LE SSERAFIM - EASY (Japanese ver.)

The first encounter with ‘EASY (Japanese ver.)’ in the flow of 'Discovering Different Expressions of LE SSERAFIM in Japanese Original Songs' acts as a hinge that either connects or breaks the preceding atmosphere; while maintaining relaxed vocals and a trap rhythm, the Japanese vowels and consonants fill the melody’s gaps differently, which serves as the basis for reading different melodies and expressions from the Korean release in the Japanese original song.

Japanese original songs are not merely supplements placed between the translated versions of Korean title tracks. The intersection of time spent on local activities, melody choices, and the pronunciation in Japanese allows LE SSERAFIM to independently showcase different expressions.

After listening in the order of release, try alternating with corresponding Korean albums one song at a time. Rather than concluding which side is better, focus on identifying the maintained attitudes and changed expressions in both markets; this is how to enjoy this list for a long time. The order in 'Discovering LE SSERAFIM's Different Expressions in Japanese Originals' is a guide to begin comparisons rather than a definitive answer. It’s also nice to revisit the same order on another day rather than making conclusions with just one listen.
