January 20, 2006 Great single =)First off, I'd like to say this single was exceptional. The title song is very good. The other tracks (soundscape on the Japanese version, and Seul-peum-eun neon-chyeom-do on the Korean version) weren't quite up to par. I haven't listened to a BoA song since she's released "Shine We Are" (for those of you that are BoA fans, you realize that was quite a while ago). However, I thought this song was so great. The only problem I have with it is the English ("I'm sorry for your tenderness") which doesn't quite make sense...
On another note, I think the person below me is full of it, and is just nationalistic and full of bias. The Japanese version DOES NOT have more "emotion" than the Korean version. They're the SAME song, sung the SAME way. The languages are just different, and the person below is probably just bias. I think personally am offended, especially when he/she states: "The korean version of everlasting isn't sung with as great of emotion as the japanese version (well what do you expect)". What is, "well what do you expect?" supposed to mean? That the Korean language is inferior to the Japanese? Disregard this person's ignorance.
In my own opinion, I personally DO believe that the Japanese lyrics fit the song better, but NOT because it's "sung with more emotion" (when recorded songs have little emotion anyway). I think it's because Japanese has harder consonants than Korean which fits the instrumentals in the song. Also, the song itself is a Jpop styled song, and therefore would probably sound best with Japanese lyrics. Just like "No.1" sounds better in Korean than it does in Japanese simply because it's a Kpop styled song.
It's a great buy! Probably one of the best things she's let out for a while. This has a memorable melody, something that most of her songs have been lacking lately.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
