Boku wa Kimi wo Aishiteru

KJH

I seriously love Kim Jeong-Hoon's (John-Hoon) voice, even though I tremendously hate his acting roles. He is one of the few male singers I know, who can hit high notes without sounding so off for a male singer. (I recommend listening to his version of "Parrot" here.)

KJH recently released his latest album, Boku wa Kimi wo Aishiteru with three main songs: "Boku wa Kimi wo Aishiteru", "The Best of My Life" and "Ready to Go!" It also includes a couple of instumentals but I have no clue about their titles.

So far, the first two songs sound nice. Still in touch with the theme he used in his other album, Sad Song, "Boku wa Kimi wo Aishiteru" speaks of a sad heart and parting ways with a love one.

The second single though, is more upbeat and similar to "Sirius" and "Yamanai Ame". Still, his songs are sung entirely in Japanese like his two previous albums as a solo singer. I would have to say that from Five Stella Lights to Boku wa Kimi wo Aishiteru, his Japanese enunciation and pronunciation has improved a lot. Words are more clearly differentiated in Boku wa Kimi wo Aishiteru unlike the somewhat slurry Japanese in Five Stella Lights. I just wish he had thought of a more creative title to this one. I mean, seriously, having "I love you" as your title is too... common. Besides, it's also too long for a title. ^^;

*'Boku wa Kimi wo Aishiteru' is 'I love you' from a male speaker since the words, 'Boku' and 'Kimi' are only spoken by male Japanese. Female and formal version is the well-known 'Watashi' and 'Anata' for 'I' and 'You', respectively.
