Every time he has a new release, I always have hope that I won't hear any autotune when I press play.

...and every time I am disappointed lol.

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

Shota will release a new digital song Breathe Again next Wed

Breathe Again digital cover



Barks wrote that Breathe Again will be a Summer tune that has a tropical house influence

https://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000170653
http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/artist/sh...zu/info/509491

Not having high hopes about Breathe Again but if for once there's no auto tune in the song , I will be shocked , in a good way

Shota will be featured on 16th Nov's episode of MUSIC FAIR

2019.11.16(土)

テレビ

フジテレビ 「MUSIC FAIR」(18:00~ 18:30)
MUSIC FAIR槇原敬之30周年イヤーSPに出演決定!
槇原敬之さん、さかいゆうさんと共にコラボ歌唱致します!

番組公式HPはこちら
https://www.fujitv.co.jp/MUSICFAIR/

http://www.sonymusic.co.jp/artist/shotashimizu/media/

Been quite a long time since Shota last did any form of TV promo

I will not be surprised if 16th Nov's MUSIC FAIR episode Shota will mainly sing cover songs by Makihara Noriyuki

Let alone that episode is to celebrate Makihara Noriyuki's 30th anniversary in the business too

2nd 416 promo picture



https://realsound.jp/2020/04/post-538924.html

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

Oh wow. This definitely is the best song he's released in what feels like forever. The simple fact that it's not ruined by any autotune...



Really nice MV as well.

Kato Miliyah will release her new cover album COVERS -WOMAN & MAN- on 25th Nov

COVERS -WOMAN & MAN- will have 2 discs , 1st disc comprises of female cover songs while the 2nd disc includes male cover songs

Miliyah has covered Shota's Hanataba no Kawari ni Melody wo

https://natalie.mu/music/news/402945

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://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

^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?

9th album HOPE will be released on 21st July

Shota's last studio album release was 2018's WHITE & HOPE is described as the 3rd chapter of Shota's career

CD



CD + DVD



https://twitter.com/SHOTA_MOBILE/sta...03295123714051
https://www.sonymusic.co.jp/artist/s...zu/info/530180

More details on HOPE will be released soon

No pun intended but I hope at least Shota's new album will be decent

His last 3 studio albums were meh

Koi Uta is more or less confirmed will be in HOPE & if the other songs will be like that , I do not mind
