Yesung’s Drama Song ‘Love Hurts A Lot’ (Full)

EDIT 2: FULL SONG UP ON YOUTUBE ♥♥♥♥♥.  Yesung bb, I’m so proud of you!  This is a wonderful song and guhhhh can his voice be any more beautiful?  ♥ x infinity.  I hope he gets to perform this solo on music shows *crosses fingers*.

EDIT 1: savageshrink is awesome for this youtube linkage!  GO SALIVATE OVER YESUNG’S VOICE HERE.  I join you in hoping Yesung gets to sing this solo on music shows~!

I DEMAND YOU LISTEN TO THIS RIGHT NOW.  (It’s a link to sj-market; it will start playing once you click the link.)

I don’t know what drama this will be for, but omg I might have to watch.  This song is so sad and beautiful ;_______; ♥♥♥♥♥.  I LOVE HIS VOICE SO HARD.  I can’t wait to hear a full version.  (AND SUJU K.R.Y. NEEDS TO RELEASE A FULL ALBUM, Y/Y??  They’re one of my most-played artists on iTunes, despite having like, what, 3 official songs? :/  But all those rips of them singing on radio to contribute to that play count, I must admit ^___^.)

Preview DBSK’s ‘Kiss The Baby Sky’

You can watch the video of them on Zoom In Japan here ^^.

I think this is their next Japanese single after ‘Mirotic’…?  XD;;.  YOOCHUN WROTE IT ♥♥♥♥♥.  I like the melody and beat, but their voices sound so hiiiiiiigh.  LOL.  But still, looking forward to a full version :).  There are also really cute clips of them recording the studio and there’s even a bit of Yoomin, one of those under-the-radar DBSK pairings that I love.

Epik High ‘1 Minute 1 Second’ MV

{credit: wondersmurf @ youtube}

(Thanks so much to sweetrequiem and seuli for the heads up! ♥!)

This is … incredible ;___; ♥.  I really love the rewind effects they used in this MV (hahaha they must love using it; they used it in the ‘One’ MV as well, although to a much lesser extent) ~ it works well.  Although, Tablo and the banana made me giggle a little XD.  And guh finally knowing what the lyrics mean = alsjdkflajskdlfjaljk ♥.  The chorus just got 284910894123 times catchier for me.  I also loved that one part where they’re listing all the little things that don’t seem important, but are somehow memorable, like how one sits at a bar, the dimples, raising a pinky finger when drinking water, clumsy chopstick skills, etc.  Bittersweet and poetic ♥.

Can’t wait to see some performances on music shows!!!

Epik High Releases ‘LoveScream’

Epik High released their mini-album ‘LoveScream’ today in Korea~!  The art for this album looks so interesting from what I’ve seen in those teasers; I can’t wait to see the actual booklet.  My copy is getting shipped out in a few days (hopefully T___T) so I’ll scan the booklet when I get it :).  I couldn’t really resist listening to the tracks off youtube, though!  Quite a remarkable mini-album; I don’t know how to explain it, but the songs feel especially nostalgic, wistful almost.  Definitely darker than ‘Pieces’.  Depressing, but in the same beautiful way that ‘Umbrella’ was depressing.  Maybe because of the heavy use of classical instruments in the background…?  I dunno, but I LOVE IT!

♥ Butterfly Effect.  Features an all-English rap!!  Extraordinary opening track … expounds on the title (and chaos theory), explores the “LoveScream’ concept, and explains their tagline, “music for lovers and heartbreakers”.  That line “from whispered hushes and distant crushes” makes me flail.   SLJFKLLFJLS HOW ARE THEY SO GOOD.

♥ Fallin’ (feat. 조예진).  BEAUTIFUL.  ♥ I love how the piano runs through the background.  And the electronic beats ♥.  I love when they collaborate with female artists; always the perfect complement to their rapping.

♥ Harajuku Days.  hahaha this one kind of scared me when I first heard it … someone hums the melody of the whole song.  But what a gorgeous instrumental, seriously *___*.   Interesting title too ^___^.  It makes me think about when we were in Japan (Harajuku, actually XD!), just calmly stopping to watch the people and the colors and the noise whizzing past us.

♥ 습관 (Habit) (feat. 하동균).  LSJDFKLSDFJSDLK OMG HA DONG KYUN ♥♥♥♥♥.  I don’t think I’ve ever posted about him before, but he is easily one of my favorite ballad singers.  I just love his husky voice.  (And check out Wanted while you’re at it; their 7Days & Wanted album released in 2007 is one of my favorite Korean albums ever.)  alsjdfkls this song is brilliant.  It almost sounds like horror film-ish … lol listening to this makes me think of that Edgar Allan Poe story, “The Fall of the House of Usher.”  I KNOW THAT MAKES NO SENSE, OKAY.  But it makes me wonder what the song is really about XD;;.

♥ 쉿.  ajlsdkfj the interludes are so good ;___;.  Sometimes I wish these things were full songs lol.

♥ 1분 1초 (1 Minute 1 Second).  Taru’s voice is perfect for this song!!  Probably my favorite song off this mini-album, although ‘Habit’ comes very close.  Upbeat chorus (does it remind anyone of the ‘Love Love Love’ chorus?), but the song as a whole sounds really melancholy and lovely ♥.   Kind of like how ‘One’ was.

♥ 1825 (Paper Cranes).  Another short track (only 1:45) unfortunately, but beautiful and the perfect ending to this album…

‘Mirotic’ MV (Japanese Version)

HERE!  There’s also a download link in the youtube sidebar ^^.

Thanks so much to lyphta for the heads up!!  The Japanese MV for ‘Mirotic’ is out … lol to be honest, I’ve listened to the Korean version so many times now that I find this a bit anticlimatic XD;;.  This version feels watered down, not as sensual somehow…?  And I definitely prefer the rap in the Korean version; Yunho’s voice sounds too high in this one XD.

This MV is quite similar to the Korean version, just with different angles, some different close-ups, and like one or two shots I haven’t seen before.  Still great stuff though.  They look so fly ♥♥♥♥♥.
