Good news: I'm working on Bolero both practicing and coming up with the score.
Bad news: It's one of the toughest songs to play and I won't release it until the official single has been released.

It's funny how much speculation has been going about on whether or not Jaejoong sang the word "Bolero" or "boh-leh" or whatever you think he sang. The official single isn't even released yet! It's OK to not have the title song in a song.

However, I must admit that Bolero is the best single released so far. In fact, it is very similar to Love in the Ice in many ways.

The chords are almost identical except for some parts, the vocal arrangements for the verses, choruses and ad-libs are very much the same and Yoochun hasn't hit that high note since Love in the Ice performance in Soul Power Live 2007 (excluding LITI Korean version). The fact that Junsu took the lead in the bridge with the rest of them ad-libbing just shows that Tohoshinki is here to stay for a very long time.

Hearing them sing this song Live would be f-awesome but the length of the song isn't your normal 4-minute radio friendly song. With so much emotion and feeling being put into Bolero, one wonders when did the men find time to practice such gruelling vocal demand despite their hectic schedule travelling back and forth Korea and Japan.

The introduction alone is not your normal song introduction. Instead, it fades in with Junsu singing the first verse immediately. Unless, there is the 'complete' version waiting to be released? There are a lot of strings that are being used but the main instrument I would say, is the harp that provides the ethereal, almost angelic-like mood to the song. The harp makes the song sound dreamy as depicted in the PV where the girl (who also happens to star in THSK's "Shine" PV) dreams of becoming a ballerina? The time signature of compound duple ( note: 6/8) gives is a waltz feel to the song.

I don't tend to read the meaning of the song in English but it is surprising to me that when I first read about Bolero, I was thinking of a more upbeat song like "Box in the Ship". The song title was definetely unexpected. It's funny that they came up with the title because of the dance-nature of the song. It kinda 'tricked' listeners into thinking of a happy song when in fact, it is a song about dreams and hope.

Is there anything that you like or don't like with the song, or title, or anything with Bolero?

I now will return to completing this song before I work on their 4th album - MIROTIC songs. Bolero got me hooked. XD

First of all, I wanna say thank you to everyone that has supported this site and stood by me even though I've been on hiatus for the longest time.

Considering that the TVXQ Piano site has been un-updated, I suspect that there are links that are probably dead or not working. If you encounter any problems with the links, please add a comment in this entry stating which link is dead and on which server ( 4shared or Mediafire). That would be very helpful indeed.

As for the update, this is the score that was most wanted while I was on hiatus..

This is also a birthday present for the hottest and sexiest twins in Asia

Kim Junho and Kim Junsu!!!

Have a blessed birthday with many more fawesome birthdays to come!!

As a musician, it saddens me that the creative team behind the awesome songs that are written for TVXQ are not given the recognition that they deserve. Therefore, I have compiled this list off their new album - MIROTIC. I still have empty slots...anyone care to help me complete the list?  Edit: Thank you to [info]kahel_luna  and [info]boopooh  for filling it out! =)

On to the list...thank you to... )

Hello all. I know some of you are self-taught musicians. Some of you are keen to learn but under certain circumstances are not able to. So, here I am, trying to help you in the best way possible.

Theory 101 is another section in this site where I try my best to teach you note recognition, note reading, things that you need to know to learn the basics of music. Examples that are used will be based on TVXQ's music (coz that's what this site is all about).

If you have any questions at all pertaining to the chapters or the things that you want to know but I have not uploaded on, feel free to email me HERE or leave a comment here and ask away! I would be glad to help if time lets me ^____^

Notes on your keyboard )Let's get to know the notes on the keyboard



Music notes are fairly simple. There's only 7 white notes and 5 black notes in one octave. An octave means the interval between any two notes that are 7 diatonic scale degrees apart (eg: C--C' , D--D').

