  • Super Junior M Releases "Perfection" - The Second Mini Album
    Wednesday, March 2, 2011 @ 8:24 PM | comment (0)

    My favorite Super Junior sub-group is back! Yes, they are. Finally, after more than one year since Hangeng left the group in 2009, the boys of Super Junior M have released another mini album (their second) to follow-up their first, which was a very big hit not just in China, but all over Asia.

    For this album by the way, I'm sure you have heard that they are back as 8 members, with two new additions making the SJ-M family bigger than before. Since Hangeng's departure, the member line-up for the sub-group was left with only six of its original 7 members namely Siwon, Donghae, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, Zhou Mi and Henry. This time, Eunhyuk and Sungmin have joined them, making it a total of 8 people altogether now.

    Are you excited? Hehe. I'm sure Kpop fans know this well. So for this post, I will be presenting the 6 tracks of their mini album titled Perfection. This was released around last week in Taiwan and China, and on March 3rd in Korea. This effort has a regular edition, a special edition with photocards and other things (I'm not really sure of the exact content of this one. LOL!) and a special Korean edition where their title track of the same name has a version not just in Chinese, but also in Korean.

    So are you ready to listen to the songs? I know you are, and I too have been hooked in this album that I have been putting it on replay ever since last week. (Both consciously and unconsciously I guess. ^ ^) Before the songs; however, check out there concept photos for this mini album below! Actually, AVEX Taiwan (their album distributor in the Chinese region) called this new concept "nobility-style" since you can see the boys with prince-like outfits and eccentric head gears. At first, I honestly thought that it was weird and pretty odd, but after seeing the HD music video of their title track Perfection, I was like "OMG! Breathless... *hearts all over* I just died." They were able to pull it off really well.

    Last 2009, they had the masculine concept for Super Girl while they were decked in suits, just like their Sorry, Sorry video if you remember. That video really turned out well, and the song was pretty good and catchy too. It sold a lot all over Asia, and captured hearts of many fangirls (and fanboys too! ^ ^). But this time around, they have become more fierce and the song style and tune have become more aggressive and more tough, which reflects their growing musicality and style over the years. These juniors have really grown up! They should be called Super Senior now, shouldn't they? Anyway, the concept photos for their second mini album are here:

    The world is a lonely castle
    Mutually seeking
    On that day the bugle horns that announce love
    Saw your smile

    I am here and you on the opposite shore, searching
    Days and nights flow away from us

    In this sea of people I stretch out my hand to you
    The courage that makes me want me catch hold of destiny
    Love is a rugged road and I finally can hug you

    Meeting your string of destiny, that split second where I experienced real love
    The strings of destiny of two people, two roads leading to the same end point
    other sights leave no memories
    You are my most beautiful April day
    Every fragment of memories
    Made into the bookmarks of love

    Meeting your string of fate, heaven means being right by your side
    The strings of fate of two people; Happiness is held in the spaces between interlocked fingers
    Through eyecontact there is no need for words
    There is only a need to look towards the other to hear
    A soundless harmony
    Performing forever and never changing
    Every day that I love you

    The merry go round sings a minor D
    Tow good are fairytales
    We do not need the green birds of happiness
    We just need to lean on each other

    I am here and you on the opposite shore, searching
    Days and nights flow away from us

    In this sea of people I stretch out my hand to you
    The courage that makes me want me catch hold of destiny
    Love is a rugged road and I finally can hug you

    Meeting your string of destiny, that split second where I experienced real love
    The strings of destiny of two people, two roads leading to the same end point
    other sights leave no memories
    You are my most beautiful April day
    Every fragment of memories
    Made into the bookmarks of love

    Meeting your string of fate, heaven means being right by your side
    The strings of fate of two people; Happiness is held in the spaces between interlocked fingers
    Through eyecontact there is no need for words
    There is only a need to look towards the other to hear
    A soundless harmony
    Performing forever and never changing
    Every day that I love you

