I know soulhunter already did a topic about younha, but that would be digging old posts. Anyway, I'm totally in love with Younha's voice and this song: Te wo Tsunaide It's used as the ending theme for Jyu Oh Sei.

Also like HOUki Boshi. That one was in Bleach I tihnk.

Anyone else like her? recommend other songs by her? She's from Korea and likes to play the piano. Her face is pretty cute, but I still think Hikki is cuter. Did you know she listened to Hikki's music, at least wikipedia says so.

she speaks korean and japanese right??

She's Korean actually, but debuted in Japan. Rejected by SM Entertainment in Korea but luckily accepted in Japan. She started playing the piano when she was four, and turning 21 this April 29. Btw, I saw a video on Baidu that she was talking about Hikki, that was 2005. But I lost the link, I'm currently searching for it again.

AND! Please look forward to her first Japanese movie, it will be aired this April 2009. entitled, "Next Sunday"

and her very first english song from her 2nd Korean album "Someday": My song and...

She sings English songs fluently, I actually don't hear any accent when she sings English.

wow you really like her eh? I she your new obsession?

you know she got rejected coz she wasn't pretty enough? but I disagree. she has the whole package.

Lol macky really love Younha, best of luck to her Japanese movie debut

Quote:

Yeah, you got that right Idle

And, unfortunately yes, she got rejected before because she wasn't pretty enough, that's what they've thought. But it's their loss. I've been obsessed with Younha after hearing Houki Boshi. lol.

I like her more on the PV of the Korean Version of Houki Boshi, Hyesung. But I love the original version of Houki Boshi of course.

I believe Younha also covered some Journey songs previously. I'm no expert, but I can recall her singing "Open Arms"...I think. Anyways, I have heard Younha quite a bit. Not really a fan, but I occasionally listen. Personally, I don't think she is all that special when it comes to her Japanese music. But she definitely has a great voice. I heard that Younha's second Korean album was awesome. I haven't tried it out myself yet, but I have listened to "Memory" and enjoyed it. Though, I might be a bit biased because it features Tablo and sounds similar to Epik High's current musical direction. And there was 'Umbrella' from Epik High's fifth album, featuring Younha. One of my personal favorites from the album, her voice really complimented the song well.

wow thx for the info maki

she's awesome =)

Yes, she also covered "Open Arms" and Alicia Key's "If I ain't got you".

I would agree with you, her Japanese music didn't hit me that much, it sounded kinda weird for me, and I listen more to her Korean songs rather than the Japanese. I suppose, when she's still starting in Japan, she didn't cope up that well with the people there, and unable to express her true self. I saw the big difference of her performance in Japan and in Korea, in Japan she always make a shy-type facial expression, while in Korea she's really grown up. That's why I like her more in her Korean career because she already gained self-confidence after the Japanese experience.

whoa..she's korean??? didnt catch that...lol...had no idea...

is she the one who was featured in like all the epik high songs??? they mainly used her for majority of the songs they used a girl for but couldnt really recruit her to their group because of her solo stuff she does...

i may have heard her before...but im going to check her out again...for good measure...i know macky would recommend her for me right???

[edit]: yea i just heard her and she's good...really good...really love her voice...very strong tone...and you can tell she's korean...(i still didnt know...bash me for it, i know..i'll take it) i missed a great singer til now...just too bad that i didnt listen to her sooner...i stared at macky's avatars and her siggy's regarding younha...but~ i found out now...so its all good for me...
