The other day, they released their first full album in about four years since February 2020.“LOVE UNIVERSE”Kim Hyun Joong, whose release has just been announced.
It has been decided that the album will include the new song “Love Again” by Naoto Inti Raymi, who Hyun Jun regards as a friend who warmly welcomed him to Japan after they first became friends through futsal 12 years ago when Hyun Jun made his solo debut in Japan.
The upbeat rhythm and positive lyrics of “Love Again” are sure to liven up this summer!
Although Kim Hyun Joong was unable to perform in Japan for a long time due to the pandemic, “LOVE UNIVERSE” will include many popular songs that have been constantly produced for Japanese fans, such as “Song for a Dreamer,” which attracted many listeners as a movie theme song, “Hanamichi,” whose lyrics by Fujii Fumiya make Kim Hyun Joong’s fresh songwriting shine even more, and “Sakura News” written by Kawashima Ai, which is the perfect song for the season of departure. The album will also include two new songs written and composed by Kim Hyun Joong.
Comments from the two are as follows:
Since I made my solo debut in Japan 12 years ago, we’ve played soccer together,
My dear friend, Naoto Inti Raymi, who drank with me.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude to be able to join you in this way!
It’s a fun, summery song, and I hope that all of my fans, as well as Naoto’s fans, will enjoy it.
I think this is a song that everyone in Japan will love.
Kim Hyonjun
We met in 2012.
Wow, that was 12 years ago already.
Time flies.
When Korean artists come to Japan
Because I want to play soccer,
It was the first time someone called out to me.
From there, not only soccer but
Drinking until the morning at a Korean restaurant,
A two-man live show at Saitama Super Arena.
Yes, I have a lot of memories with him.
He’s a really kind and cool guy
Despite our awkward English,
My heart went through it all.
I was so happy to be asked to produce his music.
I was very happy.
How can you bring out the charm?
I wish I could approach it to the fullest extent.
I hope this song will reach all of our fans as a summer staple starting this year.
I have never been so happy.