    Every page, there is love's bookmark (in every page there is love's bookmark)
    Every line, forever unchanging (oh~ forever unchanging)

    Meeting your string of destiny, that split second where I experienced real love
    The strings of destiny of two people, two roads leading to the same end point
    Through eyecontact there is no need for words
    There is only a need to look towards the other to hear

    3. LOVE IS SWEET
    Super Junior-M - 太完美 (Perfection) Full 2nd Mini Album. 幸福微甜 (Love Is Sweet) - Written By Jay Chou.


    LYRICS:
    [English Translation]
    This city is noisy at night
    People are like a clock that is fast
    This is not the emotion I want
    Even the cheap makeup is too thick
    This feeling, I do not know how to express it.

    The flashing neon lamps
    Are just like short-lived smiles
    Can you give me one minute
    To quietly communicate with you
    Beloved, I am really not the same as them

    Few words, I am naturally slow and mature
    It is not that I do not wish to hold your hand
    It is just that I am waiting for you to smile and nod
    To you I am gentle

    Please don't blame me for being quiet shy slow, for looking for reasons to hug
    I am really in love with not saying much, being courageous and speaking loudly

    *Happiness goes on show, the drama is mildly sweet and I lightly taste your face
    Happy and prominently we stick to each other('s bodies)
    Happiness does not hide from being suspicious; we live in each other's heart, day by day piling up our longing

    Happiness goes on show, the drama is mildly sweet and I gently taste your face
    The ending is fresh; in the story we will walk together for a long distance
    Going through it perfectly once through, love is fresh from the oven, I lightly bite down on forever

    This city is noisy at night
    People are like a clock that is fast
    This is not the emotion I want
    Even the cheap makeup is too thick
    This feeling, I do not know how to express it.

    The flashing neon lamps
    Are just like short-lived smiles

    Going through it perfectly once through, love is fresh from the oven, I lightly bite down on forever

    Rap

    Whatever you want I actually actually know that love should be held loosely
    On the bicycle pulling against the wind there is no need for red eyes; too much applause is a kind of vanity you know this too
    I do not know how to weave that beautiful dream but I will let you be pampered and the sincerity given will be put to good use

    *Happiness goes on show, the drama is mildly sweet and I lightly taste your face
    Happy and prominently we stick to each other('s bodies)
    Happiness does not hide from being suspicious; we live in each other's heart, day by day piling up our longing

    Happiness goes on show, the drama is mildly sweet and I gently taste your face
    The ending is fresh; in the story we will walk together for a long distance
    Going through it perfectly once through, love is fresh from the oven, I lightly bite down on forever

    5. TRUE LOVE
    Super Junior-M - 太完美 (Perfection) Full 2nd Mini Album. 吹一樣的風 (My All Is In You).

    LYRICS:
    [English Translation]
    The familiar pulse begins to beat again
    The movement of the clouds, the movement outside the car window

    Clouds look like river
    Flowing fast outside the car window
    Which corner of the city are you in now
    want to see the gentle of your smile

    *If back then as a child on the grasslands I had looked back
    You said you loved me and
    I hadn't pretended to not know
    If you could look for me now and
    sing that same song and feel that same wind (same wind)
    I will hold your hand

    Strolling onto the breeze, walking into the sky

    The flowers have opened in the fields back then we were foolish
    So that time has not passed and taken away your memory
    The sun slowly moves behind the cloud
    Until I finally lost that space and time with you

    (if) that familiar pulse began to beat again
    Flowing fast outside the car window
    Which corner of the city are you in now
    want to see the gentle of your smile

    *If back then as a child on the grasslands I had looked back
    You said you loved me and
    I hadn't pretended to not know
    If you could look for me now and
    sing that same song and feel that same wind (same wind)

    Accompany you watching the sunset in every evening
    So many things that I wanted to tell you
    Is there still a chance for us to have that future we both missed?

