V2.
V2 is a band, made up of Tetsuya Komuro, a famous pop producer, and Yoshiki, the leader of X Japan, a rock group, and also a producer. Tetsuya Komuro creates beautiful music, even if his voice will seem strange to people who have gotten accustomed to rock music.
Indeed, it was very different from what I had expected when I first heard his voice. Trying not to cringe, I concentrated on the background music. It was very kirei, something that I have never heard of before. The first track, "Eyes of Venus" begins with pianos' voices, followed by the fast beat of regular rock music.
Its style reminds me of X, but it is somehow different.
"Virginity" is another beautiful song whereby there is a conversation between two lovers. I have gotten three kinds of feedback on it, one, "I think it is irrelavant" two, "... ..." three, "Romantic!" Being the romantic one, I naturally said the last one.
I showed my friend the lyrics, but she could not understand. Well, her literature marks weren't exactly high either. then she began saying, "What's it between you and romantic?"
Obviously my opinion will not count in the eyes of many. Naturally, being a 13 & a 1/2 year old... Uh...
Still, she was not a person who listens to rock like mine.
V2 was a popular project in its time, and now the single is rare, from what I heard.
Back to Tetsuya's voice, I actually got accustomed to it, and I like his style of singing. Basically it is a pop voice. The girl's voice in Virginity, too, is very sweet and soft. The boy, however, needs to pass his english oral examinations. It kind of ruins the whole part where the music is indeed the most powerful and turning point of the song.
Note: I do not know Japanese. And this is personal opinion, if you think otherwise, it's none of my business, well, uh, unless you have nothing better to do. Makes sense?

In any case, it'll serve you right, since you can't be bothered about getting the single and writing your own article. Deal? Anyway, I'm only 13, with lousy english, and I did not earn any money out of this. So just leave me and my article alone. Doumo arigarou.
