the soundtrack

The five songs you would always want to bring with you and why.

Wow, this was hard to answer. I mean really hard. I have tonnes of favourite music and songs and it was hard to include or exclude some of the songs for this question. Well, here goes.

The first song I pick would have to be, BAY (베이) - Love Again.



This song was the first song that popped in my head when I saw this question. This band is so difficult to follow since there's really limited news about them. The debuted way back in 2007 and still have not released anything new but I personally love their first album, Open The Road. It was amazing, especially this song. Ever since I heard this song, it's been in my playlist since forever. I tend to listen to this song whenever I'm on the road, with my headphones on. It sounds amazing and it always makes me feel well, good and sad at the same time. I really don't know how to describe this but it's been a favourite for a while. And I just love listening to it through my headphones.

Second song, 愛せない愛したい (Aisenai Aishitai) by Tohoshinki.



Yes, I would bring this song with me wherever, whenever. I know, the lyrics are very depressing but to be honest, this was the Tohoshinki I fell in love with. Well, honestly their first album, both Japan and Korean impressed me the most. But yes, the lyrics are depressing but I think the emotions and meaning makes me love this song more and more. It's just so dramatic but lovely at the same time. Plus those music is just guh.

My third choice would be, Sober by Kelly Clarkson.



This song is by far, my favourite by Kelly. It's called sober but it got nothing to do with alcoholism. It's just a metaphor. This song is mainly trying to avoid bad things and you're achieving it. It's just so hypnotic and amazing. When I first heard this song, I actually felt like crying. The arrangement, the guitar, oh god, everything is just amazing. Plus, when Kelly performed this, she sounded amazing. This song is just so different and it's rare. My favourite line would have to be, Picked all my weeds but kept the flowers. That line is so good. You really have to admit, it's a beautiful song, just listen to it's introduction, content and conclusion, it's amazing.

Fourth song, I have to pick Wanted with Lee Jung's Don't go, Don't go, Don't go.



First of all, I have to say, the album was amazing. Each and every song is just worth listening to. Especially this and I Promise You. I don't know where to begin with this song. When I received news that Lee Jung was gonna collaborate with Wanted, I was ecstatic. I was so happy I couldn't contain myself. This song is just well, the lyrics were well written and the arrangement is amazing. Plus, those voices from Wanted and Lee Jung, it became one of my favourite song all time. You have to listen to understand.

The last song is, Do Your Best by Seigaku, the Tenimyu Cast.



I know, they may not be the most amazing singers out there but I don't know why but I have personal love for this song. Maybe it's because I really like each and everyone of them or maybe this song is just a really good musical song. I don't know. It's just really fun and light. It's also really nice to listen to when you are down because it's just I don't know. It's also amazing because Yanagi is in this. Eventhough, he was involved in that accident but it's really amazing cause he doesn't give up and is still performing. To be honest, this cast is just AWESOME! I also love two versions of this, I love the Dream Live 3rd version and this version, the Hyotei Imperial Match (05) To be honest, while watching the third Dream Live, I cried, buckets! But, no matter what people say, I still think this song is amazing!

There goes. Haha. It took well, shorter than I expected but still it was still hard not to include any songs from ONE OK ROCK or TRAX or Super Junior or Ayumi Hamasaki but yeah, I think I would be okay with this songs. :)

till then.
