not much of shela still up at youtube, but most people remember her for her themed releases (colors, and florals) or her HEY! HEY! HEY! ending theme "19RED"



music station live (2000.05.12)


and of course my all time favorite song, sepia


music station live (2001.05.04)

Sounds good, she has a nice voice. I'm curious how her voice has changed since then.

yeah it looks like her set of best albums were her last avex release, at least they finally released them

this single is being released through Rosso RECORDS, never heard of them. probably the only shela release we'll ever see again.

Shela's back! I missed her Sepia was an old favorite of mine. I have a lot of her songs somewhere, so I'll share once I do dig them up.

Now I'm just waiting for Yuki Kimura, HAL (with Halna), Rina Chinen, and Lucifer to come back! Oh please please please.

Oh! Shela's back! Yay! But wait....so you can only get it at certain places? Dude...

I really liked her music way back when, especially the ones you posted like "19 Red" and "Sepia."

She's such a good singer, the cover is not-that great, I'm more excited to hear these new songs. Thanks for posting the info!

I listened to "sepia" for the first time yesterday, and I really like it! The song gives me an Ayu vibe for some reason, lol.

I like the traditional Japanese sounds in the song.

I was like, "who...?" until the comment about her color-themed releases. I remember her! I never really got into her music, but I always liked what I heard.

That cover looks like a bad forum signature, though.

Edit: lol, I had no idea this was a zombie thread.
