OMG, Jaejoong’s Solo Single is So Flawless And I Love It OMG

I still don’t rate JYJ‘s music and performances on the level of what TVXQ are currently doing, but as far as the trio’s solo stuff goes, they are shitting on bitches left and right (that means that they’re really good, fyi). Junsu’s epic “Tarantallegra” restored my faith in male pop soloists after the likes of Justin Bieber and Chris Brown destroyed it, and now his bandmate, Jaejoong, has knocked my wig, weave, and falsies clean off with his new single, “Mine.”

Jaejoong’s gone total J-rock for his solo, visual kei and all (which I wrote about over on Popdust). “Mine” is a big, melodic metal fest, bursting with all the hyperactivity of an anime series’ opening theme. Jaejoong’s voice, strong and emotive from years of singing Asian power ballads, is stretchy enough to reach the rollercoaster highs and lows that a song this deliciously dramatic requires.

Jaejoong is a smart boy for releasing a song like this. Not just because it’s fucking flawless and slays my entire life, but since Korea is still being shady towards JYJ, it only makes sense for him to drop something that’s going to appeal to the rest of Asia instead of trying to conform to the style of a country that won’t even let him perform on TV. Hopefully we see a Japanese version of “Mine” in the future, as well as some J-pop and J-rock from JYJ. After all, Japan’s where the money’s at these days.

    i don’t know, cheesy pop punk/rock music is way less appealing to me than cheesy rnb/pop or bubblegum stuff. this is just really boring to me.

  • twinkle9

    I love ittttttttttttttt. Is so visual Kei that i love it more.

    Never really cared about JYJ but as solo artists DAYUMN! Although I’m still not sure about yoochun he may be the weakest link. At least as an actor he already know he sucks. On another note, are you going to review SPEED’s release after two freakin’ years?! It seems like KKS is gaining yet again momentum. The guy may be evil but he just also may be nothing short of genius. Look at what he did with what was bound to flop so bad: the seeya!

    I’ve never really been into visual kei, but this song appeals to me for some reason. Maybe because Jaejoong actually has a good voice, unlike most visual kei singer that just drench the song in vibrato.

  • Andrew

    BEST SONG OF THE YEAR so far
    Other than the fact that it is absolutely perfect, Jaejoong is creating something that no other idol has attempted to do and even if they do it I doubt they can pull it off this damn good. and that’s also the power of JYJ, In their ability to venture and
    create rather than copy. *RESPECT*
    .

  • o.O

    JUST ONE WORD FOR THIS MV: PERFECT!

  • Hannah

    Finally an album I actually want to replay again after 10 times listen to it. I’m so glad Jaejoong made this decision to walk out of the beaten path for a kpop idol like him. I enjoy this album so much that i already started to look forward to his next album hahaha

  • UJum
