At the end of 2016, it was mentioned by HIGHFeeL that the last works of Shota Yokoyama would be released in 2017. The date has been fixed on November 30, two years after the sudden passing of the musician.
The title of the release is Melting and the CD contains 5 tracks. The first sample Shota put online in 2015 had the same title. In addition to Melting, there are the tracks Trick, Oxeye Daisy and Down the Rules. These tracks are completely mixed and validated by Shota himself. Originally these tracks were never planned to be released together. On a special page, dedicated to the upcoming release, there is more information about the CD Melting and what was planned for releases and promotional videos.

The last track is a raw recording of Shota’s last guitar solo, that was recorded less than 24 hours before he collapsed onstage in Poland. He was there as part of ADAMS during the European tour (Original Love Tour 2015).
Melting can be pre-ordered at the webshop of HIGHFeeL and will be shipped on November 30.
Shota was most known as the guitarist of ADAMS, but also the one who launched the label and tour organization HIGHFeeL in Japan, which is now also active in Europe. In addition, he was active as a composer, artistic director, consultant and music producer.
