Furukawa Honpo, the solo unit of Vocaloid-style producer Furukawa P, has a first album coming that will feature various vocalists. While most seems to have a standard J-pop tone, there are tracks sung by Nomiya Maki and Kahimi Karie (both funnily singing different versions of the same song, "Piano Lesson") that can hardly be ignored. Check out the sample clip below (Kahimi's song is first, and Maki's is last).
