I've heard just two albums by Hiroshi Watanabe (both of his dance albums released under Kaito moniker), and I plan to give Genesis a chance (although by the samples it sounds very similar to Kaito material). As for the genre, as some already said, it's a quite unique mixture of deep melodic techno and techy house, that sometimes inclines towards trance (proof: Intension off Special Life). It's interesting that when neo-trance label appeared, Kaito was one of the few names that were always seen as a leaders of that new movement.

And Yagya sounds like first Gas album, he's quite overrated (although still very good).

I'm not really a big fan of Kaito, most of his stuff is rather boring IMO, but that Yagya fellow sure can make decent music. I sampled the whole rigning album and it sounds absolutely brilliant!

Massive fan of Hiroshi Watanabe / Kaito.

The Japanese deep tech house sound has really taken off these last couple of years and I hope we get to hear more.

Kaito has a new album coming out in a few weeks called "TRUST".

And for those who are new to Kaito, have a listen to "A Moment for the Life" - a nice introduction to most of his known works in a set mixed by the man himself.

Always liked what I had heard from him, most recently he had an EP on Kompakt a year or two ago. Yagya is good stuff too.
