Odette Violet Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Like the original is already the best Kpop song but the Japanese version is mopping the floor with ease 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also see this with Japanese discographies of most kpop groups. I always find that most kpop songs sound much better in korean than their japanese or english versions because they don't know what the **** they are singing and just try to imitate the sounds of the lyrics. That being said, there are many english pop songs by east asian stars that i think are excellent. Edited August 9, 2023 by naomi24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naomi24 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) Kpop/korean singers really knows how to do whatever this genre of RnB is called ...

Now, it has gotten better with "Left Right" and "Cupid" sounding as good as possible, but even the mix they're using for "Super Shy" is not doing as well as it should. Of course, better than when "Boy With Luv" was put into rotation with a mix that exposed radio station employees don't listen to the radio, either.

Blueberry Kisses Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I like V's song a lot, but most of all I like that MHJ had the good sense to put her foot down and EXILE whoever BTS's usual vocal producer is. She said NOT on my watch and thank God she did. He sounds like a human being for possibly the first time since 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrier Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 SJJD was truly spectacular. A lighting-in-the-bottle alignment of excellent pop songwriters and a legendary group in their absolute prime. 3 brilliant albums that have aged extremely well despite now all being a decade old. I wanted them to release more music but looking back there is something iconic about the fact that they released a trilogy of classics and then dipped I will never forgive Universal Japan for the fact that the albums still arent on Spotify 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AriadneSnow Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Taehyung’s voice sounds so much better than in most of BTS’s recent output where it’s audio tuned to death. I was liking the song until the English chorus, the song’s okay but I usually prefer more uptempo music. He looks fine as f*ck though as usual! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
