Do you hear the wind whispering?
That moment -as if a miracle has just happened- when the female body brings forth complex and subtle curves, when light and shadow duel, when meat and bones dance in competition... in that moment, I wonder, "what in the world was I looking at before?"

PostHeaderIcon An Update of Eastern Melodies

11:25 PM | Posted by neko | Edit Post
Music by Kyoko Taide on deviantart


A little note: Hello to all our readers!
We have not posted anything in a long time, because of a series of personal and professional issues that take most of our time. But now things seem to be coming back to normal, so we hope to update The Beautiful World more oftenly.

This time we won't go deep into any issue, but rather give emphasis on five beautiful songs from Japan and Korea, hoping that they will make your days and nights beautiful. All of the bands presented here compose great music, so we suggest you search more of their songs.

The Gazette - Cassis


Probably the heaviest song posted here. The Gazette are one of the most pleasant modern rock bands of the planet, but they are not just noise and aggression. What I truly like about them -and about this song- is how well they combine their melodies with the hard and heavy part of their music. The japanese lyrics give that kind of music an exotic feeling that it usually lacks.

Morning Musume - Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari


Probably the band that I personally like the least, yet I think this song and videoclip flatters them greatly. What a great concept -the different stereotypes and personalities women hold in their everyday lives, presented here with such a catchy tune.

Ak48 - Aitakatta


This is one of the stuff I truly love in Japanese music. Taking something completely cliche and kitch and turning it into a special piece of art. What other country could produce a band of 48 young girls who dance and sing love songs in their school uniforms? What other people could be so creative?

Arashi - Love so Sweet


This is probably the lovey-dovey addition to this post, but The Beautiful world is also a lovey dovey blog. There is a special place in our heart for songs that can make up our days and Arashi are experts when it comes to this. Probably the only boy band around the world that makes me want to dance all night long. This is one of their most popular songs and is of course dedicated to my lovely Kitsune.

Girl's Generation - Girl's Generation


My favorite addition, Girl's Generation, also known as or simply SNSD, are the only group in this post whose origins are Korean. The quality of their music is extremely high and it was very hard to choose which song to add, since there are so many great hits out there (Gee, Oh!, Echo, Hahaha Song, etc.).
