Pretty much confirmed the English vocals are more or less spiritual successors to Leon and Lola as both are aimed at RnB. RnB is a genre that varied itself from the jazz genre and later both jaz and it evolved into the music genre of Soul music.

As I expected, Chris is the same vocal type as Leon in other words. Now Leon, if you filter out the V1 engine often has a similar tone to Yohioloid and Chris, meaning this is the 3rd time we've had sound alike vocals in English males.

This is the best example of Leon I know of wherein the engine was more or less impacting both Leon and Lola. Now bare in mind the electric elastic sound is the good old V1 engine, which you just can't get rid of even in Miriam, Kaito and Meiko. Listen to Leon and Lola and compare Amy and Chris. There is difference, but both pairs are the same voices almost.

Meanwhile Kaori and Ken are more general vocals and don't seem to be the match for Meiko and Kaito at all.
