The new hot countertenor seems to be Yoshikazu Mera from Japan.  He has a
number of CDs out on the BIS label singing anything from classical works to
Japanese traditional stuff.  I think he also joins Masaaki Suzuki and the
Japan Bach Collegium on some of the BIS Bach Cantata cycle.

This guy's voice is unreal.  And I'm not a big countertenor fan per se.
