JYJ member Kim Jaejoong expressed interest in working with HYDE.
Before his Asia mini-concert and fanmeet tour “Your, My and Mine” Shanghai stop takes place, Kim Jaejoong held a press conference at the Shanghai Marriott Luwan at 6pm on the 16th.
In the question about who is the next musician he wants to work with on the next album, Jaejoong answered, “Although if I have the chance, I want to work with a multiracial band, but from a personal perspective, I really wish to work with HYDE from the famous Japanese band L’Arc-en-Ciel”.
The HYDE that Jaejoong mentioned is the main vocal of the well-recognized Japanese visual rock band L’Arc-en-Ciel. HYDE, who is currently working on his solo activities, is a musician with great strengths and skills much like his image in the Japanese popular rock band, and has gained the praise of “daebak main vocal”.
Kim Jaejoong shows his high attentiveness to rock music regularly. His first mini album “I”, released in January, included 5 rock songs; and from this it can be seen that Jaejoong has taken his first step towards becoming an artist. Although he debuted as an idol, he has won praise for his ability to produce high-quality albums and his willingness to try and experiment. Therefore, not only in Korea, Jaejoong has a very high popularity overseas. The repackaged album was also sold out, which shows his success as a singer.
When asked whether if he will continue to use rock music for his next solo album, Jaejoong replied, “I still would like to make a rock album”, and he continued to explain, “even rock has various styles, I would like to challenge myself to try more varieties of rock and bring them to my fans”.
Kim Jaejoong held the Shanghai fan meet and mini-concert at 7:30pm on the 17th with 5000 fans, he also sang the 9 songs in the mini solo album “I”, which was released in January.

HYDE is my fav…..b4 i knew korean ^^

Same for me. L’arc-en-ciel was the first Japanese CD I ever purchased (but not the first group I ever listened to; That honour goes to my favourite band, X Japan. Laruku was second ^^) years before I ever started listening to Korean music.
wow, hyde please listen to jaejoong..!!

Jae is so DAEBAK in rock 🙂
That would be beyond freaking epic!!
I love both of them,been Hyde’s fan before getting into kpop ^^
I wish he could work both with Hyde and with Gackt
OMG, Gackt! I don’t know if I would be able to stand it if they are together on the stage… I’d be dead before they opened their mouth!
Oh my gosh that would be a dream! My ears, they are ready to hear the blending of such perfect voices.
Woahhh they can pass as brothers , both of them are visual shock ~ ~ ~ daebakkkkkk

Please let it be true Jae 🙂
kris do you know hyde? But i didn’t know. I want to hear his song. Do you know what song is best? ‘Caz i like rock songs.
sorry to answer, i do know hyde.. he is a vocalist in a rock band from Japanese, known as Haido, but he also do solo carrer known as HYDE. 😀
for me Larc best song is My Heart Draws a Dream. But there are so many good songs..
i recommend u these songs of Larc en Ciel:
1. NIJI
2. Ready Steady Go
3. Flower
4. Hitomi no Jyuunin
5. Link
6. Jiyuu e no Shoutai
7. New World
i mean a rock band called Larc en Ciel, his nick name is Haido , but as solo his nick name is HYDE 😀
Hi yuu-xia 29!
Thank you so much friend. I also find to listen it.
I don’t know about Japanese musician, so I search for Hyde, you can read about him here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyde_(musician)
and Wow, he has amazing discography, Jaejoong will be so lucky if they can work together.
@kris hyde is great musician , he write the song, like jae.. 😀 he is good singer too.. and i think hyde is one of best singer in Japan. he is really talented. He can play guitar, harmonica, saxophone, drum, bass… etc.. it will be daebak for Jae if he can collab with hyde ^^
Hello wise friend kris!
Thank you and i know ‘caz of your given website.
If you like rock ballad, I recommend Anata, Hitomi no juunin, Pieces, What is love.
If you like mid-tempo rock, I recommend flower, snow drop, blurry eyes, dive to blue
If you like rock and roll, I recommend driver’s high, honey, niji, stay away
If you like high-note song, I recommend finale
Personally, I like snow drop, flower and perfect blue the best. Snow drop has the most low and high note in one song, I don’t think anyone could easily sing it even Hyde himself. If he’s not in his top form, it might be the most difficult song to sing. (use a lot of breath to sing high and long note with full voice. Once, I saw him sing it wonderfully without any hesitate and fell for him even more 😛 )
Flower is full with beautiful melody and it’s very suit Hyde’s voice. He expressed his feeling very well through every note of this song.