 
 


The clear-faced notes are your white notes, while the black-faced notes are your black-notes. ^___^


Note names Treble & Bass clef Descending )
Examples )
It will be good practice if you take any song (doesn't have to be TVXQ song >///< ) and just familiarize yourself with the notes on the music sheet and on the keyboard. Learn one hand at a time first. Get to know your notes on different octaves. 

Remember, if there is something that you don't understand or what to find out more, don't hesitate to email me HERE or post your questions to this entry. It would be helpful if it is here so that future visitors can be directed to the answers if the question has been posed before. 

Next chapter: Key signature and note values.
 
 
I'm feeling: optimistic

Monica shared this with me in an e-mail, and it put me in a totally new perspective of things in regards to TVXQ's Beautiful You PV.

Warning: Deep meanings of video ahead.

Credits to pinkshades@soompi + monica

REPRESENTING FEMALE BEAUTY in the BEAUTIFUL YOU PV

I know some people are disappointed with the PV, but I... REALLY... like it. Haha, and not just because the boys looked sexy (when are they ever NOT?? wink.gif)but because... I absolutely loved how they presented the "woman" in the video.

As an English major... you're taught to read into things... and well, I can't help but think that this PV is an excellent example of METONYMY. Metonymy is when part of something is used to represent the whole. (Ex. "all hands on deck" doesn't literally mean hands on the shipdeck, but the hands imply the whole person, or people on deck.)

Anyway, when you think about the PV again... you realize you don't see the woman completely. You don't even get to see her face. All you see is her hand under the running tapwater... Her feet in her shoes... The nape of her neck... Her hand grasping a necklace... Yet, despite not being able to see the whole picture of the "woman," there's still no doubt in your mind that the woman being sung about IS beautiful. These "beautiful" parts of her (as shown by the individual camera shots) are what represent her "BEAUTY" as a whole.

I absolutely love that. I LOVE that you don't get to see her face.

In a world where a woman's beauty is identified most by her "looks" - ie. her face, the proportion of her body, her makeup - this PV is almost suggesting that what makes a woman beautiful are NOT the aesthetics, but just the little things... like the curve of your hand... the smoothness of your neck... the line of your feet... those simple things are what make a Beautiful Woman, not all that other stuff.

end.

I told you it was deep. I'll never look at Beautiful You PV the same way again like I did before.

Beautiful Life
Beautiful Thing
Beautiful You

Doesn't it give you the feeling that the boys will SO worship their woman? 

This song reflects their maturity in genres. Their voices are much more 'seasoned' comparing to their 1st Japanese Single : Stay with me Tonight; which has the same 'flavor' as Beautiful You. 

The guitar plays an important role in this song. It opens the song and then remains very subtle-ly in the background when the verses and choruses come in. But, it is never lost and gives that Spanish/Flamenco taste. The bass grooves the whole song extremely well, coupled with the funky drum-beats, it spells L.O.V.E.

Jae in the 1st verse..I don't think I've ever heard him sing such low registers. The vocal arranger should give him more of those ranges. It just makes him sound so sexy! XD Yunho's pipes are definitely getting better and better each time. It sounds whispery but strong in the high registers.*melts*  It's suprising that he once use to be lost in the backgrounds of it all. I also notice that they do a lot of vibratos (vibrations) for this song. Junsu comes out very strong in his part in the 2nd chorus. LOVE that pull to the top note. *hearts* 

I reckon that Min and Chun should have been given more prominent parts. Both of them has improved LOADS and should be given more main parts. JaeSu should be given a break. And, I mean this in a good way. But, Min's ad-libs in the last chorus...*smacks lips*...lush!

The harmonies at the end...it really tells us that, "Hey! We're still a chorus group! Our harmonies rock!" 

A plus-point is that they are now pronouncing English without much problems [ie: BeautiFul and not  BeautiPul]. If only their spoken english would be as accurate. XD

This has been on my repeat list for 30 times (and counting...) I just hope I can find time to transcribe this. I'm not even done with their T.R.I.C.K Singles yet. 

