Beloved Ellie / Shota Shimizu ver.

Shota Shimizu is a Japanese singer-songwriter.

He tends to leave an impression with gentle, upbeat songs.

I feel that one of his strengths is singing effortlessly and refreshingly.

However, in “Itoshi no Ellie,” you can feel a powerful, passionate love.

The swelling excitement as it builds toward the chorus is irresistible.

A one-sided love that grows stronger stirs up jealousy and endearing feelings, making the heart race.

It makes you want to pour out the feeling that you love them most, and the desire to be together forever keeps getting bigger.

It’s a bittersweet song that conveys the fluttering nerves of wanting to confess but not knowing what to do.
