sound on the background (sounds like Younha indeed), accompanied by a band, and what the speed!!!
I think this will become one of my favourite artist...
A Highly Recommended one ^^

Latest album by Piano-Pop-Orchestral project SUEMITSU & THE SUEMITH!
Weee~ finally, that awesome piano player with the rapid-fire but smooth vocals is back once again with his second major album! Guess he is rather popular around here when i have a look at the completed count of the last two albums that I've posted here. Great to see that and no wonder at all since man, that guy rocks.
I still stick with my "male Younha" definition, even if its a bit odd and may not be that fitting after all. xD
But still, its fun and i like that guy almost as much as Younha. :>
His music style sure is a bit different, mixing lots of different styles in here together with the piano sound...
like rock, some orchestral parts and pop here and there. But all in all a great mix and that with some unique singing.
