Akira Takano is a vocalist who got his start with the popular five-member co-ed idol group Dream5 back in 2009, but has then broke out on his own after the group dissolved back in 2016. While he initially started his solo work with various amounts of stage play work throughout the years, Takano would then return to the music industry back in 2019. Taking what he learned from his time off, Takano brings solid vocal work and style that he wasn’t able to bring before hand. Nothing takes that example to a head like “New Direction” and “tiny lady”, while not being all changing for a solo male pop artist field, the work shows off he has matured as a vocalist. Takano also mixes it up with several emotional pack tracks such as “You’ve broken my heart”, and while it’s a bit more of a mid-tempo style of compositions, it really proves that with a bit of a push he can handle any type of work that can come his way. His biggest vocal improvement was shown back during his re-debut year of 2019 with the song “Can’t Keep it Cool”, an out of this world performance that needs to be heard to be believed. 

Akira Takano has only one album titled ENTER that released back in March of 2021, along with five singles and a digital single with the latest being “Vacances” back in August.
