On July 7, beast released the second prelude song "I'm Sorry" of its second regular album.

The song "I'm Sorry" is the second prelude song released by beast after "Is It Okay". It is also the same as "Is It Okay". This song is a lyric song. The realistic lyrics of being good to each other and missing each other are even more empathetic.

When it comes to the second introductory song, it is inevitable to mention the first introductory song "Is it okay" that made beast the king of sound sources, which is the first introductory song released before it. With excellent results, the public is looking forward to but not expecting the newly released second introductory song this time.

The so-called "expectation" is naturally looking forward to hearing the new song; while the so-called "not expecting" is because the previous song's performance was too high and I don't have too much expectation for this performance, I just feel that I can't surpass "Is it okay" This mountain made by themselves.

In fact, the sound source performance has never been too much to worry about for beast, which is known as the "Trust Listening Group". It seems that the result of the newly released second song "I'mSorry" is good or bad, and there is nothing to make people fuss about—— Of course, for many passers-by who never think it’s a big deal to watch the excitement, the barren response is naturally more to their liking than the pursuit of thousands of people, which is the so-called mentality of seeing other people’s disasters as their own joy.

Fortunately, beast did not let these people see the joke as they wished.

Although the peak of "It's Okay" was already there before, the sound source performance of "I'm Sorry" is not far behind.

Only a few hours after the sound source was released, the distinctive name "I'mSorry" landed on the top of the major music source charts, and it faintly showed a state of standing, far ahead of the No.2 song too much .

Later, "I'm Sorry" even brought up the song "It's Okay", which had dropped out of the top three and ranked about sixth or seventh on the music source charts, pushing it to No.3 in one fell swoop. In the end, it even replaced the original No.2, only after "I'm Sorry", which is really astonishing.

On July 7th, taking advantage of the momentum of these two prelude songs, beast finally released its second regular album "Hardtolove, Howtolove", and released the mv of its title song "Shadow".

=========================================

"Honey, are you still busy?  …

I?I just came out of the company, and now I am walking towards the bus stop..."

It was 08:30 in the evening, neither too early nor too late. There were not as many people on the street as during rush hour, but it was not as if there were no one there.

The girl dressed in a white collar was holding her mobile phone and walking towards the bus stop 500 meters away. Even if she didn't listen to the content of her call, she could tell from her sweet smile that the person on the phone must be her favorite lover.

"Honey, let me tell you, today..."

The words came to an abrupt end here, the girl turned around in amazement holding her mobile phone, and there was nothing but an empty road behind her, "Strange, I clearly heard someone calling my name..."

Although it was midsummer, the gentle evening breeze still made the girl shrink her neck unconsciously, "Ah, dear, let me tell you..."

The nervous girl didn't notice that the shadow under her body fluctuated strangely the moment she turned her head back. Although the suddenly elongated black shadow was still moving close to her, the clear shape clearly showed that It wasn't a girl's shadow—thin, tall, obviously, it was a man's shadow.

…………

It was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the flickering lights of the TV sprinkled on the girl's beautiful face, disturbing her sweet dreams, and she unconsciously frowned her beautiful eyebrows.

The quilt on her body had slipped to the ground, and the girl curled up on the not-so-big sofa and slept unsteadily.

She was waiting for her boyfriend who worked overtime to come back, but she didn't want him to come back much later than expected. She couldn't hold on and fell asleep on the sofa like this, obviously extremely sleepy.

In a trance, the quilt that fell to the ground gently covered her body again, and the low air conditioner was also adjusted to a suitable temperature. The girl's frowning brows finally eased, but after a while, she didn't sleep well. She who was familiar with her suddenly opened her eyes in panic, and sat up immediately. After looking around very quickly, she cautiously called "Dear", but no one responded...

It wasn't until then that the girl realized something was wrong. She grabbed the phone tremblingly, but found that no matter how she pressed it, or even tapped it, the phone still didn't move.

It was an unspoken fear, a fear of the unknown.

The desperate girl just wanted to escape from this terrible place immediately, but just as she got up, the TV that was playing commercials suddenly shone brightly and enveloped her in it, and in the end, only endless black.

The black that occupies the entire screen becomes smaller and smaller until it reveals its original appearance—a strange black apple.

The round black apple fell to the ground, and there was a faint cry of despair and pain. At this time, a white and slender hand appeared in the camera to pick it up.

The screen moved up, and Zhang Xiansheng's expressionless face appeared on the screen.

He held the black apple and watched it for a long time, and finally the mv ended with a frozen smile at the corner of his mouth - beast "shadow".

【Always be with you like a shadow

your beautiful smile shines on me

Because I`ma Shadow

ShadowShadow】

=========================================

"This mv...is a little scary..."

"Wow, it's creepy after watching it..."

"But the song is good! Looking forward to the first stage!!"

"After reading the plot, I thought it was a story about a girl who fell in love with a shadow and guarded her. Second, I found that I was too naive. Many small details in the MV are related to the Bible, and the black apple at the end and Xian Sheng who appeared on the scene are clearly the same. Echoing the teaser..."

"Wait for the big touch analysis, now I will concentrate on brushing the tubing!"

