More mainstream pop artists took a switch to R&B during this time including the now retired singer and dancer, Namie Amuro. After much criticism for dabbling in R&B in the 90s, songs from her Style, Queen to Hip-Pop and PLAY albums started gaining interest; notably Put ‘Em Up, So Crazy, Girl Talk, HELLO and Pink Key. Along with Amuro, ero-kawaii artist Koda Kumi became a trendsetter after her Best~First Things~ got popular. She had R&B tracks that heightened like 秘密 (Secret), this is not a love song and No Way from some of her best albums, Kingdom, TRICK and UNIVERSE. The versatility in J-R&B songs showcased to many in the industry that it was impactful  and interest from artists such as Ishida Yuko’s Missin’ U,  SATOMI’s Baby Doll, MISIA’s ANY LOVE, YA-KYIM’s someday, Leah Dizon’s Softly, May J.’s Why Why Why and Yuna Ito’s Losin in the mid  2000’s to early 2010s. Even R&B was pouring into idol songs like Morning Musume’s Do It Now and Goto Maki’s Tear Drops. Along with these tracks, there were many other standout albums that were heavily influenced such as Hiromi’s Rainbow, Kato Miliyah’s Heaven, AI’s The Last Ai, Jasmine’s Gold, LISA’s Gratitude, BENI’s Jewel and Thelma Aoyama’s Diary.

Leah Dizon Lyrics: Not Too Bad

English translation and romanization below the cut.

ENGLISH

Baby   You got a new hair cut You think trying to win me over Hey boy   With that cool ‘tude of yours Will make me turn your way? Baby   You’re kinda cute when you’re trying so hard Maybe I’m fallin’ in love I’m not quite there yet but baby you’re not too bad!

You try to make me turn your way With trendy clothes And Nice smelling perfume, but it’s not that simple But you can give it a try

I see you looking at me the whole time you’re “looking away” Even when you’re pretending not to I don’t mind if you do, but if you want more from me You gotta make me say “You’re looking so damn fine!”

Baby   You got a new hair cut You think trying to win me over Hey boy   With that cool ‘tude of yours Will make me turn your way? Baby   You’re kinda cute when you’re trying so hard Maybe I’m fallin’ in love I’m not quite there yet but baby you’re not too bad!

Tryin’ to act all cool you’re tryna be smooth in the way you talk, too But something about it feels so awkward, baby Maybe you’re trying a little too hard? maybe

I feel your eyes on me when I’m with you I can’t see them, but I know you’ve got some feelings I see right through you. if you want more from me You gotta make me say “You’re looking so damn fine!”

Baby   You got a new hair cut You think trying to win me over Hey boy   With that cool ‘tude of yours Will make me turn your way? Baby   You’re kinda cute when you’re trying so hard Maybe I’m fallin’ in love I’m not quite there yet but baby you’re not too bad!

Hey boy come on Show me what you’ve got Hey boy come on Maybe I will have to change my mind Looks aren’t everything But show me what’s really inside you Make me turn my head if you want more from me You gotta make me say “You’re looking so damn fine!”

Baby   You got a new hair cut You think trying to win me over Hey boy   With that cool ‘tude of yours Will make me turn your way? Baby   You’re kinda cute when you’re trying so hard Maybe I’m fallin’ in love I’m not quite there yet but baby you’re not too bad!

Baby   You got a new hair cut You think trying to win me over Hey boy   With that cool ‘tude of yours Will make me turn your way? Baby   You’re kinda cute when you’re trying so hard Maybe I’m fallin’ in love I’m not quite there yet but baby you’re not too bad!

[city-onfoot]

Sometimes, I smell a whiff of something, or hear a certain beat, and I’m transported to places I’ve been . Therr are times when the places are tied so something else. But just like the ones I’ve actually visited, I can imagine myself in them. And these are tricky to trace, because well, how can you be reminded of the smell of something that’s only on-screen?

There’s something about this one random song I decided to play called “Puzzle” by JYONGRI that took my imagination to a restaurant in Hong Kong. The picture above is of a place I have no recollection of being in. Frankly, I don’t think I’ve set foot on a particularly upscale, semi-modern bistro in Hong Kong. That is, if you don’t count hotel restaurants. But the picture is vivid. It’s similar to the picture above. But maybe with no paintings on the wall. And a higher ceiling. Also, chandeliers. Somehow, this image now brings me to this song called “Love is The Greatest Thing” by W-inds. Now this song, I’m quite familiar with, as I occasionally listen to the artist. But like the first song, it’s in Japanese. So why am I reminded of Hong Kong?

Perhaps I’ve been engrossed in JPop when I was in Hong Kong on holiday, that certain beats/tunes I’ve listened to became part of my mental image of the place. I have been led to JYONGRI by an actual nostalgic listening of Leah Dizon’s music, whose debut album I almost bought in Hong Kong if I wasn’t saving my pocket money to last a couple more days before flying home. It was Christmas at the time. And I’ve bought a pack of See’s Chocolates in Central for the family to try. We were starting to cut down on chocolate consumption at the time. So the chocolates lasted long. But a nibble every once in a while reminded us that it was worth it. Maybe I’ve passed by one of these restaurants on that trip. Or maybe I’ve seen enough movies and TV shows from Hong Kong, China, or even Taiwan and Singapore as a child, that one if the scenes in a restaurant was engraved into my memory. Nontheless, I welcome the nostalgia.

I should revisit Hong Kong once the pandemic, and the local tensions die down. And a good deal is made for the people. Update these memories, and imagine new places to travel to when certain songs play.

Leah Dizon Lyrics: Communication!!!

English translation and romanization below the cut.

ENGLISH

I’m not selfish But I know what I need I won’t lie

I won’t lie I won’t hide how I feel

From Midnight to sun up We’ve been using body language Surrender your inhibitions Open your heart to me COMMUNICATION!!!

Just your touch is never enough Never enough, never enough... Yeah You got a voice so baby speak up, I still can’t hear you Yeah You wanna know what turns me on? Turn me on, Turn me on... Yeah Genuine COMMUNICATION Come talk to me Talk to me, yeah~

Things haven’t cooled between us But I use my time wisely I won’t die, I won’t hesitate to say “good-bye” I won’t waste my time

From Midnight to sun up Just your touch and I’m left speechless Throw away your limitations Put your heart and soul into it COMMUNICATION!!!

Just your touch is never enough Never enough, never enough... Yeah You got a voice so baby speak up, I still can’t hear you Yeah You wanna know what turns me on? Turn me on, Turn me on... Yeah Genuine COMMUNICATION Come talk to me Talk to me, yeah~
