WWW: Remake: Removing One’s Makeup

 

I don’t usually comment on the physical presentation of our Guys albums. They are always equally beautiful. However, Jaejoong’s WWW Remake album came in so uniquely packaged that I feel compelled to express my reaction to it.

I received my copy yesterday. I had waited some time for it to come in. Waiting makes for more anticipation, right? The package was oversized! I remember thinking, “Gracious, why is this package so huge?

After removing the bubble wrap, I placed the album on the table while I looked at each element of its presentation. There were several things that caught my attention. I noted the shape. It was reminiscent of the speakers on stage viewed from above.[Note: check out the first picture in the booklet]  It also had a coffin feel. Mostly, it looked like a gift box, especially considering the lid of gold and black. A rich presentation. The gold band encircling the box referenced the first WWW: Who When Why.

I removed the lid and gently put it aside. The photo/lyrics booklet was on top. It was a tight fit that bent the corners just a wee bit. No bigee. The pictures and info were worth the wait, Encased in the main body of the package were the CD and DVD. They were almost anti-climatic after the excitement of the presentation. Yet, don’t get me wrong. This album would be beautiful sent in a plain cardboard box. The booty is the tracklist. Outstanding work, Jaejoong!

I felt as if I was receiving a marvelous gift, this repackaged WWW. I especially like ‘Heaven’, Keshou’, Butterfly…  To be honest, I like all of the songs. Jaejoong has such a beautiful, expressive voice–he owns this album on many levels. I’m just happy that he took advantage of the opportunity to share these songs and pictures with us. What’s next? If this album is any indicator–the sky is the limit!
I look forward to Jaejoong’s next album.

JYJ Jaejoong Announces New Repackage Album “Erase Makeup” + Details

Kim Jaejoong, who exhibited images of various types through his first solo rock album in October last year, came out again with emotional ballad. Kim shows his versatility as an artiste through writing 10 out of 13 songs in the album.

jaeheavengummyduet

In this repackage album, 2 more new songs will be added and more love stories will be shared.

The repackage album, WWW Erase Makeup, will be released on October 20 and his new song, Heaven, which was sung during his Asia tour, received much love and hence, it will be included in this album. Heaven is a sentimental winter ballad which is of pop and ballad genre.

Kim Jaejoong earned motivation from the movie ‘A Moment To Remember’ to write the lyrics and a song was created that features Gummy to stand out beautiful harmonies. Kim re-arranged Keshou (Makeup) by Nakajima Miyuku, a famous Japanese singer-songwriter, and it will be included in this album too.

Kim’s version of Makeup leaves the original blues and he arranged that song with only the piano and strings to express its simple and moderate feelings.

In the beginning, he chose this song for his fan-meeting tour in Japan and for its sad lyrics. This song recites the sad heart as if one looks at himself into the mirror and searching for the love that left.

“What is this makeup business I had not thought about it deeply. Tonight, I’m fine with dying, I want to be beautiful.” and “Don’t flow, tears, till the bus leaves here”, are part of the lyrics that are smeared with emotion of grieve over the love that is ignored by one’s heart. Kim made the song dramatic by a monological chanting and sometimes by weeping.

As Kim made the song pitiful and emotional by interpreting it into a female vocal song by his own colors, the listeners can feel the strength of his vocals. Listeners can recall their emotion that they bury in their memories and shed tears. Kim showed many genres like Britpop, Softrock, Neo Punk that are based on rock, and received much favorable comments.

He also made numerous records that make their way up to 1st place in 12 countries. He succeeded in entering the iTunes Chart in 34 countries including Europe and South America. He topped the Japanese iTunes Chart six times this year while staying 1st place on YinYueTai V Chart in China for five weeks. These achievements made people to realize his popularity.
