Lantis announced today that 28-year-old voice actor Koutaro Nishiyama will make his solo singer debut with his six-song first mini-album “CITY” this fall, posting a five-minute full music for the album’s lead track “Mahirudoki no Stella” (Stella at the Midday) on its official YouTube channel. The song is written by Pon (ORESAMA vocalist) and composed/arranged by Keita Miyoshi, known for his works for The [email protected] SideM, Ensemble Stars!, Project Tokyo Dolls, and PreCure series.
Nishiyama won the Special Prize in the third 81 Audition and entered the major voice actor agency 81 Produce’s training school in 2009. He made his professional voice acting debut two years later, and is known for his portrayals of Atsushi Kinugawa in Cute High Earth Defense Club Love! (2015-2016), Kanata Shinkai in Ensemble Stars! (2015-2020), Yoshiharu Hisomu in Kiznaiver (2016), Yuzuki Teramitsu in B-Project: Zecchou Emotion, and Hikaru Sato in the ongoing Major 2nd (2018-2020).
While he has sung many character songs for various franchises, this is the first time that he has released an original solo album under his own name.
