Japanese ballads from Tohoshinki
This time, I’m going to share 4 ballads from Korean group, Tohoshinki, who is under AVEX. When they started out, you could feel that they were still apprehensive in singing Japanese. Most probably it was due to them singing something they are not so sure the meaning of. Now, you see an improvement in the songs they sing as they have been spending a considerable amount of time in Japan, brushing up their Japanese. As a result, you get ballads that really hit those sentimental chords as you can really feel the feeling they put into the song, especially Junsu who is fantastic at conveying the meaning of the song and putting his feelings into singing every word.
Asu wa kuru kara (also available in One Piece anime OST)
They are a group worth supporting. At least I think they are better than JE because they are first and foremost a singing group and then dancing comes later. This is because they can really sing. Try them out (especially Love In The Ice and Forever Love) and you won’t be disappointed.
If you like what you hear, buy their singles and albums!
Asu wa kuru kara is available on their first Japanese album, Heart, Mind and Soul @ cdjapan or buy their single Asu wa kuru kara @ cdjapan.
Begin is available on their second Japanese album, Five In The Black @ cdjpan or buy their single Begin @ cdjapan.
Buy their single Love in the Ice @ cdjapan
Buy their single Forever Love @ cdjapan
Next post, I will introduce some songs from their Five In The Black album.