Gomen.... >_____<

Edit:

I didn't really get the whole sombre-mood of the PV where they individually were sitting or standing or standing narcissist-ly in front of the mirror. XD  I personally think that some direct, human, LADY / WOMAN interaction would have been a better storyline. I know Cassiopeias would just go beserk at any female to come in direct contact with our boys, but it would have really made more sense to the song. The boys sitting down and just singing their hearts out about a beautiful woman...it just didn't make any clear sense to me. 

However, the dance sequences obviously suited the whole mood of the song better. 

Edit 2:

To JaeChun a.k.a SoulMate

Jae, why do you always get nice boots, but the rest gets nice shoes?

Chun, having an unbuttoned shirt doesn't distract us from the hideous blond ends of your hair.

To open scores that are in [.rar], you need WinRAR Programme to open. Get it HERE

To download the piano scores, follow the following steps: (The following example shows the Korean section. Downloading methods apply to the Japanese section as well)

I've created this special FAQ. I really hope this will be the answer to all your questions ranging from downloading to the scores itself. Note: I have personally downloaded all the scores that I uploaded on 4shared, and ALL of them WORK ABSOLUTELY FINE. Update (31st March 2008): I have further 'spoiled' you by uploading all piano scores on Mediafire as well. >____<

IF YOU TAKE OUT MY TRANSCRIPTIONS/mp3, AT LEAST GIVE PROPER CREDITS (Lina26435@tvxqpianoLJ ). PLEASE.

1) Where do I get piano scores / mp3s?

For piano scores, go to http://tvxqpiano.livejournal.com/tag/pianoscores
For mp3, go to http://tvxqpiano.livejournal.com/tag/pianomp3


2) How do I download them?

Downloading Piano Scores

I have categorized the Piano Scores according to albums and 'others' as their repertoire keeps growing. Click on the server that think will work best for you. Files are now uploaded on 4shared and Mediafire.

Then, you click on the title that you want to download (for ex: Forever Love). Usually, another window will pop-up where you download your selected file. (Please make sure that your pop-up blocker is deactivated)

For graphic explanation, go HERE

Downloading Piano Versions [mp3]

I have categorized the Piano Versions in 2 sections. Click "Korean" OR "Japanese" . This will bring you to the default server [4shared.com].

Then, you click on the title that you want to download (for ex: Forever Love). Usually, another window will pop-up where you download your selected file. (Please make sure that your pop-up blocker is deactivated)

Note: If [4shared.com] does not work, you may click on the alternative links next to the song.

Example: Forever Love {MF} {SS}

For graphic explanation, go HERE


3) Why can't I view the file that I've downloaded?

- If you have downloaded the file type of RAR, then you need the WinRAR application to open the file. (example: Anyband, Beautiful Thing). WinRAR opens both RAR and ZIP files anyway so, it's a good application to get. 
Get WinRAR Programme HERE

- If it's the PDF file, make sure your Adobe Acrobat Reader is Version 6.0 and above.


4) I HAVE Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 6.0, but my file still won't open.

Most probably your Acrobat Reader version does not support Asian Languages. Because some scores are traded from Korean sites, they have Korean encryptions or some thingamajig that only certain Acrobat versions can open. I'm not sure how to help you in this area.


5) Why are some of your files only right-hand with chord symbols?

That was my initial transcriptions. If you have already downloaded and have trouble reading the chords, I have already created a tutorial which can be viewed here.

I am currently arranging the left-hand for those transcriptions that I had earlier but this will take me a while. I do not gurantee that I will produce it soon but that doesn't mean I won't do it either.

Update: All scores/transcriptions are WITH LH unless stated otherwise.


6) Why don't you have "this-song" / Can you please upload the score of "this-song"?

I don't have it because I just don't. Trust me. I look for their scores as much as you do. I hunt for their scores high and low. If the score that you're looking for is not in the list, you can request for it but it will take me time to fulfill your request because most piano transcriptions are done by me. And I'm now in the midst of school..so...rushing me is NOT.COOL.

