Here it is! The 29th of August that I've been waiting for already said hello yesterday. I'm writing this blog while listening to CNBLUE new Japanese album called "CODE NAME BLUE". This one sounds different than others. The boys said there are various types of songs in this album and they can be the perfect soundtrack for your day. I totally agree with them. Happy, sad, broken, angry? or anything else you name it, just choose a song and sing it loudly.
There are 14 songs on this album. 7 of them are new songs, while others have been released on their previous Japanese single or mini album. The leader YongHwa composed/co-composed 10 songs. Wohoooo! :D
My favorites from their new songs are "These days" and "Blue sky", really love both lyrics and melodies! The genius JongHyun is the man behind "These days" music, no wonder.. :)

The official release date for CNBLUE new single on Japan is still 3 days away (01.08.2012), but this morning I've got the leaked link to listen to their new single (3 songs) in advance ^^
*I guess the word "long" on "I long to be close to you" refers to "belong"*
It's quite funny to hear Yong Hwa's pronunciation of "miracle" haha.. Sometimes I found the english lyrics are strange to be heard as a sentence, but I know Yong Hwa already make a huge effort to write the song and he's still learning to improve his english :)
Somehow I feel their music on Japan slightly a bit different than their Korean songs. The appearance is darker and the music is louder in Japan, while in Korea the boys images are softer and warmer. Those are just my opinion though, but I guess their adapt to the market preference.
Recently, Jung Yong Hwa also composed a song for FNC's new group, AOA. The song title is "Love Is Only You". The group consists of 8 young women, bring a theme of "Angel's Story" for their debut. FNC already released several teaser videos of this group and planned to have their debut on July 30th. It was unfortunate for FNC that the song already leaked two (or three?) days ago, as a contrast it's a blessing in disguise for Yong Hwa fans ;)
I have finished listen to Sara Bareilles new EP, called "Once Upon Another Time", which has been released on last May. The EP consists of 5 new songs: Once Upon Another Time, Stay, Lie To Me, Sweet As Whole, Bright Lights and Cityscapes.
The first and second verse lyrics of "Sweet As Whole" are drowning my attention. I can't help but giggling while listening and reading those sweet but sharp words :)
"Sweet As Whole"
[Verse 1:]
Sometimes I can be perfectly sweet
Got this sugary me stuffed in my sleeve
And I talk of ponies and rainbows and things
And I'm just who you want me to be
But like most creatures down here on the ground
I'm composed of the elements moving around
And I grow and change and I shift and I switch
And it turns out I'm actually kind of a bitch
But that only happens when I get provoked
By some piece of shit asshole we all sadly know
And I sit and I write while reminding you all
That mean songs are still better than going postal
[Chorus:]
And that guy's an asshole
That girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No gettin' away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Fuck that guy he's just an asshole
Oh-asshole
Asshole
Asshole
[Verse 2:]
I see I've surprised you with some of my words
And I know that surprises, while fun, still can hurt
And I hate to think that I ruined the day
Of the dick and the queen of the high horse parade
But I'm sick and tired of your poisonous ways
Your toxin wasting perfectly good space
And I say what I think
'Cause it's more economic than drugs or a drink
