damn 1st thing that popped into my mind when I saw the album title Naturally - Matsushita Yuya

you don't think Shota got inspiration for his latest album title from his BFF ? xD

anyway I'm excited to get Naturally when it drops on 21st March but I don't think it will sound as amazing as COLOURS :x

Hopefully I will be proven wrong on that :O

What Shota said about Naturally

“I wanted to investigate my abilities in a more natural way. I want people to listen and feel me and the music facing each other.”

yay..album
although i feel that there is no big hit..to support it

[haraiso]

^^ First thing I thought of was Yuya's single as well lol.

I think the album will be alright. I just wish he didn't choose to stick 君さえいれば on the album. I keep listening to it, hoping that I'll like it over time, but I guess it's just not my cup of tea. Any of the B-sides from this era would've been more than sufficient as a replacement tbh.

Anyways, he's announced the dates for the Naturally Tour. 18 total.

And here's a bigger cover as well:

Spoiler:

[AyuGAME]

the cover -_-
no concept at all..
hmm..ok...the concept is naturally..but.. -_-
Sony being so cheap with their artist lately

YesAsia's description of Naturally

With one album and four singles, 2011 was the most prolific year in R&B singer Shimizu Shota's career. Now, Shimizu wraps up his those accomplishments with his fourth full-length album Naturally. From singles Mada Owaranai, love, and Kimi sae Ireba (a collaboration with Oda Kazuamasu), fans can hear the maturation of a great r&b musician in Naturally.

[AyuGAME]

i think this is his weakest...let see the sales...

[KarenPang]

are you sure ? guess you didn't listen to his debut album Umbrella which was so painful for me to listen it wasn't funny at all

Shota will be performing The Day next Mon night at Coming Soon!!
