Hikaru Midorikawa is also a J-Pop artist and was a member in several bands including Zero Phoenix and E.M.U. (Entertainment Music Unit) from the mid 1990s until the early 2000s. E.M.U. was formed by five voice actors from the radio drama Sotsugyou M (Male Graduation). The other members are Nobutoshi Canna (previously Hayashi), Ryōtarō Okiayu, Hideo Ishikawa, and Daisuke Sakaguchi. During their run from 1995 to 2000, the group released 8 CDs and four singles. Shortly before E.M.U. disbanded, Hikaru Midorikawa joined his fellow voice actor and friend, Nobutoshi Canna, to create a new group, Zero Phoenix. The duo released one CD, titled "Kirameki".
His voice ranges between E2 and A4 (slightly B4). While singing, he ranges between C or D.[1]
Hikaru Midorikawa manages his own blog and is an avid gamer. He is a big fan of Super Robot Wars, having a blog entry on the SRW site; he is one of a few people to have a blog on Banpresto's "Supalog" website. As an SRW fan, Midorikawa does extra lines for his characters for free and sometimes acts as a beta tester for new games in the franchise. Usually the characters he is cast to play turn into one-man armies, namely Heero and Masaki in Super Robot Wars and Xingke in Code Geass.
