I'm changing my tactics...
楊宗緯 has no looks to survive in the industry, but his voice is to die for.
But mainly because I was touched by TVXQ's voices.
Get comfy in your seats, close the other browsers and expand your bandwidth... This is gonna be a long post again.
TVXQ started out as a chorus boy group, supposedly specialising in acapella and ballads. Now, they have evolved into a group that can dance, sing and act, excelling in all areas of the industry.
I was trained under an Acapella singer during my Secondary School Choir days. So I was taught to appreciate the sound of voices alone, coming together to form beautiful sound. I have a dong bang friend who was also in Choir, so she should know what I'm trying to say.
It's a skill to display one's voice raw and undressed together with other nude voices.
It's a feat to produce perfect harmonization in such raw circumstances.
So today, I'll focus on what TVXQ were suppose to be and what they do best.
May I present to you:
東方神起 Acapella / Live
I'll be introducing a few great songs that all will love. (no.. nothing like Rising Sun)
Btw, these are all my favourites, just thought there might be people out there looking for good music.
Part 1
To date, this is their most confident song in acapella, as mentioned by Junsu. They've gotten so used to it, it comes almost so naturally.
TVXQ - Begin (Live)
Couldn't get the acapella ver. live, but you can get the mv ver. on YouTube.
It's their 6th Japanese Single released in June 06.
Part 2
TVXQ - My Little Princess
First released in the "Hug" Single in January 04.
It is also included in TVXQ's first album (Korea) "Tri-angle", released in Oct 04
Part 3
To anticipate the upcoming 2nd Asia Tour Concert in Taiwan, I'm embedding a chinese song. (:
TVXQ - Hug (Chinese Ver.)
To date, the song "Hug" is the only song sung in Korean, Japanese, Chinese and English.
This is also their debut song, which means alot to the boys.
They've stated in their Taiwan Concert Promo interviews that they've been practicing and promised the chinese fans to expect performances in Chinese...
Changminnie's mandarin doesn't sound that bad...
Part 4
TVXQ - Whatever They Say (acapella)
Released in "The Way U Are" Single on June 04 and also included in the "Tri-angle" album.
Qp's new favourite song. So I shan't say more.
~~Intermission~~
When you put the four songs together, you'll get the most wondrous medley ever.
This is a MUST WATCH Video for ALL.
Tohoshinki Acapella on FITB 2nd Live Tour 2007
Need I say more... Their voices speaks louder than words.
Part 5
Shan, a Jaejoong (sort of) fan, mentioned that she thinks "My Destiny" is nice.
Wait till you hear this.
TVXQ - My Destiny (Acapella)
3rd Japanese Single, released in Nov 05. It is also included in their 1st Japanese Album "Heart, Mind and Soul" released on Mar 06.
I like both versions, but the acapella version is sounds more touching~~
....it's the skills.
Part 6
So you think they can only sing practiced pieces...
And you think most of their acapella performances were "beautified electronically"...
TVXQ singing Acapella
Aish.. Yoochun's giggle spoiled the perfect harmony. I don't know what's the 1st song, but it sounds familiar.. might be some Korean children/folk song.
Yunho's voice is freaking low!! So hard to imagine him as a bass that good.
Jaejoong ah! your sigh is so sexy ya! He always does this at this part of the song.
Part 7
Now you think their skills are confined to the language their comfortable with...
TVXQ - On Bended Knees (Acapella)
It's a cut of TVXQ on a Japanese Television Show called 'Gokigenyou'.
They sang the song "On Bended Knee" by Boyz II Men in Acapella.
F.Y.I. Boyz II Men is a black boyband that can sing really well in the 90s.
KowTow to TVXQ for their perfect Acapella skills.
I actually have more to share, but I think this is quite alot for 1 post.
I can see that most of you are quite "breathless" (impatient) already.
TVXQ Rocks My World!!
