Aoyama Thelma unleashes short PV for 'stay feat. Shimizu Shota'



Aoyama Thelma has unleashed the short PV for her song "stay feat. Shimizu Shota" which will be included in her mini-album "GRAY SMOKE" to be released on September 16.

"stay feat. Shimizu Shota" is a ballad number with sex appeal oozing out of the lyrics and the singers' voices. Regarding the song, Aoyama stated, "Because I was collaborating with Shimizu Shota-san, I wanted to make it a song that would reverberate our voices. I think it's a song that unites everything, including our peculiar voices, and simple yet dramatic sounds."

Meanwhile, Shimizu said, "We created this song aiming for it to be the top ballad. Thelma-san is also good at singing the low keys, so I was able to produce this song no different from my own songs."

The concept of "GRAY SMOKE" is Thelma's image of "man". As such, she only collaborated with male artists. Besides Shimizu, she worked with ANARCHY, SWAY (DOBERMAN INFINITY), and Furuya Kenji (Dragon Ash).

I've known of Aoyama Thelma, but never really looked into her body of work, but that song is really nice! Looking forward to hearing the full version. The beginning of the clip it reminded me too much of a Rihanna music video LOL

[KarenPang]

I've been a fan of both of them for a while now & it was exciting when they announced they're going to put out something together

So far , the preview of stay sounds good . Looking forward to hear the entire song in due time as they sound in synch

Aside from Shota's upcoming new single that's

This person is so lucky to get serenaded by Shota onstage yesterday :O

[jean-baptiste]

The girl that's getting serenaded looks like she's sitting on a toilet lol.

I absolutely love the stage set-up. It's very simple and intimate, but the gothic church aesthetic is wonderful.

Ahaha yeah I thought so when I 1st saw the photo then I realised it looks like a big bar stool chair

I think the last date of his tour was recorded although I'm not sure as the 2nd last date of the tour it was held at Nippon Budokan

Well just have to wait for an announcement for a DVD/Blu-ray of his 2015 tour in due time & I don't think Shota is the flashy sort of personnel who needs so many props to do a concert onstage

He just need the bare essentials . Heck he can just utilise a piano onstage and make it a centre focal point if he could . He sounds good acapella as well

YesAsia's description of Hanataba no Kawari ni Melody wo

Three months after his last, Shimizu Shota returns with a new single in Hanataba no Kawari ni Melody wo! The affecting ballad serves as the theme song of the upcoming NHK drama Designer Baby starring Kuroki Meisa.

http://www.yesasia.com/global/hanata...0-en/info.html

And for me , it's frustrating that Shota put his face on his single covers in an inconsistent manner since BYE x BYE & I miss you -refrain- had his face on the covers for both singles

It's different as compared to what happen to his albums & it's not as though Shota fails in the looks department :x

[jean-baptiste]

When it comes to Shota I almost always prefer the promo pics of her albums and singles.

Full PV of Hanataba no Kawari ni Melody wo has been uploaded on GYAO!

The PV has a wedding theme with Shota playing the piano

I'm not so crazy about Shota's hairstyle but the song itself is really touching
