Shota Shimizu’s iconic and popular songs (11–20)
TokyoShimizu Shota
These are karaoke songs by Shota Shimizu—who has earned popularity with his outstanding vocal skills and a style rooted in R&B and ballads—that are recommended for high school students.
The melodies are easy to follow, making it easier to score high.
More than friendsShimizu Shota
This song, sung by singer-songwriter Shota Shimizu, tells the story of a one-sided love set in summer.
As the title “More than friends” suggests, the boy in the lyrics has fallen for a girl who’s his friend.
They’re very close and naturally spend a lot of time together, but he’s the only one who’s aware of her as the opposite sex.
That’s why being together makes his chest ache, and even if he wants to confess his feelings, he doesn’t think he can express them well.
It’s a heartbreakingly helpless kind of love that really hits home.
I imagine quite a few people struggled with something similar back in their school days.
A melody instead of a bouquetShimizu Shota
A warm ballad that’s quintessentially Shota Shimizu.
Its melody, carried by his assured vocal skill, resonates deep in the heart.
This romantic number is about giving the person you love a gift—the thing you cherish most: your “song.” It sets a gently intimate mood.
416Shimizu Shota
A bittersweet number that captures the feelings of a man with an unrequited crush.
The moment you fall in love is blissful, but when things don’t go well, the painful moments start to pile up.
In this song, the protagonist is a shy man who lacks confidence and can’t bring himself to confess his feelings to the girl he likes.
The music video shows the two on a date, but she fiddles with her phone and the conversation doesn’t take off; the man, who started with a smile, gradually looks more and more downcast…
It’s a ballad filled with the bittersweet emotions anyone in love has felt at least once.
Many listeners will probably relate.
PrincessShimizu Shota
This song expresses the feelings of a man who can’t forget his former lover, and it’s included on Shota Shimizu’s mini-album “period,” released in November 2020.
The meanings of the aster’s flower language that appear in the lyrics are “recollection,” “I won’t forget you,” and “thinking of someone far away.” With the title being “Princess,” you can feel that this man still cherishes his former lover.
If this song had an after-story, I can’t help but hope it would lead to a happy ending.
Side DishShimizu Shota
A master of R&B weaves a tale of forbidden love.
This track from Shota Shimizu brims with deep emotion and inner conflict.
With its refined melody and comfortable groove, it portrays lingering attachments and complex feelings from past romances and relationships.
Included on the July 2021 album “HOPE,” it earned high praise from fans.
Later, in May 2023, a lyric video featuring actress Ryoka Orita was released, capturing many hearts with its moving lyrics and Shimizu’s delicate vocals.
Highly recommended for those experiencing the pain of love or looking to let their emotions out.

SorryShimizu Shota
As for the characteristics of modern Japanese male R&B singers, while they may not boast the superhuman power and range of their American counterparts, they tend to focus on softer vocal expression and deliver songs that feel approachable to the general listener—and I think Shota Matsuda is one of them.
His slightly androgynous, gentle voice will surely capture the hearts of many.
Of course, his masterful use of mixed voice—a must-have skill for singers in this genre today—and his clean vocal production are impeccable.
On top of that, depending on the song, he actively incorporates pitch-correction techniques, mixing in that intentionally ‘cherpy’ autotune-like effect, which is a very on-trend touch.
