A melody instead of a bouquetShimizu Shota
He isn’t particularly known as a high-note singer, but Shota Shimizu also has an impressive upper register.
In his early days, when his tone resembled Aretha Franklin’s early sound, his falsetto tended to be breathy.
As his career progressed, his voice took on a more characteristically Japanese color, and his high notes became more stable.
This work showcases the beauty of Shimizu’s falsetto.
The final section, where he adds riffs while staying in falsetto, is difficult even for professional vocal coaches.
Heart Rainindigo la End
A heart-stirring ballad that quietly observes a bittersweet parting in love.
Its melody delicately captures subtle emotions, while the graceful sound of acoustic guitar and electric piano resonates deep within.
Released by indigo la End in February 2016, the song was featured as the TV commercial theme for the smartphone game ‘Shoumetsu Toshi’ and is also included on their second major-label album, ‘Aiiro Music.’ Told from the perspective of a woman reflecting on the end of a relationship, the lyrics leave a strong impression as they carefully express emotional shifts through the metaphor of rain.
It’s a song that stays close to your heart when you want to quietly accept the pain of heartbreak and move forward.

When singing it at karaoke and the like, be careful to keep the high notes from becoming too sharp or harsh.

Essential to this nuanced vocal expression is his incredibly appealing high tone! In addition to a chest voice rich in attractive high overtones, he skillfully employs mixed voice and falsetto to bring out the song’s beauty to the fullest.
It’s also an ideal practice piece for mixed voice and falsetto, so if you’re aiming to become a singer like him, be sure to use it as a reference.
