SHOBU

SHOBU is a solo track by Shotaro.

This song portrays a man who is still growing.
A man who feels frustration when comparing himself to others.
A man who fears being laughed at and fears giving everything only to fall short.

Instead of hiding those weaknesses
he carries them with him and takes another step onto the stage.

The title SHOBU is written with two Japanese characters.

Sho represents flight and comes from the Sho in Shotaro.
Bu represents dance and the act of expressing yourself on stage.

Together they form Shobu.

The same sound also means challenge or battle in Japanese.

But this is not a battle against someone else.
It is a battle to surpass the person he was yesterday.

Do not wait for the wind.
Create it with your own feet.

You do not have to be perfect.
You do not have to be fearless.
You do not even have to know how to fly yet.

Turn every frustration and every doubt into momentum.
Keep moving forward until you finally reach the sky.

SHOBU captures where Shotaro stands today and his determination to keep moving forward.