"The second album is really conscientious! Every song is super nice and awesome!! And have you found out! Every lyrics and song is created by Long Junheng!!! Why is Long pd so good!!"

…………

As the fan found out, Long Junhyung was the songwriter and producer of all the songs included in the album, and Yoon Changsu, who was originally in charge of the project, also took a back seat. But just to give some opinions, this is because Long Junheng has become a very good producer now.

As soon as Beast officially returned, it showed the demeanor of a king. The eight songs included in the album all slaughtered the music source charts. One of the four music broadcasts of "Inkigayo" and "mcountdown", overwhelming several girl groups that returned at the same time.

Also because of beast's overbearing comeback attitude, apink, who returned with "Secret Garden" on the 20th,

As well as the AOA band subunit AOABlack, which returned on the same day as them, and f(x), which returned with its second official album "PinkTape" on the 29th, they could only look up to their achievements afterwards and did not earn much. attention.

It is worth mentioning that the returning AOA subunit AOAblack and f(x) are two girl groups.With the third Korean single album "MOYA", AOAblack returned to the music scene for the first time in the form of a band. When it comes to the girl group AOA, it was originally another girl band launched by FNC after bonsoir.To say that FNC has also successfully created the two bands ftisland and cnblue. Although it is the first time to promote a girl band, it is still a band. It is better than a family with no experience at all, but bonsoir is popular. AOA can only embark on the road of changing styles.So this time the small group's return in the form of a band may not be the last test for the public - if it fails, I'm afraid that AOA will really change its style completely and become a singing and dancing girl group.

As for f(x), which returned with its second official album "PinkTape", in the words of fans, it can be regarded as a breakthrough. It has received S/M's attention once, and it is f(x)'s most conscientious album since its debut.Producers such as Erik Lewander, StenIggyStrangeDahl, Kenzie, and hitchhiker are in charge of composing lyrics and music for the album, and Dana, a member of the same company Tianshang Zhixi, participated in the lyrics of the song "NoMore".Group member Liu Yiyun (Amber) also participated in the writing and composition of "Goodbye Summer", which tells the story of men and women who like each other as time goes by, and regret when they recall the past because they failed to express their emotions.

Although this album was selected into the "2013 Albums You Can't Miss in 41" by FuseTV in the United States, and it was the only album selected in Korea and Asia in 2013, it was completely suppressed at this time, but after all, it was well produced. , it didn't end as dismal as the AOA team, and the results were good at last, but it's a pity that they didn't get one.

At this time, in the Japanese music scene, apart from tara, which did not make a big splash earlier, on July 7, SuperJunior also returned to Japan with its first official Japanese album "Hero", and won the Japanese Oricon public trust in one fell swoop. Topping the daily album chart, and even winning the RIAJ Gold Award for album sales certification from the Recording Association of Japan.

A few days after the return of beast, the family also publicly announced that its artist iu Li Zhien will no longer be the host of SBS's "Inkigayo" program, thus ending the 2-year and 4-month hosting work.

It turned out that Tian Duomi would take over the host job for Li Zhien, just to let Li Zhien have a fixed degree of exposure so that he would not be forgotten by the public, just like Zheng Ronghua, Jin Yarong, An Xiyan and others have fixed variety shows. considerations.But now, not only in the singing career, but also in the acting career, Li Zhien has a very high reputation and popularity, and she no longer needs such a schedule to increase her exposure, and even such a schedule has become a problem for her now. Redundant and useless schedules—it is said that things are rare and expensive, and too many newcomers appear in front of the camera to make them familiar, but entertainers and stars with a certain status appear too frequently in front of the camera, but it becomes a waste of favor—— The audience will always get tired of watching one day, and that day is the beginning of a downhill road. Tian Tami naturally put an end to such a situation, and then said goodbye to "Inkigayo" and SBS in a friendly manner. Both the process and the result can be regarded as The host and guest enjoyed themselves, and everyone is happy.

In the fiery July, apart from the return of these folk music circles, it is also worth mentioning that the movie "Original Sin" co-produced by Park Seo Joon and Son Ye Jin was released.

Although the investment cost is not high, the enthusiasm of both the director and the actors is completely inversely proportional to it.At the same time, adhering to the heart that a good movie must never be buried, the producer also tried its best to promote it, and the promotional methods were exhaustive. Of course, the final box office also proved that their efforts were not enough. In vain, as long as the movie is conscientious enough, gold can shine. "Original Sin" was even listed as the best movie of 2013 by film critics——

"Although there are still more than 13 months before the end of 5, I can still confirm that "Original Sin" is the best movie of the year, not one of them. The magic and attraction of this movie is You can find everything you want to see in it, whether it is love, or criticizing the darkness of society, or suspense, or analyzing human nature, etc., you can see everything you expect, and you can also gain something, Every detail of it is worth pondering. It's not just love for love's sake, nor is it just for criticism, nor is it suspense for suspense. It has its own unique rhythm, and this rhythm needs to be understood by yourself. When you leave the movie theater, you will find that your feelings are different from those of others, but it is also a deep understanding, which needs time to digest and settle..."
