Kobukuro Kentaro Kobuchi is moved to tears by a live singer who looks exactly like Shunsuke Kuroda! "It's beyond resemblance, it's impressive."

■In the second part of the video, a singer who looks exactly like Kobukuro sings “Sakura”, “Akai Ito”, and “To calling of love” on the guitar played by Kentaro Obuchi!

Kobukuro has released a collaboration video with Shunsuke Kuroda’s singing voice lookalike on his official YouTube. People are talking about how similar they are and how touching they are.

In this video, the person whose singing voice is just like Kuroda’s is Yudai Sonobe, a salesman living in Hokkaido.

Kobukuro’s staff happened to discover Sonobe’s singing video on SNS, and when he showed it to Kentaro Obuchi, he was amazed at how much it looked like him. Staff tried to contact him, but were unable to get through. After that, Obuchi, who could not give up, asked for advice, and the staff persistently continued to contact him, and this time, after four years, their long-awaited co-starring came true.

The video was released in the first and second parts, and in the first part, Sonobe performed a live performance of Kobukuro’s song “Sotsutsu”. When Obuchi heard Sonobe’s live singing voice for the first time, he couldn’t help but get goosebumps and shed tears. “The only thing we don’t look like is our height,” and “I’m so moved that it goes beyond saying we look alike.” A tour staff member who knew Kobukuro well heard the singing voice that could be heard in the hallway, and said, “Isn’t that Kuroda-kun?” He showed a surprising resemblance to his singing voice.

In the second part, Kobukuro’s “Sakura”, “Akai Ito”, and “To calling of love” are sung along with Obuchi’s guitar.

Mr. Sonobe, a genuine Kobukuro fan who has been listening to Kobukuro since he was 2 years old, was overwhelmed with emotion, saying, “It was fun. I still can’t believe it and am filled with joy.”

Comments included, “Not only do they look alike, but I’m impressed by the way they sing and the lyrics are so soulful,” and “I’ve seen many people imitate Kuroda, but from the fans’ perspective, they don’t look like each other at all.” I’ve always thought, “Oh no!”, but this person is amazing!”
