Asian Hits & Hots Song

Tohoshinki - Beautiful you

on October 6th, 2008 by Dj Oranji

Beautiful You/ Sennen Koi Uta is Tohoshinki’s 22nd single and first single after the set of “Trick” singles. The single was released on 2008.04.23 and Sennen Koi Uta was used as the theme song of the Korean drama Taioushinjiki.

This is a review of the C version by the way, I’ll be adding the other versions soon enough.

My Thoughts
Two ballads, yay! I’m a sucker for ballads and Tohoshinki tend to do ballads pretty well so good news all around.

Beautiful You is a guitar driven song with a more mature instrumental based around the guitar (and it reminds me of Suga Shikao music… just not as good). I don’t like the song very much though, just their voices don’t match with the instruments in this song and the transition between verses/ choruses is a little choppy for my liking.

SHINee are the newest boy band from SM Entertainment and, despite the fact that they’ve only been active for a few weeks, are already causing a storm amongst Korean music fans. So it’s time to take a look at the group’s first release (the mini-album Nunan neomu yeppeo (Replay)) and see what all the fuss is about.

Nunan neomu yeppeo (Replay) opens the album with a smooth R’n'B-esque melody before the vocals kick in. The members’ voices are incredibly smooth and mature-sounding, making it easy to see why they have drawn comparisons to their contemporaries DBSK. The song continues on a mid-tempo level but somehow doesn’t become boring. The whole song makes it difficult to believe that they are so young (the eldest being just 18) when they sound like a boy band that have been in training for many years and have a lot more experience.
