This was taken after Shota did his exclusive premium talk show for TSUTAYA

was his styling done by Miliyah again?

^ Miliyah, AI, Thelma and Shota all have the same terrible fashion lol idk why they think their clothes look good tbh lol

Yay for new Shota single but is it me or he looks really goofy in the promo pictures ? they don't match theme of his new single at all :x

Shota Shimizu Announces New Single "Damage"

http://www.jpopasia.com/news/shota-s...ge::18906.html

I think he looks cool in the promo pictures but the font of "Damage" on the cover looks cheap and kinda like the standard-font that western-movies (the ones with cowboys in the wild west not generally western) have on the DVDs and promo posters lol

Damage is ready for preorder

Surprised to see Miliyah in the Damage PV but she lip synched to the song and didn't actually sang Damage unlike what she did with Shota in past collaborations of his

Song wise , Damage is oddly upbeat with autotune

I was surprised at the picture of shinjiro and shota cause they were the same height lol i never noticed shinjiro was that short

I do hope this means Shota will release a new studio album this year . ENCORE was great :O

Damage PV has been uploaded on JPopSuki TV

http://www.jpopsuki.tv/video/Shota-S...a19a05e0e079a2

The promo shots are so much better than the single cover. Nice seeing Miliyah with Shota even if it is just for the P/V.

The song isn't bad, but the autotune kind of ruins it. It is the strangest during the chorus.

Damage is already available on iTunes Japan

YesAsia's description of Damage

http://www.yesasia.com/global/damage...0-en/info.html

Damage 1st day position - #18

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/2016-02-16/p/2/

The single itself is not bad . sonomama feels like an extension from Damage while Hanataba no Kawari ni Melody wo ~Piano Version~ is very nice

I have a feeling Shota will release a new album before May since he will embark on a new tour from May onwards

6th album PROUD will be released on 30th March
