Koshi is an amazing, stunning performer, he has a wonderful voice with a mood range from hissing wind, to storm, to deep velvet, his soul shines in all the colours of the rainbow, from the brightest white to the darkest purple, and he drags you along in his own journey like no other.
With plus the body of a panther, and boiling sexy moves on stage, no wonder he has sold more than 80 million records with B'z and solo works! Inaba #1 ever on the planet! No Axl Rose can compete, sorry, love you too bro, but Inaba is the greatest in History!

I think that his voice is amazing, versatile and also he's so sexy. I really B'z & Koshi.

Koshi is the best! He has a voice that reaches the heart. Plus he's so damn adorable and sexy!
