Gods rising from the East.

That's the literal meaning of 東方神起. Today is the 4th anniversary of the band, having debuted on 26th December 2003 performing with BoA and their debut song, Hug. Back then, Yunho was chubby and still had his tiger teeth; Jaejoong's hair didn't match his face; Junsu forgot his dance steps; and overall they just looked much younger. Back then, they didn't have crazy fangirls screaming their lungs out at every move they made. The first album, Tri-Angle, was released in 2004. They've certainly come a long way. =)

I blogged a lot about DBSK, mostly about the random cute things and their looks. But now I'll introduce you to what made me like them in the first place - their music. I wanted to do this a long time ago, but since there are just too many good songs, I was too lazy to start. xP

As I said, there are a lot. It's gonna be very long, so I'll do this by order of album, their release date and the track number 'cos I'm a control freak. I'll put the link to the MV (if there is one) and some good LIVE performances to show you how good they are singing LIVE (but of course, sometimes they do make mistakes). The video quality of the LIVE versions may not be the best, though.

lalalala I'm done. How long did I take to find these and choose the ones with the better quality (image and vocals) to post? Very long. But it's safer to do it now then say, a year later, when the list will have expanded. Check the acapellas out, 'cos their perfect acapellas are what differentiate them with other boybands (afterall, they were marketed as a vocal group). So for now, enjoy the nice songs, beautiful vocals and great view. xD