Perfect blue got you a bossa-nova style. It chills and yes, very difficult to sing. Not because the music note only but the song itself has very few breath breaking. Same as Hurry X’mas, my friend once said it looks like Hyde can breath through his skin, not his nose LOL
I hope you enjoyed them. And I hope Jae will sing one of them at concert too~~~ ><
It’s SO hard to choose ONE good song from L’arc because they have been around for so long!!! Almost all the songs you listed are on my top favourites! Blurry Eyes was the first I ever heard in 1998 and until NOW I still love the song!!
@cookiedough
Blurry Eyes was the first song I heard from L’arc en Ciel. My friend lend me a click best 13 album and I fell in love with L’arc since then >< You must have ever watched the Blurry Eyes MV right? Hyde is so pretty in that MV. I almost forgot to breath when I saw it for the first time. He's like the most beautiful man in that century! (well, it's still in 90s so no other competition much :P) and the guitar in that song is so marvelous. It's like a star was falling down from Ken's guitar (same as the guitar solo in Snow Drop, just too wonderful =///=) Anyway, it's so nice to meet you my friend~~^O^
In 2008, L’arc had a world tour and at that time I just started earning money only. I’m in Singapore and they were going to play in Hong Kong and I knew I HAD to watch them as I had waited since 1998!! Whoever would have thought that 10 years later, L’arc woudl still be around! And watched them I did!! THey were awesome!!! Then, they took a 3 year break but came back last year! I went to HK to watch them again and my seat was in the 3rd row, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM. I almost cried from happiness. And after the HK leg, they had another concert in Singapore and I went to catch that too where they actually sang Blurry eyes as one of the Encore songs! DREAM COME TRUE! Now my only other dream would be to hear “Pieces” live! lol!!!!!! NICE TO MEET YOU TOO!
If JYJ worked with L’arc,… woah…….. dream collab for me!
@cookiedough
I don’t even have a chance to watch them TT. There’s a family crisis and a lot of thing happened when L’arc had 20th Anniversary Concert. I was crying like a river when I knew I can’t go to their concert. But now I’m saving up for their concert already, so I really hope I won’t miss this time >////O///<
I'm from Thailand. If JJ will consider about singing Pieces or Perfect blue in Thailand live, I'll be very happy! XD
Thailand? Hello!! I went to Bangkok 4 times last year! lol. Out of the 4, once was for Junsu’s Tarantallegra concert and the other was for Yoochun’s fan meet. So broke. 😦 Sorry to hear that you couldn’t go to L’arc’s concert becuase I know they performed in Bangkok too, didn’t they??
I wasn’t in Thailand at that time and I couldn’t fly back. It seemed I got a curse or something TT When JYJ had concert in Thailand I can always joined them but with L’arc I was always too young, not have money enough or got a duty that I couldn’t leave TT. I hope next time this curse will be finally gone. TT At least I had luck with JYJ though. TTmTT
You should also listen to Honey by L’Arc En Ciel… It’s my favorite song
omg!! that whould be epic!! (not Gackt JJ??? haha!! that would be AWESOME!) ❤
I find that most people ( anyone into Japanese’s rock) likes/loves Hyde more ….Gackt has his own thing though .
Gackt is actually the 1st asian singer I discovered (14 years ago I think lol), so it’s sentimental!!! XD I love him!
yes Gackt was my first J-rock experience ..his Mars album to be exact.
While I love the way he looks and his artistic sense of style, Gackt’s music is a bit diffuse and unfocused for my taste, although I realize that distinction is intentional. Not everybody is head-over-heels with classic pop sensibility: simple hook-laden song form, a melody that repeats, a pay-off chorus that everybody can sing along with. (Actually Jaejoong is a very accomplished songwriter in this vein – that’s why I like him so much. He writes in more of a pop style.) I also really liked Kim Bada’s work because once again, though it’s hard rock it still has classic pop underpinnings.
*O* I’m so happy to read this!!!! ❤ ❤ < My fave singers together, that would be AWESOME 😀 this make my day 😛
I really want JJ to sing with him (or L’arc) … at least make a cover of one of their song! ><
yes cover one of Larc’s song!>,< i wanna hear!! esp NIJI or FLOWER.. his highnotes is perfect ❤
ohmygod!!!!! *screaaamsss*
Cjes/jp new agency, please make it true, please try connecting laruku!
