I have extra copies of Nobutoshi Canna (formerly Hayashi) CDs available. He is the seiyuu of Tasuki from "Fushigi Yuugi", Midou Ban from "Get Backers", Ryo Takatsuki in "Project Arms", Guts from "Berserk", Basara Nekki in "Macross 7" (though not his singing voice), Parn in "Lodoss Wars" et cetera... I'm asking $15 usd each. Last I knew these were all out of print.
Drive
Nobutoshi's first solo venture was this album, which was produced by himself. Drive is an excellent album if you are looking for a variable sound quality in his songs. Rock and roll is, of course, the predominate music, but there are also slower love songs (enchanting to hear with his voice!) and more lighter r&r with some quirky guitar notes. It also features two segements from LIPPERS, which was Nobutoshi'd first musical Unit, alongside Tanaka Kazunari. Released originally 04/05/95.
Tracks:
[1] Hey Hey Hey**
[2] mikazuki no fune **
[3] I Love Susie x LIPPERS Studio Live Talk**
[4] LAST ORDER x LIPPERS Studio Live Talk
[5] ai o makimodoshite
[6] Happy Birthday**

Second album release! Such an incrediable album!! I am a firm believer that every CD collection should own at least one Nobutoshi album, and this is an awesome one to go with! His best, I think! A definite r&r sound, very fast and energetic! He performed two songs live at the event "Voice Festival to 2000"..."Stay Cool" and "Craziest Rock n' Roll Show", which was awesome to see! Released 05/ 25/ 97.
Tracks:
[1] kotoba no nai kuni de
[2] saikÅ
If you were going to buy a full CD of E.M.U this is the one I would get. (I think as a Unit they had better songs released as Singles during their time together). It's more exciting than the stuff released under Grad. M, but still maintains the "boy band sound", and all the tracks could pass as Character Image Songs...well, not Nobutoshi's.
