Thoughts: Finally it’s out! Bolero became one of my most played song on itunes even before the single was officially released. I’m amazed that I actually love all 3 songs on this single. Bolero is sooooo epic.. It’s like Love in the Ice & Forever Love, two of my favorite ballads ever. I listened to Bolero throughout my whole winter break and it really gave the wintery feelings. Apart from being vocally beautiful, the lyrics are really heart-warming as well. Kiss the Baby Sky is upbeat and energetic and the chorus will make you very high. Micky’s laughs & narration throughout the song (“You know what I’m talking about baby?” Um.. no, not really Micky. LOL) creeps me out a bit though… and I couldn’t help but laughed when he went “My Hero, My Max,” giving a shoutout to the DBSK members… LOL. And geez, their voices are really really high (especially Min). Wasurenaide, composed by Jae, is beautifully heart-wrenching… My favorite line has to Changmin’s saying “message”.. It sounded so heart-wrenching. Highly recommended. ♥♥♥
From Yesasia: All four of Dong Bang Shin Ki’s Japanese single releases in 2008 shot to the top of the Oricon charts, setting a new Oricon record for #1 singles by overseas artists. Not slowing down their productivity, the quintet launches their first release of 2009, a triple A-sided single. The ballad Bolero is based on traditional Spanish dance rhythms and also the theme song for the new movie Subaru. As for the other two singles, Kiss The Baby Sky and Wasurenaide, they were both penned by members of the band.
