[TRANS] 150316 Hidden Masterpieces ④: TVXQ For You Who Know Only HUG and Mirotic..

The TVXQ who debuted in 2003, 26th of December with HUG, singing about wanting to become your kitten, doing a cute wink, without knowing it, 12 years have run past. The yet-to-mature youth who could steal the hearts of young girls in their 10s’ have now become the lovers of not just 10s’, even 2~40s’ hearts of tens of thousands, have been stolen.

Why is it that they (TVXQ) can still receive a lot of love from many people even after a long period of time? Certainly, it’s their gd-looking appearance, polished dancing skills, and it’s a fact tt their digestible sensible title songs (make) non-fans (also) fully aware of them.

But if you discover the hidden masterpieces that only fans know of in TVXQ’s albums, you will be able to discover a different side of TVXQ that you thought you knew.

From the weighty title tracks, led by charisma, contrary to the two’s appearances, (their) records show (themselves) starting from men who fall in love, to being frustrated over a broken-heart.

(Even as they) stand at the highest position, they have never been afraid to change things and try out different (genres) of TVXQ’s hidden masterpieces.

Dream (details of writers omitted)

From the Catch Me album of 24 September, 2012, even if not a TVXQ fan, many people will know of this song. If one is a SM fan, one should have played the mission theme song on their rhythm game, Superstar SMTown at least once. As it is quite difficult, it has made many people frustrated.

But in contrast to its happy melody, “no matter what you say, just for this moment, i want to be your side, just like this.”, “I can’t do anything but just looking at you is good for me”, “It was hard to approach you, so I only felt you through my dreams. But you are facing me right now, I can’t believe it.” expressing one’s pain at a one-sided love in this way can only happen in dreams. ‘Even if there is no way for it to become reality, it is still good like that’ kind of catchy lyrics, (even with) careful tastes, one will find oneself subconsciously replaying the song endlessly.

Moonlight Fantasy – writer credits omitted-

From the Tense album of 6 January, 2014, ‘Moonlight Fantasy’ gives off a ‘lead track’ ‘Something’ kind of extended feeling, with a unique jazz musical taste. If Something is said to show how a suave person steals all the women’s hearts, then ‘Moonlight Fantasy”s feeling is about putting one’s entire being into singing for one’s only love.

(lyrics omitted)

Such lyrics really give people the feeling of a fantasy of holding hands with one’s loved one and flying through the neighbourhood.

Off-Road (writer credits omitted)

This song is different from the previous catchier songs. It gives the feel of containing the cool autumn wind . As the heart of a man who has grown weary of his relationship at a stage of ennui (boredom/listlessness), it is expressed fully as it is. “In the short film of our memories / The feelings that made us laugh and cry have dried up, nothing remains /Can’t we even smile now?/You’re so difficult/ It would be better if you were a stranger” like this, it has expressed the feeling of being forlorn fully.

However, the part of the song “Even if you dream a different dream, stay by my side / If one person doesn’t get off first /We’re not there yet, even if we’re off-road” eventually shows how the lovers have promised an enduring love. Perhaps at the beginning, the melody is not catchy, but unknowingly, it will become a song that one will continue listening to, the next day.

Steppin’ (writers’ credits omitted)

In TVXQ’s 7th album, Tense, there are many ‘high-rank manly’ songs that give people a ‘popular’ feel. Steppin’ is about a rich young man who is ignorant and uses a carefree attitude to watching a woman’s back (chase a woman). The melody also gives people the feeling of a cute man’s gestures of sneakily following behind and then working hard to act ignorant (when he is about to be discovered). “I imagine you, from seeing the faces of the men who are walking the opposite way, oh, don’t turn back, I like it right now.” this is about enjoying the moment fully. But the part of the song that goes “Then you suddenly turn around, I don’t know what to do, I can’t look at you” such lyrics show a 10s’ idol (teen idol ) who does not seem to be witty.

Rumor (writers’ credits omitted)

The 5th album, WHY Keep Your Head Down, released on 3 January, 2011, is filled with singular meanings about the current TVXQ. So as compared to lighter songs, there are more heavier songs. Rumor is a song that describes the conflict between lovers, with the lyrics explaining the rumours that one hears, leading to suspicion and anger flaring up. “When you decided to live only for me / Don’t say things you don’t mean- why are you avoiding me / Don’t ask about the rumors floating around / Upon hearing them, I just laugh How can you do this just by hearing others’ words? ” this is about lovers who have been affected by ridiculous rumours, and not to waste the time walking together until now that they have promised. “Don’t put that difficult expression on your face / My heart will hurt and be in danger / I will put on a smile on your face” such lyrics suit the baritone tone and the stylish beat like a person listening to a conversation kind of feeling. To understand the turmoils between lovers, recommending this song is a good idea.

Although these few songs have been found, as preferences vary from individuals to individuals, it is impossible to say which is the best. However, if amongst the recommended songs, you are able to find one that you like, that can also be considered the stepping stone of starting to understand TVXQ.

TVXQ may have those that think of them as just simple idols or have prejudice against idols or elementary school students that do not know of them, at the most, only of HUG or MIrotic. If one is to recommend these songs to them, how would it be. TVXQ’s infinite musicality will also be supported by TopStarNews.
