Rock/Pop
Shu’s rock and pop sound is a dynamic fusion of decades-spanning influences. Rooted in the raw energy of alternative rock from the US, UK, and Canada from the ’60s to the 2000s, his music also embraces the nostalgic and emotional depth of Japanese City Pop and J-Pop, creating a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly unique.
