YOU&I

Shota has just released his 9th single, "YOU&I" in Japan on January 26th. The title track was also featured in an ad campaign for the brand new SONY WALKMAN and world premiered in Ebisu, Tokyo right before the Christmas. Shota was accompanied with an acoustic piano in front of 100 lucky fans who won the special invitation over 20,000 entries. The show was titled "Play In The Dark" which only allowed audience to listen - not to see! Shota performed 30 minute set in pitch black concert hall, and received standing ovation by the fans who connected with Shota only via sound!!

You can go to Sony special site and watch the documentary of the show as well as TV commercial and a b-roll film from recording the song in New York. http://www.sony.jp/playyou/kimioto/#/shimizushota/no5