Therefore, I do take in request but I do not promise immediate fulfillment.


7) Do you have non-TVXQ scores?

Unfortunately, this site is dedicated to only TVXQ. I do not do other transcriptions nor do I have other scores.


8) Do you have the files on another server?

Update: All piano scores are now available on 4shared and Mediafire.


9) 4shared / Mediafire gives me an IP error. What do I do?

Most probably you're downloading too many scores simultaneously. Just wait a few minutes and then click the 'refresh' button on your web browser. It should work normally. If 4shared / Mediafire is being pissy, give it a couple of days to resume back to its normal self.


10) Do I need to sign-up on 4shared / Mediafire to download the scores / mp3?

No. It's a simple procedure. And a simple practice of patience. DO NOT download more than 3 files simultaneously. It'll just screw up the server and that is why you'll be prompted to signup to 4shared / Mediafire.

Dear all,

I recently went to my 4shared file where all the scores and mp3s are saved [because I accidentally wiped out my own collection. >_____<  ] .

Anywayz, it was only then, that I saw your comments. First and foremost, let me thank you for your comments on the 4shared download page. I never knew about it until now. So, thank you again. Some comments left me amused. "Are these piano scores?" Some, left me peeved. "Can you upload a [.pdf] version instead?". And some, well, were very vague . "I have problems with my file. Can you please send it to me?"

Rant #1: This site offers piano scores for TVXQ Scores Only. I have a team working with me and we're trying to offer more than just piano scores. We're planning on expanding to A Cappella scores, as well as guitar scores and Vocal+piano accompaniment scores. Of course, all this take time. With me back to school, I can only allocate a certain amount of time in a week to do more transcriptions. 

Rant #2: I do my transcriptions using Finale. And this program let's me save the score in TIFF file only. After saving it in TIFF file, I then convert it to JPEG file, then I [.zip] the file. I use to convert it to PDF but that site was shut down. From now onwards, all scores done by Lina26435 will only be in [.zip] format. If it is otherwise, it means I got it from somewhere else or traded with someone. Please understand the circumstances. If I had the time, I would have seriously converted it to any format you desire. Unfortunately, God has only granted a standard time to humans a day = 24 hours. Give me your time so that I can have 25 hours? >______<

Rant #3: What problems exactly are you having? What error message does 4shared show you? I'm still considered new at this because this site is barely a year old, and we troubleshoot according to your needs. Please be specific so that we can help you. Sending the scores to you personally..hmm..I use to do that because the community was small. It's growing day by day and I'm very thankful for that. But, I just need time. We all need time.

I apologize if this sounds bitchy but I got peeved [blame it on PMS, girls] . I had to get this out in the clear. *sigh*. I don't know whether I should feel better after getting this off my chest, or I should feel bad because it's gonna drive people away.

Nevertheless, thank you all for your support and love. I know I haven't been updating lately, but I'm really trying to fit in some time for my transcriptions. Plus, transcribing things has its moods. Unfortunately, I'm slowly losing it. >,<

 Edit: I have downloaded and check every single score and it's working ABSOLUTELY FINE. But, I think I know what kinda problems that some are facing. Therefore, I'll put it in the FAQ. That way, they can't claim that they were not informed. FAQ is HERE

OMG OMG OMG!!! I'm totally totally SO MADLY IN LOVE with this version!!!  The band, the music, the boys' vocals...*swoons* Therefore, I HAVE TO review this!!!

I am extremely impress by the boys' vocals!

Let's talk about the band first. I never knew the keyboardist would be so ....I don't know..hippy-ish. The hair was just really funky. XD Hahahaha..that was what caught my attention first. And even though once the boys started singing, the camera didn't focus much on keyboardist-san, but I could hear the lines that he played. It didn't overshadow their singing, but melodious enough to create the accompanying effect. Almost similar to the lines in the original recording, but his solo part was completely different. Simpler in fact. But, after the bridge part, his build-up, *wow*. Those glissandos...it really adds the building up effect without interfering with the strong vocals by THSK. And the drummer and bassist, really kept it going even though it's just a ballad. I especially liked drummer-san's fill in before the 2nd chorus. It caught me by surprise. It sounded like a disco rhythm fill in at first. XD The string line was repetative in each chorus. It's the same line.. 

