KMji Wada (born January 29, 1974 in Kyoto, Japan) is a Japanese rock singer, best known for his work in the Digimon series. He first debuted in 1999 with his first single "Butter-Fly". He's currently under the NEC Avenue recording label.
Fame
Wada sang the opening themes for the five seasons of Digimon, as well as the first evolution theme for Digimon Frontier, "With the Will". He also performed the two ending themes of Frontier, "Innocent ~Mujaki na Mama de~" and "an Endless Tale" (with AiM). He starred in various other Digimon songs, such as "Bokura no Digital World" (the "memorial" theme for the Adventure series), "Yuuki o Uketsugu Kodomotachi e" (a song starring all the singers in Digimon, including AiM, Ayumi Miyazaki, Michihiko Ohta, etc.) and several Christmas songs.
In 2003, Wada released his first original album, All of My Mind, which included some songs from Digimon Adventure, Adventure 02 and Tamers and the Opening Theme for Transformers: Car Robots. He also collaborated in Ohta Michihiko's self-cover album Mirai e no Message ~Ohta Michihiko Self-Cover~, featuring in two tracks - a cover version of "Hontou no Tsuyosa" (Ken & Wormmon's Theme) and in "3 Primary Colors" (the Tamers' theme), along with AiM. Most recently, he has released an album called The Best Selection ~Welcome Back!~. It contains several of his earlier works as well as two new songs, titled "Pierce" and "Kimi no Keshiki." On August 1, 2008, he debuted a mini-album titled ever, which contained five brand new songs.
Wada returned to the Digimon franchise to sing the second opening theme for the fifth series, Digimon Savers. The song is entitled "Hirari" ("Nimbly; Lightly")
International appearances
In July 2007, Wada made his first show in Brazil, doing a solo presentation and singing along others invited Japanese singers on the "Anime Friends". This happened one year after Ayumi Miyazaki visited Brazil in another convention "ExpoAnime Brasil". He also visited the state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil in October 14 2007, during the Anima Weekend event. In December 15-16th 2007, he made a live presentation in the "Anime Festival XL" event in Santiago, Chile. In August 2008, he released a mini-album named "ever", which contains five original songs, with four of them composed and written by himself. In December 2008 he was performing in the "Animeku 08" in Argentina.
