Hey guys, so today I wanted to share with you all one of the first set of lyrics I’ve ever done for a song. If you don’t know from my Youtube channel already, I’m a huge fan of k-pop and SHINee is one of my top three favourite groups. In addition to expanding with some k-pop video content on my channel I wanted to start posting more lyrics either from k-pop or jpop in addition to anime series theme songs. It’ll be good practice for my language listening and translation skills.
SHINee is a k-pop boy group consisting of five boys that debuted in 2008 under SM Entertainment. Their members (from left to right in both pictures) are Onew, Jonghyun, Taemin, Minho and Key. I actually got into their music from the j-pop world before I found out they originated as a k-pop group. The lyrics below are for a new song called LOVE from one of SHINee’s newest single packaged albums “Your Number” which comes with a super catchy music video (go watch it online!). I decided to try writing lyrics because I haven’t been able to find proper romanized lyrics to sing along to.
LOVE is an uber cheesy song because it has fairly simple lyrics but a really sweet meaning behind it. I think it really encapsulates all the feelings the members felt standing in Tokyo Dome for the first time where they sang it with a live orchestra. Both the audience and the group were moved to tears and whenever I hear this song it brings me back to those moments as a fan. If you guys are looking for more from SHINee, check out SM Entertainment’s Youtube channel. SHINee is currently promoting their new k-pop album “Odd”, the title track being “View” (music video also online!) and next week (May 25) we will be celebrating their seventh anniversary in a few days since debut. SHINEE FIGHTING!!!
It’s always difficult for me to find time to post additional content besides the usual anime reviews, so I hope you guys enjoy this change of pace and will look forward to the upcoming translations 🙂 Thank you guys so much for reading!

Yes. The fans actually organized themselves to send a message to the group at Tokyo Dome during “LOVE” …. Makes me so proud to be a ShaWol (a fan of SHINee).
What are you pondering today?