The lights....brilliant! To just focus on each member during their parts is just brilliant. Not only it created the sombre mood but also the entire atmosphere and feel of the song.

Tohoshinki. What can I say. The vocalists who really gave me goosebumps were Yoochun, Yunho and Changmin, in no particular order. I'm not bias or anything. I love all of them to bits, but these 3 really blew me away. Did you guys notice how powerful HoMin's vocals were? Their harmonies were spot on too! And the bridge part...*faints* ...Even though you could hear the strain in JaeSu's vocals, but ChunHoMin really made up for it. Seriously..when do you ever hear Yoochun going so high to THAT note, THAT strongly?? Yunho as well...for a bass singer to go up to that note so strongly and clear (not falsetto, mind you), it's really impressive. We could actually listen to their improvements. 

This is on my repeat list...and I don't think I'll ever get bored of it. I'm also making it a point to watch this video every night...Hahahahaha...out of obsession of the whole thing.

OK...TWO reviews in a day is something unheard of, but I'm currently really hooked to TWO HEARTS AND IF...?

For Junsu's single, it's very electronic with a catchy bass riff which makes this song memorable. A lot of synthsized parts. IMO, Certain sounds are quite similar to the sounds from Choosey Lover. We all know in Trick, Su's part was taken from Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal. >,<  Anywayz...

I totally admire Yunho and Changmin's falsetto in If...? Min's falsetto in the 1st verse, and Ho's in the 2nd. After listening to this track, I dare say that Yunho's vocal range is the widest amongst all 5 of them. He can go really high (falsetto-wise), and his really low bass voice.  

My personal favorite would be the part where Su tries to scat. {Re: Scat = singing in non-sensical syllables}. He must have wanted to try it for sometime since he said he'd love to try jazz someday. Scatting is a form of jazz singing style back in the 1930s (?) . Anyone remember the horrendous Scatman?? That was when scatting was brought back. >,<

You'll remember this song after the 1st time listening to it. Then, you'll start singing along after the 2nd time! The ending is a bit abrupt, but it kinda shows that there's more to If...? [ Jae's single Close to You comes next....}  

:Edit:

While I was transcribing this and putting in the lyrics..is it me, or is Junsu's line "If you say so girl, you say 'Sou ja mata ne" a gag?? O_O

I fell in love with this song the minute I heard it. It's very R&B. A little bit like Brian McKnight. A little bit of smooth jazz too. Can someone tell me who the composer and lyricist are for their T.R.I.C.K Singles?? I love the idea that Changmin was given to do the lead in this. Reminds us of the time he sang When I First Kissed You. 

In fact, all the boys manage to pull this one off very nicely. Their harmonies are soulful, to the extent  of whispery at times, which gives us the warm,fuzzy feeling. The R&B beat gives us a very laid-back but groovy feeling. It's something that we would wanna hear while chilin' out. My guess is that the composer could have probably composed this for the boys seeing their interest in groups like Boys II Men (We all know how much our boys adore the group).

In the intro, the groove is established and Yunho grabs our attention with his smooth-low vocals. Loved Yunho's falsetto at the end of the first verse too. The vocal arranger is a genius in a sense that, he arranged for all the boys to introduce their vocals in the first verse itself, which isn't really frequent in TVXQ songs.  

The chorus have harmonies by JaeHo O_O with Jae on the high and Ho on the low. Then, in the 2nd verse, vocals of YooSu (1st half), and JaeHo (2nd half). Is it me or did the vocal arranger did this 'couple arrangement' by sheer coincidence? Our 2 favorite couples simultaneously in the 2nd verse!! 

I can't make out who sang the high part when Changmin sang lead in the chorus though. What do you reckon?
