Boybands are definitely a serious issue

Last Christmas by Exile has leaked and I find it excellent! I like the way it sounds in Japanese! (Just the beggining is too cheezy.)
Actually, I was seeking for more information on Exile when I came across this blog entry:

It's from August 2008 and it is an analysis

I have had Exile's Last Christmas on repeat since downloading it a little while ago. I absolutely LOVE that song, and hearing it in Japanese is an absolute kick. Am so glad they didn't try to change the song up, make it more funky etc. The song doesn't need to be messed with.

George Michael is an amazing songwriter, and while this Christmas number may be possibly the cheesiest song he ever wrote, it is still one of the finest Christmas pop songs ever written. GAH! I LOVED Wham. Their final concert at the old Wembley Stadium was the first concert I ever went to. I was 9 and my dad took me! *DYING*

You've seen Wham live? Woah! That sounds amazing! So young, with your dad! What a memory! <33
Yeah! Exile didn't mess with the song. Good! :3

*giggling* yep. Father-daughter trip to London. I still remember it very clearly! We stayed in The Sheraton Hotel in posh Mayfair, and my dad brought me a super cute outfit for the concert. It was a blue puff ball dress, white and blue frilly socks, and white patent shoes. There are pictures in one of my parents photo albums. *FACE PALMS*.

He helped me paint a big huge banner too that read THANK YOU AND GOODBYE WHAM!

Oh, God....*embarrassed*. It was SO exciting at the time though!

Oh you've listened to it? I'm hearing great reviews already but I still remain a tad skeptical cuz I keep listening to the WHAM! version.

LOL OMG O-TOWN.. I haven't heard about them in agesssss and the fact that you mentioned them just cracked me up big time XD

[veessentielle]

Okay, forget what I said! I've absolutely love it even while I'm listening to it for the first time. The melody is still there and the lyrics are bittersweet <3

[marilena_r]

:D
Now, you remind me that I should search for a translation of the lyrics soon!

[marilena_r]

It's very similar to the wham version. You should listen to it!

You knew O-Town? Are they famous? It's the first time I hear about them and it is about their "masturbating song". How cracking is that? XD

I also listened to Exile's Last Christmas and I think no other Japanese artist could pull the japanese version out better than them. I seriously believe that if I wasn't into JE so much I would be a HUGE Exile fangirl (Atsushi <333). About time they recorded this song in japanese! Remember ONE's Greek version? Πέφτει το χιόνι απαλά, οι καμπάνες χτυπούν Χριστούγεννα. Πέρυσι για πρώτη φορά σου χάρισα την καρδιά μου! You should post it here for teh LOLZ though I believe it was quite decent!
You should tell that guy about the JE ero songs though I bet he'll find them too cheesy! The West will never fully appreciate JE greatness!

[marilena_r]

JE sucks your soul, doesn't it? :D But you can fangirl Exile a bit!
Going to search for the One version of Last Christmas...
Nyah! JE ero songs are all but cheezy!

*dl-ing last xmas*

they are going to the studio. They are going to record an album.
oh yeah, great thing that recording version is always better than live :p

[marilena_r]

Yes... the recorded songs are always better. And I have to admit that our music stores are already infected by crap!
It will be very funny if Juke box do RnB. I think it's what they can do decently and they might migh become the Greek DBSK. *rofl*

[jolinar_rosha]

but we did have a boyband, girl. don't you remember One? :-P

[marilena_r]

Yes, I remember them. But there is nothing now...