Both of them collaborating has been one of my many expectations from jyj’s japanese comeback.
Or at least please do some cover from their discography, I’ve always thought that jj can cover laruku’s songs well. Please cover ‘time goes on’ or ‘bless’ or ‘feeling fine’.. My faves from them.
If Jaejoong and Hyde work together, it will DAEBAK!!! SUGOII!!!
that would be great. Hyde is legend! I would love to see him collab with Taka from One OK Rock though.
+1 to Jaejoong x One OK Rock collaboration! I love One OK Rock, and I think JJ’s vocals match their type of music (hardcore / punk rock) very well. If JYJ really joins Amuse, Inc. (as some rumors have it), it will become a possibility. *_*
WHAT!? There is rumor JYJ will join Amuse!? OMG! The same agency with my fav japanese actress ever, Ueno Juri. Please please ❤
@stilldaydreaming10
Yes, there are some rumors going around the Japanese fandom saying that JYJ may join Amuse, mainly because of the choice to broadcast their their concert in cinemas. Apparently this is common for artists from Amuse. I don’t think that’s really solid evidence though, and there’s some other evidence pointing to Pony Canyon instead, so don’t get your hopes too high yet. ;P Anyway we’ll know soon enough, if I’m not mistaken, JYJ will be announcing their label after the Dome concert.
That would be EPIC!! Taka ❤
OMGOSH JAEJOONG X TAKA IS AWESOME
Such awesome taste JJ.. HYDE is a GOD
I’d love to see them together!!! JJ and HYDE FTW!!!
He shud work with both hyde and gackt…kyaaaa…
Oh… that would be a dream come true for me. *_* L’Arc was my absolute favorite band when I was younger and still remains one of my favs to this day. I think it will be a great collaboration.
This makes so much sense….Im looking forward to seeing to the near future collaboration.
Heart attack awaits~*
whoa.. i love HYDE too!!! i was interested in Japan music before i like Korean music.. and eventho i cant even remember the songs name, i liked SMAP (ok, i admit mostly bcoz KimuTaku), Gackt (i love his voice, even when he just talked.. gosh he really has one of sexiest voice i’ve heard in my life) and Hyde back in the days (you know, in the 90’s n early 2000) =D
and he drop the bomb! anything about Jaejoong+Hyde will shake j-music for sure !!!
onegai!!!!
from now on…i have to tell myself that i am a fan of kim jaejoong the rock star, park yoo chun the actor, and kim junsu the soccer player… dae to the bakk hihihi
kim junsu the *musical genius
😀
Laruku n Jaejoong…??! sing a rock song..??! make double V-shock..??!?
Daaanggggg!!!!!! it’s to much even only to imagine..gaahh!!!
you know Jaejoong..what is the first thing cross in my mine when I first time heard your ‘one kiss’..??! I heard my soul Laruku inside yours…T^T
you bring them back..the feeling that I forget..and now you mention it Laruku by yourself.. Ohh..how can I want more than this now..??!
Jaejoong..please make it come true, nee.. I’ll wait no matter how long that can be (i promise).. i’ll support you, that’s why…Jaejoong Gambatteeeee..!!!! 😀
Omg. JYJ and L’arc are the ONLY two groups in the world I will fly overseas to watch!!! I liked Hyde since 14 and if Jae were to work with him, WHAT CAN I SAY? DREAM COLLAB!!!!!!!!
Hyde is my favorite japanese singer, I would die happy if they sing together :’)
Reblogged this on claudellele.
ahhh if this really happens i think i might have to fly to japan to see this~ hearing the audio won’t be enough haha
but if i could have jj at least cover a song it would be Anata, it’s such a nice rock ballad.
and I’d really like to hear js take on some rock melodies, maybe a ballad? I can imagine him singing wherever you are by One OK ROCK. heheheh
HYDE is a charismatic and very talented singer. Although his voice is affected now because of his age, he is still my favorite vocalist (sorry jae) and laruku was my first love when i was a teenager
He is also a visual shock and has vampiric image like Jae ^^
Hyde/Laruku and Jae collab would be a dream come true >.<
one of my favorite song of them
YES! THIS COMBO WOULD BE PERFECT!
