And frankly that's unfortunate as he's 1 of the rare male solos out there right now still releasing music & let alone most of what he releases , he himself writes & composes

I don't know what the public consider him as his signature song though , probably Aishiteru ?

His other albums are also equally good but COLOURS is my fave outta what he released so far

I see, that's a little sad, but I do agree with him being a rare male solo.. At least off the top of my head in the pop realm, all of who I can really think of.. is him and Daichi Miura or Yuya Matsushita. (Though I don't listen to many Japanese male solos.)

COLOURS is my favorite release of his. NATURALLY was the hardest to get into, but it does have some stand out songs for me. When I think of Shota, I think of 'YOU & I' (Probably my favorite song from him)
