Interesting thing is the image of Shota is not part of his album cover but rather the slipcase cos as soon as I remove the slipcase , the front cover is a blank white canvas

This's interesting , Shota has wrote & composed a song for V6 :O

Shota created Right Now which will be released alongside Super Powers , as part of V6's upcoming 50th single Super Powers / Right Now

https://www.johnnys-net.jp/page?id=d...180&lang=en_us

Interesting , Shota has never worked on something for a Johnny so wonder how this came about ? o_o

KarenPang 30th November 2018 11:47 PM

Right Now which Shota created for V6 is described as a mature love song with a sexy dance number

After such a long time I wanted to check out his newer stuff and I started listening to his album White. after the first three tracks I'm kinda dissaponted. The songs aren't bad but I'm used to hear his actual voice and not a distorted version of his voice. I used to be a huge fan og him and back I'm the day Í bought everyone release bitte I couldn't anymore and wan't able to check out his new releases as often. So the shock was real after I remember songs like Rainy Day Morning,Kimi ga Suki, Sakura and so on.
Are everyone Song on White in the style of the First two Tracks? Maybe Í need someone more tries to get used to him using this new style in His music

KarenPang 20th December 2018 09:31 AM

Good Life & Friday were released as singles prior to WHITE

The only WHITE album track I genuinely can say I like is Beautiful . I would also say Range Rover too , provided that it wasn't so short & the last part of the song kinda kill things for me :x

I listen to Shota for more than 10 years . Back then I didn't like it that he focus more on rapping (1 of the reasons why I didn't want to listen to his debut album Umbrella) but Aishiteru & My Treasure were and are still some really good singles of him

Since 2015 , Shota focus more on rapping & autotune and his most recent single I really like is Hanataba no Kawari ni Melody wo cos it showcase how good he's vocally

The rest , definitely not which's a real shame

Until Shota stopped overusing autotune , I would just go back & listen to his older albums which're still some of my favourites , like COLOURS & ENCORE

KarenPang 16th January 2019 02:55 PM

Shota tweeted his comments towards Right Now , the song he contributed for V6

Quote:

おはようございます。体重計乗ってドン引きしました。頑張ります。今日はV6さんのシングル発売日ですね! 「Right Now」沢山の反響あり嬉しい限りです。聴いてみて下さいね😁

Ditto on that . It has been years since Shota last put out autotune free material

And I thought Shota rapping was bad which was 1 of the reasons I did not listen to Umbrella

Suddenly that ain't so bad as compared to autotune overload , since early 2015 & counting

Wow at long last , a Shota song that has NO autotune

From the Realsoumd interview Shota did , he actually created 416 last Oct but he didn't put the finishing touches to the song until last month

Also , Shota said milk tea from his FLY album was a very popular song with his fans & is an important song to him

416 brings back to what Shota does best & for the 1st time in a very long time , I can safely say I like 416 cos it reminds me of why I like Shota to begin with

Great choice & as far as I know , this's the 1st time Shota's song been covered by someone , not counting Dear My Boo , the answer song that Touyama Mirei did in response to My Boo , let alone SPICY CHOCOLATE's I miss you

I somewhat wish Miliyah would have covered other great older songs of Shota's like Aishiteru , YOU & I but no complaints on Hanataba no Kawari ni Melody wo

Hanataba no Kawari ni Melody wo (THE FIRST TAKE)

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E3lxrATV...jpg&name=small



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB1RxBrwolo

Quote:

THE FIRST TAKE is a YouTube Channel dedicated to shooting musicians and singers performing in a single take.

ONE TAKE ONLY, ONE LIFE ONLY.

Episode 126 welcomes the singer song writer, Shota Shimizu. A trend setter for the Japanese music scene who composes, writes, and arranges his songs.

1 TAKE performance of “Hanataba No Kawari Ni Melody Wo” a love song at his best released in 2015.

Performing the song loved by people of all ages, in a special arrangement simply with the piano and the soulful vocal, in one take only for THE FIRST TAKE.
This's proof why Shota doesn't need any auto tune to conceal his voice & why I've supported him for more than a decade

And I'm not surprised his BFF Miliyah covered Hanataba no Kawari ni Melody wo in her covers album either

thinkingoutloud89 11th June 2021 08:37 PM

^you know that "concealing" is not the main reason autotune is used right?
It can very well be an artistic choice to get a certain sound. It's okay not to like it, but I feel overtime I come here someone is complaining about it. It's quite tiresome.
Maybe just stop listening to him then and/or enjoy his older work?
