I didn't think that I would start the new year talking about these guys. Especially since I didn't like them when I first came across them on Youtube. After looking at a photo book, I came back around and checked out the single. I was skeptical at first but when I witness their music, lord was what I heard needed in the Japanese music industry. Show Wa has a kind of music that brings the listener back to a certain era of Japan. They are reviving this genre of Show-Era that brought showy love songs to Japanese audiences decades ago. Production uses dance disco beats with violins and electric guitars. These sounds take me to a place where Japan's music had emotional depth, yet there was a fun essence as well. I've been playing Desire to death. It's such a great song or maybe even their best song to date in my opinion.
The vocals are greatly planned out in the group like most Jpop groups. I love the vibrato of some of the vocals. They have songs where you really have to give a solid vocal performance and all the guys are on the older side. Unlike a lot of groups that start out super young.
One of the members was in another popular group called SOLDIMO. I can't take wait to hear more from Show-wa. Hopefully a new single or album is released soon.