    *If back then as a child on the grasslands I had looked back
    You said you loved me and
    I hadn't pretended to not know
    If you could look for me now and
    sing that same song and feel that same wind (same wind)
    I will hold your hand

    **On the grassland I look back
    Your disappointment I now fully comprehend
    If you could look for me now and
    sing that same song and feel that same wind (same wind)
    I will hold your hand

    Strolling onto the breeze stepping into the sky
    Strolling onto the breeze stepping onto the rainbow

    So, what do you think of the songs? Does the album suit your Asian pop taste? Well, if you are going to ask me, it suited mine. To the point where I even featured a post with it in my blog. Hehe. This was a definitely good album. Amazing songs! It was "Daebak!" (as Korean's call it!) The title track did not appeal to me that much at first, but after I saw the MV, I started to like it. I think it goes the same for the rest of the Suju songs. Ever since before, since they promote by releasing tracks in online music charts first, first followed by video teasers and then finally a music video, before the MV, I've always had mixed feelings. Sorry, Sorry is one of my favorite Suju songs of all time, but I didn't like on spot, I started to like it a few days after. It was the kind of like which grew after a few replays, and afterwards, I didn't know it was the #1 most played song in my playlist already. I have grown to really love that song over time (until now! ^ ^).

    Aside from the title track, the song which got me really hooked from this album was Love Is Sweet. It was written by Jay Chou, and he's like, well, I've been his fan for as long as I could remember. I think I was 14 or 15 then when I started listening to him. he has been pretty busy with crossing over to Hollywood lately with the movie The Green Hornet. So he's been on a hiatus from the music world lately since his latest album in 2010. After hearing the song he penned for SJ-M, I was like, "Now Now...I know why no one could replace him. His just so talented and all. Definitely irreplaceable! A music prodigy I must say." Well, his not called Taiwan's pop king for nothing. Hearing his songs once again after a long time, it was like being back to the good old days of my youth. I remember having all his songs in my computer when I was in high school. I did organize them into folders when our old PC was still alive. Good times! Hehe. Good times!

    Another favorite would be Destiny. It reminds me of SJ-M's previous ballad song Blue Tomorrow, which was the follow-up track to Super Girl for their first mini album in 2009, but this time it's sweeter and the melody is better, compared to the latter which was about heartbreak and saying goodbye to someone you don't want to part ways with. My All Is In You was also good. It's better than the Korean version, in my opinion. I don't know for the others, but it's better sounding in Chinese. Haha! This song was actually from Super Junior's fourth full length album Bonamana, and was later remaked in Chinese for sub-group Super Junior M's second mini album. True Love on the other hand was produced and arranged by Chance and Peter from the Korean hiphop trio One Way. They are known as Suju's good friends, so they have enlisted their support for them in this album. Lastly, Off My Mind which was Henry's composition was good. I missed hearing Henry's voice so I like it. It's upbeat and it's dancable, so many fans will hopefully like it too.

    So that's it! My Super Junior M Perfection mini album review is done! It's not so technical the way music critics would usually review an album, but I really did my best to share my thoughts and feelings for this one. It's more of like a fan review for my part, since I'm their fan. Though it's sounds a bit bias, it can't really be helped. What is it not to love with these guys? I'm sure legions of fans would agree with me. And with all honesty, even if I did not happen to be their fan, I will still like this album. Why? Because the songs are good and they did a pretty good job. Now these boys should give each other a pat in the back for a job well done! It was an amazing album.

    And now, my hands are tired. So if you allow me, I would like to take my leave. More Asian drama and movie reviews as well as more album releases and/or reviews and anything and everything in between are coming your way, so stay tuned for more! The super girl wannabe is signing off for another appointment, so if you'll excuse me, I'm taking off. Till my next pose. Ciao! ^ ^

    By the way, to all Kpop and Super Junior fans, remember to support the group by purchasing their music. It's the legit way to support our favorite idols by giving back to them what they truly deserve, after putting up so much effort and hardwork whether it's a single, mini album or a full length album release.
