To me, the beauty of Shun is in its subtlety. It's not groundbreaking. There's nothing big or showy about it. It's just a simple, beautiful melody, which Ringo executes with a sort of delicate power. It really showcases her range (in terms of performance), especially coming as it does after Tsugou no Ii Karada on the album.
I'm still hoping someone somewhere has a recording of her performance of Shun from Taiwan...the 15 seconds I heard of it sounded excellent.
