![[TRANS] Megadeth's Marty Friedman: TVXQ Empty](https://2img.net/i/empty.gif)
Marty Friedman, former lead guitarist of heavy metal band Megadeth and a Japanophile (T/N: In layman terms, it's someone who is obssesed with anything about Japaneses) recently shared his thoughts on TVXQ.
'They would sell even if they weren't good looking! TVXQ's singing ability is worth its value in money. TVXQ, an accapella dance group from Korea, and who attended last year's Kouhaku Uta Gassen, can be said to be the representative of Global J-Pop with their impressive harmonizing.
Maybe fans will say it's bullshit, but to me, if you can sing, you'll be able to sell even if you wren't good looking, right?
Their song Bolero, is a great ballad that showcases their super vocals. What surprised me was that compared to other J-pop ballads, the feeling for this song is dark. The beat is slow, and there was no usage of guitars etc. Even so, the song gave off a dark and haunting vibe for me.
I like K-pop too, and I listen to it often, and there are of course other song with dark vibes too. The difference with J-pop is that K-pop uses Classic music as it's foundation, thus naturally creating a melody with a dramatic feel.
At the ending climax, one person (JaejoongYoochun) uses an almost feminine pitch to produce the effect of harmonizing between men adn women; the jarmonization from the 5 of them is amazing.'
