Yoshikazu Mera

Yoshikazu Mera (米良 美一 Mera Yoshikazu?) born May 21, 1971, in Miyazaki, Japan, is a Japanese countertenor. His range is three and a half octaves.
Originally wanting to become a pop singer, Mera now primarily sings classical music from the West but also classical Japanese music.[1] He appears frequently as a soloist with the Bach Collegium Japan, which under its conductor Masaaki Suzuki performs Baroque music. His 1998 recital disc «Nightingale» on Sweden’s BIS Records was a major success in Japan.
