Furthermore, they also told us just a little about their impression of carrying their new song around the Nationwide Zepp Tour from July 24th.
----EMTG: This work “Lady” Yonghwa have done the songwriting, it’s a modern rock tune with an impressive disco style that has a dashing feels melody.
Jung Yonghwa: I made “Lady” by mixing the old style music with the recent style music. If you try to listen to the old dance songs, there are a lot of good songs. I made this kind of song because I think that there’s a point like returning to the old style recently.
----EMTG: What kind of thought did all members have?
Lee Jonghyun: When I listened to it for the first time, I thought it was a great song.
Kang Minhyuk: For me, I thought “this song would likely be an exciting song in the live stage”. This song originally has 2 types of rhythms; both of it were good. In the end, it became the one-key disco; however I thought it was also simple and good.
Lee Jungshin: Like what Minhyuk has said when we were choosing from 2 types, I said “isn’t that the disco one better because the mood is exciting?” practically the mood is really exciting, and from now on I will really looking forward to do it at the live performances.
----EMTG: What things did you pay attention to when you do the recording?
Kang Minhyuk: I thought on how should I do to link the exciting light rhythm in the performance. Also, I was careful not to pause when moving parts.
Lee Jungshin: We took a long time because it was a recording which was done while discussing about many things. My bass phrase was suddenly been changed, I recorded while adding the arrangement. But I think it was made with fun and went well.
Lee Jonghyun: I was also able to record comfortably because I got into the guitar rhythm easily.
Jung Yonghwa: About the song, I sang while enjoying it because it’s a fun rhythm.
----EMTG: The lyric is an adult-like, which describes the way of a man approaching a woman.
Jung Yonghwa: It’s not that I wrote it because of this occasion especially, but I wondered if it fit the mood of the song or not, then I wrote the lyrics of approaching a woman from the man side first.
----EMTG: The male main character is really aggressive, but how is it comparing to the real you all? (Laugh)
Lee Jungshin: I’m not aggressive like this. So I think, let’s just get satisfied with clinging myself in Yonghwa Hyung who singing this kind of lyric (laugh).
Kang Minhyuk: Me, I think it’s different based on time. There’s time when I’m aggressive and also there’s time when I’m passive.
Lee Jungshin: You are? Cute guy (laugh).
Lee Jonghyun: I think me also the same. I’m aggressive and also passive depends on the partner.
Jung Yonghwa: Me, I’m the type who will express when I think I like it. As I thought, I think there’s a part in me that similar to the men of the main character because I’m writing the lyric. (Laugh)
----EMTG: 2nd song “Don’t Care” is expressing gratefulness to the fans right?
Jung Yonghwa: At first when the song is done, when thinking about the lyric, suddenly I wanted to write about our gratefulness toward our fans.
----EMTG: How was the recording?
Kang Minhyuk: The recording was done well because it’s really a good song. For me personaly, I think this is the best song in between of what have recorded so far. It also felt really good when i played the drums.
Lee Jungshin: We just play along with because it’s a simple song. I think i drank 3,4 of chocolate milk during the recording.
Kang Minhyuk: Story (Note: I think it refers to Jungshin’s answer), did you make it?
Lee Jungshin: I did not, it’s the truth! (laugh)
Lee Jonghyun: This song in the beggining was an acoustic-ish song. While recording, We tried to insert a strong sound by using distortion and it took us about 3,4 hours. But in the end, we went back to the first sound because it felt better (laugh).
----EMTG: 3rd song Monday a reggae style rhythm which is an impressive song, isnt it?
Jung Yonghwa: Right. At first, I tried to make a reggae style rhythm by using the accoustic guitar, but because there were also many acoustic guitars in the song that I made for JUNIEL, I played it by changing with an electric guitar.
----EMTG: Please tell us if there’s an impressive episode during the recording.
Jung Yonghwa: (look at Jungshin) I think, How many bottles of chocolate milk did He drink this time? (all laughing)
Lee Jungshin: There isn’t any episode such as this in particular, but the tentative title of the demo song was reggae as it is (laugh).
----EMTG: Jonghyun, was the back cutting guitar the characteristic of reggae rhythm hard?
Lee Jonghyun: No, not really (laugh). It was a rhythm that I like.
Jung Yonghwa: It was a bit hard for me (laugh).
----EMTG: Well, the Zepp Tour of 5 city nationwide will be starting soon! Lastly, Please send a a few messages at a time to the readers!
Kang Minhyuk: Now we’re on the middle of our World Tour, but because we are preparing the stage which is different with the World Tour, please looking forward to it.
Lee Jonghyun:This time also as usual we’re preparing so hard. Let’s make a good live together!
Jung Yonghwa: New songs, and also I want to do the music that you all haven’t heard until now.
Lee Jungshin: Like Yonghwa Hyung said now, It’s a set list which incorporate the old song that the fans wanted to hear but couldn’t listen to, also this new songs, etc. The Arena Tour and World Tour so far, if I had to say, it was a concert which like running through in an energetic rock style. Zepp tour, comparing to those, I think it will be a soft concert. However, it won’t be a boring concert, certainly I want you all to come.
Lee Jonghyun: Jungshin, (the message) it’s long..... (all laughing).
NOTE: please do a proper credit when taking out. English is not my 1st language so sorry for bad grammar or mistake.
