Chinese Music

I know many people are not very knowledgable about Chinese (Mandarin) music. For one, the tones of the Chinese language are not present in music; it makes it flow much better. I will have to admit that a lot of Chinese music is not very ‘good’, but that is the same for any language. You may have noticed that there is an unexplainable genre difference between Korean and Japanese music as well as American music. You can expect the same from Chinese music, it is a different feeling and melody. Do not expect a Korean ballad or a Japanese rock song.
Here is a list of some good songs for you to try out.
LEEHOM <3: He’s my most favorite artist ever (not kidding).
Wang LeeHom – [不完整的旋律] {Incomplete Melody}
Wang LeeHom – [心中的日月] {Shangri-La}
and many many more….

Others:
Jay Chou – 回到过去 [Hui Dao Guo Qu] {Return to the Past}
David Tao + Jolin Tsai – [今天妳要嫁给我] {Marry Me Today}
Fahrenheit – 新窩 [Xin Wo] {New Home} ft. SHE
Khalil Fong [方大同] – Gou Bu Gou [夠不夠] {To reach?}

BoA – be with you. [single]

 

Both of these songs are soo sweet. I could listen to them forever~ She is so beautiful on the cover as always. In ‘be with you’, I love it when she says ‘chaldo’.

01- be with you
02- precious

A long time since I had last posted! I spend too much time on ~other~ blogs that I barely have enough time to update my own. Well I got an idea to make another of these.
Strangely, I am starting to get more into Japanese music. Usually my favorite albums are in Korean, but only 1/4 is. Read on ahead if you’re interested in my thoughts.
Tohoshinki [東方神起] – Purple Line :This is the track that propelled me into the world of DBSK/DBSG/TVXQ/Tohoshinki/Yunho,Changmin,Jaejoong, YooChun,JunSu (YES I remembered all their names and nicknames, Am I a fan-guy now?Or shall I keep naming ~U-Know,Max,Hero,Micky,Xiah~) -I’ll make a blog about them later

Wang LeeHom [王力宏] – Change Me [改变自己] :What is there not to love about LeeHom. On any blog asking “Who is your hero?”, guess who I would put? He is a genius, cares about the environment and the world, lives like a minimalist, puts passion into his composition, and has voice of perfection. He moved away from his ‘Chink-ed Out’ genre to an undefinable genre that is LeeHom. (Actually it is hard to define. Probably a mix of pop and ballad; it just sounds nice and the lyrics are very good as well.) The only song I don’t really like, but listen to anyway, is “Cockney Girl”.

Tim – Love Is… :I definitely like his voice and the album is totally recommended for its upbeat and mostly ballad songs. Track 05, ‘To Some Degree of Love,” and its [mv] are really good, however, I like every song of the album. he is most known by his ever popular song from his first album, “I Love You.” I like that song as well. I am currently trying out his previous albums.

BoA – Made in Twenty (20) :Although it is not a recent release, I still really like this album. It is another of those rare albums where you love every song. BoA’s Japanese music is much better than her Korean music.
