While I still like (love) the original more, the Japanese version is really good too.

I like how they’ve changed up the video a little. Not keeping the choreography would have been just wrong, so I’m glad they kept it. I liked the outfits in the original more too, but it would have been extremely boring if everything had looked the same as if they had just made a Japanese voice over of the original video.

I’m not sure about Tae-yeon’s hair style where they’re wearing the green outfits though.

Re:ache is HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR’s final single. It’s a slower song.

As of this release I guess the band is officially broken up.

Mister was the song that was picked for KARA’s first Japanese single. It doesn’t sound as weird in Japanese as I would have thought. The Korean version is better though.

I don’t know if it was the initial impact of the dancing in the live performance I posted, but somehow this video feels tamer.

The official wallpapers for Holidays in the Sun are out!

Please Stay With Me is one of the new songs on YUI’s new album Holidays In The Sun, which will be out next week. It’s a very nice ballad.

You can tell that it’s been a while since YUI released a regular album since Summer Song is on it, which came out two years ago.

Unfortunately this video doesn’t seem to be included on the DVD that comes with the album.

I’ve listened to a leaked copy of the album and it’s very good!

I just love YUI!

Sorry about the so-so quality. The source video wasn’t the best. At least now the audio is somewhat in synch.

Here’s another one of YUI’s songs performed in Korean by Tae-yeon of SNSD in the musical version of Midnight Sun.

This time it’s without the guitar. The Korean version sounds really nice.

No, she’s not actually playing the guitar here. Not unless she found some kind of magic chord that sounds like a whole bunch of different chords . Her vocals are great though.

I know some of you guys have been waiting for Tae-yeon’s musical performance in Midnight Sun.

This torrent has the entire musical in PSP-friendly video. I think it’s the biggest file I’ve posted to date. The video is in Korean and does not have subtitles.

For those who don’t know, Midnight Sun (태양의 노래) is a Korean musical version of the Japanese movie (which is based on a book as I understand it) with the same name (Midnight Sun/太陽の歌).
