Hehe I’ve had the new Robot single for a while now, but since I didn’t write a preview of it here and I wanted it to be fresh I’ll post my opinion of it that I wrote right after I had received my own copy!
December 28th
It’s here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ooooooooooooooooooooh so fast!!! It was shipped on 19th and it arrived today even with all the Holidays and all!! I LOVE THIS SINGLE!! The songs are SO different!! So the single includes three songs;
1. Robot (lyrics Jung YongHwa *jap. trans Oba Kosuke, composed Jung YongHwa, Oba Kosuke, arr. Hideyuki “Daichi” Suzuki)
2. Ring (lyrics and composed by Jung YongHwa, arr. Noma Kousuke)
3. Starlit Night (lyrics and composed by Lee JongHyun, arr. Hideyuki “Daichi” Suzuki)
We’re already familiar with Robot, but I did everything I could so I wouldn’t hear the other two songs on the single before getting my own copy! I have to say I was so surprised!! Ring is a peculiar case, I feel like I’m listening to an old swing song! Some say it sounds Xmasy, and of course it has a lot of bells, so you can have that association. But for me it really reminded me of music from old school movies!
Starlit Night is… wonderful!!!! I want so bad to hear this song live in concert, sing as loud as I can, wave my hands in the air joining together with other Boice. What a great song! I find it funny that Jonghyun is refered and refers himself as a tough Busan Namja, who isn’t swayed by females and still the songs he wrote are the most romantic in CNB’s releases. Hehehhe… a really beautiful song and REALLY Japanese!! I could easily see someone like ARASHI recording a song like this! I also loved how both Yonghwa’s and Jonghyun’s voiced sounded like, they were singing in a different style than normally and it sounded so great! More of this, please!
Robot instrumental version is so cool!! I’m crazy about these versions!! I have to make a new instrumental album now!!
I was expecting a more “rocking” single, but I wasn’t disappointed. They are allowed to get all touchy feely too!! hehe… at least when the outcome is so beautiful!!
