Toy - Toy for Music

Toy is a project band leading by You Heeyeaul.

You composes every songs and many famous singers sing his song.

He is one remarkable artist in korea.

His major at his young age was actually in a classical music category.

He majored classical music composition but what he really interested in was not a classical music.

On his junior year he made a band with his friends and that was a complete mass.

After graduation, he made his debut with an album named "In My Mind..."and that was a sensational trial in adult contemporary field in Korea.-actually there was no contemporary genre or artists in korea at that time. We had ballade, dance and trot(something like korean version of enka)

No composers had released an album with other artists singing songs until then.

Years passed, people got older, but still his songs are loved by many fans.

This song is "I wonder... Are You Still Beatiful?" on an album "A Night in Seoul"

"When we were broke up, I felt free. I 've never thought about you and thought that I was all over you. But times passed I started realizing something missing in my days, months, years. And one day I cried thinking about you. This is the day I cry after all those years. Are you still beautiful like our good times? How about the way you talk and giggles that I loved? I have changed a little. I don't smile much like old times and I find myself in the mirror grey and blue. Please be happy for me."

Sora - Sweet Heart, Bitter Voice

She made her debut in 1991 as a member of an accapella group.

In 1995 her self-titled album had been released and it was a smashing hit in Korea.

Her husky voice was an extraordinary feature for woman singers at that time.

The title song is loved by Koreans till now.

This Video is from her own TV show on a major television network KBS in 2003.

You can see her tears in this video.

Almost every single songs of this singer are about her own life expierences.

She wrote lyrics by herself and sometimes she crys even the show is going on.

This one is one of the best clips that I love

The song-title is "I Am Happy Now"

"Forgive me. I have left you for my new life and love. I've tried not to but I couldn' help it. It's too late for me and you. I am happy now so you should be happy for me and yourself. I can't forget about our love untill the day I die. I hope you don't meet someone like me again. I loved you."
