SHOWTA. – Hikaru no Gen-chan

Release Date: April 23, 2008

Tracklist:

1. Hikaru no Gen-chan
2. Sausage
3. Hikaru no Gen-chan (Utanashi)
I wonder who Gen-chan is from Hikaru no Gen-chan. This song has a Eastern feel to it, complete with the plucking string instrument (don’t know what it’s called). The melody in Hikaru no Gen-chan is quite uplifting an easy to listen to. [...]

SHOWTA. – Haru na no ni

Release Date: January 23, 2008

Tracklist:
1. Haru na no ni
2. Samidare no Uta
3. Haru na no ni (Instrumental)
SHOWTA.’s single covers get girlier and girlier as time progresses. (Side note)
The A-side, Haru na no ni, uses an Asian instrument as the introduction (sound VERY Chinese to me). The melody makes use of SHOWTA.’s lower register. The [...]

1. Kimi ni, Kaze ga Fukimasu You ni

3. Kimi ni, Kaze ga Fukimasu You ni (Instrumental)
4. Kanransha wa Mawaru (Instrumental)
A synth-ed up beginning starts Kimi ni, Kaze ga Fukimasu You ni, with SHOWTA.’s vocals coming in soon afterwards. This song seems like those..carousel songs. So happy..too happy for [...]

Release Date: April 4, 2007
Tracklist:
1. Hitoshizuku
2. Reality
3. Hitoshizuku (Instrumental)
4. Reality (Instrumental)
For a second, I thought Hitoshizuku was a Chinese pop song because of the beginning. The beginning of the verse reminded me of Planetarium by Otsuka Ai too. This is another calm song by SHOWTA., but one of my favourites so far. The melody is [...]

Tracklist:
1. Trans-winter ~Fuyu no Mukougawa~
2.Yuki no Oto
3. Trans-winter ~Fuyu no Mukougawa~
4. Yuki no Oto (Instrumental)
Trans-winter ~Fuyu no Mukougawa~ was the first song that I heard from SHOWTA. The beginning is really catchy, and livelier than his last single. SHOWTA. uses his upper register (wow, even he has something higher) in [...]

Release Date: July 26, 2006

Tracklist:
1. Negaiboshi
2. HOTARU
3. Nagaiboshi (Instrumental)
4. HOTARU (Instrumental)
Negaiboshi is a calm song, I must admit. The first time I heard SHOWTA.’s voice, I was like, “is this a woman?” Then I watched one of his interviews, and learned that his voice is young boyish (shounen?). The accompaniment is simple, and the melody [...]
