Shota Shimizu “Syrup” MV

Shota Shimizu’s new song “Syrup.” Shimizu is known for his music that prominently incorporates authentic R&B, and while this track retains those elements, it’s shaped into a lighter, more modern R&B style.

He isn’t necessarily a low-voiced artist, but since most of this song sits in the mid-to-low range, it should really showcase the appeal of male singers with lower voices.

It’s also recommended to intentionally lower the key to emphasize the low end even more.

A melody instead of a bouquetShimizu Shota

Shota Shimizu 'A Melody Instead of a Bouquet' MV (Full Size)

It’s Shota Shimizu’s 20th single overall, released in October 2015.

It was the theme song for the NHK General TV drama “Designer Baby – Detective Hayami’s Tough Case Before Maternity Leave.” Shota Shimizu, who sings this, has a voice rich in high overtones, so some people might think just from hearing it, “Can you really aim for a high score with this?” But there’s no need to worry! The vocal melody itself doesn’t use a particularly high range, so if you actually try singing it, many people will probably find it easy.

If you want to aim for a high score, study the singer’s subtle phrasing throughout the song and give it a try.

Curtain Call feat.TakaShimizu Shota

Shota Shimizu “Curtain Call feat. Taka” MV

A song by singer-songwriter Shota Shimizu, whose talent had been the talk of the town since his debut—he took part in a tribute album for the world-renowned diva Céline Dion and even appeared as a guest at Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater in New York.

It also became a hot topic as a collaboration with ONE OK ROCK’s vocalist Taka, and it’s a track where you can discover a different side to Taka, who usually sings rock.

It’s a cool song whether you sing it solo at karaoke or practice with a friend and perform it as a duo, but both approaches require advanced vocal technique.

Especially when singing as a pair, be mindful of synchronizing your breathing so the balance doesn’t fall apart.

Shota Shimizu “FIRE” Short Ver.

A cool song by the hugely popular musician Shota Shimizu.

For the regular parts of the song, the key seems to be singing with full-on swagger.

The real highlight, though, is the rap section.

How well you deliver that rap will determine whether it sounds cool or not.

It’s a song you could practically practice just the rap for.

If you sing it in front of that girl you’ve got your eye on, she’s sure to be smitten.
