Shota Shimizu 'My Boo' Short Ver.

Shota Shimizu’s love ballad “My Boo” is a heartfelt song that resonates with women, showcasing his single-minded devotion.

Since everything except the chorus is rap, it’s an easy pick for men, too.

Some women might say they’re not into rap, but it’s not a fast, machine-gun style—and in this song, the rap sections actually make the chorus hit even harder, so no worries! There’s also an answer song, “Dear My Boo,” sung by Mirei Toyama, so it would be lovely for couples to sing them to each other.
