Kpop: Heize (헤이즈)

Heize was a semi-finalist in the latest season of korean Unpretty Rapstar, where female rappers battle it out, and it was probably just a quastion of time before she got som solo succes and I think with what the two singles so far has shown it should come true. I hope her not being part of a group shouldn't be to big a disadvantage. As many other contestants, outside the hiphop competition she sings mostly non-rap songs, Heize going for the soulful and it seems to suit her, and she and Dean really seems to have something going musically.

• Heize ft Dean, DJ Fritz - And July
• Heize ft Dean - Shut Up & Groove

Jpop: Piko (ピコ/両声類)

Piko has been acclaimed in Japan for having a voice which isnt decidedly male or female, and he has the looks to match it. He is what we would call androgynous,and the fans call him 両声類, which means "both kinds of voice". Interestingly enough he has also lent his voice to the Vocaloid (the Utatane Piko).

• Piko - Tears In
• Piko - Nisokuhokou (here his duality is easy to detect)
• Piko - Sakurane
• Piko - Make My Day! 
• Piko - Story
• Piko - Emiiro Refrain
