Most control in singing

To me, it just has to be Ohno. He has the sweetest voice you could listen to and he always has the best solos within the group. This is probably why he is the lead singer and on top of that (as I've read), the other members all agree that he has a really great voice. GO OHNO! clapping

Ohno. He's got a really powerful voice and he can control it very well, methinks. big grin

I think that Ohno has the best voice. He has the most control and always sounds good. however, theres something about Aiba's breathy voice that sounds soo good too, especially in the song right back to you.

My vote goes to Oh-chan. Aside from him being my ichiban. you've got to admit. he's really good, ne?

That is, after all, why he's my ichiban. big grin

anyway. my opinions on everyone in Arashi big grin

as for Nino. i love his voice, but it tends to go off-key due to his control in breathing.

Sho, isreally good, but i rather have him in rapping, but i like him in ballads too... sometimes.

Aiba, i love his voice big grin

ive never heard him go off-key...

MatsuJun. He tends to get really tired. and goes off key, and he sings nasal-ly... no offense..

I pretty much agree with you. :3 Ohno hs the best control of his tone, breathing, and range... pitch... vibrato... this kid has it all, his voice kills me every time...
I agree with you about Nino too... I'm not always crazy about his style of vibrato, but his range is impressive!

and as for Sho, I think he has the potential (almost, *almost* realized) for a really powerful voice... but he, too, needs to work to work on his breath control a bit. He's got a bit of a breathy quality, which I like to an extent, but it might be easier for him if he'd work on making it a *bit* clearer. He is able (I think due to his work rapping) to connect certain types of phrases really, really smoothly, if they're in the same pitch range. When it comes to connecting phrases and navigating tricky intervals and such at the same time, he seems to lose that...

I used to think Aiba's voice was a bit too breathy but it doesn't bother me at all now... I've heard a few live song in the past where it really sounded harsh, but lately it doesn't, at all, and I personally really like his breathy tone. Somehow, despite the breathiness, I don't really notice much of a problem with connecting phrases, or of course going off-key. I'm pretty sure Aiba does a majority of the falsetto stuff, actually... I <3 his falsetto, ahaha, it's so cute. <3 I'm a sucker for falsetto.

Matsujun has made great strides in his voice of late. I think his biggest issues though have been that trademark nasally tone - it's good to an extent, it's 'his sound' but he has overdone it times - and not by intention I don't think - and breath control!! I that's the biggest issue for him in lives (though I certainly don't fault him for it considering all the dancing he's doing at the time). I think if he would continue to work on not pushing the tone so much, supporting the breath a little more, and using more of his resonators besides just his nasal cavity... ie, 'opening up' the sound a little bit - he would be excellent. And of course he's made a lot of progress on this, so I hope to see it continue!

...bear in mind this is just my technical analysis. I'm not an expert and you of COURSE may disagree with me... and I'm also not saying there's really anything 'wrong' with them. Besides, your personal favorite sound is your personal favorite whatever I think... don't let me dampen your style!

Oh-chan for sure.

i guess,everyone will agree to this fact,that ohno really has a very good quality of singing voice...
you could also notice these things in their concerts... cause,when live.. sho and jun tend to off-key... unlike,ohno.. a really good singer at all times... hehe..

though i also like nino's cute voice... i think,in a mature way,ohno is way better than him... and no one among the group,i guess.. could beat that fact.... Wohoo!

Ono, for sure!
He's one of my favourite vocalist ever Heart

He's got a really beautiful voice, he can control it and he just got talent!

I vote for Ohno, no doubt he has the talent. All that butais he did weren't for show. I believe theater build his stamina to sing and act.

My second place is for Aiba. He has unique voice which is suitable for song like namida no nagereboshi. Good control, too. I Heart

his performances for AAA in Dome.

....he does his best in every song.

definitely Ohno!!

he has the control and power, and for me he has the best voice too!! Heart

I also think that Aiba and Sho has a pretty good control and power, though... especially Aiba... when it comes to sing the low keys, I think Aiba's voice is the best
and Sho's always the best at rap (and he's obviously improving)

I actually loves Nino's voice (when he's not singing), but I've heard him off keys...

MatsuJun have a weird voice, like it comes out from the nose... it can be cute, but not for singing... and he off keys quite a lot too... ^^

Ohno most definitely. He always delivers and has the best singing ability.

Aiba though is my favorite because of his unique voice. Though at first I wasn't particularly fond of it, now I just love it to pieces! The sound of his voice may throw it off but he actually does have good control.

No doubt about it... definitely Oh-chan! Just listen to the way he blows out those solos... mesmerizing. I love his intro in Kotoba Yori mo Taisetsuna mono... Kiiritoota merodii kurikaeshita wasurenai yo ni... clapping

Definitely Ohno. Hits the right note, the right pitch, at the right time and you can't really hear him panting despite his super energetic dancing.

Superb control. Superb voice. WHOO!
in love
