[TRANS] part 7. Nikkei Entertainment Tohoshinki
On 10/27, an album titled “Fine collection~Begin Again~” was released to commemorate their comeback. It is a big album containing three CDs featuring 40 songs. There are three songs that they re-recorded, and they selected hit songs in their early days till mid-career. Since they have already performed live, “Rising Sun” and “Why did I fall in love with you?” at their recent live stages, “Bolero” is the song that would get the most attention this time. This song was released in 2009 and it is the most difficult and magnificent ballad to sing, and this would be the first time for the two of them to sing. Changmin sang this song with his junior people at SMTOWN Live in 2015 and fans raised their voices that they want to hear the two of them sing this song (note: Yunho was absent because he was already enlisted.) By selecting/including this song in the album, I can see and understand their theme, “We will step up from/go beyond ourselves in the past.”
YH: Even at the SM Town live, three peole sang the song, right? But this time, we will sing the song by ourselves, just the two of us. We needed to clear the high hurdles to sing the song but the song is very meaningful.. and we also wanted to challenge ourselves.
CM: We have zero time to take a breath.. in terms of which part of the song that each of us sing! (laugh)
YH: Yes, we are quite busy (in taking turn to sing the song) (laugh). Together with Changmin, I struggled hard and sing the song while thinking “How could we be able to overcome this challenge and impress everyone?” About the lyrics, we really think hard/seriously about the whole flow and each phrase. I hope that when you all hear the song, you could experience Tohoshinki who stepped up the ladder again. You could feel nostalgic about the song but also you could feel something brand new. I am a bit confident about the track.
CM: Neither of us had a chance to listen to the final/complete mix of the song yet, so I am really looking forward to listening to it.
YH: When we decided to sing the song by just the two of us, I was not totally sure whether we could do it. But after I heard our vocal, “Ah, this song fits well to the two of us, right now.” I think we grew as men and as human being, I think our vocal fit really well to this song… If we sang this song…the two of us in old days, I think that we were lacking something.
- I want to listen to you performing the song in live.
YH: At live stage? ^^; But I guess we performed, “Rising Sun” and “Love in Ice”. Initially everyone thought that it was impossible for us to sing these songs, but the two of us were able to perform these songs on stage. That is because we are Tohoshinki!
