Jpop Recommend #344 Hanataba no kawari ni melody wo by Shota Shimizu

花束の代わりにメロディーを 

Hanataba no kawari ni melody wo

清水 翔太 Shota Shimizu



Released in October 2015, this is his 20th song.  Debuted at young age, he has a long career but he is still in his 30s.  Renowned vocalist.  I like many of his love ballad.


If you like his song, please try his other songs such as "SNOW SMILE" and "化粧, kesho"