This is sooooo weird. I was JUST Googling L’Arc-En-Ciel yesterday to see who their singer was! lolol I noticed on Yesasia that they have a new concert DVD out and I wanted to see if Youtube had any of it. They did have one song and wow, the singer was good. One problem – I wasn’t quite sure whether the singer was a man or a woman. He really sounded like a man of course, but…. he has really long hair in the vid and … well, forgive my crashing ignorance till I discovered it was Hyde. I’d head about him before but never checked out the band. Now I’m glad I did. I think it would be a great collaboration for Jaejoong.
@lilibaiyu hehehe hyde is really pretty right? with a long hair he is really pretty.. and with short hair he is really handsome.. u will be in shock if see him in PV – VIVID COLOR.. he has really long straight hair.. and still young at that time.. he is absolutely pretty there >__<
all Lar en Ciel's songs are great! Hyde has really good vocal, he can sings any genre song like jae 😀
@yuu_xia29
lol What a knucklehead I am… 🙂 I may not be brain surgeon material but I can usually tell men from women. But yes, my first time seeing and hearing Hyde was yesterday and today Jaejoong wants to write with him. Go figure…
@lilibaiyu go watch Larc en Ciel – My Heart Draws a Dream, that song is really beautiful.. i would die in happiness if jae cover that song 😀 #kekeke
@yuu_xia29
Will do. 🙂
Hyde is gorgeous back then now he is handsome like Prince. You may know it if you watch “Moon Child” movie. He is vampire and my other favorite rock artist Gackt also in the same movie together with Taiwanese artist Wang Lee Hom. As far as I know he is married and has daughter.
@raffz
I actually started to watch “Moonchild” a while back but then I had to stop and I just never got back to it. I’ll try to watch it in the future though. Both Hyde and Gackt have such a wonderful look, don’t they?
And it’s completely cracking me up that you guys are referring to Hyde as “old.” lol My that standard, I’m “Prehistoric.”
🙂
Sorry, if my words mean old but I really didn’t mean to. I watch Moon Child when I was in high school. I just watched it last month and thats why I mention Moon Child. Yes, he is ageing but not old even for me he doesn’t look old. He even looks more handsome. You can see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpE0BR5MZQg and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GgWFNuNRbg. He has numerous album and songs which is he created himself. I love all his songs from L~arc en ciel, HYDE or even VAMPS. I don’t know his new MV or album because I didn’t follow him quit awhile.
Here’s the video I was talking about in my comment above.
I really excited when I heard he really want to work with Hyde. Hyde is my favorite Japanese artist. He is popular of course. I knew him before I knew TVXQ. Yes, indeed he is old but, at the same time he is handsome. Other than Hyde my favorite Japanese visual rock artist is Gackt. Gackt currently under Avex label same with his previous Japanese agency.
I just need him to release another solo album. Preferably japanese. And rock. Heck I just want a full album really.
i love both of them, i’m biggest fan of L’arc en ciel before i knew about JYJ (TVXQ), i think Jaejoong should make a work with him. Hyde voice’s so damn cool, his falsetto technique very superb, his brilliant lyric will touch ur heart. Try to hear L’arc en ciel song Hitomi no Jyuniin, u will find out what i mean. Read this news make my heart thumping, will they collaborate as rocker ???
@Eka Azzahra
“Read this news make my heart thumping, will they collaborate as rocker ???”
It’s a thought that excites one, isn’t it? 🙂
Yeah, i wish can see two beautiful mans alive scream and head banging together >,<
@Eka Azzahra
lol A big DITTO on that.
Reblogged this on Eka's Voyage and commented:
You know my heart thumping when i read this news… I knew jaejoong stayed for a long time in Japan when he still in TVXQ and now Jaejoong try a rock music in his new solo album, but i don’t know if Jaejoong has interest to work with Hyde… Maybe because i’m too love with Hyde voice as hard-rocker i’m not really enjoyed Jaejoong song and i think his voice not fit for rock music, but proud because Jaejoong has a brave to try this kind of music and did the best. And after read this news, i would jump off from my chair. Will they collaborate ??? Will i can see two beautiful man alive scream and head banging together ??? They make me day-dreaming, but who knows one day it will come true :p
Am I the only one who thought of Gackt??? lol GacktxHyde I think gackt and jaejoong would get along so well XD
