One of the Most Beautiful Song Ever Written




I'm talking about a song called Desire from Kanjani8, well, Yasuda Shota and Shibutani Subaru to be precise. Composed by the genius chimpanzee Yasuda Shota and Shibuya add the lyric. The song is fillled with overtunes, difficult chords and all that somehow remind me alot of James Moody's Mood For Love... Not that the songs are similar or sumthing, but I feel the same mood from both songs. It's not the kind of song that you will enjoy after the first encounter, I know I was not... But after several time listening to it, the song started to grow in you.

Kokubun Taichi of Tokio, the boys' senpai, also complimented the song. In his talk show, Taichi stated that he was surprise to know that Yassu found all the difficult chords, he thought that it was the arranger who add it.

You don't have to understand the lyric to know that this song is beautiful.. Well, the lyric itself is pretty ero in my opinion, as expected from the ero sensei Shibuyan... The lyric also written by a female perspective (so... Shibuyan is the 'female' in the Yassuba pairing? I always thought it was Yasu with all that manicured nails and stuff... ^^), just like Hirai Ken's Elegy. Actually I don't get how do you write in female or male perspective... Is it more feminine?? How come a song more feminine that the other?? I guess there are alot of things I have to learn. Well, in case of these songs, Hirai and Shibuyan use 'atashi' that commonly use by girls instead of 'boku' or 'ore'. That's how far I know a girl or a boy song...

This color-pallette boy is really is SOMETHING! I know that Yassu is good of composing song, but I never know that he is THIS GOOD... from the simple song of Onigishi and Purin to difficult song like Desire not to mention Airairo and Watashi No Kagami.... As someone in LJ mentioned that Yassu always produce songs that he could actually sing, he know his vocal range and what kind of song that suited his voice. Unlike Nishikido that practically stretching his vocal chord in his self-written songs. And in my opinion, Kiddo also lack in variation I practically could not set apart Code, Halfdown and Stereo...

Back to Desire, this song is my favorite from all the bonus song in Musekinin Hero single. Better than Tornporn hehehee.... Okay, Tornporn got all the scream, Hoshii Mono wa got the cuteness.. Desire got the serious thing... ^^
